LOGINKieran’s expression was one of shock as he froze. "Haley? Why are you here?” Then his eyes flickered with hope. He moved to the front. "I comprehend. The destruction of Colin Group was intolerable. You came to assist me.” He grabbed her hand. However, she withdrew. Her eyes were steady and serene. She remained silent. He was overcome with panic. A man behind her interrupted him before he could say anything. "This is Ms. Kane, our CEO, Mr. Colin. Be respectful.” Kieran returned to his senses. He didn't remember. The Kane Group supported JC. Haley was now in charge of its section in this city. He had always thought that she was the one who the made the deal with JC. However, it struck him like a physical blow to see her here, in this position of authority, facing him in this manner. Haley didn't even look at him. She passed him and took a seat in the chair he had occupied for many years. This workplace was filled with memories. He and she had both worked here. Here, It b
Kieran slapped Lydia several times, his anger blinding. He was pulled back by a nurse who hurried in. "Calm down, Mr. Colin. It's a hospital. I'll call security after one more outburst." Kieran composed himself and fixed his suit. He glanced down at Lydia, who was still crying on the ground. "Yesterday, I settled your bill. Think of it as philanthropy. You're on your own from now on. Don't get in touch with me again." He left. He was overcome with grief in a secluded place. He almost lost it. He gave himself a hard slap, recalling how he had once believed he could have it all—a steady wife at home, a mistress on the side. Before he could relax, he lit three cigarettes in a row with trembling hands. Two recognizable people came up to him as he turned to go. Haley and Rhett. Kieran’s thoughts became blank. He ducked into a corner after freezing. Talking softly, they strolled by with their arms entwined. He went unnoticed by both. Haley had been reluctant to attend. Rhett had pe
Julius was furious beyond belief. He lifted his hand to hit her once again. "What did you think? Coming up with such a stupid plan?Employing someone to entice Jason Fez? What sort of foolishness is that? "This have completely lost face in front of the Fez’s because of you. Rhett has already made plans to end our collaborations. You've only achieved catastrophe.” Eleanor shuddered and ducked into the hospital bed's corner. "I know I was mistaken, Father. I never thought Queen would betray me.” Morgana let out a deep sigh. "El, you're always too clever for your own good. Secrets don't remain hidden. Before acting, you ought to have thought about the repercussions. The Fez’s now have power over us in addition to being outraged by us." Eleanor’s fingers were helplessly twisting the bedsheet as she was overcome with regret. At that moment, she noticed Thomas at the door. Her complexion turned pallid. "Thomas! Why do you remain here?” He remained composed despite her frantic cues urgi
"You're a huge gamer? I'll play with you tonight." Thomas said, laughing. He took the perfume from her bag and turned it over in his palm. "A unique scent? It appears that you were ready.” Eleanor’s cheeks turned pale. Thomas quickly slid it out of her grasp when she attempted to reclaim it. "Using cheap tricks like this to win over the head of the Fez Group? Ambitious." His knuckles whitened and his eyes clouded. "But your ambition ends here." With a chilly smile, he took a little container out of his pocket and carefully opened it in front of her. "Perfume is insufficient. Let me assist you since you're so excited to play." Eleanor’s face became completely white as soon as she realized what was inside. "Thomas! No!" she cried out. “I’ll apologize, please! I'm not going to do that again." With icy eyes, Thomas gazed down at her. "I apologize. Sweety, it's too late. Your reputation finishes tonight." He brought the container up to her face. Her eyes narrowed in fear. She was
Haley covered her lips as she laughed at Rhett’s sincere, almost nervous expression. He automatically drew her in closer when he saw her teasing smile. He bent his head and gave her a passionate kiss. Theo knocked and pushed the door open, his face expressionless, just as Haley was losing herself in the moment. "Boss, about the next step—need your instruction." Like startled deer, Haley and Rhett leaped apart. Pretending nothing had happened, Haley swiftly turned to face the window. Rhett pulled himself together. "Proceed." Theo turned to go after giving a nod. Rhett said, "next time come in only after hearing my voice to come in.” Theo hesitated for a moment. "Understood sir.” The door closed with a click and Theo left. Curious, Haley turned around. "Next step?" With composure, Rhett grabbed the remote and switched on the television. Instead of entertainment, surveillance footage from a hotel suite was displayed on the TV. Haley was perplexed. "What's this?" Rhett said in
"I never thought someone so young could be so cunning. I believed you were stable and mature, yet you're this cunning behind my back." Kitty said again. Eleanor’s face turned pale, then flushed. She was unable to protect herself. “It's not true what she said, aunt. I—“ "Enough! The recordings are now taken by Rhett. We'll soon find out the truth." Suppressing her anger, Kitty swept away. "Haven't you embarrassed us enough?" Julius said, grabbing Eleanor’s arm and giving her a harsh slap across the face as she attempted to follow Kitty. "To believe that you would act in such a manner! How are we going to deal with the Fez’s now that we've offended them? They are essential to so many of our collaborations. You're worthless." With disappointed eyes, Julius heaved a heavy sigh, he swallowed his pride and walked over to Rhett. "My boy, about what just happened... there must be some misunderstanding..." Rhett spoke in a chilly tone. "Uncle Julius, I kept the tapes private out of co
Then Haley heard a voice she recognized. "I apologize, Lydia," Kieran murmured in a quiet, personal voice. "Haley’s appearance surprised me too. I'm sorry you had to deal with it.”Lydia has a beautiful, syrupy voice. "I'm accustomed to that by now, so it's okay. But Haley will be angry since you'v
With a fixed smile, Haley looked around before calmly focusing on Kieran. "You still weren't home," she remarked softly. "I wanted to check in. Are you finished now? You mentioned working late."Darling, perfect timing," Kieran blurted out. "Lydia recently closed a billion-dollar contract with the
In front of the Colin Group building, the vehicle came to a stop. A delivery man with a huge bouquet of red roses walked past her toward the door as Haley emerged. She instantly recognized the unusual wrapping—the pricey florist downtown, Kieran’s favorite. She walked behind the delivery man
“I’m at the Luffy restaurant. Can you come ma’am, there’s something important I need to discuss with you.” “Okay. Sure.” Haley ended the call. She stopped a car when she got outside and told the driver to take her to the Luffy restaurant. As soon as she got there, Haley saw the man seated an
