Chapter 45 Betrayal.Richard stared at Gaby reproachfully, but she, with her arms wide open, tried to stop him from passing."Jayden!" she exclaimed, and instantly, Gaby was grabbed by the waist and pulled away from Richard's path."What are you doing?" Gaby protested when Jayden released her abruptly."You should know better than to meddle in other people's relationships," he commented indifferently, while Richard followed after Elizabeth; however, she had already vanished. He had no idea where she had gone, but he knew she hadn't left the campus.Meanwhile, Elizabeth had taken a less-used corridor. There was no one there, except for one or two suspicious individuals who saw her heading that way. There were a few empty rooms, and she chose one and entered, bursting into angry tears, still holdin
Chapter 46: Quest for the TruthElizabeth was taken aback as she left the office and Jayden stood there holding that box."Why are you giving this to me?" she asked, surprised."You left it behind, I believe you should keep it, since you believe so much in lies," he suggested, cold and in a bad mood.She took the box without saying anything else and headed to her room; it had been such a turbulent morning and it wasn't even noon yet.Richard's mansion suddenly seemed very busy. He wasn't accustomed to calling so many employees to his house, but he thought he would need to, to assist a woman like Elizabeth, even though she had lived for years in a simple house, doing ordinary activities alongside her friend Gaby.Jayden, after helping Ailda assign each employee, headed to the establishment where Elizabeth's best friend worked.As soon as the girl saw that guy enter and sit, choosing a table in a more secluded corner, she anxiously followed him."How is Liz?" she asked as she sat down,
Chapter 47: Elizabeth's Plan"Are you going to argue right now?" she asked impatiently."This is the second time you've pursued this woman. Plus, you defended her even after she slapped me. What's going on?" she asked skeptically. "Even my father saw how you act around her."Taylor looked her in the eyes, displaying seriousness. Slowly, he walked toward Emma, making her apprehensive."Tell me, do you think I love her?" he asked, analyzing her as he held her in his arms.She suddenly smirked. "Look... we've been together for three years, in secret. If you loved her... well, we wouldn't have been together for so long. After a year of being with her... I believe even before that, you were cheating.""Yes, I was never faithful to her. That foolish girl fell for my words, I could deceive her in every way because she trusted me blindly. So, what do you think?""Knowing you, I know it's just jealousy. It's clear that she and Richard haven't had anything yet. You still want to be her first, m
"Chapter 48 - Taylor's Fall"Ailda looked at her apprehensively, knowing she couldn't touch on the subject, yet she was so moved by Elizabeth's situation."Many years ago, when Richard's older sister died, his middle sister, Aloury, married his sister's ex-husband. It seems she had feelings for Richard even then, but Richard was fighting to claim the inheritance from his deceased sister that remained in Ricardo's hands, as he knew that man was only with his sister for her money.""Goodness...""Yes, and when Aloury married Ricardo, Richard's plans fell apart.""And did she also give her share to Ricardo to manage?" Ailda asked, interested. Ailda smiled and shook her head negatively."Aloury's share is in Richard's hands. She couldn't bear the indifference of the only brother she had left, and as a way to depict her betrayal, she yielded her share for Richard to manage. So now he has possession of 75 percent of everything, the share of his deceased brother and his middle sister, Aloury
"Chapter 49 - Ignored""Have you seen the news about the Campbel companies?" Jayden asked, handing the tablet to Richard, who silently analyzed the information, surprised."How is this possible?" he asked, frowning. "So many... all the investors." He discreetly smiled, finding the news interesting."That's not even the most interesting part," Jayden announced, flipping the newspaper page.[Campbel Companies Suffer Considerable Economic Damage After Provoking Zany Bay]."Her?""What did Ricardo do to earn Bay's favor?""I don't know, but surely wouldn't want this kind of attention.""What's my loss with these terminations?""You didn't lose anything; it seems this woman took care to harm only two people, Taylor and his father!"At that moment, Richard stood up seriously. It was confusing enough, but he hadn't come close to suspecting Elizabeth."Do you already know what this girl has to do with Zany Bay? Maybe she was the one who ordered the deaths of those two investors.""From what I
"Chapter 50 - A Remembered Past"Richard Campbell:"Hello, Miss Bay, I believe I have matters of your interest. It's time for us to meet."Alfred:"My regards, Mrs. Bay. Your efforts are remarkable. I'm flattered by your attention to our family and also interested in knowing more details about the reasons behind your recent attack on the Campbells."Taylor Campbell:"Mrs. Bay, I know it might seem a little inconvenient for me to send you this email, but I believe there's no reason for you to attack me and my father like this. We can come to an agreement and resolve this as mature individuals. I never thought you'd be capable of such a low game just because you don't like someone. I thought you were a more reasonable person."
Chapter 52 Insistence."What are you doing?" She asked, aghast, trying to move away from him, but he just unzipped his zipper." No! It's not on my dress!" She protested as he unzipped the garment."It's the most unlikely place."No! Are you in your right mind?" She asked skeptically."Where's the key?" He asked, annoyed."No, until you listen to me, please..."Depends on what I gain from listening to you." He commented indifferently as she tried to fix the dress with only one hand."Maybe I'll ask Bay to make a deal with you, what do you think?" She asked, analyzing him; suddenly, he became pensive.He stretched a skeptical smile, nodding his head affirmatively."Are you trying to buy me?"Well... you can't complain about that, after all... you and my father negotiated me, and I found out it wasn't even because of an economic agreement."Oh no? Then for what was it?"I don't know, you tell me, how about that?"You're wrong, I only married you because I wanted to use it to my advantage
