Revenge of the Betrayed Billionaire 55. On the Verge of Despair
The wind blew fiercely, causing the ocean to surge. The once clear weather suddenly became dark and overcast, black clouds marched from the horizon, approaching the edge. Glenn gritted his teeth, his jaw tightening, his eyes never leaving the surface of the sea, searching for signs of Hazel's presence.He tried to blink as little as possible, not wanting any tiny clues about Hazel's whereabouts to escape him. The hope of finding Hazel alive never left his heart. He refused to accept the reality that his lover had... Ah, he didn't even want to utter that word.The wind grew stronger, and the other officers in the helicopter exchanged glances. They were becoming desperate, considering Hazel might not be found alive. They were planning to loosen the search mission, not being too ambitious and not fighting against time.The tense atmosphere persisted from two days ago. The mission leader had not downgraded the status from searching for a living person to searching for a body. They were ge

*Smack*Glenn's fist struck the ribs of a man standing arrogantly near his helicopter. The unsuspecting man groaned in pain at Glenn's sudden punch."Hey! What's that for, dumbass?!" Vincent scolded Glenn, pulling Glenn's shoulder to face him.Glenn also stared sharply at Vincent as if ready to pounce. Vincent immediately shrunk, not as confident as he was when reprimanding Glenn. Vincent felt this man was scarier than his brother from his aura."Primitive... Uncivilization man," Victor muttered as Glenn turned to face him, still nursing the pain in his chest."Oh, really? Which educated person nearly drowned the victim earlier?" Glenn challenged, his hands folded in front of his chest.He was furious at the two self-important individuals who seemed to have just arrived in Eagertown, seeking either popularity or just enjoying the drama. But one thing was certain—their arrival, greeted with enthusiasm by important people, disgusted him.Their arrival shifted the focus of the crowd from

"My daughter!" Mr Lucas shouted as he entered the tent, his voice booming and drawing everyone's attention.The man rushed towards Hazel, his robust frame ready to embrace her, tears of joy streaming down his cheeks. Following behind him, Mrs Miriam joined in, expressing her happiness with joyful exclamations.Glenn stepped back, creating space for the family to reunite. There was nothing he cherished more than this moment of successfully bringing the parent and child back together.While Mr Lucas immediately embraced and showered Hazel with kisses, Miriam, on the other hand, hugged Glenn, expressing gratitude repeatedly for saving her daughter.Glenn gently patted Mrs Miriam's shoulder. "Don't mention it, aunt. It was my duty," Glenn responded, trying to calm Miriam down.She nodded and, this time, embraced Hazel in her arms. Glenn exited the tent, realizing he forgot to thank the people who had helped him search for Hazel.Officer Truce approached him with a solemn expression. He ha

"Where are you going?" Vincent asked his older brother, surprised that he was already neat and polished early in the morning.They were staying in the president suite at Montblanc Hotel, a spacious room with good lighting, and they even had their own butler, an exclusive service from the hotel.Victor was fixing his shirt sleeve and smiling at Vincent, in a good mood this morning. "I'm going to visit my future in-laws," he replied casually, a small whistle escaping his lips as he tidied his hair to his liking.Vincent raised his eyebrows, puzzled by his brother's attitude.'Oh, I don't know why, but I'm afraid if his mood is this good, his bad mood could be even worse,' Vincent thought to himself. He prayed to the entire universe that today would be an exception.Vincent glanced at his watch. "Don't forget, after lunch, we have a meeting with Smith Corp," he reminded."Okay... Even better, I like ending my day with something sweet," Victor replied, smiling at his younger brother. The

"Father, can't we consider other options?" Glenn expressed his disagreement.He, who was initially sitting upright, now slouched in the dining chair, losing his appetite for rest as originally intended.His father looked at him, wondering why his son suddenly protested, patiently waiting for an explanation."I... I feel like they might be fraudulent, Father," Glenn added later.His father's face immediately darkened, "Surely you know that I won't jeopardize the fate of the company just because you 'feel' without providing valid data. That's not a wise leader's move, Glenn."Glenn shook his legs while thinking, then stood up from the chair, "Alright, if that's what you want, I'll bring you the evidence you're asking for. What time is the negotiation then?" Glenn asked."After lunch," his father replied."Got it. If I don't show up during the negotiation, you can take over, Father, and I'll admit I was wrong," Glenn challenged.Arthur seemed to ponder for a moment, "Fine," he replied af
Revenge of the Betrayed Billionaire 60. Prof. Dr. Gale Hayes
Gale Hayes, in his late 40s with thick glasses, wearing a worn-out Christmas-themed sweater patched in several places, paired with fabric pants and equally dismal sneakers.No one would know that he was a high-ranking official in a government institute handling hundreds of billion dollars of state funds.He lived such a low-profile life that not many people knew what kind of person he was. He disliked attending social events and being the center of attention.Making appointments with him was challenging because he only wanted to meet with companies that were clean and salvageable. He didn't like giving false hope to people because of his straightforward way of life.If people thought he was miserable, in reality, he was the happiest and fulfilled person. Content with his own world, he didn't care about others' opinions.How did Glenn get to know this man? Even his parents and Connor couldn't reach out to him for help yesterday.That was because... he accidentally helped the man win an

"Annoying! Why didn't you tell me earlier, Vin? Are you happy to see me become a laughingstock?" Victor pointed angrily at his younger brother.They have arrived back at the hotel and are having an argument in the living room.Vincent sighed heavily, sinking into the soft sofa in the living room. His predictions from this morning proved to be true in the evening, as Victor's cheerful mood turned into fiery anger."How was I supposed to know what Gale Hayes looks like? You drop me out of colleagues before the lecture about him. Talking about it... you should have known him! You just want me to take the blame; not cool and not fair." Vincent retorted, refusing to accept the blame.He stood up, wanting to have dinner and rest his head. "Uh-oh, where are you going?! I haven't finished talking!" Victor pointed, not allowing him to leave."I need to go to the bathroom! My stomach hurts; tired of being scolded by you all the time!" complained Vincent, with an equally annoyed expression.The

"Dad!" Hazel called out to Lucas Walsh.With a bit of running, she searched for her Dad. He was drinking alone behind the kitchen island, where he could observe their interaction earlier.The man knew why his daughter was looking for him, but he remained unmoved."Don't make a scene here; appreciate the host and the event. Dad never taught you to act like a child," the Dad coldly threatened.Her usually warm and embracing Dad suddenly behaved so differently, with no warmth in his tone. Hazel felt like she had encountered a different Lucas Walsh."But what you did was really outrageous, Dad." Hazel still wanted to voice her protest. Tears of frustration had welled up in her eyes.All this time, she had been a good and obedient child to Dad and Mom, but they never seemed to appreciate her feelings and controlled every aspect of her life. Hazel felt like a bird in a gilded cage – beautiful but unable to fly freely."Do you even know anything? You still don't understand anything, Hazel. L

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

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?

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.

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

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

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?
