Gemma laughed out loud and said, “I don’t mean anything, Mrs Phillips. I am just thinking aloud. I am reminded of my best friend, Zara Pearson’s eyes, which are similar to yours. Payton pursued her for a long time to no avail.”

Karen looked at Gemma with a confused expression and replied, “If I am not mistaken, Zara pursued Payton because of a bet. Why are you twisting the facts, Gemma?”

Gemma shot Karen a cold glare and said, “It’s been a long time, I forgot.” Karen smiled at Rain and said, “Za

    Austin looked at Gia, his eyes burning with the knowledge of the video clip she had sent, and said, “Miss Gia, you broke my sister’s body and used the footage to stop my father’s heart.Now, get out of my sight before I show the media exactly what kind of support you and Mr Jungle provide.” Then he got into his car and drove away.Gia refused to back down; she walked towards the door and knocked. Butler Greg ushered her to the living room.She took the grieving Mrs Pearson’s hands, her expression one of pained sincerity, and said, "Mrs Pearson, Mr Jungle has been like a brother to your husband.He is heartbroken at the thought of not being able to pay his final respects. Please allow us to attend Mr Pearson’s funeral service.”Mrs Pearson patted Gia’s hand, her eyes glistening with misplaced gratitude. A wave of profound relief washed over her; she had been terrified that Mr Jungle would seek retribution after she rejected his financial backing for her son’s business venture.Deeply m

    Austin took a deep breath, his gaze steady as he looked into the camera lenses and said, his voice thick with emotion, “On behalf of my mother and myself, I would like to thank the public for the overwhelming support and kindness you have shown us during this impossible time.Your messages and your respect for our privacy have been a source of great strength.My father spent his life as a philanthropist trying to help this community, and seeing that love returned to us now is the greatest tribute he could have received.”As Austin spoke, the live stream’s comment section erupted with heart emojis and messages of support, with netizens rallying behind him.The typical frenzy of the press corps vanished, replaced by a stunned silence; the scandalous headline they had come for was eclipsed by a raw, undeniable moment of human grief.He paused, taking a slow sip of water before addressing the media again, and he stated, his voice heavy with finality, " I am here to announce that we will be

    The news of Mr Pearson’s death hit Mr Jungle like a physical blow. In a blind rage, he cleared his desk with a single, violent sweep, sending everything crashing to the floor.He looked at Gia with icy cold eyes and asked, his voice dropping to a deadly whisper, “Didn’t you promise me that when Mr Pearson saw the video clip of his daughter covered in blood, he would finally let his son start that business venture?”Gia stood frozen; she opened and closed her mouth, but nothing came forth. The plan had mutated into a nightmare she hadn’t foreseen.Mr Jungle’s gaze was as if he intended to tear Gia apart, and he hissed, his voice trembling with suppressed rage, "Get out of my sight. Go to the Pearson family to offer our deepest condolences.Give them whatever support they need. Ensure that Mr Pearson’s son starts his business venture the moment the funeral is over, or you'll be the next one we are mourning.”Fifteen minutes later, Gia pulled into the Pearson family driveway, her heart ha

    Rain looked at her brother, her eyes narrowing with a sudden, sharp clarity, and she said, “Big Brother, it's obvious this wasn't an accident, but it was revenge. Mrs Phillips and Miss Becky made sure she paid for what she had done.”Maddox walked towards the balcony, then he pulled Rain into a tight embrace and said, “I know Zara’s death doesn’t change anything, my dearest Rain.It won’t bring my Godson back, but I am glad that she is gone. She finally got what she deserved.”Rain buried her face in Maddox’s chest, waiting for the surge of triumph she had always imagined. She murmured, her voice almost lost to the wind, “I thought I would be happy.I thought hearing she was gone would feel like a victory. But there is no ripple in my heart, Maddox. There is no satisfaction. The hate was so loud for so long that I thought its absence would be beautiful. However, it just feels like nothing.”In South Africa, someone leaked Zara’s video clip showing her being beaten up by her inmates. Th

    The news of Mr Pearson’s death sent shockwaves through the business community, leaving his former partners reeling. The tragedy was compounded by the revelation that his daughter, Zara, had passed away alongside him.Many in his inner circle had been holding out hope for his return, stubbornly convinced that the money laundering charges were nothing more than a calculated smear campaign designed to topple his empire.They viewed the legal battle as a personal vendetta rather than a criminal reality, and his sudden passing had turned their hope into a bitter sense of injustice.At the Carson family residence, the Carson elders were resting in the bedroom while the television was playing.Despite their long-standing distaste for the Pearson family’s unethical business practices, the Carson elders were genuinely stunned by the news.It was one thing to root for the downfall of a corrupt competitor, but the sheer finality of Mr Pearson dying alongside his daughter, Zara, was a level of tra
