Mark paced outside the hospital room, his hands buried deep in his pockets. The sterile smell of disinfectant filled the air, mixing with the sharp tension that hung over him like a storm cloud. His mind replayed the argument with his mother over and over again, each word cutting deeper than the last.Michael stepped out of the room, his face drawn and tired. He rubbed his temples before glancing at Mark, who froze mid-step.“How is she?” Mark asked, his voice hoarse.“She’s stable,” Michael replied, though his tone was edged with exhaustion. “The doctor says it was a stress-induced episode. Her heart couldn’t take the strain.”Mark’s chest tightened. “I didn’t mean—”Michael raised his hand to cut him off. “Save it. This isn’t the time for excuses. She needs rest, not another fight.”Mark swallowed hard, guilt twisting his stomach. “I’ll apologise when she wakes up.”“You’d better,” Michael snapped. “But don’t think for a second that this is just about today. She’s been under constan

"Good morning," Mark whispered as his hands wrapped round Lily's waist. Chuckling, she melted into his warm embrace while flipping the pancakes."Good morning, feeling better?" She asked, and he hummed. Lily flipped the pancake onto a plate and set it on the table, her eyes flickering toward Mark as he leaned against the kitchen table, his arms crossed as he watched her move around the stove. “Here,” she said, sliding the plate toward him and joining him at the table. “Eat up."Mark chuckled lightly, cutting into the pancake with his fork. “Thanks, Lily. I needed this.”“You’re welcome,” she said softly, watching him as he took a bite. After a few moments of silence, she set her fork down. “So, are you going to tell me what’s really going on? I've never seen you like that, and it scared me." Mark’s hand paused midair, his grip tightening slightly around the fork. He sighed, setting it down and running a hand through his hair. “It’s nothing. Just...a minor stress from work. I’ll fi

Bryan pushed open the heavy oak door, and the two slipped inside silently. The office was magnificent, its elegance matching the rest of the estate.Dark mahogany furniture gleamed under the faint moonlight filtering through the tall windows, and the air smells faintly of aged books and old cigars.Lily’s gaze darted to the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf Bryan had mentioned. It spanned the entire back wall, filled with files, leather-bound volumes, and odd-looking arts and ceramics.“That’s it?” she whispered. Bryan nodded, already moving toward it. “The lock mechanism is hidden behind the third row from the top. Help me shift this ladder.”The two moved quickly; Bryan climbed up, feeling for the hidden panel behind the books. After a moment, there was a soft click, and a portion of the bookshelf slid aside, revealing a sleek metal door with a biometric scanner and keypad.Lily stepped forward, her heart skipping a beat as she took in the sight. “This... isn’t just any vault. It’s practi

"Father..." Bryan trailed off as he caught sight of the intimidating figure in the doorway. Grandpa Roux stood silently, his sharp eyes surveying the scene with an unnervingly calm expression. His hand rested casually in his pocket, but his presence was intimidating. “Bryan,” Grandpa Roux said, his tone cold and devoid of emotion. "What are you doing here?" Without waiting for an answer, his eyes shifted to Lily, scrutinising her as he raised a questioning brow.“And you are?”Lily hesitated, her mind blank and restless after being caught in the act. She forced herself to meet his gaze, masking her nerves with a confident smile. “Lily.""Lily? Lily who?" "Lily Turner," she replied, and the older man hummed. His eyes narrowed as he took in her appearance. "How are you acquainted with my son?" "I... Uhm... He employed me to open the vault. So I'm a hacker," she replied while pointing to the laptop. Grandpa Roux’s brow lifted slightly, his expression unreadable. “A hacker, you say

Frederick's finger tapped restlessly against the armrest, his clouded eyes narrowed towards the screen of the opened computer. He glared at Sinful's open chat, where he had sent multiple messages to the person in one week, with any one of them being replied to despite showing it had been delivered."This is annoying," he muttered as his finger hovered on the keyboard, trying to send another message.His eyes flickered towards the previous message and how desperate they all sounded. Gritting his teeth, he deleted them all and sent another.TechPronce: Hello. I was recommended to you by a friend. I am in need of your service. Money is not a problem, and you'll get as much room to work as possible. Please reply to me as soon as you get this.

