The doctor who was looking after Bernice was still here. Remi saw him and raised her chin to Lacy. "Don't buy it? You should ask him yourself.”"Well..." The doctor let out a sigh and shrugged. "ECT has worked for people with depression in the past. Helps some people get over trauma.”Lacy answered, "Let's do it then." Bernice woke up right that moment, "No!" Her voice broke, and tears filled her eyes. "I don't care if it hurts me. I want to remember how painful it was to lose my family forever!" "Really?" Remi smiled. "You can hear us?" "Bits and pieces..." Bernice choked between her sobs. Then she stared Remi straight in the eye, her eyes burning. "I know you don't like me, but this? Taking away my memories? Do you think that will hide what you did? I never wanted to blame you, but you know why I'm here! You did this! And now you want to fry my brain to make me forget? That's just wrong!" Remi rolled her eyes and threw the medical report on Bernice’s bed, where the pages fle

"Please do this for her. Look at the poor creature. She's bawling her eyes out after all the work she did to get rid of me. Don't you feel sorry for her?" Lacy took a big breath. "Don't say stupid things.""Everything I just said was true," Remi said, her voice steady. "How many times have I told you?" he growled. "I'm not letting you go off to some other jerk, that's for sure. You worked so hard to get me to marry you back then. Well, now? It won't be simple to leave." Remi looked him straight in the eye and didn't flinch. She yelled loudly. "Bernice, it's not that I won't leave. Lacy is the one who won't let me go! What do you think about this? Send me the money first, and I'll figure out the rest later." "Have you lost your mind?" Lacy blew up. "You know she's weak, yet you're still trying to get her to do this? I'll take care of the business for her. Stop talking about quitting. No matter who you attempt to get involved, I'm not going to sign off.”"You greedy bastard," she sai

Theo’s hard face softened when he heard her talk. "I've been a fool," he said, sounding sorry. "I couldn't keep my grandson in check. You must be in a lot of pain if you're resigning from the company and getting a divorce. This check is my way of saying I'm sorry for being rude to you. Start a business, open a store, do whatever you want." She wasn't ready for his unexpected honesty. She looked at the huge number on the check and thought for a while. Theo pushed it into her hand. "Take this, and you're done with us. I'll tell everyone to stop looking at you. You will be free.”The study door suddenly opened. Lacy burst in, holding Ian in his arms. His expression was as dark as a thundercloud. "Well, Remi. You got your hands on that nice cheque, didn't you? He smiled. "That's pretty rich of you to call me out when you're just as bad. Who is the actual serpent in this marriage?”"Dad was right about you!" Ian pointed at her. "Gold digger! You don't deserve him! I don't like you as m

Remi leaned up close and spoke in a devious way. "Back then, you didn't like Bernice, and now you can't tolerate me. Why don't you marry Lacy if no one he marries ever makes you happy? You can keep your darling boy all to yourself forever, and I can get my divorce without having to look at your ugly face every day.”Vivian was ready for something serious, not this embarrassing jab. She was so angry that she shook, and her polished exterior fell apart as she raised her hand to hit Remi. "You rude young brat! Who told you you could talk to me like that? Someone like you wouldn't even be able to stand in front of me, let alone marry my son, if you hadn't shamelessly seduced him.”Remi flinched back, pretending to be scared for a second. That dodge made Vivian angry. She surged forward and slapped Remi hard, her face contorted with rage. A loud crack resonated, and red fingerprints appeared on Remi’s soft cheek. The servants who were close by stopped what they were doing. Remi’s eyes

Remi’s lips curled into a mocking smile. "Doesn't it hurt? You were so close to being married to her.” Lacy’s eyes were as cold and venomous as he gazed at her. "You know damn well why we didn't get together! You're the one to blame, but here you are, trying to blame others.” Remi laughed in a dry way. "Keep lying. But you know the truth deep within. Your mom wrecked your wedding plans long before we even hooked up!” She took a deep breath, and her voice was full of annoyance. "And now? I'm getting out of the way for you. Simply marry the person you love. What is stopping you? Don't tell me you're having second thoughts.”Lacy stopped moving. Those hashtags that are popular right now? He didn't think about losing Bernice at first. No, he couldn't believe how far Remi would go to get rid of him. He couldn't believe that she still only wanted to leave him. He said on purpose to get her angry, "I have loved Bernice for so many years. It's going to be real if I want to marry her. But yo

