Chapter: CHAPTER 180: OH NO! ETHAN WAS THE ONE WHO FRAMED ME!With the gavel struck, Steven broke down in tears, exclaiming, "I am innocent!!!" The police escorted him away as his family—parents, sister, and girlfriend—cried out in anguish. The victim's family rejoiced, relieved that justice had been served for their only son. Charlotte felt gratified that she had persevered with the case, despite the fact that Edward could not be brought back to life; justice had been achieved. Ethan was the only individual pleased to witness Steven's removal and to see him face a lifetime sentence for a crime he did not commit, wearing a mischievous smile. The following day, Angela visited Ethan, informing him that Steven had been sentenced to life imprisonment. She then shared the good news about how Cynthia had facilitated Ethan's automatic employment at the financial institution managed by her uncle, along with the provision of a house and car. Overcome with emotion, Ethan burst into tears, filled with joy at how his life had transformed overnight

Chapter: CHAPTER 179: THE JUDGEMENT DAY: I JUDGE BARRETT, DECLARE YOU GUILTY, AND I HEREBY SENTENCE YOU TO LIFE IMPRISONMENTCharlotte sighed and remarked, "Hmm, the case may be resolved by then." Ethan pivoted the conversation by posing a challenging question to Charlotte: "Given that you perceive something suspicious in this case, does this imply that you will cease to manage it and forgo seeking justice for your deceased client?" "I understand your intentions, Ethan, but I must disappoint you; as it stands, Steven is guilty, and I remain committed to this case and will pursue justice for my late client," Charlotte asserted. Ethan smiled slyly, as this was precisely the response he had hoped to hear. "I shall now return home; I look forward to seeing you on the final day for the judge's ruling," Charlotte announced as she departed. Ethan waved goodbye as he took a deep breath. A few days later, Cynthia spoke with her uncle, Maxwell, who is a bank manager at a different financial institution, concerning Ethan's employment. "Good day, Uncle," Cynthia greeted. "Oh, my favourite niece! How are

Chapter: CHAPTER 178: WHEN WERE YOU PLANNING TO INFORM ME THAT STEVEN HAD COMMITTED MURDER AND WAS IN POLICE CUSTODY?"Very well, I have heard you," Susan conceded. "Excellent! Now, please tell me how much you expended on your witness?" Jane inquired. "I do not comprehend; why are you posing such a trivial question?" Susan retorted. "Because that individual does not appear to be in dire need of financial assistance," Jane replied. "Neither does yours," Susan countered. "Pray tell, what secret are you concealing, and who is that individual?" Jane pressed. "Why do you not reveal the secret you are hiding?" Susan countered. Jane crossed her arms and stated, "You first; I shall disclose my secret after you reveal yours." "Why?" Susan queried. "Because I asked first," Jane responded. "Very well, I shall begin. If you must know, I am not concealing any secret; he is merely someone I assisted some time ago, and he opted to repay the favour by standing as a witness for my boyfriend, who happens to be your brother," Susan explained. "Really!" Jane exclaimed. "Indeed," Susan confirmed. "Please, el

Chapter: CHAPTER 177: I FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, I AM PRICELESS; NO AMOUNT OF BRIBERY WILL COMPEL ME TO WITHDRAW FROM THIS CASE"Very well. I hope she consents, as I am eager to leave this place," Steven concluded. "I will approach her office tomorrow morning. For now, I must take my leave. Take care, Steven, and maintain faith," Barrister Robert said as he departed. The following day, he visited Charlotte's office. Upon seeing him, Charlotte perceived that he had come with an important proposition. "Good day, Charlotte," Barrister Robert greeted. Charlotte responded with a feigned smile and remarked, "I assume we have not yet been formally introduced." Barrister Robert extended his hand in introduction, saying, "Oh, I apologise for my manners; I am Barrister Robert." Charlotte disregarded his handshake and retorted curtly, "I see no need to introduce myself again, as I believe you are already aware of my identity." "Could you at least offer me a seat?" Barrister Robert requested. "Given your demeanour, I did not assume you wished to sit," Charlotte replied. Barrister Robert nodded and said, "Charlott

