All Chapters of From Coma to Queen: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Nicole was furious.That morning, she had woken early, dressed to impress, and rushed to the office to prepare for a meeting with AU International. The night before, she had even messaged John Charles, the head of their delegation, to confirm their 10:00 a.m. arrival.It was already 10:30 a.m., and no one from AU International had shown up. When she texted John, she found herself blocked. She tried calling, only to discover she was blocked there too.Just like that, he had cut her off completely without warning.Nicole was stunned. No matter how hard she tried to figure it out, she couldn't recall offending him. Everything had seemed fine the night before.She had already leaked news of the upcoming AU International partnership to the media and arranged press coverage for the day. Her plan was to use their global reputation to propel her gaming company into national fame.Now, with John ghosting her, she had lost all credibility.After asking around, Nicole learned John was stay

A sudden realization struck Nicole like lightning—Diane Rae!While she'd been distracted, John had already slipped into the elevator. By the time she rushed over, the doors had slid shut right in her face. It was like he thought she carried the plague.Furious, Nicole snatched out her phone and dialed the contact who'd introduced her to John."You said John was obsessed with some local actress, right? Is it Diane? The one who just won the international Best Actress award?"The moment she got confirmation, everything fell into place, and her expression hardened.'It has to be that bitch, Arya. She must have found out about the video from last night and gone crying to Diane,' she thought.The two had always been close. When Arya married Neil, Diane was her only bridesmaid.And now, Diane just happened to be John's favorite celebrity.Nicole ground her teeth. Diane must have gone straight to John and poisoned his opinion of her—all for Arya's sake. That had to be why the AU Intern

The man snapped, "What do you think you're doing? Attacking someone in public?"The voice sounded strangely familiar to Arya.Behind her sunglasses, she gave him a second look. The more she stared, the more familiar he seemed. Then, like a flash of lightning, it struck her. He was the same man who had helped her at T-Club last time.She remembered his name—Samuel Ketchum. He was Troy's subordinate.Arya felt a headache. She worried Troy might show up out of nowhere again, just like before. She could handle anyone else, but Troy was the last person she wanted to see her in such a pathetic, disheveled state."And who are you supposed to be? Mind your own business!" Nicole growled, yanking her arm free and sizing Samuel up.His business suit bore no obvious designer logo, but it was clearly expensive. His watch alone probably cost hundreds of thousands. His presence—refined and powerful—shouted wealth.Then Nicole glanced at Arya standing behind him, looking delicate and pitiful be

As a renowned international award nominee and a towering figure in the medical world, Chuck naturally inspired that kind of admiration.Arya stood just outside the crowd, watching as an MPV pulled up. A swarm of students rushed forward, though none dared to approach the door too closely. They didn't want to risk brushing against the professor. Instead, they kept a respectful distance.When the door opened, Chuck stepped out. His white hair and sharp gaze gave him an air of authority, and the dark suit only added to his solemn, scholarly presence. The noisy crowd fell silent at once. The students stood still, well-behaved and eager, clutching copies of his publications in hopes of a signature.From a distance, Arya watched with a quiet, nostalgic smile.That was Chuck. He looked stern, even intimidating, but he was unfailingly kind to his students. He stayed up late helping graduates revise their theses, gave extra opportunities to the talented, and even paid out of pocket for stude

Arya couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She didn't know John. They weren't related, and they had never met. Yet the Hammonds remained a powerful family with real influence. For John to blacklist Nicole so decisively was basically cutting ties with the entire Hammond name.All over one leaked video? Business was business, and profits came first.Arya didn't believe John would make such a rash decision without a deeper reason. There had to be something else. She just couldn't put her finger on it.Still, it almost felt like an invisible hand was quietly protecting her.…Back at the villa, Arya took advantage of Patricia's absence to install the small security camera in the corner of the kitchen.She checked the time. Christopher and Charlotte would be home from school soon.After setting out the delicacies and desserts she had brought, she heard a car pull up outside.They were home.Her cheek still throbbed from Nicole's slap. She pushed her long hair to the si
