All Chapters of Redeemed by the billionaire: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Sophie stepped off a private rail at Geneva’s edge, dressed simply in black, a single leather bag in hand.Camellia waited at the gate.They didn’t hug.They didn’t speak.They just nodded — a pact between women who knew what it meant to carry ghosts and still keep walking.Sophie Burnett walked into the Phoenix atrium with the quiet gravity of a woman who’d been broken, rebuilt, and sharpened to precision. Her presence alone parted conversations and slowed footsteps.It had been weeks since the Civic Restoration Summit, and still the whispers of her return stirred more tension than celebration.Camellia waited at the elevator.“You didn’t call ahead,” she said, offering a knowing look.Sophie adjusted her coat collar. “Would’ve been mobbed. I wanted to arrive as a person. Not a symbol.”Camellia handed her a slim folder. “Briefing. There’s noise around the Radical Transparency initiative. And… around me.”“I heard,” Sophie said.Their eyes met—tight, fierce understanding.They entere

In Geneva, Rachel issued a lockdown of all third-party Phoenix APIs.“We’re sealing the perimeter,” she told Richard. “No new feeds. No mirrored syncs.”He nodded. “And internally?”“Every senior login now requires double-biometrics and real-time approval.”Richard exhaled. “Feels like we’re defending a sinking ship.”Rachel straightened.“No. We’re defending the survivors.”Back in Hong Kong, Isabelle watched her terminal flicker.“You’re sure about this?” one of her aides asked.“I was once a god in this system,” she said. “It’s time I live like a mortal again.”She picked up a flash drive and walked out of the building for the first time in months.Across social channels, sentiment was a warzone.One minute:“Sophie is a fraud. This proves it.” “Camellia knew all along.”The next:“None of this adds up. Why would Sophie leak her own scandals?” “Too many ‘leaks.’ This smells like AI-generated propaganda.”Then a file dropped.Not from Phoenix.From Isabelle.A mirrored command str

Sophie sat on the steps of the conservatory, sun on her face, laptop beside her, fingers curled around a glass of pomegranate juice. It was one of those rare hours where she wasn't a CEO, an heiress, or a tech figurehead.She was just a woman trying to catch her breath.Rachel stepped out from the hallway, a file in hand.Her face was unreadable.Sophie saw it immediately.“What is it?”Rachel handed it over. “It’s from the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague.”Sophie flipped open the envelope.At the top of the page: Notice of Summons – Witness TestimonyBelow: Ethan Crawford v. International Consortium of JusticeShe blinked twice. “They’re pulling me in.”Rachel nodded. “You’re listed as the key public whistleblower and platform owner during the Echo disinformation breach.”“And?”“And you’ll be testifying against Ethan. In front of the world.”In the newly polished Phoenix control room, Camellia scanned MirrorGhost’s audit trail. New user dashboards were stable. Activity

Sophie stepped into the marble hall just as the double courtroom doors opened.Reporters flanked the press corridor.Cameras flashed.Her heart thundered — not from fear, but from truth.Because no matter what the world had been told...Today, she would speak.And she would not be silenced.The chamber echoed with silence as Sophie stepped toward the witness stand. Marble pillars lined the courtroom, and a world of cameras and whispers watched her every move from behind reinforced glass.She placed her hand on the oath pad, then sat.Judge Helena Morr cleared her throat. “State your full name and position.”“Sophie Burnett. CEO of the Phoenix Initiative.”“Ms. Burnett,” Morr continued, “you are here to testify in the case of The People vs. Ethan Crawford. You understand that your statements today will become public record?”“I do.”“And you are not accompanied by legal counsel?”“I speak for myself,” Sophie replied, her voice steady. “No one else will carry this.”Camellia burst into

The sky was awash with lavender and gold when Sophie stepped out onto the balcony. She wore a navy robe and carried her tablet tucked beneath one arm.Today wasn’t about survival.It was about stepping forward.Her tribunal testimony had made global headlines. Phoenix’s MirrorGhost system was trending as one of the most transparent data ecosystems ever built.But something in her felt... hesitant.Alexander appeared in the doorway, hair tousled, coffee in hand.“You’re up early,” he said.“Big day,” she murmured.He moved beside her. “You nervous?”“Not nervous. Just aware. Every time I speak now, it isn’t just about Phoenix. It’s about me. My voice, my choices. My past.”Alexander touched her hand gently. “Then let them hear the real version of you.”The room was modern and glass-walled, suspended high above the city skyline.Delegates from 60+ nations. CEOs. Lawmakers. Activists. Hackers-turned-auditors. Even Camellia’s face was being broadcast on the large screens behind Sophie.Ra
