Revenge of the Betrayed Billionaire 137. Got You
"What are you thinking? You seem quieter than usual," Hazel complained as she hugged Glenn's back, who was lost in thought on their living room sofa."Oh—really? I didn't realise I was thinking about work issues even though I'm at home; sorry," Glenn reasoned, stroking his wife's hand that was embracing his chest."Is that all?" Hazel probed, not believing Glenn's excuse."Yes, sweetheart, I'm trying to acquire some collapsing pharmaceutical companies, but the board thinks it's a risky investment; no one agrees with me. Even when Father also gave his input, most of the board didn't want it. It's going to be a big battle," Glenn explained.Hazel looked pensive, "Well, that's not my field; I don't know what you're talking about, but one thing is my main focus. What's your strong reason for doing that when most voices are against it?" Hazel asked.Glenn smiled at Hazel's innocent but on-point question. Glenn became uncomfortable because it meant he had to lie to his wife. According to Gl

"What does he want from me?" This time, Yvonne asked Victor, giving him her full attention. The hum of the machines in the laundry room where they conversed served as the background noise.Victor lit his cigarette before answering Yvonne's question. He sat near the exhaust, the cigarette smoke quickly disappearing into it. He didn't want to suffocate Yvonne with his smoke, but he needed nicotine to relax his mind."He wants you to return to work as his research head," Victor replied shortly.Yvonne scoffed at Glenn's request. "Does he think I would agree to that? After what happened between us? He seems crazy. Besides, there's nothing left to make me want to leave here. Dad is gone, and I want to take care of Mom here," Yvonne rejected immediately, sounding convincing."Does your mom really need your care?" Victor teased.Yolanda's health was gradually improving, and her transformation was noticeable every day. Those who didn't know her wouldn't guess that she had been so "ill" for ye

Glenn stepped out of his car at the front lobby of Smith Corp when he noticed the receptionist's panicked expression as she saw him. She immediately discreetly typed a message on her phone.The awkward expressions on the faces of several employees who glanced at him did not escape his observation; some even turned around when they were about to cross paths with Glenn.Glenn's intuition told him that something was amiss. He wasn't supposed to be at the office today because he was scheduled to fly abroad to meet a major distributor who would help him market his products to several specific countries.He quickened his pace, intending to catch whatever was going on behind him before they could escape.Several names swirled in his mind, 'How dare they plot against me behind my back,' Glenn thought.His intuition told him not to go to his office but to the meeting room located directly below it. So there he went.The glass-windowed meeting room was located right in front of the elevator, so

"Where to?" whispered Roe to Jason as he pushed Jason's wheelchair slowly through the narrow alley between the tightly packed houses."There," Jason pointed to a disused well covered with concrete to prevent small children from opening it."Are you sure?" Roe asked, hesitant."Yeah, no one will search there. Besides, I highly doubt they'll bother looking for her; she's just an added burden for Chief Eugene, right? Chief Eugene will even thank you for getting rid of Amber for her," Jason goaded, sounding convincing.Roe's eyes gleamed at the thought of Eugene praising him for taking the initiative without being ordered.Yes, he had seen firsthand how his chief was often annoyed by Amber's behaviour. He knew Chief Eugene couldn't avoid the responsibilities given to her by Glenn Smith because of her dedication as a human being.But not if someone else got rid of Amber, right? Chief Eugene wouldn't be blamed.That thought made Roe happy."Okay, don't tell anyone," Roe instructed Jason. Th

"Are you ready?" Glenn asked Hazel. Hazel looked so beautiful tonight, wearing a long emerald green lace dress, adorned with long dangling earrings in both ears."Please, love," Hazel requested, holding out a thin chain necklace with a pendant shaped like a teardrop diamond.Glenn immediately put the necklace around Hazel's slender neck, and once he succeeded, his fingers lingered on his wife's neck.He traced Hazel's neck with gentle movements, making Hazel shudder. "Love..." he murmured softly because their evening could be postponed if Glenn asked for another round of their bedroom game."What, can't I admire my own wife?" Glenn teased, searching for an excuse."You can do it another time, dear..." Hazel pleaded desperately. She imagined the series of preparations she had done since the afternoon so that tonight she would appear perfect. She didn't want to embarrass Glenn; this was their first gala dinner with millionaires from around the world. Very important people who were rarel

"Mr. Zhang!" Glenn called out as he ran towards the man, but the man didn't hear him.Mr. Zhang's brisk pace forced Glenn to run small steps to keep up.Considering Mr. Zhang's packed schedule between presentations, lectures, research, and publicity appointments, he couldn't afford to miss this meeting. Glenn caught a glimpse of Mr. Zhang's shadow disappearing behind a dark, closed door on the twenty-fifth floor."Here you are," Mr. Zhang's voice greeted someone before closing the door.Glenn glanced at room number 25-8 with a furrowed brow. It wasn't like him to eavesdrop, but for some reason, his instinct told him he needed to stay put and find out."Who is Mr Zhang meeting that he has to hide?" Glenn wondered. Fortunately for Glenn, Mr. Zhang hadn't closed the door tightly, allowing him to overhear the conversation inside."How much is your offer?" Mr Zhang asked loudly."I thought you said earlier that my request was unreasonable," replied a voice Glenn recognised as Mason Zimmer