"And what if I don't want to help?" Lily smirked, her eyes locked into his in a challenging stare. Taken aback, Grandpa Roux raised an amused brow at her daring attitude. He relaxed into his chair, his eyes never leaving hers as his lips curled up into a smirk. "You don't really have a choice. Don't forget you broke into my house." "I didn't break into your home, Mister Roux. I simply came in here for business, which your son employed me to do," she countered smugly. "And you will have no basis to charge me since I didn't take anything from your house. You, on the other hand," she paused. "Will get charged for detaining me here without my consent. So I'll advise you to think twice before you threaten me." “You’ve got spirit, I’ll give you that. But don’t mistake my patience for weakness, young lady.” Grandpa Roux replied as he leaned forward, his hands clasped together on the polished mahogany desk. “You’re not in a position to negotiate.”Bryan stepped closer to Lily, his stance

"Phew! That went well," Lily breathed out as she relaxed into the luxurious seat of the private jet. "And that adds to the fact that we got caught.""Yeah, you could say that," Bryan nodded. "He's never one to be chill about trespassing. I was surprised we weren't locked up in jail.""He would do that?" Lily asked with a raised brow, causing Bryan to smirk."During my teenage years, I lost count of how many times my father had me arrested." He chuckled. "I was always in and out of the police station that the police gave me a special room.""He's never one to tolerate misconduct," he added."I can imagine. After all, he disowned his daughter for going against him," she muttered and then breathed out a sigh.The two fell into a comfortable silence as the jet took off. Both lost in their thoughts.Lily closed her eyes, trying to get some sleep before she embraced the world of her revenge waiting for her at the end of the flight."What's your next move?" Bryan's cautious voice pulled her

"Breaking News"Lily watched as she took a sip of her freshly brewed tea. Seeing the channel was reporting the news she wanted, she picked up the remote and increased its volume.The screen displayed Arthur Grey’s face—handsome yet arrogant, with a cocky smirk that matched his reputation. The reporter’s voice filled the room, steady yet laced with intrigue."Breaking news tonight: Arthur Grey, president of the Grey Corporation, is under fire following shocking revelations about his alleged involvement in illicit activities.""Sources have claimed that Grey has been linked to trafficking and large-scale fraud schemes. This news comes as a shock to the corporate world, where Grey has long been considered a rising star."Lily leaned back into her chair, her lips curling into a small, satisfied smile.

Destroy It From The Inside Out"You know?" Lily muttered as she stood by the large window of her bedroom, looking down at the bustling city night. "I never really figured out how my mum was able to know I would be reborn." "I had hoped that gathering all her work in one place would provide me some answer. I thought she would leave an explanation behind," she said while swirling the wine in her hand. "With everything she left behind, she was sure I would be reborn as Lily Turner. Yet, I can't figure out how she know and how she did it." {...} The system remained silent as it listened to Lily's rant. "There has to be something I'm missing right? She's never one to leave me this confused and lost about anything," she continued. "I mean, since you are involved in this you should know better right?" {That was your goal from the beginning wasn't it?} The system asked with a knowing sigh. {You want to know how I came to be?}"Yes." {I already told you when we first met.

Lily sat at the dessert store, her fingers lightly drumming against the table as she stared out of the window. The bustling streets outside felt distant, a blur compared to the storm in her chest. The message from Mark replayed in her mind."Can we meet up?""I'm an idiot, I know, but we really need to talk."She had almost ignored it. Almost.She wanted to make him desperate, but somehow, she found herself picking the most sexy dress in her closet and dressing up to meet up with him.The sound of a chair scraping across the floor snapped her out of her thoughts. Mark stood there, hesitating, his usual confident demeanour replaced by uncertainty.“Hey,” he said softly.Lily didn’t respond immediately, her gaze steady and unreadable. “You’re late,” she said finally, her tone flat.“I know,” Mark admitted as he sat down. “Thank you for coming.”She crossed her arms, leaning back slightly. “What do you want, Mark?”"You didn't tell me anything; I found out through the news, and then you

"We received a tip from an anonymous sender," the news anchor announced. "Evidence of crimes committed by a certain family whose name has recently been on the internet where a certain banquet video was uploaded." "This evidence includes the cause of both Mabel and Victoria Hamilton's untimely deaths. As well as many other criminal cases that would ultimately lead to the downfall of the prestigious family." "At the same time, we got news that the leadership position of the corporation owned by this family has changed hands. For now, this particular news has not been confirmed." The following morning, chaos erupted. News outlets were flooded with breaking stories about Henry and Kate’s crimes. Social media exploded with outrage as videos and documents went viral. Law enforcement agencies were forced to respond, launching immediate investigations."Oh goodness! Why are all the big corporations and names getting exposed this year?""Is justice finally coming out into the open?! My moth

