“Hand it over!” Fiona ordered coldly, blocking Aurora’s way.Aurora Immediately felt a huge lump on her throat. It has always happened like this. All the credits for her hard work was being taken by her half sister, the mistress’s daughter, making her rise quickly within the ranks, in addition to their father's help.She has been in MSC even before Fiona graduated. But Fiona was now a senior; a news anchor appearing on the television every time while reporting and recapping news information which Aurora had risked her life to gather, claiming the news credit as hers. During the covid-19 pandemic, it was Aurora who stepped out to gather footage of the people affected and how they were living in medical camps. She also moved down to China to gather information on how West African men were made to carry the corpses of the dead victims without adequate protections. However, most of them, especially the Nigerian counterparts didn't seem to mind risking their lives, just because of the amou
Karen Winthrop continued to pace in his study, running his fingers along his hair at intervals, feeling frustrated. It has been hours yet the doctors were not done with his mother's treatment yet, making him extremely worried.A knock on his door Immediately distracted him, making him turn around.“Who is there?” “Sir, the doctor sent for you.” One of the maids quickly said, hurrying away before Karen could reach the door, not wanting to be a victim of his anger.Karen quickly rushed to the room which the family used as a makeshift hospital for serious emergency cases, containing every modern ICU equipment.“Doctor Jensen, is she okay now?” He asked, the moment he walked in.“I won't assure you that she's okay. We can only watch and wait. We couldn't recover the bullets, they seemed to disappear the moment they hit her body. So, tracing the gun's manufacturer and origins will be impossible. The bullets were made from special materials that vaporize once in the body of the victim. I h
At once, Fiona's mind returned from her fantasies, notifying her of the matters at hand.“What kind of silly question is that? How did I get it then? Did I manufacture it out of thin air? It is bearing the company seal? How dare you stress me like that?” She snapped angrily, making a fanning gesture towards herself.“My apologies madam. But the information and pictures that appeared on the screen are that of another woman.” The woman said with a frown.Fiona's heart Immediately skipped a beat, same with that of her parents and other companions.“What are you talking about? It could be caused by a technical glitch.” Fiona said smoothly like the talker she was.The lady scoffed, same with the rest of the workers in the lobby.“There are no technical glitches in CloudSea, we are above that. We have the best team, we have never experienced a glitch, we are connected to the best tech company in the world. CloudSea is bigger than that. The fault can only come from you. Every card is bound t
Raz soon returned after five minutes, and gave a laptop to Alex who was still sitting in the lobby.He soon began to play the video, watching emotionlessly.On second thought, he connected it to a projector, showing the video of how Fiona got the golden access card.“Call the people from Veneco vanguard. Give them the video clips, and make sure it goes viral in fifteen minutes.” Alex instructed.“Done.” Raz said, pointing to a young man behind the counter, taping how everything was proceeding.“You can't do that! How can you humiliate us like this? Taking such improper videos of us is very wrong. It's also illegal to steal that video from MSC without permission.” Mr Smith thundered from his position.“And you and your daughter are guilty of four count charges, and I'm sending you all straight to prison. Every single one of you that came to cheer her on after watching her batter and steal from a hardworking woman, leaving her half conscious. And since she enjoys kicking people on the c
Hailey drove into the Campbell family's grand mansion, her face streaked with fake tears.She grabbed the box and quickly marched into the house, going straight to the patriarch’s study.“Hailey dear, why are you back so early? Did something happen?” Hailey's mother asked, rushing downstairs.“It's that Eleanor bitch!” She shouted pitifully, making every member of the Campbell's household that was at home start returning to the main house from the various corners of the expansive mansion. Soon, the house was filled with members of Campbell's family who came to listen to Hailey's tale of woes. Her mother even passed a call across to the father, making him leave the office in a haste.Hailey made an exaggerated gesture of barely holding back tears, before stalking towards Grandpa Campbell's study.Before she could reach the study with the horde of gossipers behind her, including the maids, he met her at the passageway, just before his office.“Grandpa!” She wailed, walking towards him
Hailey swallowed nervously, clenching her fists. Informing the rest that Eleanor now had a powerful backing will make them try to bring her back to the family at all costs, which might make her lose the shares she stole from Eleanor before kicking her away. She and her father had made sure Eleanor won't have any gainful employment to ensure that she will forever stay servile, unable to challenge them to recover what she lost.“I don't think your speculations are correct. Eleanor has her bad sides, but she's a kind person, with a long suffering spirit of endurance. She's not the type that will intentionally hurt her family out of spite. You must be mistaken.” The eldest grandson of the Campbell family said with a frown, feeling unhappy about Bennet's manipulations. It was no secret that he wanted to cut off the other branches and keep the entire company for himself.“Fine. Since you all claimed that Eleanor is the one intentionally attacking her family, do you have any proof? I won't l
Grandpa Campbell’s face was immediately ablaze with fury as he stared at Hailey.“Did you manufacture fake evidence against your poor cousin, just so your accusations against her will be believed? How dare you bring a forged evidence before me, you prodigal child?” He roared, his eyes bulging.He suddenly clutched his chest, gasping in pain at the exterior.“Dad!” Eleanor's father shouted in horror, rushing to him.He quickly helped him to sit down, before quickly pouring some warm water from the flask into the old man's mug for him, watching him drink it.“Dad, please don't get angry or shout so much. If you aggravate your heart and blood pressure, what do you want us to do? No matter what, you have to take care of your health first.” He whispered, rubbing the old man's back.Bennet rolled his eyes at what he termed Larry's attempt at sucking up to their father, hoping to revive his already nonexistent spot in the family.'He should just die already and move away if he will continue
Alex nodded in satisfaction as he listened to the things going on in the Campbell's household. Things were indeed going according to plan.“Should we withdraw the remaining support from Campbell's family now?” Raz asked, walking closer to Alex.“No, just wait for a while. Once they're done with their bantering, I will know what decision to make.” Alex said, waving him away.“The other two reporters allowed in are asking why it was suddenly re-scheduled. They have been waiting for a while, but the interview suddenly got canceled. So, of course, they won't have anything good to write about CloudSea corporations.” Raz whispered hesitantly, already knowing what Alex would say.“Just tell them that we caught an MSC reporter, trying to sneak in with a stolen VIP access card. You should know what story to tell them, why are you distracting me?” Alex snapped, going back to what he was doing.Raz simply chuckled and moved away, shaking his head.******“Dad, it's obvious this complaint is crea
