Chapter 9

ผู้เขียน: Corn 88
Three days later, a meeting was held at Harper Corporation.

Despite the scandal, Irene managed to secure her release on bail. She sat at the head of the conference table, her head wrapped in bandages.

It was an emergency board meeting.

She was prepared to sell off all of Harper Corporation's assets if that was what it took to spare Zane from being convicted.

She still believed that Zane was the only child she had with her true love. He was her final hope.

Across the table, Elise slid a docu

  • Loved, Cherished, and Prepared for Dissection   Chapter 10

    Just because the Harpers were sent to prison didn't mean my revenge was done yet.Over the next six months, I used the shares I had to take over the Harpers' collapsing industries. At the same time, I founded a media company as well.I turned the Harpers' shocking scandal of harvesting their biological son's organs, raising another man's child as their heir, and a family destroying itself from within into an exclusive true-crime documentary and a hit serialized drama.They became global sensations that earned billions.The Harpers had once planned to use me as a living donor. Now, I turned them into an endless source of profit.One afternoon, I visited the maximum-security psychiatric hospital with a few documents in hand.In the visitation room, I looked at the four inhuman prisoners before me.They had been screaming at each other and fighting in their cells, blaming one another for everything that happened.However, the moment they saw me, they acted as though they saw their

He was her final hope.Across the table, Elise slid a document for asset transfer toward her.She adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and said gently, "Ms. Grant, once you sign this document, the funds can be moved overseas through unofficial channels. Mr. Zane will be provided for for the rest of his life. As long as he's alive, there's always a chance to start over."Tears welled up in Irene's eyes as she picked up the pen.Watching from outside the glass, I looked at the scarlet label hovering above the papers."Final Beneficiary: Elise Sawyer.""

    At 3:00 pm, I went to the detention center. Maya had been charged with attempted murder, yet she showed no remorse.When she saw me on the other side of the glass, she snatched up the phone and shouted into the receiver."Stephen! Are you happy now? You destroyed our family!"So what if Zane isn't a real Harper? So what if that fortune teller was a fraud? Zane donated his blood to me after I got into a car accident years ago! He saved my life!"She pointed to her right leg, which carried a slight limp."I owe my life to him! It's completely fair to use your life to repay that debt!"She had completely lost it. She was just trying to justify her evil deeds.As long as she believed she owed Zane, she could rationalize that she was not a monster who tried to kill her own brother.Just then, the visitation room door opened.Zane's lawyer, Elise, walked in.She handed a quaint little bracelet through the opening and said, "Ms. Maya, Mr. Zane asked me to bring this to you. He said

    At 6:00 am, Michael had completely broken down inside the interrogation room at the police station.His hair was disheveled as he sat in the interrogation chair, yet he still desperately defended Zane."Officers, Zane is innocent! He can't go to jail!" He slammed his hands on the table. "Zane was born under a lucky star! He'll bring us endless fortune and glory! Stephen is the cursed child! It's only right that he gives his heart to Zane!"I stood outside the one-way mirror, watching the man inside who looked completely deranged.He would rather take the blame for murder than abandon his so-called lucky star.In the interrogation room next door, Irene had been summoned too.She was undergoing questioning for the tax investigation as the chairwoman of Harper Corporation.While the officers exchanged documents, she passed by Michael's interrogation room.She had to prevent him from saying anything reckless and dragging her into the drugging case. So, she reached through the bars

    It was 2:00 am in the VIP ward of the private hospital owned by the Harper family.Police officers stood guard at both ends of the corridor. However, Irene used her connections to arrange for bodyguards to surround the ward's entrance. They had a brief opportunity to be alone.Inside the room, Zane lay on the hospital bed. An oxygen mask was strapped to his face as he pretended to be unconscious.A debt worth three billion dollars was enough to bankrupt the family.If Zane was arrested, the trail would lead back to Irene and Maya. None of them would be able to escape.They had run out of options.Irene shot Michael a fierce look.Michael instantly understood. He went to the water dispenser and filled a glass of water. The entire time, he had his back turned on me.His hands trembled as he held the glass and approached me. Griefstricken pain was etched on his face as he told me, "Stephen, Zane isn't going to make it. The doctor said he won't survive the night."He held the glas

    The entire ballroom fell silent. All eyes were on me.I looked at Irene, Michael, and Maya. Finally, I turned to Zane. He stood among the crowd, his expression filled with anticipation.My lips curled into a sneer as I flicked my wrist. The champagne splashed across the contract, soaking it."Stephen Harper! Have you gone mad?" Maya shrieked.She reached out to grab my arm. At that moment, the doors were suddenly thrown open."Police! Nobody move!"A team from the Financial Crimes Unit and armed police officers stormed in.The music stopped. The guests screamed and scrambled back, retreating to the corners of the room.Irene froze for an instant.When she recognized the officers' uniform, her expression immediately lit up. She thought that Elise had succeeded, and the police were here to arrest me.Her expression instantly shifted into one of devastation. Pointing at me, she shouted, "Officers! You're just in time! The person responsible for the tax fraud is him! He signed th
