Revenge of the Betrayed Billionaire 83. Scandal
All the wealthy people in Eagertown seemed to be present tonight at the grand hall of Smith Corp. They were associates or acquaintances of Arthur, along with company executives.The theme of tonight's party was "Magical Medicine Night," where guests wore attire reflecting the mysterious nature of science. Women wore dark-themed dresses adorned with stone ornaments, while men wore formal suits with embroidered accents depicting symbols commonly known to scientists.It was Hazel's idea, of course. The grand hall was decorated accordingly, with the entire floor appearing to be above thick smoke from dry ice emanating from faux-heated beaker glasses.The ceiling was adorned with stars and other celestial objects.At the entrance, a photo booth was decorated with replicas of packaging and trademarks from Soulcatcher, and guests were invited to take pictures there.Guests who usually attended formal and stiff events certainly felt nostalgic being treated to the arcade. The line of guests wa

"Young master Smith!" someone called his name from behind in a panicked tone. It was Clad—the production manager, his face looking thoroughly puzzled.Glenn was forced to cut short the interview session at a critical moment. The journalists had already assumed that Soulcatcher wasn't a safe drug. In their minds, they had prepared dramatic headlines to lure netizens into opening their news portals.Approaching Clad, who stood near the entrance, Glenn whispered, "What's going on?"Large beads of sweat dripped from Clad's forehead as he wiped them away with the back of his hand. He seemed hesitant to inform Glenn, but given the gravity of the situation, he had no choice but to tell his event leader."Our logistics truck is missing," he said, struggling to articulate the words."WHAT?!" Glenn asked in disbelief. "How could that happen?" he asked again."The truck was supposed to arrive an hour ago. According to the warehouse staff, the truck had left but lost contact midway. The staff acc

"After knowing his mask now, I had to hold back nausea; just imagining his face makes me want to punch him," Mr Lucas muttered while his wife adjusted the bow tie on his collar.His wife gently patted Mr Lucas's arm, "You're only feeling it now; imagine us who have had to endure it for a long time, combined with your naive attitude," she teased, suppressing a laugh.Mr. Lucas rolled his eyes, "Any advice for holding back the nausea?" he asked again."Unfortunately, there is none; you must endure it however you can. Don't jeopardise our plan, Lucas Walsh," Miriam threatened, pointing her finger at her husband.Hazel laughed at her parents' antics, "You could pretend to cough so he wouldn't dare talk to you, Dad. He, who considers himself higher in status than others, will keep away from you," she suggested later.Mr. Lucas's eyes sparkled, pleased to hear his daughter's idea. But not for long, as his eyes caught the unfinished wallpaper on the wall due to the recent shooting incident.

"Welcome, Mr Victor and Vincent Davis, and thank you to Sir Lucas Walsh for accompanying our honoured guests today; let's give a warm round of applause to our two honoured guests," greeted Glenn from the stage, which was the highlight of the event in the grand hall of Smith Corp.Spotlights illuminated the two, reflexively shielding their eyes with one hand each.All the guests applauded in Glenn's direction, but no friendly faces greeted the two guests; instead, there were cold, expressionless stares as if they were being scrutinised.Victor and Vincent exchanged glances, weighing whether they should continue to participate in the event or turn back, as they could clearly sense they would be made the entertainment for everyone after this.They both agreed to turn back, but as they did, two burly guards blocked the door and shut it, forcing them to stay."Where are you going, Sirs? Our event won't start without you. Surely we wouldn't want to keep people waiting, would we?" Glenn's vo

"Are you serious?! You've got to be kidding me!!" Glenn shouted incredulously after picking up the phone from Rufus."Yeah, don't ask me how, but his statement back then wasn't just empty talk; it was truly infuriating," Rufus complained, his frustration evident in his tone."Tsk, come home then, let's find out together who's behind this if it's true," Glenn suggested.He knew complaining to Rufus at this moment wouldn't solve the problem. Even though hearing the news from Rufus just now left him speechless.With such serious allegations, Victor and Vincent could get out of the investigation after a lawyer representing the mysterious figure visited Detective Benjamin and handed over a bail letter from the court with an official signature."What if I confront Judge Tris?" Rufus proposed."Tris? Tris Karan?" Glenn asked, trying to confirm what he had heard."Yes, unfortunately, she's the one handling Victor's case. She's eccentric and unreadable, tough to approach; I still don't know wh

Glenn's brain quickly processed the scene unfolding before him.‘Amber has met Sebastian?’‘This time, she accepted that old man?’From their interaction, Glenn could see that Amber accepted Sebastian, unlike before when her attitude towards Sebastian was similar to how she looked at Glenn at the beginning of their relationship: disgusted, even though the old man was extremely wealthy."You better keep your eyes off my woman, kid, or you'll lose the ability to see," Sebastian coldly threatened Glenn.Rufus nudged Glenn's arm to bring the young man back to his senses. "Sorry, Mr. Thornhill, my boss seems out of his mind again." Rufus tried to salvage the situation.Glenn complied and kept quiet, and both proceeded to enter the courtroom first."Wait," Sebastian requested, his voice cold and deep enough to send shivers down anyone's spine.Even Victor didn't dare to misbehave in front of his uncle; he stood there like a teenager experiencing puberty for the first time, awkwardly unsure

"What was that earlier?" Don asked from behind the wall, surprising Amber as she returned to the car where Sebastian was waiting.Earlier, she had excused herself to go to the restroom when, in fact, she had intended to give Glenn an ultimatum to stop bothering her from next on.After casting her line in the wrong waters, she finally caught a big fish, so she didn't want to miss this opportunity.Sebastian couldn't know she had been close to Glenn before because she didn't want to be suspected as a spy or related to Smith Corp. She knew the fate of those who dared to disturb Sebastian; she didn't want to be one of them.So when Don, Sebastian's trusted lawyer, caught her, she was truly flustered."W-what do you mean?" she stammered nervously, seeing Don grinning."Don't think you can fool me, you whore. Are you a spy for Smith Corp?" he threatened, immediately making Amber's heart feel like it was about to leap out of her chest."You're making things up! I don't know that man; he appr

"Where are you going?" Uncle asked as he saw Victor heading towards the garage, his Cuban cigar smoking between his black lips as he stared sharply at his nephew.Victor, who was initially confident, shrank back, "I... I'm going to settle things with the one who betrayed me, uncle," he replied.He wasn't sure if his uncle would let him act alone or would command him to lay low for now, as Vincent, his younger brother, suggested.He was so disappointed with Mr. Lucas and Hazel; he had never disturbed them, yet they betrayed and stabbed him in the back.When he lowered his guard precisely because he was near them, they seized the opportunity to attack him.Sebastian weighed his words for a moment, "I don't want you to do it half-heartedly; you'll only tarnish my name," he expressed.Victor appeared radiant, his confidence returning, "Of course, uncle, I will make you proud," Victor declared.The uncle didn't respond, only watching as Victor walked away. His nephew had been abandoned by

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.

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?