Chapter: CHAPTER 176: THE COURT DAY (DO YOU PLEAD GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY)Barrister Robert, Steven's parents, his sister Jane, and his girlfriend Susan were all present in the courtroom, as were the victim's family. Upon the entrance of Judge Barrett, all present rose in a display of respect, after which he instructed them to be seated. The court usher then announced, "Let the witnesses come forward." Jasper was the first individual called to testify before Judge Barrett. "Please state your name and recount your observations regarding the defendant," directed Judge Barrett. None in the courtroom were familiar with Jasper, not even Charlotte, who was a friend of Steven's, hence he proceeded to introduce himself. "My name is Jasper, and I am a friend of the defendant. I was present at his residence when he received a phone call, and he took some time before leaving the house. Upon his arrival at the scene, he quickly contacted me to inform me that someone had been murdered prior to his arrival," Jasper stated confidently. Before Judge Barrett could pos

Chapter: CHAPTER 175: ‘WHAT WILL BE, WILL BE’"I need a hug too," Jasper said, reciprocating as he embraced Steven tightly. They then departed, and Steven was escorted back to his cell. Meanwhile, upon returning home, Jane promptly called Barrister Robert to inform him that her brother Steven wished to see him and that it was of great importance. The following morning, Barrister Robert arrived at the police station to see his client, Steven, curious about the reason for the summons. "Steven, how are you? Your sister called to say you wanted to see me. I hope everything is well," Barrister Robert inquired quickly. "Indeed, all is well. I simply wished to discuss something significant with you," Steven acknowledged. "Very well, I am listening," Barrister Robert responded. "I would like to know if you have managed to find anyone willing to act as my witness in court," Steven asked. Barrister Robert adjusted his necktie and cleared his throat before explaining, "Um, I regret to inform you that I have not yet secured a

MY UNGRATEFUL HUSBAND DIDN’T KNOW I AM THE TYCOON’S DAUGHTER
Audrey, dressed simply with her golden hair hidden under a faded cap, appeared to be a struggling young woman. However, she was actually the daughter of a wealthy tycoon, living in secrecy to avoid those who only sought her fortune.
Tired of being valued for her money rather than for who she was, Audrey pretended to be from a poor background in search of true love. In this disguise, she met Alan, a charming architect with big dreams. Their love flourished, and they married in a small, nature-filled ceremony, away from her luxurious life.
Unfortunately, their bond began to unravel when Audrey secretly hired Alan as CEO of her father’s company, hoping to help him succeed. While he initially thrived, the ambition that came with the position changed him, and he grew distant. Heartbroken, Audrey discovered that Alan had found comfort in another woman, believing her to be the true tycoon’s daughter. This betrayal left Audrey questioning love itself.
Just when she was ready to give up, Michael entered her life. A kind-hearted aspiring businessman, he appreciated Audrey for who she truly was and urged her to embrace her identity, emphasizing that love is about connection, not status.
How will Audrey reveal her true identity? What will happen to her ungrateful husband and those against her?

Chapter: CHAPTER 55: THE MASK SLIPSBy the time Samantha got home, the mask was already slipping. The moment she shut the door behind her, the strength she had carried all day dissolved as if it had never been real. Her back pressed against the door, her fingers still resting on the handle for a second longer than necessary, as though she needed something solid to hold onto. Then slowly—very slowly—she slid down until she hit the floor. Her breathing was uneven. Shallow. Tight. For a brief moment, she just sat there, staring at nothing, her mind replaying everything in fragments—his calm expression, the way he flipped through the pages, the pause… and then the quiet, almost effortless rejection. She had failed. The thought landed heavier the second time it crossed her mind. She had failed. Since the beginning of this carefully constructed game, she had never miscalculated. Every move had been precise, every step controlled. She had always stayed ahead—always known how things would unfold. But today… today had be

