Chapter 11

Author: Flowering Tree
I had been in Borusia for about a week, keeping up with occasional news from back home. Chester had shown up with a battered Giselle looking for me, and Felix had been locked away in confinement. Grandma was furious, calling Chester shameless and saying Felix got what he deserved.

I lowered my eyes and smiled, bringing her a cup of hot coffee. "Grandma, don't waste your energy on those scumbags."

Grandma gently stroked my head. "Miranda, you've suffered so much all these years. I'll make sure to take care of you properly."

Grandma had done so much for me already. After I came to Borusia, she noticed my passion for painting and set me up with several master artists as teachers.

I was thankful for all she had done, but Grandma went one step further, setting me up on a date.

"Time alone won't heal all your wounds," she said, tapping my shoulder lightly. "Sometimes meeting someone new helps more than anything else."

I finally met Lucian Shaw, the successor to Borusia's largest compa

    Declan's scheme against the Thorne family wasn't about profit—it was designed to force Lucian to inherit his family business. His mother had uncovered my identity and orchestrated the plan.Lucian held me on the couch, and for a long moment, neither of us spoke. Yet we both knew exactly what the other was thinking."Miranda, marry me," he said suddenly, declaring his choice.I watched his public declaration on the screen, feeling a bittersweet ache tighten in my chest.Suddenly, the door slammed open. Chester and Felix appeared once again.Felix gripped my left hand tightly and demanded, "What's going on? Your boyfriend is the one who pushed the Thorne family into this crisis. Miranda, why would you choose him instead of coming back to me?"Chester seized my right arm. "From a business standpoint, Lucian is trouble. He has ulterior motives. Mira, you're far too naive for him. Leave him and come back to me. This time, I will protect you forever."These were the same men who had o

    As soon as I returned from Valdoria, a wave of relief washed over me.When Chester first warned me, I was terrified. I had trained in art, not business, and knew nothing about competition. Fortunately, I had an elite team and a brilliant ally, the business genius Lucian.He didn't lecture me on business strategies. Instead, he analyzed Chester's psychology. I gathered every file from the past few years, and he pored over them day and night until he finally found a flaw. Several contracts had conflicting terms and amounts.After hearing his strategy, I couldn't help but remark, "No wonder your mother insisted you inherit the family business. You really were born for this."Lucian smiled and handed me an invitation. "Tomorrow is my mother's birthday. She wants to meet you."It was my first time attending as his girlfriend. The moment his mother saw me, she scrutinized me from head to toe. I felt uncomfortable under her gaze, but Lucian stepped in just in time, easing much of her sus

    We sat across from each other in the conference room, meeting as business partners for the first time.I was no longer the timid girl who once depended on Chester. I had become a composed and formidable businesswoman. I set the contract on the table and stated firmly, "The Thorne family is responsible, and we will share the losses."Chester froze, caught off guard by the Thorne family's swift agreement.In the next instant, I placed a lawyer's notice in front of him."However, our investigation shows that while Giselle was acting as your agent, you deliberately falsified contract terms and amounts to coerce her signature. "A board member once suspected something and came to Miller Group to confront you, only to be hit by a car three days later and left in a vegetative state. We reasonably suspect you committed premeditated murder to cover your tracks."When you publicly announce the Thorne family was involved in the scandal, this notice will also be released. Alongside it, the p

    Felix gripped his phone, frozen as if struck by lightning. Her words shattered the hope and joy he had just felt into dust.The pain was so overwhelming he could barely breathe. He grabbed a bottle of whiskey and poured it down his throat like he didn't care about his life. The burning alcohol scorched his throat, and the spilled liquid stung his wounds, yet he drank on, as if his soul had been ripped away.The sentence "Your love is more disgusting than your brother's manipulation" echoed in his mind like a curse.When he woke again, he was lying in a hospital bed. The doctor said he had nearly died from alcohol poisoning.Felix stared blankly at the ceiling before tearing out his IV."Discharge me. I'm going home."…Back in Valdoria, Chester was drowning in problems. The company's stock kept tumbling, their rival company had joined the competition, and the situation was getting critical. The other allied companies refused to help. Chester knew all too well that business was

    "Did you really have to beat each other up like that just to put on an act?" I took out the ointment and started applying it to Lucian's wounds.The truth was, Lucian and I were not a couple at all. Today was our first time meeting again since that night. He came to return the makeup I had left behind.He told me that his mother had drugged him that night, trying to set him up with a wealthy heiress from the Grayson family. Lucian was the third child in his family. He was exceptionally capable and had earned a PhD from Crestfield Business School before he was even 20 years old.His mother wanted him to inherit the family business, but Lucian refused. He was tired of family power struggles and only wanted a normal life. His mother would not let it go. She kept arranging political marriages, trying to bind him to the family through obligation.After hearing all that, I had little reaction. I knew all too well how brutal elite family infighting could be. What I didn't understand was w

  • My Boyfriend(s) Are Twins   Chapter 13

    Chester kicked open the office door, and the board members' faces fell."Felix always looked like the obedient type. How does he pull something like this? He even has shares in Miller Group. Why would he turn on us?""Don't think about his reasons. Just look at the damage! The project we've spent three years building got leaked by another company. All that investment, billions of dollars down the drain!""That's nothing. All the details of the building collapse we worked so hard to cover up are now in his hands. If the media finds out, the company could be ruined!"Chester frowned. He knew better than anyone what would happen if the scandal went public. Just as he was working out how to handle Felix, Lucy spoke up, "Mr. Chester, Mr. Felix said that if you agree to his terms, he won't release the documents to the media."The room buzzed with speculation. What could possibly be so important that Felix would betray the company for it? No one suspected it was just because of a woman t