"I'm so glad to meet you, Hazel," Mei said as she tightly grasped Hazel's hand.Glenn could see the sincerity in her eyes as she spoke; she seemed naive and distinctively different from her cunning father.Mr. Zhang's gaze at his daughter was also affectionate and protective."Me too; I thought I'd be stuck in the wrong place tonight. Who knew I'd find another book nerd," Hazel replied with a giggle."I'd love to meet again. I'll bring along my interesting book collection," Mei said again with sad eyes."We should! What do you say, Glenn? Can we?" Hazel asked, her eyes misty as she looked at Glenn.Of course, Glenn couldn't refuse and agreed to Hazel's request."As long as Mr. Zhang doesn't mind," Glenn quickly added."I would be delighted," Mr. Zhang commented amiably."Great! Thank you," Hazel said, then briefly kissed her husband's cheek."You must stay at my place; I'll take you around Yuhan and introduce you to our delicious cuisine," Mei offered."Alright, I'll let you know when

After watching Mason's receding back as the elevator carried him away, Glenn pressed his phone and called Yvonne.A hoarse, panicked voice of Yvonne, seemingly awoken by his call, came through."Is there a problem? Are you alright?" Yvonne asked."You're talking to who..." Victor's voice echoed from the background, audible to Glenn."I'm alright. Sorry to disturb your sleep. It's just that I've got our object," Glenn revealed."Object? What object, Glenn? Wait..." Yvonne sounded like she was walking away, perhaps getting a drink, as the sound of water passing through a throat reached Glenn."I couldn't think straight earlier. But is the object you're referring to antibodies? How could it be?" Yvonne finally grasped what Glenn was talking about."The story is long, but I need you to prepare the isolation process. I'll try to bring it to you by next week," Glenn said."Okay," Yvonne replied shortly."Wait, are you ready if I place it in a distant and hidden laboratory? I just met Mason,

As time passed, Glenn and Hazel enjoyed peaceful days while awaiting the birth of their baby. In the month of their baby’s due date, Glenn received the surprising news that Yvonne and Victor were getting married. “Glenn, hurry up!” Hazel hurriedly put on her earrings as they were almost late for Victor and Yvonne’s wedding ceremony. Glenn quickly grabbed his jacket from the back of the chair and hugged Hazel from behind. Seeing Hazel with her big belly made him fall in love with her even more. “Not now,” Hazel grumbled, annoyed. The more Hazel was irritable, the more Glenn enjoyed teasing her. They stepped out of the house and got into the car. Glenn drove at a moderate speed, occasionally reaching for Hazel’s hand and kissing it gently. Hazel felt incredibly happy, showered with love from her husband. When they arrived at the church, the doors were almost closing as the ceremony was about to begin. Glenn and Hazel entered, accompanied by the quiet laughter of the attendees. They

“Mei!” Hazel immediately hugged her friend, whom she hadn't seen for months.Mr. Zhang’s daughter had decided to visit Hazel in Eagertown after the situation in Yuhan had stabilized. She brought a lot of gifts for Hazel, thinking Hazel would want to try some unique treats from Yuhan.“Sorry I came so late, I’ve been incredibly busy in Yuhan,” Mei said.“It’s okay. I know you had a lot to take care of.”They walked through the corridor and into the living room. Glenn, who had just come out of his office, joined them. They all sat comfortably on the sofa.“How does it feel to be expecting a baby?” Mei asked with a giggle.Hazel was due in four months. Time had flown by, and her belly was already showing significantly.“I feel ugly,” Hazel complained.“Ugly? You look so beautiful, Hazel. I’m even jealous of you,” Mei replied. “Being a mother is a privilege not every woman gets.”“I don’t know… I feel so emotionally unstable.” Hazel pouted.Glenn reached for Hazel’s shoulder and hugged he

The effects of the COVID-19 virus had completely vanished in Eagertown, and everyone had returned to their normal activities without worry. Glenn’s company had become more renowned, producing vaccines not only for COVID-19 but for other diseases as well. Glenn was very busy, but he always made time for Hazel.Glenn had just left the hospital after accompanying Hazel for a pregnancy checkup, when they happened to run into Beatrice. Apparently, Beatrice had just arrived there.“Mrs. Zimmerman, what are you doing here? Are you sick?” Hazel asked.“Oh, I’m not sick, Hazel. I have a meeting with some doctors here to discuss sending medical aid to remote areas in Latin America.” Beatrice chuckled softly.“You’re really busy,” commented Glenn. “Take care of your health, Mrs. Zimmerman.”Beatrice nodded. “Thank you for your concern, Glenn.”Then she continued, “Since I happened to run into you here, Glenn, there’s something I’d like to talk about. I need your help.”Glenn was momentarily tak

