Savage Reborn: Dumped Him to Marry the Billionaire Chapter 41
The air conditioning in the Thorne Enterprises boardroom was set to sixty-eight degrees, but Lysander Thorne was sweating through his shirt."We are delisted, Lysander! Delisted!"Mr. Henderson, the oldest member of the board, slammed his fist onto the polished mahogany table."The stock is trading at eighty cents over the counter! The factory is a pile of ash! The insurance company has flagged us for fraud! We are bleeding out!"Lysander stood at the head of the table, his hands gripping the back of the Chairman’s leather chair—the chair his father had sat in, the chair he had inherited. He looked haggard. His eyes were bloodshot, his hair unkempt."Calm down!" Lysander shouted, his voice cracking. "I have it under control. The heavy trading volume this morning... someone is buying up the outstanding shares. It’s a White Knight.""Who?" a female board member demanded. "Who would buy a burning building?""A foreign investor," Lysander lied, though he half-believed it himself. "I have
Savage Reborn: Dumped Him to Marry the Billionaire Chapter 40
The fever had broken, leaving Vespera feeling hollowed out but lucid.She lay on the velvet sofa in the living room of the Fortress, wrapped in a cashmere throw. The sun had set, and the city lights of Neo-Veridia were beginning to twinkle outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.Cyprian had finally been convinced to go to his study to take a conference call, leaving Oryn to stand guard.The room was quiet. The only sound was the soft hum of the HVAC system.Then, the massive television on the wall changed.The muted 24-hour news cycle cut away from a weather report. A red banner flashed across the bottom of the screen: BREAKING NEWS.Oryn, sensing the shift, pointed the remote and unmuted the volume.The sound of sirens filled the living room."...live from the industrial district where a massive blaze has engulfed the primary manufacturing facility of Thorne Enterprises."Vespera sat up slowly, clutching the blanket to her chest.On the screen, the night sky was choked with thick, blac

The darkness was different this time.It wasn't the void of death. It wasn't the cold, wet asphalt of the street where she had died in her first life.It was soft. It smelled of lavender and cedar.The first thing Vespera felt was a distinct, soothing chill against her burning forehead.She moaned softly, trying to turn her head away from the cold."Easy," a voice murmured from the shadows. "Don't move. You're still running a fever."Vespera peeled her eyes open. Her eyelids felt heavy, like they were weighted with lead.The room was dim, illuminated only by the amber glow of a single nightlight plugged into the wall near the door. She recognized the ceiling—the high, vaulted shadows of the Master Suite in the Hale Fortress.She shifted, and the cool cloth on her forehead slid slightly.A hand reached out to adjust it. A large, rough hand that she knew.Vespera turned her head.Cyprian was sitting in a wingback chair pulled right up to the edge of the bed. He looked nothing like the c

The double doors of St. Jude’s Hospital slid open.Vespera stepped out into the cool afternoon air, expecting relief. Instead, she was hit by a wall of noise."There she is!" "Vespera! Vespera!" "Mrs. Hale, how does it feel to be vindicated?"The paparazzi had multiplied. They swarmed the hospital entrance, a chaotic sea of cameras and microphones. But the tone had shifted. They weren't shouting accusations anymore. They were chanting her name like a mantra.Queen Vespera. The Victim. The Survivor.It was the victory lap she had orchestrated. She should be smiling. She should be basking in the destruction of the Thorne dynasty.But as Vespera took a step forward, the ground felt... soft. Spongy. Like walking on a mattress.She blinked. The flashbulbs popping around her didn't look like cameras. They looked like headlights. Blinding, strobe-light beams cutting through the darkness.Screech.A car braked hard nearby—likely a taxi dropping someone off.To Vespera’s ears, the sound warped

Vane Strategy Headquarters. 15:00 PM.Vespera sat in her ergonomic chair, watching the upload progress bar on her main monitor.UPLOADING: 98%..."Are you sure?" Cyprian asked from the doorway. He was leaning against the frame, watching her with that familiar mix of awe and concern. "Once you release medical records, you cross a line. Privacy laws...""Privacy laws protect patients," Vespera corrected, her finger hovering over the mouse. "They don't protect criminals who fake medical conditions to frame people for murder."She looked at the file she had prepared.It contained everything. The hacked server logs from Elara’s gynecologist. The real ultrasound scans from yesterday (empty uterus). The receipts for the "Prosthetic Bump - Trimester 2" purchased from a theatrical supply store in London."She tried to send me to prison, Cyprian," Vespera said, her voice devoid of emotion. "She threw herself down a flight of stairs to convince the world I killed a baby. I’m not ruining her priv

The VIP waiting room at St. Jude’s Hospital was supposed to be a place of quiet reflection. Currently, it sounded like a slaughterhouse."You killed him! You killed my grandson!"Mrs. Thorne was shrieking. She was slumped in a beige armchair, clutching a handkerchief, her face a mask of blotchy red fury."He hadn't even taken his first breath!" she wailed, pointing a shaking finger at Vespera. "And you shoved his mother down the stairs because you're jealous! You're a barren, hateful witch!"Lysander paced the room like a caged animal. He still wore the tuxedo pants from the night before, now wrinkled and stained. He looked manic."The police are on their way up," Lysander spat, glaring at Vespera. "Witnesses saw it, Vespera. Fifty people saw you standing over her. You're going to prison for double homicide if that baby dies."Vespera stood near the door, leaning against the wall. She hadn't sat down. She hadn't taken off her sunglasses. Beside her, Cyprian stood with his arms crossed
