A Vow of Vegeance のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Katrina expected Serena to be worried, but her laid-back attitude was irritating.But it didn't matter. Serena, I won't lose to you. Just wait and see!During the meeting, all the top executives were present, including Damien and Marcus.Marcus was quite a sight with a bandage on his forehead. Anyone who didn't know might think he'd been in a fight!Then again, for someone like Marcus, getting into trouble seemed pretty normal.She had to admire whoever had the guts to hit Marcus, though. Too bad they didn't finish the job—she'd give them a bad review for that.The two teams each took turns to present.Katrina seized the opportunity and spoke first, laying out her design concepts.Marcus was very pleased, a confident smile spreading across his face.With Katrina, a top graduate, on his side, he was sure he'd finally beat Damien. He wanted everyone to know he was never inferior to Damien.He wanted everyone to see that Damien was justaverage.Damien, however, showed little reaction. He

Though she was a popular streamer with high sales, she mostly promoted small, low-quality items.Partnering with the Kade Corporation could potentially elevate her status.The streamer agreed, even flirting a bit with Marcus. After all, to seize this opportunity, she knew she had to give something in return. She understood the rules of the game.That night, after her live stream ended, Marcus sent her a room number. Once she was done streaming, she went straight to the room to wait for him. If she could really get involved with a Kade heir, she'd be set for life.Unbeknownst to her, Marcus was merely using her for his own purposes. Things naturally progressed and they ended up spending the night together in the hotel room.Meanwhile, Katrina soon received photos of Marcus and the streamer in the hotel room. She was so furious she nearly ground her teeth to dust. Damn men, they're all the same. Not a single decent one among them.But Katrina needed Marcus to climb up the social ladder.

Serena, feeling both tired and sleepy, could barely keep her eyes open. "Went out for drinks."Seeing Serena in such a dazed state amused Damien, so he continued, "Who did you go drinking with?"Serena admitted freely, "With Layla Foster! She's really interesting and quite my type."Serena genuinely liked Layla. But Damien misheard it as a man's name, thinking it was some guy she picked up at the bar.Of all names, why Layla Foster?However, from the recent events, it seemed Serena hadn't done anything too out of line. Still, the thought of her being close to another man made Damien uncomfortable. Damien gently grasped Serena's chin. "Next time, if you dare to mess around, I'll tie you up so you can't leave the house.""Okay," Serena mumbled, too exhausted to fully comprehend what she was agreeing to.Damien looked at Serena, who was sleeping like a log and shook his head in disbelief. Despite his frustration, he carried her to the bathroom to clean her up. After all, Damein couldn't

Serena also pulled up Layla's return rate statistics for the team to review. "Layla not only has impressive numbers, but her return rate is the lowest. She always works with brands that prioritize quality, which is why her followers trust her choices. I've already reached out to Layla and she's interested in collaborating with our Kade clothing brand. However, her condition is that quality must be impeccable, with no issues whatsoever. She plans to send her team to audit our quality standards. I believe she's the perfect candidate for the host role. What do you all think?"Juliet was surprised that Serena had actually taken initiative and contacted Layla so quickly. It showed she was serious about her work. Usually, Serena was either gaming or napping at the office, but when it mattered, she stepped up.Juliet was a bit impressed, though she wasn't about to let Serena off the hook so easily. She still needed to prove herself.Everyone else agreed, as Layla had been a popular suggestio

Serena hurried into the company and accidentally bumped into Damein.Damien steadied her, raising an eyebrow. "Are you being chased by a dog?"Serena looked up at Damien and nodded vigorously. "Something scarier than a dog."Damien: "...""Try to be more composed in the office. Don't be so clumsy."Serena: "..."How could she not be clumsy? There was a persistent pest outside! After all these years, why hadn't he let her go?Sure, he was her first love, but that was ages ago. How could those feelings still be taken seriously?Fearing that Brad might still be outside, Serena suddenly grabbed Damien's arm.Damien frowned slightly, clearly displeased.But Serena didn't care and said to Damien, "Wherever you're going, take me with you."Damien shook off her hand. "I'm going to a meeting. Are you sure you want to tag along?"Serena was resolute. "Even if I have to go through fire and water, I'm sticking with you." Bradwas just too dangerous and avoiding him seemed the best option for now.