Remi saw the reporters run away like rats, and her whole body shook with rage. She glared at Lacy and saw that he seemed confused too. Someone got out of the lead automobile just as she was going to ask call someone. The person said a few words to the team, and then turned toward her building. The bright lights made his body stand out. The black coat made his towering body stand out, and the earring sparkled. It was Finn. He still had that little smirk on his face. As soon as she saw Finn, Remi locked eyes with Lacy and said at the same time, "What's he doing here?" Lacy let out a snicker. "He got you out of jail himself, and now he's at your door. And you have the nerve to ask me why he's here?” A courteous knock on the door came soon after. Finn’s voice, which was quite sophisticated, came through. "Remi, are you home?" Remi scowled, not sure what to do now. But the door moved. It opened up an inch. She realized that Lacy had forgotten to lock it in his hurry to get in after Ma

Remi pushed Lacy’s hand away and looked back and forth between the two men. She breathed in deeply and pointed to the door. "Get the hell out, both of you!" Lacy couldn't believe it and pointed at himself with wide eyes. "Do you want me to leave too?" "Of course, you're the first to go!" Remi shot back. “And you? You got Bernice involved in this mess and made her go online. You haven't even paid me back for that yet, and now you're kicking me out?“ Lacy yelled In anger. Finn said, being rude. "Are you still simping for another girl? If I was Remi, I would've kicked your ass to the curb a long time ago." "Shut up!" Lacy lost it and turned on Finn with a stare that could kill. "You come here dressed like that and bother someone else's wife... Where's your shame? Leave right away! This is our business, not yours." "Mr. Web, I'll leave," Finn responded with a sneer that made him look like he was making fun of him. “Nose broken, shirt missing. What do you suppose the press will say

As things got heated, Enzo’s face grew black with worry. "That's not feasible. There is no way that a hacker could have access to your bank account with your credit cards link to their app.” "Still in denial?" someone yelled. "How can you keep saying it's not a problem when everyone who's played your game has had the same issue?" "So much for your 'passion project'—it's more like a scam project! Your our game is just malware.”"Of course, it's faster to steal money than to earn it the right way!" "Stop making excuses. Just give us our money back!" The crowd's rage grew, and even people who weren't playing joined in. Enzo stopped moving. He promptly took out his laptop and tried to figure out what was going on. "Stop pretending like you’re trying to do something knowing fully well you guys stole the money!" someone yelled. "The proof is right here. Do you think fixing it now will make what you did go away?" "Either the people in charge take care of this, or we're calling the c

Enzo said, "You know what you're doing." "You want both the game and to make Remi look bad. You're just trying to control her. Well, you can't have it both ways. You will never get the Game Fest!”"Five hundred million dollars." Finn put up three fingers. "Once our tech team checks everything and clears your name, I'll pay for everything myself, and we'll also do the first marketing campaign right." Lacy smiled. "Trying to be a hero with only 500 million dollars? The Web Group doesn't care about that. I'll double it." Everyone in the room gasped at the same time. Most of the people who came were indie developers looking for tiny amounts of money. These figures were too many for them to handle. Finn stayed calm and kept boosting his offer. Lacy easily matched him. The bids went up to $600 million.Enzo, who had always been interested in technology, had never heard people talk about such large amounts of money so casually. He hated Lacy, but he had to think about what was best for h

Bernice said, "Please don't say that. Rumors on the internet might not be true. She had to talk to a lot of men for her profession. That's normal.”“Ms. Green, you're very nice! And also kind and attractive.Thank you for working with us! I also heard Ms. Remi was fired by our boss after her involvement with fraudulent activities.”Remi rolled her eyes and moved onward. "Didn't I say no office gossip? Some people have forgotten the rules even though I haven't formally quit yet.”The employees stopped talking when she showed up. Bernice said, "Remi, you're here. I'm sorry for taking your place. I heard you quit. Good luck." “Whatever. I’m giving you an opportunity to be with the love of your life. A scumbag and bitch together. What a perfect combination.” Remi replied back. "Are you talking about me, Remi? Lacy gave me this job. You quit. I'm the best person for this job. I didn't take your job. How can you be so mean?” "So you knew I quit on my own," Remi lashed back. "Then why di