“Where’s Glenn?” Yvonne asked as she and Victor approached Hazel, who was already sitting and waiting at the café where they had arranged to meet.“He’s taking Sean and his grandmother to Ms. Eugene’s place.”Yvonne only nodded briefly, then took a seat. Victor immediately started flipping through the menu, feeling very hungry.“They’re going to stay there? It seems Eagertown isn’t suitable for Sean,” Victor commented.Hazel sighed softly. “It might be too noisy here.”“Some people just don’t feel comfortable living in the city, Hazel. It doesn’t mean they don’t like being with you.”“I know.” Hazel only nodded wearily.Hazel felt dizzy and her stomach was uneasy, but she forced herself to meet Yvonne and Victor because she wanted to discuss the charity. Yvonne was going to provide a report on the funds that had been allocated and where they had been sent, including to Ms. Eugene’s place.However, Hazel didn’t want to talk about that at all; she just wanted to lie down in bed.“Hazel?

The atmosphere there was busy, as everyone was hard at work building the town. Glenn got out of the car along with Sean and Grandma Mari. As Glenn expected, it seemed that Sean and the grandmother were immediately captivated. Both of them looked at Glenn.“This is a very nice place, Glenn,” praised Sean.From the crowd, Ms. Eugene emerged with a wide smile. She immediately greeted Glenn, Sean, and Grandma Mari.“This must be Sean and Grandma Mari,” nodded Ms. Eugene. “Mr. Glenn has called me, and I am really delighted if you want to stay here.”Grandma Mari agreed. “Of course. I feel at home already.”“You can look around if you like,” offered Ms. Eugene.Sean and the grandmother held hands, and they soon mingled with the people busy at work. Meanwhile, Glenn and Ms. Eugene watched over the bustling activity.“You’re very busy here?” asked Glenn.Ms. Eugene chuckled. “We got a lot of help from Mrs. Zimmerman’s charity and Miss Yvonne.”“Oh, really?”It turned out that the charity ment

A week after Mason's funeral, Beatrice visited Glenn's office. According to Mason's mandate, the company acquired by Glenn would still provide Beatrice with the remaining funds. It was no small amount since Glenn had bought Mason’s company at a fair price.Beatrice had signed the documents and handed them to Glenn. She looked very composed, though her heart had been broken twice after losing Mason forever.“It’s all done, Glenn. Thank you for your cooperation,” Beatrice said.“Once again, my deepest condolences, Mrs. Zimmerman.”A faint smile appeared on Beatrice’s lips. “What happened to Mason did break my heart. But in the end, he tried to be a good person, and I am still proud of him.”There was a light in Beatrice’s eyes, indicating she had come to terms with everything. Even when Mason returned, he was the Mason she had once known.“He will be remembered as a good man. I will make sure of that,” Glenn nodded.“Thank you, you are very kind.”“So, what are your plans moving forwa

Eleanor brought a cup of hot coffee, and though she had changed her clothes, her face still looked disheveled. She smiled sweetly as she placed the coffee on the table, then sat next to Mason. She tried to touch him, but Mason gently moved her hand to the sofa.“Once again, I’m sorry, Eleanor. But I can’t continue our relationship,” Mason said.“You’re going back to Beatrice, aren’t you?”“No. But we’ve made peace, and I know she doesn’t want me anymore.”“Then why? Why are you going back to her?” Eleanor asked, her eyes sad. “Stay here with me.”Mason gave a faint smile, his face looking sorrowful. He felt like the most despicable person in the world, having hurt both Beatrice and now Eleanor. They both deserved happiness, something Mason couldn’t offer.When Beatrice decided to keep their relationship as friends for now, Mason accepted it. He felt he had to be fair, which meant Eleanor also needed to find her own happiness.“You need to find your own happiness, Eleanor.” Mason kisse

Irina and Hazel seemed eager to hear what had brought Beatrice and Mason together to Glenn’s office.“Did you make up?” Irina asked.Beatrice nodded. “As friends, I think. I can’t just accept Mason’s feelings, I don’t know… I don’t want to force myself.”“Yes, of course, Mrs. Zimmerman. Even though you're his wife, you have the right to find your own happiness. If it’s better to be friends, then that’s what you should do. But if your feelings say otherwise...” Hazel began, but Irina interrupted her.“No! Don’t go back to him. I can’t imagine it. Just stay friends, Beatrice,” Irina said firmly.Beatrice chuckled. “Yes, I’ll just follow wherever our story leads.”“He cam

The foggy memories slowly became clearer as Mason stepped onto the porch of the house he had long abandoned. Dark thoughts crept into his mind—if he knocked on the door, would he be welcomed? Or would everything be different?Mason took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell of the seemingly deserted house.Several minutes passed, and Mason continued to stand there, waiting. Finally, the front door opened, and Beatrice appeared. Despite looking older, her face was bright. She had found her own peace.However, the arrival of Mason seemed to shatter that peace instantly.“Mason?” Beatrice looked at him in disbelief.“I’d like to talk to you, Bea. May I? That is, if you’re willing.”Beatrice’s eyes remained fixed on Mason’s pitiful figure. Whatever had happened, something terrible must have hit Mason hard.
