"Ugh..." Cecilia groaned as she felt a splitting headache as soon as she opened her eyes.

Sun rays seeped through the curtains of the spacious hotel room. Her whole body ached so much that lifting her hands hurt.

She could feel a heavy arm resting on her waist.

'It was a man's arm!' She thought, panicking about what had happened.

But she noticed that the arm is not fat and hairy but muscular.

She breathed a sigh of relief. 'At least he's not fat and old...'

She turned around, only to see a

    Rui Yoon-Eno paced around the room, holding a detailed document about the drug that caused the student's death. "CE Pharma's head researcher is Cecilia Eldritch...""Such coincidences..."She was in disbelief; her hunch was correct after all. She will meet Cecilia here in London. "Detective Wu, did the CEO of CE Pharma confirm that she's going?"Detective Wu calmly sipped his coffee before nodding. "Yeah, she'll be here in 5 minutes, I believe."Rui sighed in relief. She quickly fished out her phone from her pocket before dialing her son's number.Ring...Ring...Ring...Ring...Ring... Ring...Her call remained unanswered. She anxiously tapped her feet as she prayed for her son to pick up her call."Eon... Pick it up..."Meanwhile, in Switzerland, a beautiful little girl handed a piece of candy to the man in a red sweater. "You wear red clothes now!" Celeste beamed as she nodded at Eon's outfit in approval. She held up a thumbs-up at him. "You look like me now!"Eon laughed heart

    "I've been trying to look for you.""I kept on wondering how that mafia family found our research facility in France. It was a highly confidential lab, and yet they ransacked our lab trying to look for my research.""So it was you all along."Cecilia pieced everything together. Collin and Elizabeth's strong connection. Elizabeth and Ellen's relationship with the heir of the Verra Mafia. Verra Mafia's brazen attempt to kidnap CE Pharma's head researcher and steal all the research materials was all because they had obtained reliable information from Collin. If not, they would continue with their old ways of stealing their products. However, with Collin's help, they set their sights on the person who can give them more than what they have.And that can only be the head researcher and CEO, Cecilia Eldritch. "Did you think that getting rid of me would open up a new position in the company?""All of you were aware that I am also the head researcher targeted by the Verra Mafia. So if th

    Stunned, Collin collapsed on his chair. He couldn't bring himself to utter a single word. His eyes were fixed on the cold woman who accepted the documents from Secretary Jennifer. It was as if the world as he knew it shattered in the blink of an eye. "Eldritch... She can't be..." He muttered in disbelief. He did not want to believe that the person before him was the famed "Runaway Heiress" of the Eldritch Family. Collin's senior in university, Elizabeth Miller, has been trying to find this step-niece of hers, but to no avail. And now, Cecilia Eldritch appeared because of the overdose case linked to their product.If she were the CEO, then her presence would be important in solving this crisis.

    Cecilia and Jennifer arrived early in the morning at the CE Pharmaceuticals headquarters in London. As soon as the plane landed, she just took a quick nap before immediately going to the company. All hands were on deck because of this case that exploded out of nowhere. Just as soon as the news came out, a lot of their customers have been calling their customer service lines inquiring about the safety of their drugs. Even their social media did not escape the flurry of negative comments. It's not that this case is new to the company. There have been many instances where their products were being abused and people will sue them for it. Her legal team has sufficient experience to handle the matter at hand. The only thing that makes it complicated is the involvement of the international student from Centriona. His father was adamant in not letting anyone escape from taking responsibility—not even the drug manufacturer. Due to past mishaps involving various clients suing them, Cecilia ti

    “Lia, we have received reports from the headquarters that police were investigating a crime involving our product.”“The missing batches of oxycodone, morphine, and tramadol have been found in a warehouse in Hackney. According to the police, there are multiple people who overdosed on our products.”“They’re asking you to assist with the investigation.”Cecilia’s temples throbbed upon hearing this unfortunate news. Just a week after the messy encounter with Ellen in Monaco, she thought she could relax and spend more time with her daughter. However, there is now an urgent investigation in London that she needs to address. It’s not a good thing if the police are involved in their business.And as if sensing Cecilia’s next question, Jennifer continued, “One of the people who overdosed was a rich international student in King’s College. His father is a senator in Centriona, and he has asked one of the world's top forensic pathologists to help investigate this case. So, unfortunately, this

    Ellen drifted around Monte Carlo in a daze. 'Why...''Why can't I control Cecilia anymore...?'She wholeheartedly believed that she could still trick Cecilia with the same old tricks. When Cecilia's family died, she was completely dependent on Ellen. She followed her words as if they were the law. She never once heard Cecilia turn her down. Back when they were in high school, she turned everyone against Cecilia with the same trick. As long as she acted weak and pitiful, people would side with her and shun Cecilia. So then, she would swoop in and defend Cecilia, earning both Cecilia's affection and respect from her classmates. It was easy. Even when they were working in the Eldritch Group, Cecilia would always give in to her demands. Otherwise, how else can Ellen secure an executive position while Cecilia works in a rank-and-file position? Everything was smooth sailing before. Ellen and Elizabeth were so used to controlling Cecilia that they forgot that she has her limits too. 'I