"It's turned on," Lily reported to Bryan over the phone as the other asked about the computer that was delivered to him. "And I've confirmed that it really was the one that has been sending those messages to Hamilton.""It's connected to that AI-powered robot in the vault." She continued. "And to top it off, all evidence of Henry's misdeeds was recorded in it. Including notes written by my mother." "Are they enough to send Henry out?" Bryan asked "Yes, and his wife too." Lily replied. "There are several videos of Kate poisoning my mother while she was still pretending to be a housekeeper. And also a clear video from my last moment as Victoria." Bryan's voice grew tense. "Lily, if we release this information, it won't just end Henry and Kate's hold on the Hamilton family. It could ruin Hamilton completely.""It won't," Lily breathed out. "At first I just wanted to ruin everything and get it over with, but now I want to cherish my mother's hard work and the legacy she left behind."

"Is that Mark's private car?" Lily asked with a frown as she watched the video gotten from the camera close to the factory address sent to her.{The plate number index matches that of Mark's private car. However, this video was made about three weeks ago.}Frowning, Lily replayed the video again. It was a car driving on a highway in the middle of the night. Seeing the date, she recalled she had a date with Mark that night and after he had hurried off. All through their time together, it was even more restless than usual. "Is this all you found?" {There is a similar video of him returning back to the city. But he hasn't gone back to the factory after that.}She jumped off her chair, got changed into a comfortable sweatshirt and pants, and a black sneaker. She picked a small hiking backpack from the closet and her wallet as she exited her apartment.{You are going to the factory?}"Yes," Lily replied calmly. "I at least need to figure out why they sent the note even if I don't know w

"Can you arrange a meeting with Annabelle Wilson?" As she sent the message, Bryan replied almost immediately. Lily glanced at Bryan's text and smirked. "De Ox tonight, between 8 PM and 9 PM. Perfect."She quickly tapped out a reply: Thanks. It's such perfect timing.Bryan: Need help?Lily: I'll be fine on my own. With her plan in motion, Lily pulled up the files containing Henry's promiscuity, one she had meticulously prepared for Henry’s misdeeds. Photos, text messages, and financial transactions—everything she needed to plant the seed of doubt in Annabelle’s mind was compiled neatly in a folder.At exactly 8:15, Lily walked into the dimly lit lounge, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor. She gave off an air of confidence, dressed in a sleek black dress that hinted at authority and poise. Her eyes scanned the room until they landed on Annabelle Wilson—a striking woman in her early forties, elegantly dressed in a champagne-coloured gown.Annabelle looked up as Lily a

"I think now is the perfect time to get the computer," Lily announced over the phone. "Given the news about his wife's scandal, Henry and William will be too busy to guard the company like a guard dog." "You want me to send people in there pretending to be electricians to retrieve the computer?" Bryan asked, and Lily hummed. "It will be a bit difficult for me to retrieve it at the moment." Lily replied. "Heard you've not been out of your apartment since the announcement. That's a week ago; that's unhealthy." Bryan sighed. "I'll come pick you up later today, and then we can discuss whatever your plans are." "There won't be a need for that," Lily gritted out as she worked away on her laptop. "I can't afford to be distracted right now.""Is this about Mark's engagement to Roseline?" Bryan asked, making Lily pause as her eyes narrowed at the screen of her laptop. "This has nothing to do with Mark or his engagement." She breathed out, massaging her forehead as she felt her eyes stingi
The Rebirth of a Scorned Heiress Chapter 177: Stay Away... Loser
Lily walked into the living room with an extra sway in her hips as she remembered the event from the previous night. A small smile played on her lips, feeling giddy and excited about the news from the previous night's banquet. She picked up the remote and turned on the TV while waiting for the news with a warm cup of tea in hand. However, instead of the scandal she was expecting, she was met with Mark and Roseline's red carpet photos. Frowning, she turned up the volume just in time for the reporter to announce:"Next on the line of news is Mark Watson, the newly appointed CEO of the Watson Group. The genius businessman has finally announced his engagement with Roseline Anderson, the popular A-list actress."Lily’s smile froze, the warmth from her tea doing little to quell the chill that spread through her chest. Her hand tightened around the cup as she stared at the screen, unable to believe what she was hearing.“Engaged?” She whispered, her voice shaky. “That’s not possible.”The
