"Alright, let's hear it."

Now that they'd agreed to work together, Zeke was ready to hear Caitlin’s plan.

She detailed her strategy thoroughly. Zeke listened intently, taking in every step.

After walking through the entire outline, Caitlin concluded,

"That’s my side of it. I think we can run our operations in parallel."

"Got it. I’ll keep you updated."

Zeke liked her approach. It even overlapped with some of his own ideas.

Still, everything depended on whether he could successfully carry out his part of the plan.

Before ending the call, Caitlin added a reminder.

"Zeke, be careful. We can’t afford to spook him too soon."

"I know. And Caitlin… happy birthday."

After hanging up, Zeke stood alone on the high balcony of the castle, staring into the thick clouds churning in the distance.

The rumble of thunder signaled an approaching storm, but instead of dread, he felt clearer than ever.

For the first time, he knew exactly what he needed to do.

When the workday ended, Caitlin received a cal

  • Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her   521: Still Playing Innocent?

    Ever since the conclusion of the Grand Design Expo, clips of Zora challenging the judges' authority began circulating online. No matter which segment it was, Zora came off as irrational—despite winning third place, she still questioned the judges' decisions.The internet erupted in backlash.\[Does she really think her designs are the best? Arrogant much?]\[It’s her again! She rigged the results as a judge during the piano competition. Now that she’s a contestant, she suspects everyone else of cheating? Pathetic.]\[Clearly can’t handle losing. She made a bet to quit the design world if she lost, and now she’s just throwing a tantrum.]\[With that attitude, I’d never wear anything from her brand. Disgusting.]\[The first-place “Divine Light” collection was a thousand times better than her heavy mess of a lineup

  • Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her   520: Why Not Go Find Her Father?

    “Ah—!”As Zora stepped down from the stage, her foot slipped and she tumbled forward hard.The fall was sudden and completely ungraceful. Her dress tore at the hem, leaving her sprawled awkwardly on the floor—utterly humiliated.Lying on the cold ground, she could feel every single person’s eyes fixed on her. This was the kind of moment people had nightmares about—a total public meltdown.She wanted to disappear into the floor.Thankfully, the pregnancy was still in its early stages, so she didn’t suffer any serious injury. But Zora, too embarrassed to open her eyes and face the world, simply pretended to pass out.“Zora!”Ximena rushed over in a panic, kneeling to help her up.“Something happened! Miss Harris just collapsed!”&ldqu

  • Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her   519: Teach Her a Lesson

    “What else can I do? The moment we made that bet, you must’ve already started pulling strings, right? Using your identity as Kayla—don’t tell me you *don’t* know the judges today? Are you seriously claiming you didn’t grease any wheels?”Zora’s petty accusations finally crossed the line, and even Justin couldn’t stay quiet anymore.He and Caitlin had poured their hearts into this competition. It was exhausting enough to prepare, and now someone was accusing them of cheating?Many in the audience started to feel Zora was being unreasonable.Wendy and Molly exchanged looks—what was wrong with this woman? She lost. Fair and square. Why couldn’t she just admit it?Sebastian had heard enough. Zora’s constant attacks on Caitlin were clearly coming from a place of bitterness. He whispered to Tyler to bring someone i

  • Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her   518: She Refuses to Accept the Result

    “If you hadn’t tampered with the results, how could I possibly be in third place?”Zora finally voiced her dissatisfaction. Caitlin gave her a faint smile and responded, “Do you think every judge scores like you do—based on favoritism? Today’s judging was purely about the design. The audience isn’t blind, and neither are the judges.”Her words weren’t polite, and the implication was clear: just because Zora had manipulated the scores at the piano competition didn’t mean everyone else did too.“Oh, right. You say it was about design. But what about that second-place designer? In what world does his work deserve to outrank mine? My designs are clearly superior in every aspect. Unless you bribed the judges, how else would you and that guy land first and second?”Zora wasn’t giving up.Onstage, to the audie

  • Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her   517: It’s Only Natural to Give Your All in a Competition

    The more Zora watched, the more anxious she became.Caitlin’s collection featured a seamless blend of whites and blues. What truly caught the eye was the uniqueness of each design—delicate embroidery in silver thread added just enough detail without overwhelming the minimalist elegance.In a desperate move to sabotage Caitlin’s chances of winning, Zora poured water from her bottle onto the runway as a model passed nearby, using the misty atmosphere as cover. A wet runway would become dangerously slick, increasing the risk of a model slipping.But once again, her plan failed.Every model passed over that section with perfect poise—no slips, no faltering steps.Zora clenched her fists in frustration. Not a single stumble?She had counted on a disaster, yet the models only seemed more graceful.What Zora

    Zora's hand froze mid-air. She turned her head and was stunned to see who had grabbed her wrist—it was none other than Thomas.Her expression shifted quickly as she pulled her hand back and forced a smile. “Mr. Quick! I didn’t know you’d be coming!”Thomas held a bouquet of flowers in one hand, his voice cool and even. “If I didn’t come, how else would I witness such a lovely scene? Quite the temper, Miss Harris.”“Heh... no, no, it’s just a misunderstanding. I was just trying to give the models some direction. They didn’t follow instructions and made mistakes during the show…”Zora hurried to explain, trying to salvage her image. She then looked at the flowers in his hand with feigned delight. “Oh—are those for me?”She reached out for them, but Thomas didn't hand them over. “T
