Rhea's Pov

Three weeks later and although there were quite a lot of feedbacks from the police, nothing much had been found. It had been very quiet lately which was shocking.

It seemed like Ginny and Kevin had disappeared from the public eye. Rumors went around, but none stuck for long. I didn't know what they were planning together but whatever it was, I was still going to face it.

In the meantime, I had more pressing matters to deal with. Namely: the company.

And school.

Balancing both work and school was something else. I'd compare it to maybe walking on a tight rope while there was a shark infested ocean underneath me. Very scary.

At first, it had seemed simple enough. Show up. Be in charge, make smart decisions. Fire idiots. Impress investors. But reality laughed in my face. Running a business, especially one as large and entangled as Thorne International, was not for the weak.

Meetings, paperwork, staff changes, endless consultations with the legal and marketing

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 251

    Ginny's Pov My nails were raw. I couldn’t stop biting them until the metallic tang of blood threatened to bloom on my tongue. My chest rose and fell too quickly, a frantic rhythm I couldn’t control and the steady beeping from the monitor beside my bed only made it worse.Rhea’s words still echoed in my head, “You shouldn’t be shy about your sexcapades.” She knew about it. How? Did Kevin tell her? Was it Fiona who told her? If she knew about this, then does it mean she also knew that I was going to sign the company as collateral? I squeezed my eyes shut, shaking my head as though I could rattle the thought out. She’d refused to help me. Flat out, unapologetically, cruelly. And without her, how was I supposed to get the company back? The door burst open, and I flinched.Howard’s booming voice filled the corridor before he even stepped in, Rachel trailing behind him. They were both arguing heatedly with the doctor, their voices sharp enough to pierce through my fragile state.“There i

    Rhea's Pov I blinked at the sight, then let out a laugh. My laughter was so loud that it echoed even in the corridors. I had to double over with pain around my midsection because of how much I was laughing. It took me about two minutes for me to calm myself and even at that, it wasn't entirely possible as a few chuckles escaped here and there. “She really fainted? How dramatic. What is this? Some sort of play? How pathetic.” I tilted my head, my smile biting as I waved a hand lazily, “Quickly now, take her away before she embarrasses herself further. I’ve seen enough of her pitiful act.”Well, I actually didn't mind. I prayed that she would do something to stop me from actually bringing out my phone because I didn't have my phone on me! I just woke up when they came in so of course my phone wasn't with me and thankfully, Ginny didn't realise that. Rachel dropped to her knees beside Ginny, shaking her frantically, “Ginny! Ginny, wake up!” Her hands trembled as she turned to Howard,

    Rhea's Pov “Rhea!” Howard roared, veins popping out on his forehead and neck, his eyes were bloodshot, “Ginny is your sister!” “Sister? Mr Thorne, did you forget that you wanted to disown me a few days ago? How come I have a sister now?” I crossed my arms with a smile, and an extreme sense of satisfaction filling me up as I watched Ginny suffer. My eyes remained locked on him, drinking in every twitch of his furious face. And then it came back to me, crystal clear. A memory slipped in. Months ago, Howard was on his knees in my office, his voice hoarse, his pride cast aside. Begging and pleading. Asking me to help Ginny when she had gone to jail. I let out a laugh, bitter and soft, shaking my head, “Ah… yes. I remember now. You were in this exact same position before, weren’t you, Father? Bowing your head, swallowing your pride all to protect Ginny.”I leaned forward, my smile sharper now, my words deliberate, “What a pure love between father and daughter. Touching, really. But you

    Rhea's Pov Silence. For once, they had no words. Howard’s face twitched, his jaw going slack for a moment as if he hadn’t heard me right. Rachel’s hand, which had been reaching toward mine, recoiled midair, trembling. And Ginny, well, she blew up immediately. “You… What?” She choked, voice high and shaky, “You want them to disown me? You’re insane, Rhea!” I didn't look at her. I kept my eyes locked on Howard, the man who had so effortlessly discarded me when it was convenient, now wringing his hands like a merchant caught in a bad trade. “Well?” I asked softly, still smiling, “Is it really that hard, Father? You already said you'd do anything to get the company back.” Rachel opened her mouth to talk. It seems like she thought I was joking or something because there was a soft smile on her lips, and her tone changed to sound like a mother who was trying to tell her child that bad things could happen if that child didn't listen to her, “Rhea, this… This is something big. Why no

    Rhea's Pov Ginny sneered, her voice dripping with venom, “Do you think Alaric will protect you once the whole city knows what kind of woman you are? We’ll make sure every single person hears the truth, how you stabbed your own family in the back, how you schemed like a snake to destroy us. You’ll be ruined, Rhea. Your name will be mud. No one will want to be associated with you.”Rachel’s voice lowered, colder, more calculated, “You’ll lose everything. Your engagement, your reputation, your place in this family. You’ll be nothing but a shameful stain.”Howard leaned forward, pointing a trembling finger at me, his tone trembling with barely restrained fury.“You have one chance. Convince Alaric Vale to invest. Or we cut you off, Rhea. We’ll tear that smug face off its pedestal and grind you into the dirt where you belong.”The three of them glared at me, spitting poison and threats, circling me like hyenas desperate to devour flesh.And me? I only sat there, legs crossed, my fingers i

    Rhea's Pov My brows knit together. I stared at him, my head tilting slightly, trying to piece through his frantic rambling.“Investment?” I repeated softly, tasting the word like it was poison on my tongue, “You want me to help you get an investment from Alaric?” I repeated, trying to see if I heard wrongly. “Yes!” Howard jumped in, his voice gaining momentum the more he spoke, “Think about it. Alaric doesn’t even need to invest that much, his name alone will attract other investors. Banks will relax their restrictions, and a lot of things will get done. It’ll restore confidence in the market. You know how valuable that is, Rhea. You’ve always been smart enough to understand.”He continued, faster now, almost babbling. Ginny joined in, nodding furiously beside him, her voice sharp.“He’s right! Don’t waste this chance, Rhea. Do you think we’d come here if it wasn’t serious? Do you think we’d risk our dignity begging you in a hospital ward if the situation wasn’t dire? Alaric is your
