Rosalyn's pupils contracted. Instinctively, she tried to step back and dodge.The very next second, a powerful force shoved her aside."Watch out!" Carl lunged forward. He threw himself in front of Rosalyn and shielded her completely.Without any surprise, the unknown liquid that was meant for Rosalyn splashed onto Carl instead. There wasn't a single drop that missed, and most of it soaked his arms and back.A pungent stench filled the air. The liquid corroded his suit almost instantly, and blisters rapidly bubbled up on the skin beneath.'Sulfuric acid?'When her first attempt failed, Zoe snapped completely. Seeing there was still some liquid left in the bottle, she raised it again and screamed, "Go to hell!"Before Rosalyn could react, Carl endured the searing pain and grabbed Zoe's wrist. He smashed the bottle onto the ground, and the two of them immediately grappled with each other."Carl! Let go of me!""Zoe! Have you lost your mind?""Yes! I have lost my mind! I'm your

A month later, in the Grant Inc. boardroom, Rosalyn sat at the head of the table with a file spread out before her."According to Mr. Grant's will, I will assume temporary control of Grant Inc. until a suitable successor is appointed. If anyone here has objections, you may speak now."After finishing her sentence, Rosalyn's sharp gaze swept across the room.The directors exchanged glances before they then shook their heads one after another.Since Carl's accident, Grant Inc.'s business had been in free fall and was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.Now that Rosalyn was taking charge, it effectively meant the company was taken over by Hammond Corporation. With Hammond Corporation's backing, Grant Inc. certainly wouldn't fare too badly even if it couldn't return to its former peak."Very well." Seeing no opposition, Rosalyn closed the file and stood up."Effective today, Grant Inc. will formally come under Hammond Corporation as a subsidiary. The two companies will enter a stra

Outside the courthouse, reporters held up cameras, and flashes were going off so brightly it was hard to keep one's eyes open.Standing at the edge of the crowd, Rosalyn watched as Matthew was escorted into a police vehicle by court officers.Dressed in a prison uniform, he no longer had even a trace of the confidence and swagger he once carried."Matthew Steinfeld has been sentenced to death for malicious homicide, spreading false information that caused public panic, and other charges…"Rosalyn listened quietly to the verdict being read out.She had once believed that seeing Matthew brought to justice would give her a sense of vindication, but now that the day had actually arrived, she felt no joy at all.In fact, there was a strange emptiness inside her."It's over." Eric had appeared behind her at some point and gently wrapped an arm around her shoulders.Rosalyn nodded and leaned back into his embrace. "Yes. This time, it's really over."Eric lowered his head and kissed t

Three years later, at Hammond Corporation's annual gala, Rosalyn was backstage going over her speech when the door to the makeup room was suddenly pushed open."Mommy!" Two chubby kids came barging in, one on each side, and hugged her legs tightly.Ezekiel held up a lollipop. "Uncle Zac gave it to me!"Elizah immediately tattled. "Daddy said we're not allowed to eat candy!"Zac followed behind them at an unhurried pace while leaning on a cane. He smiled and ruffled the kids' hair."It's fine, but just one bite. Don't tell your dad."After two years of rehabilitation, most of his memory and cognitive abilities had returned. His legs were still a little weak, but the doctors said a full recovery was only a matter of time."Don't spoil them, Zac. Where's Eric?" Rosalyn asked before crouching down to wipe the sugar from her daughter's lips."Got stopped in the hallway by Tim. I heard Wendy's back."Rosalyn's hand slipped, and her fingernail almost poked her daughter's cheek.In t
