A headline shot to the top of the trending list hours later. [Remi Puth, the Web Group's business development manager, is in a scandal about financial crime]

The Web Group was trending for all the wrong reasons in only one afternoon. Mason’s stomach was in knots as he watched the narrative go from bad to worse. His phone was ringing off the hook with calls from the PR and legal teams. He ran inside Lacy’s office like his butt was on fire.

Lacy hardly looked up from the files in front of him, and his voice was calm. "What's got you all worked up? Is Remi still in jail, or did she find a means to get out?”

Mason pushed his phone into Lacy’s face. "Ms. Puth's arrest is all over the news! Now everyone is doubting every project she ever worked on.”

Lacy scowled, which was an obvious sign that he was upset. "What's Remi up to? Is she attempting to get back at us?”

Mason shook his head. "Mr. Web, the police got her. The police are probably still questioning her. She can't plan this kind

    Remi’s lips curled into a mocking smile. "Doesn't it hurt? You were so close to being married to her.” Lacy’s eyes were as cold and venomous as he gazed at her. "You know damn well why we didn't get together! You're the one to blame, but here you are, trying to blame others.” Remi laughed in a dry way. "Keep lying. But you know the truth deep within. Your mom wrecked your wedding plans long before we even hooked up!” She took a deep breath, and her voice was full of annoyance. "And now? I'm getting out of the way for you. Simply marry the person you love. I even got the public angry for you. What is stopping you? Don't tell me you're having second thoughts.”Lacy stopped moving. Those hashtags that are popular right now? He didn't think about losing Bernice at first. No, he couldn't believe how far Remi would go to get rid of him. He couldn't believe that she still only wanted to leave him. He said on purpose to get her angry, "I have loved Bernice for so many years. It's going to

    Remi leaned up close and spoke in a devious way. "Back then, you didn't like Bernice, and now you can't tolerate me. Why don't you marry Lacy if no one he marries ever makes you happy? You can keep your darling boy all to yourself forever, and I can get my divorce without having to look at your ugly face every day.”Vivian was ready for something serious, not this embarrassing jab. She was so angry that she shook, and her polished exterior fell apart as she raised her hand to hit Remi. "You rude young brat! Who told you you could talk to me like that? Someone like you wouldn't even be able to stand in front of me, let alone marry my son, if you hadn't shamelessly seduced him.”Remi flinched back, pretending to be scared for a second. That dodge made Vivian angry. She surged forward and slapped Remi hard, her face contorted with rage. A loud crack resonated, and red fingerprints appeared on Remi’s soft cheek. The servants who were close by stopped what they were doing. Remi’s ey

    Theo’s hard face softened when he heard her comments. "I've been a fool," he said, sounding sorry. "I couldn't keep my grandson in check. You must be in a lot of debt if you're resigning and getting a divorce. This check is my way of saying I'm sorry for being rude to you. Start a business, open a store, do whatever you want." She wasn't ready for his unexpected honesty. She looked at the huge number on the check and thought for a while. Theo pushed it into her hand. "Take this, and you're done with us. I'll tell everyone to stop looking at you. You will be free.”The study door suddenly opened. Lacy burst in, holding Ian in his arms. His expression was as dark as a thundercloud. "Well, Remi. You got your hands on that nice cheque, didn't you? He smiled. "That's pretty rich of you to call me out when you're just as bad. Who is the actual serpent in this marriage?”"Dad was right about you!" Ian pointed at her. "Gold digger! You don't deserve him! I don't like you as my mom!”Remi

    "Please do this for her. Look at the poor creature. She's bawling her eyes out after all the work she did to get rid of me. Don't you feel sorry for her?" Lacy took a big breath. "Don't say stupid things." "Everything I just said was true," Remi said, her voice steady. Lacy looked at her. His lady. The one he had always been in love with. But now she has changed? "How many times have I told you?" he growled. "I'm not letting you go off to some other jerk, that's for sure,” His eyes became very small. "You worked so hard to get me to marry you back then. Well, now? It won't be simple to leave." Remi looked him straight in the eye and didn't flinch. She yelled loudly before he could tighten his grip. "Bernice, it's not that I won't move. Lacy is the one who won't let me go! What do you think about this? Send me the money first, and I'll figure out the rest later." "Have you lost your mind?" Lacy blew up. "You know she's weak, yet you're still trying to get her to do this? I'll tak

    The doctor who was looking after Bernice was still here. Remi saw him and raised her chin to Lacy. "Don't buy it? You should ask him yourself.” "Well..." The doctor let out a sigh and shrugged. "ECT has worked for people with depression in the past. Helps some people get over trauma.”Lacy answered, "Let's do it then." Bernice woke up right on time, her eyes fluttering open. " "No!" Her voice broke, and tears filled her eyes. "I don't care if it hurts me. I want to remember how painful it was to lose my family forever!" "Really?" Remi smiled. "You can hear us?" "Bits and pieces..." Bernice choked between her sobs. Then she stared Remi straight in the eye, her eyes burning. "I know you don't like me, but this? Taking away my memories? Do you think that will hide what you did? I never wanted to blame you, but you know why I'm here!" You did this! And now you want to fry my brain to make me stop? That's just wrong!" Remi rolled her eyes and threw the medical report on Bernice’

    It was midnight on the 15th on the screen. Ian pushed the door open and left by himself. Remi had divided the screen of the monitor into two parts: the corridor on the left and her room on the right. She was already asleep on the bed.Ian pushed the call button on his kid's smartwatch. His voice was quiet but excited. "Ms. Green, I'm in my mother's room now. What's next? I should approve the transaction right? All right! Will you stay with me every day after I do this? Okay!" Remi couldn't hear Bernice’s side, but she could tell that she was helping this kid through it step by step. Ian tiptoed into her room after they hung up and took her phone from the bed. The camera saw him access that payment app by tapping on it. He pushed that "accept" button, and the time stamp matched the transfer records flawlessly. The crowd got quiet when that five-minute clip ended. Lacy seemed really confused. "Why did you get my son to run this scheme?" Bernice put her hands over her face and cried a
