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'm leaving," Mr Lucas bid farewell to his wife as he stood in the hallway.Miriam paid no attention, continuing her breakfast as if her husband were an invisible creature.Mr Lucas swallowed hard. Since last night's quarrel, Miriam had been silent, even sleeping in a separate room.This morning, after his shower, he couldn't find his usual clothes neatly prepared by his wife in their walk-in closet.He had to prepare them himself, struggling with tying his own tie, realizing he had been dependent on his wife for 25 years. He examined himself in the mirror several times, feeling something was off but not knowing where.Hazel sprayed her tea, seeing her Dad's appearance—blue pants with a black jacket? Then a yellow tie and orange socks? 'Is Dad planning to perform in the circus?' Hazel thought, suppressing a laugh.Fortunately, she quickly realized her mom's indifferent attitude and understood that her parents were on cold war terms.The morning atmosphere became truly awkward.

Lucas Walsh sat in the meeting room chair two hours after Mr Gede had left the room, and he still hadn't moved.There was a long, weary sigh from Lucas as he toyed with the whiskey glass that his secretary had brought earlier. The whiskey bottle that was once full beside him was now empty.He was contemplating the actions he would take to cover the significant loss after Mr Gede's departure. He had no backup entrepreneur because he was so certain their collaboration would go through.Time was running out, as the Aurora Skyline Hotel, their buyer, had booked their items six months ago. The opening ceremony for the 50-story luxury hotel in Eagertown was just two months away, and they had ordered high-quality furniture for each of their interiors.With the theme "Earth," Aurora Skyline chose wooden-based furniture with a luxurious and classically artistic impression. Each piece of furniture would have detailed philosophical life-inspired carvings.Lucas had envisioned the moment when his

The sound of the ambulance cut through the busy traffic in Eagertown. Inside, it carried Mr Lucas, still unconscious and being attended to by paramedics.Miriam and Hazel, contacted by Mr Lucas's secretary, quickly followed from home to Seraphim Hospital, where the ambulance would take Mr Lucas. The mother and daughter held hands, providing support for each other."Oh, Hazel, what if anything bad happens? I don't want him to leave knowing I'm still angry," Miriam murmured anxiously, worry evident on her face.Hazel patted her mom's hand, saying, "Hopefully, it's nothing serious, Mom. Maybe Dad just fainted," trying to reassure Miriam.Yet, in her heart, Hazel was also uncertain, considering her father's history of heart problems."I don't know... I feel like my anger since last night means nothing compared to his condition now. He hasn't even had breakfast because of me; maybe that's what weakened his body," Miriam confessed.Tears streamed down Miriam's face again. With a handkerchie

"You don’t know anything about parents think. Therefore, be silent, don't interfere," Arthur commanded Glenn.He turned away from his chair this time, not wanting to see either his son or Hazel. His gaze wandered towards the cityscape visible from his office on the highest floor.There was an anomaly he couldn't understand – why Lucas harbored such hatred towards Glenn. For him, refusing an arranged marriage was a common thing among businessmen, and at that point, there was no agreement from his side whatsoever.'What makes him so angry? As if Glenn has committed such a fatal mistake?'And even Glenn has proven himself in front of him. I don't mind if he dislikes Glenn and rejects him, but to imprison him... That is another matter; my dignity has been trampled upon, as well as my son.''If he did it to ordinary people, maybe it could still be understood, but this is me... Ah, there's one thing I can't shake off from my itchy back.'Arthur was so absorbed in his thoughts that the two y

"Well... well... look who's making such an intense approach, he seems afraid of losing so much that he has to sneak around," a voice from the front door remarked.*Knock**Knock*The man knocked, flashing his fake wide smile. Glenn grimaced as he saw the man approaching; he had planned the perfect punchline for Alyssa, but that serpent messed up the timing."Sorry, Alyssa, I just happened to see the door open. By the way, may I come in?" he asked politely, despite his earlier rude interruption to their conversation.It was evident that he only wanted small talk to make Alyssa forget Glenn's delayed response. Victor didn't want Alyssa to be intrigued by his rival's answer, jeopardizing his position as the primary candidate to obtain the patent."Well, if you're not allowed, are you going to leave?" Glenn retorted.He reached for the tea glass he had placed on the table earlier and took another sip, needing the calm it provided at the moment.Alyssa chuckled, enjoying the dispute betwee

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.

“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

195. The Good Thing
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

Mason and Beatrice's arrival at Glenn's office caused quite a stir, as no one expected the former rival to show up there. Beatrice, looking calm, went to see Irina and Hazel, who happened to be in Glenn's office. Meanwhile, Mason headed straight for the elevator.Hazel, Irina, and Beatrice gathered in the meeting room. 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. Was this something Beatrice should celebrate?Regardless of Mason’s current troubles, maybe he had fought with Eleanor and decided to come back home.Beatrice’s ego raged inside her. A
