Chapter 1

On the other end of the line, Theodore Shaw dismissed my frantic shouting with a scoff."Juliette Kane, do you honestly think I'm still going to believe a word you say? My parents are on their private cruise in the Aurelian Sea right now. A lawyer like you would say anything to save your own skin."Natalie Quinn let out a soft, amused laugh and chimed in, "Theo, isn't twisting the truth what she does best? Now, she's trying to hide behind your parents."Theodore's fury was ignited, and he issued another order. "Activate the sonic pulse. I want their eardrums blown out!"Dozens of drones shifted formation at once, releasing a shrill, high-frequency sound wave. The hot air balloon basket shook violently, and the glass goblets at our feet shattered into powder in an instant.My mother-in-law, Margaret Kane, had a pre-existing heart condition.Between the violent shaking and the shock, her asthma flared up in an instant. Her face turned purple as she struggled to breathe.My eyes

Margaret gripped my hand with all the strength she had left and shook her head weakly at me, telling me not to sign.I looked at the two elderly people whose lives were hanging by a thread, then met the love and resolve in their eyes. It felt as if my heart was being torn to pieces.Ultimately, my hand shook as I picked up the pen and signed my name on the agreement.The moment I was done, a drone indeed flew over, carrying a small metal canister labeled, "Emergency Inhaler."A flicker of hope flared in my chest, and I reached out to grab it.However, Natalie snatched the sniper rifle from Theodore's hands, her smile sickeningly sweet and venomous."Theo, if you're going to break someone, you have to hit them where it hurts. That's what makes it fun."She smiled as she pulled the trigger. The bullet struck the inhaler in midair, blasting it apart. Pepper spray exploded through the basket, sharp and choking, filling the air in an instant.I covered my mouth and nose, but tears k

There was an emergency parachute pack there."Juliette, pull the cord!" Richard yelled.My hand shook as I clawed for the rip cord. The parachute bloomed open above us, instantly slowing our descent.With every ounce of strength left in me, I wailed toward the helicopter, "Theodore, you have to save Dad, or you'll regret this for the rest of your life!"Theodore merely sneered, raising his sniper rifle once more. This time, the muzzle was aimed at my wrist."My dad is enjoying his life on a cruise, but you… You're about to learn what it feels like to lose those closest to you!"The crack of the rifle echoed in the air before the bullet tore through my wrist.The pain drained the strength from my hand in an instant, and Richard fell toward the bottomless cliff like a kite with its string cut."Dad!"The scream that tore from my throat was the most harrowing sound I had ever made.My vision went dark, and I nearly passed out. The basket hung precariously by a single, fraying ca

"Theodore, how dare you!"The voice carried across the air, cold and commanding, and the man's gaze was sharp enough to cut. It was Leonard Shaw, Theodore's uncle.Completely dazed from the blow, Theodore stared at Leonard and still tried to talk his way out of it."Uncle Leonard, thank God you're here! It was Juliette. That woman is insane. She kidnapped my parents because she wants the Shaw family fortune, and she's the one controlling those drones!"Leonard didn't waste a second listening to his excuses. He merely gave a cold wave of his hand.A professional rescue team rappelled down from the sky in an instant, pulling Margaret and me out of the buckling basket.At that point, Margaret's life was still hanging by a thread.The moment a paramedic parted the matted hair from her face, now swollen and red from the stings, Theodore looked as if he'd been struck by lightning.He froze dead in his tracks.Every drop of color drained from his face. His lips trembled, but the so

Theodore and Natalie were dragged into my ward and forced down in front of me.Theodore was the first to break. He cried so hard he could barely speak, groveling and begging as he shifted every ounce of blame onto Natalie."Juliette, I was wrong. I was so wrong. She got in my head. Natalie told me my parents were in the Aurelian Sea. She lied to me. This was all her doing!"Natalie looked entirely scared out of her wits, crying and begging at the top of her lungs. "Juliette, please. I know I messed up. Please give me one more chance. I swear I'll never do anything like this again!"I ignored their pathetic displays and calmly summoned my legal team instead. Right before them, I asked my lead attorney to read the documents I had prepared long before this day."First, we'll be filing criminal charges against Ms. Natalie Quinn for attempted murder, major financial fraud, illegal fundraising, and several related offenses."My attorney paused briefly before continuing, "We have a stro

Theodore alleged that I had been eyeing the Shaw family fortune from the very beginning, going so far as to hold his parents captive and staging the entire hot air balloon incident myself.He swore up and down that he loved his parents more than anything. The 1,000 drones, he claimed, were meant to be a romantic surprise for his first love.It was my interference that accidentally harmed his parents, and I had carefully engineered the entire tragedy.To back up his story, Theodore even released an audio recording, edited and dubbed to sound as if I were personally admitting my plans to hijack the family fortune.Public opinion flipped overnight.His award-winning performance completely fooled countless clueless netizens. They flooded my social media accounts and Shaw Group's official website with vicious insults."How can someone be so heartless!""Leave the Shaw family alone and return the company to its rightful owner!""Someone like her should be locked up in prison!"In an

The report used the most exhaustive data and technical analysis to prove that the satellite call Theodore received that morning, the one where his parents supposedly checked in from the Aurelian Sea, had been generated using the latest AI voice-cloning technology and routed through a spoofed cellular base station.Worse still, the IP address used to forge that signal tracked directly back to a luxury mansion registered under Natalie's name.The evidence was damning. With that, every lie Theodore had told fell apart.The tide in the room instantly shifted. Every shareholder and reporter in the room looked at him as if he were a complete fool and a fraud.Theodore started trembling despite himself. Even then, he kept muttering the same useless words under his breath, "No… It's fake. It's all fake."I looked at him, then released the final blow, one that would destroy him completely."Everyone, I have one last announcement."I turned my head toward the big screen, which now display

The executives and shareholders who had turned their backs on me to side with Theodore were given the most respectable boot from the company.Instead of collapsing, Shaw Group rallied under my leadership, scaling to unprecedented heights at a relentless pace.Richard's condition also improved under my care and the rehabilitation plan designed by the world's best medical team.Though left with partial paralysis, he eventually regained his ability to speak and converse normally.On a bright, breezy morning, Richard and Margaret formally transferred all the shares they owned in Shaw Group to me.I, Juliette Kane, a woman who had married into the family, became the Shaws' rightful and undisputed head.At last, I had taken back everything that was once stolen from me. And in the process, I had claimed far more.Standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of Shaw Group, I looked down at the sprawl of city lights below. There was no grief in my heart, and no joy eithe

Chapter 9

I felt my heart drop as a chill ran down my spine. I looked at Leonard, my throat dry. "What are you talking about?"He let out a smooth, effortless laugh. "I'm saying Natalie's revenge plan only got off the ground before I 'accidentally' leaked the playbook to her in the first place. "As for Theodore, I know his stupidity, arrogance, and volatility better than anyone. All I did was hand them a loaded weapon and wait for them to do exactly what people like them were always going to do."My original plan was to let them tear each other to pieces. Then, I'd swoop in like the ultimate savior, clean up the mess, and rightfully take control of the Shaw family."He looked at me, a hint of genuine respect creeping into his eyes. "But you surprised me. Not only did you remove Theodore, the biggest obstacle in my path, but you also ran Shaw Group so flawlessly that you saved me a great deal of trouble."Richard shook with rage, pointing a finger at Leonard, but he couldn't form a single
