Semua Bab CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Rhea's POV The doors at the back of the hall swung open with a heavy thud, drawing every eye in the room. Kenneth, Lennox and Doyle were escorted inside, flanked by two security guards each. Gasps filled the air. They looked terrible. Since it's only been a few hours after I had subconsciously beaten them up at the hotel, they weren't all healed yet. It didn't help that Alaric also added a bit of suffering and pain into the mix. Their clothes were torn at the edges, and blood was crusted over one of their temples. Doyle had a limp, Kenneth had both arms cuffed behind his back and Lennox could barely lift his head. The moment they stepped foot into the hall, the silence cracked, reporters surged forward, their cameras flashing, questions flying from all directions. “Are these the men in the video?!” “Who sent you?!” “Why did you try to assault the future CEO of Thorne Group?!” The men flinched beneath the noise. They stumbled, then dropped to their knees as if their legs

Rhea’s POV“I promised to be your daughter’s date? Do you have proof of that?” Alaric threw Ginny’s words back at her, making her blush in embarrassment. She stepped forward, the corner of her lips twitching as she kept her eyes on him. Her hands reached out to hold his arm, “A… Alaric… You clearly said that I… Ack!” She winced when Alaric slapped her hands away and then stumbled into Rachel’s arms, tears gathering at the corner of her eyes. “I don’t know where you got the idea that I was going to be your date to this party but you are utterly wrong. I do not even want to be in the same place as you if it is possible so stay away from me.” Alaric’s voice was clear and loud. Even though I already know that Alaric wasn’t going to turn on me and go over to Ginny like everyone I know did, it still felt good seeing him say it again. “Are you not being too harsh on my sister?” Jason stepped forward, his eyes dark, “Ginny would never say something if she’s not sure of it. She wouldn't lie

Rhea's POV A thrill went down my spine at his words, but I kept my composure. I smiled, stepping forward, calm and deliberate, “Thank you, Father. I appreciate your generosity and your fairness.” A slow murmur of approval moved through the crowd. Eyes turned toward me now, some wary, some impressed, but many admiring. “Now that we’ve settled that matter.” I said, clearing my throat lightly, “There’s one more thing we’d like to announce before the evening is over.” Alaric moved to my side, his presence grounding. With a subtle nod between us, he took my hand. “Regarding the issue of me bringing Kevin as a date to this party, the explanation is simple. I wanted to see what Kevin had in store for me after the shenanigans of last night. If I hadn't come along with him tonight, I'm sure he would have tried to use it against me later. So I had to, I hope you all forgive me for deceiving you all.” I bowed in apology towards the audience and then continued. “Not everyone may know of

Rhea’s POV“You two… Do you know each other?” I asked, shock filling my features. Ava and Alaric stared at each other for a little while before Ava huffed and walked towards me, then linked arms with me. There was something much like possessiveness in the way she held me. But… Was that feeling directed towards Alaric or me? “It’s… Not nice to see you here, Alaric.” Ava muttered coldly. “I would say the same for you. I had no idea you and my Fiance knew each other.” Alaric’s voice was as cold as her’s. I would say that they completely matched each other’s energy but… What was this atmosphere that I felt between them? It was not very harmonious but not chaotic either. It just felt weird.“We became acquainted quite a while ago, can’t you see that we are holding hands?” The tone in Ava’s voice suggested that she was calling him blind.“If anyone here heard you, they would think I am the blind one and not you. Well… With your eyesight, I did not even think that you could see enough to m

Ginny’s POV“All these years, I have been the child that they loved the most. Rhea also loved me so well that she did everything for me without complaining, it even felt like she was the one who wanted me in the house the most but she suddenly changed ever since that day that she was pushed into the pool. She became colder and more dangerous, she did not want to have anything to do with me any longer, she even began to despise me! I tried to help you and her get back together as she liked you but I ended up betraying her. She framed me for pushing her down the stairs and made me go to prison for a few days. Then she pretended to make me help her prepare for the party and made Alaric lie to me that he was going to be my partner but she was all waiting for this moment! She even made my daddy give her the company and house and he had been saving from me, she is taking everything away from me. I.. I was in a panic and that’s why I was not able to say anything to help you.” I raised my hea
