Chapter 4

작가: Four Seasons
Henley looked awkward. "Suri, I know you're still mad about the black card I gave Kiara that day. I get it—you're short on money now. I'm giving you one. Stop making a scene."

Five years ago, on our engagement day, he said he had a surprise.

I waited all day.

What I got? A shared wallet invite. Daily limit—twenty bucks.

At the same time, Kiara posted:

"Thanks for the black card, Henley. Time to travel the world!"

That's when my heart went cold. I called off the engagement and joined a classified agency.

I don't care about any of that anymore. Looking at Henley now? Just disgust.

My silence only pissed Kiara off more. "You're really asking for it. Mr. Chatham's being nice, offering you a black card, and you still act like this? Believe it or not, I can have your trash car wrecked in minutes!"

I didn't bite. Not worth it.

Out of basic decency, I gave her one last warning. "Go ahead. Just make sure you can handle what comes next."

Kiara didn't care—if anything, she got more hyped. "Anyone here willing to smash this junk car? I'll pay a thousand each!"

Someone lit up. "Wait—seriously? That kind of deal?"

They grabbed whatever they could and rushed in.

Someone muttered from the crowd, "This feels off. She sounds way too confident. Maybe she's got backing."

Kiara shot them a look. "What, scared? Then get lost. Don't stand in my way. She's a nobody—no parents, no backup. Even if something happens, the Chatham family's got you."

That did it.

More people surged forward. Total chaos.

Someone even dragged over a shovel.

"Use something heavy! I don't buy that this junk won't break!"

"Yeah! Smash it! It's just a car!"

Of course it wouldn't break.

I'd already said it—this wasn't some regular Crownell.

If bullets couldn't punch through it, what were a few tools gonna do?

I just stood off to the side, watching them dig their own graves.

Then, inside the car, a small indicator light blinked on.

I knew they were done.

Kiara kept yelling, hyped out of her mind. "Smash it! Harder! Whoever wrecks it gets ten grand!"

Then—deep rumbles rolled in from the distance.

Someone shouted, "Oh my God—what is that?"

Everyone turned.

About twenty tanks were rolling straight toward us, the ground shaking under them.

    Leaning on his cane, Robert came over in person. "Ms. Selwyn, this was our fault from start to finish. For the sake of what we had, please spare us."Commander Luther pulled over a chair. I sat."Spare you?" I looked at him. "When your assistant cut the line and had people smash my car, did you think about sparing me? If it were someone else today, wouldn't they have been bullied to death by your people?"His face drained.The man who'd stood tall his whole life bent. "I failed raising my grandson and ended up with a blind fool. I'll give you fifty percent of Chatham Corp. Let us go."A businessman to the core. Everything came down to money.Still, he was way sharper than Henley. No wonder he built the company.I rubbed my arm. "Your shares? Not interested."I'd seen plenty of powerful families over the years.The Chathams? Barely worth noting."Then what do you want? Name it. If it's within my power, I'll do it."He really was going all in.I glanced at Henley and Kiara, b

  • The CEO Babied the Wrong Woman   Chapter 9

    Henley stared at his grandfather like he didn't recognize him. His expression faltered."You're kicking me out for her? Grandpa, did she mess with your head? Apologize? Why would I apologize to her? Did you forget she caused Raina's death? If it weren't for her, Raina wouldn't have died! I'd rather die than apologize!"Even Robert, who'd seen it all, flinched. He waved his assistant over."You said she caused Raina's death, right? Fine. Watch this. The Raina you've been hung up on? Not dead. I thought by now you'd know how to read people. Instead, you got played by a woman. You've truly disappointed me."Henley's hand shook as he took the phone."What? Raina's not dead? So everything before was a lie? No way..."The video played. His face went dark.He replayed it. Again. And again.Raina's voice spilled from the screen, cold and ugly. "Why does Suri get to leave the settlement and end up with someone that good? I'll wreck it myself."I told Henley I saved him—he bought it. Gu

    Fast footsteps closed in. Robert Chatham rushed over."Ms. Selwyn, please—give the Chatham family another chance!"No pause. He swung and slapped Henley Chatham across the face."Go apologize. Now."Henley froze, staring. "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? This is Hawthorne Bay. So what if her status is high? She wouldn't dare touch us here. We don't need to be scared of her."Robert's hands shook. He slapped him again. "You disgrace. You absolute idiot. How did this family end up with you? Do you still not get it? I let your nonsense slide before—not this time. Keep this up and you'll drag all of us down with you."He turned to the crowd. "Spread it. I, Robert Chatham, will publicly apologize to Suri Selwyn in the paper. Anyone who buys that issue gets a hundred dollars from me."The crowd erupted."What? Has Robert Chatham lost it? Isn't this just him throwing his pride on the ground for everyone to stomp on?"Guess Henley Chatham still couldn't wrap his head around it. Someth

    That got my attention.I wanted to see who thought they could stand against me.I waved it off. "Hold the cuffs. Let's see this 'superior' of his."A red Ferrari pulled up right in front of me.I frowned.What kind of military officer rolls up in a bright red Ferrari?The window slid down. He looked me over with pure contempt. "You're Suri? The one who hit Mr. Chatham's car? Here's some advice—pay up and get out of this city. Otherwise, don't blame me when I stop holding back."Commander Luther stepped in front of me. "Oh? Not holding back... against who?"The guy was about to fire back—then he saw Commander Luther's face and froze.Didn't even hesitate. Jumped out, rushed over, hand already out. "Commander Luther—what are you doing here? I'm Lance Randall. We've met."Commander Luther gave a faint smile. "Have we? Funny—that's not the tone you had with Ms. Selwyn."Lance turned to me and smacked himself, hard. "Ms. Selwyn, I didn't recognize you. My mistake. Please forgive

    I really didn't know what to say. Even now, he still wouldn't believe it.Kiara thought she had me. She stepped in, seething. "You little bitch—you set this whole thing up with them. I'll beat you to death!"She swung.I caught her wrist midair."This it?" I tilted my head. "Go on. Hit me. Weren't you so tough?"She twisted, trying to pull free.Didn't work. I didn't let go."Still got more to say?" I glanced at both of them. "Believe it or don't. Not my problem."Kiara froze. Henley just stared, like his brain short-circuited.I didn't stop. "Commander Luther—detain them. You think I'm fake? The car's fake? Then you can learn the hard way what happens when you cross me."The second I finished, Commander Luther gave the signal.His men closed in on Henley and Kiara.Just as the cuffs were about to click shut, Henley spoke."Suri, if you're gonna be heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless." His voice turned sharp. "I'm warning you—I'm the sole heir of the Chatham famil

    "Tanks?!"Everyone just stared, frozen."I've seen those in a military parade! That's top-tier—there are only fifty in all of Norleigh! Last time they showed up was when the president got attacked!"Someone sucked in a breath. "Wait—then why are they here?"The doors flew open. Special forces poured out, guns up. In seconds, the whole place was locked down.Kiara froze—face drained. "O-Officer, we didn't do anything illegal. Why are you here...?"All that attitude? Gone.Commander Luther didn't even look at her. His eyes went straight to the Crownell—and tightened."Stop! Who told you to smash that car?" His voice cut through everything. "If anything happens to it, you might not even walk away alive!"A few of the bigger guys froze up completely. One straight-up dropped to his knees."Sir, it was her! She told us to do it. Please—have mercy. Let us go!""Yeah! She offered a thousand per hit! We had no choice!""She's Henley Chatham's assistant—we couldn't say no!"Only the
