MasukAs a bonus, Rhett had even brought Haley’s favorite grape cake. However, he had just purchased a hundred more servings and had the bakery send them directly to the female employees of Ty Group, keeping all staff in mind. He strolled toward the company's entrance while holding the cake. "Rhett!" He was ready to enter when someone called his name from behind. Rhett spun around and looked at the man for a short while. Then it dawned on him that this skinny, sun-kissed man was Kieran. In an instant, his eyes were icy. “You again, Kieran Colin.” With an excessively submissive tone, Kieran moved forward. “Don't get me wrong, man. I'm not here for Haley." Rhett gave him a blank stare. "And?" Kieran raised the fruit basket he was holding. “I dropped these off after a young woman from the workplace asked me to bring her some fruit,” "I've come to my senses," he continued. “I am aware that I am no longer suitable for Haley. I won't trouble her again as long as she's content.
After a moment of shock, Kitty’s thoughts went to a phone call she had received six months earlier. Could Eleanor have been the woman on the line, shattered and tortured beyond recognition? Her hands began to shake uncontrollably, and in that moment, a thought flashed across her head: if this was real, it was finally her chance to defeat Haley. The D’Souza would be furious if Haley had actually created a trap and delivered Eleanor to hell. With no chance of reconciliation, they would turn into the Kane' fiercest adversaries. Without a doubt, that would put Haley at the bottom of the Kane heir competition. Her reputation would be ruined if the allegations persisted and everyone thought she was capable of such a heinous deed. Her name would be spat on by Vest city’s elite. At that point, even Rhett would abandon her. What is the purpose of a marriage certificate? Haley would never enter the Fez Estate. She would never be in charge of the household if she didn't have a posit
Kitty scowled and let out a chilly chuckle. "Have to do? Haley, I see this for what it is—you just want to make yourself important in this family." Haley gave a headshake. "The Kane family has ample resources. That's not how I have to assert myself. However, Rhett and I are now married. Our interests are intertwined. We rise and fall together. He puts in a lot of effort operating a large firm and handling crisis after crisis. It is my responsibility as his wife to ease his burden and ensure that everything is in order at home. I'm not targeting you or anyone else in this family with what I'm doing right now. I'm just doing as a wife ought to." Kitty’s neck tensed. "Don't make yourself out to be some kind of saint." Haley looked her in the eye. "Mrs. Fez, after all these years married to Mr. Jason Fez, haven't you ever wanted to do something for this family or for your sons?" Kitty was unprepared. Her face became stern. "Everything is available to the Fez. What can I do?” Haley gr
Neither of them saw the automobile arrive at their apartment complex. A breeze dispersed cherry blossoms from the courtyard trees as they stepped outside, the petals falling like snowflakes across their shoulders. Haley stood on her tiptoes and instinctively leaned into Rhett as she reached up to remove a petal from his hair. He seized her, and they found themselves sharing a gentle, deep kiss beneath the falling flowers, the heat of something new blending with the easy closeness of long love. The surroundings vanished from view. Neither saw the eyes peering through the tinted window or the brand-new luxury vehicle parked close by. Building a new life in Africa had brought Kieran dangerously close to suicide. He had made roughly $6 million, which was sufficient to pay off his debts and leave him with about $1 million. He registered a new business, purchased a new vehicle, and located the tech partners who had collaborated with him from the start. They would return to the intern
Fabian spoke in a stern tone. "You've only indulged yourself over the years, Jason. And Kitty, since the day you married into this family, your focus has been on your own comfort and freedom. You've never worked yourself to the bone like Rhett, thinking about the future of this family. You spent your early years fighting with Jason all the time, and then you launched yourself into the life of a wealthy socialite. “You resented this family while happily enjoying every privilege it gave you. You don't compare to my wife or your grandmother-in-law as a wife, but I kept quiet out of respect for the three sons you brought into this family. You ought to examine your own actions,” Fabian looked across to the twins. "Roy, Riven, you spent your early years at school and were younger than Rhett. I never pushed you the way I pushed Rhett because I think grandparents shouldn't meddle in children's upbringing. But starting today, I want you to pay attention to Haley and Rhett. Become self-suffic
"I would like to call a family meeting with everyone. However, our parents haven't even had a formal meeting yet. If I intervened like this and began cutting costs, wouldn't it lead to animosity within your family?" Rhett took a while to respond. "I believe it's a good place to start. Let everyone see who the true head of the household is right away.” Still uncomfortable, Haley paused. "But won't this make things even worse between your mother and me?" He spoke in a steady tone. "It's preferable that she knows right away that you're not someone to bully if a conflict is unavoidable. I'll always have your back, so don't worry." "But she's your mother," Haley whispered. “Would we appear unfilial as a result of this?” After pausing, Rhett said, "We're considering the family's long-term future. Even the greatest wealth will run out if this kind of unrestrained spending persists. This must take place. Do not be scared. Take the necessary action.” Her confidence increased with his unw
Haley’s smile froze as she brought out a full pink princess dress. This outfit was obviously appropriate for Riley in terms of color, size, and style. Haley felt as though someone had squeezed her heart hard. Her heart began to race to its highest point as she locked her gaze on the outfit. "
Kieran took a long breath, suppressing the guilt that was eating away at him, and lay down next Haley."With the company expanding so quickly, work has been hectic. I haven't spent much time here, have I?” He spoke in a soft, quiet voice that sounded almost practiced. "How about we make that right?
Kieran came back by dusk with a dish of plain meals. "Haley," he asked placing it on the bedside table and standing with his back to her for a little before turning around, "did you really push Riley?" His voice was clearly irritated. Haley lowered her gaze. "Yes." His voice became harsher. "
Haley grinned bitterly. With her nails digging into her palms, her speech was hardly audible. "All right. Whatever you say.One thought crystallized in her thoughts with a terrifying clarity. Just few days.Few days. That's all that remains.You want the house? The man? The business? It'll be all y