Chapter: CHAPTER 54: THE CONTRACT THAT WASN’T SIGNEDAs soon as Samantha stepped out of Alan’s office, her heels clicking confidently against the polished floor, Alan remained frozen for a few seconds, staring at the door she had just walked through. Her presence still lingered in the room like a storm that had just passed but one that promised to return. He exhaled sharply, ran his hand through his hair, and immediately reached for his phone. Michael. The line rang twice before it connected. “Alan,” Michael’s calm voice came through. “Yeah… Michael,” Alan began, trying to steady himself. “Samantha wants to meet with you.” There was a brief pause on the other end. “Right now?” Michael asked. “No,” Alan replied quickly. “She didn’t specify a time. Just said it was urgent. You can call me when you’re free so we can schedule something.” Michael sighed softly. “I’m a bit tied up at the moment. I’ll reach out when I’m available.” “Alright,” Alan said. “Just don’t take too long.” “I won’t,” Michael replied before the call ended. A

Chapter: CHAPTER 53: THE ILLUSION OF POWER“Samantha… what exactly was that just now?” Alan’s voice came out sharp, edged with anger. Samantha didn’t even flinch. She stood there, composed, her expression unreadable. “What exactly are you referring to?” she asked coolly, as though nothing unusual had happened. Alan let out a disbelieving breath, running a hand through his hair. “Don’t play games with me. You stormed into my office in the middle of a critical meeting—one that directly affects my contract and without a second thought, you ordered everyone out. Do you have any idea what kind of impression that leaves? Who does something like that?” A faint, almost amused smile curved Samantha’s lips. “I do,” she replied simply, her tone carrying a dangerous confidence. “I own this place, remember? I can walk into any room, interrupt any meeting, and dismiss anyone I please. No one questions me—no one has the right to. Not even you. Now, instead of wasting my time, sit down and listen carefully to what I came here to say.” Her

Chapter: CHAPTER 52: ONE MOVE, TWO TARGETSMeanwhile, on the very same day Samantha boldly stepped into my company, flawlessly playing the role of the fake tycoon’s daughter with Lucy acting as her ever-loyal assistant, a completely different scene was unfolding elsewhere. Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan arrived at the airport, and Lucy went to pick them up before taking them back to their mansion after their time away. The house stood exactly as they had left it—spotless, well-organized, and carrying that quiet elegance that reflected wealth and discipline. The moment they stepped inside, they immediately noticed that everything had been maintained with exceptional care, almost as if the house had never been empty. A few days later, there attention quickly turned to Lucy. “Lucy, you’ve taken care of this place as though it belongs to you,” Mr. Jonathan said, his voice filled with genuine admiration as his eyes scanned the polished surfaces and perfectly arranged furniture. “Truly, you are heaven-sent,” Mrs. Jonathan added warmly, he

Chapter: CHAPTER 51: THE TRAP THAT LEFT NO TRACEJason didn’t stop moving until he had completely exited the building. The glass doors slid shut behind him with a quiet, almost indifferent finality, but inside him, nothing felt settled. Nothing felt concluded. Instead, everything felt distorted—like reality itself had shifted slightly out of place. He paused on the pavement, standing still as though his body had finally caught up with what his mind refused to process. He adjusted his suit mechanically, smoothing out creases that no longer mattered, while people walked past him without sparing a glance. Conversations continued. Phones rang. Cars moved. The company behind him carried on as if nothing significant had happened. But for Jason, everything had changed. His entire world had tilted. “I was set up…” he whispered under his breath, the words barely audible even to himself. They lingered in the air, unanswered and unchallenged. There was no one to hear them, no one to deny them, and no one to confirm them either. That silenc

Chapter: CHAPTER 50: THE FALLJason didn’t open the drawer immediately. His hand hovered over it, his instincts screaming at him to be careful. Whatever was happening—it wasn’t ordinary. And if someone was setting him up, then reacting too quickly might be exactly what they wanted. His fingers twitched slightly above the handle, but something inside him held him back. Slowly, he withdrew his hand. “Think,” he muttered. He forced himself to stay still, to breathe, to process instead of react. His eyes shifted back to his screen, scanning the logs again with deeper focus this time. Unauthorized access. File transfers. Time stamps that didn’t match his actual activity. Everything was wrong. Everything was too perfect. This wasn’t just suspicious; it was engineered. Jason leaned back in his chair, exhaling slowly as his mind worked through the possibilities. His gaze remained fixed on the screen, but he wasn’t just seeing numbers anymore—he was seeing intention. “Someone is trying to pin this on me… and the qu
