A week later, Charles began to carry out his plan. He paid several trusted gossip accounts with many followers on various social media platforms so that the news could be seen and go viral to make Xaviera even more embarrassed.Some of the news that Charles wants to spread is closely related to Ken and Xaviera's relationship. He wants them to feel even more embarrassed and not dare to meet anyone anymore."After this, they will be confused and busy to clarify the news about the scandal that has spread widely. If I stay silent any longer and wait for the first rumors to spread, I'm sure the news will soon sink and not be talked about once new, more exciting news comes out. So, I have to make this news go viral and be seen by many people."Charles sent some messages and evidence of Ken and Xaviera's closeness. In addition, several other photos can make people conclude the extent of their relationship."Yes, I just need to wait for the results. I must prepare snacks and cold drinks to we
Ken gulped harshly, trying to find the most appropriate reason for his father to forgive Xaviera and not kill her."Don't kill Xaviera, Dad. If you kill her, then the revenge plan for the Duke family will be ruined." Ken said quickly. He immediately told the reason that came to his mind without thinking twice."Ruined? The Duke family will be grateful to us because the daughter-in-law who tarnished the family name is dead and won't make any more trouble." Sebastian refuted Ken's words."But Dad-""Why? Do you still love that woman? Yes? Didn't you ever think that this widespread scandal between the two of you would jeopardize not only your lives? But also the entire organization? What if the organization's enemies take advantage of this situation to attack the organization?" Sebastian said in an annoyed tone. He didn't like being argued with, and Ken knew it.During his years of cohabitation with Ken, after the man was dishonorably removed from the Duke's family roster, Sebastian had
Xaviera hurriedly left there. Luckily, her car was parked far enough away and hidden enough that the reporters couldn't find it.After returning to her home, Xaviera began to think about what steps she should take to dampen the news about the scandal."It looks like I'll have to hold a press conference. If I keep quiet, then it's certain that the news will get out of control, and the reporters might even make up more fake news so that people will like and be curious about the news they're spreading."Xaviera picked up her cell phone, she called one of the most famous and highly rated television stations. She made an appointment and asked to make a special program so that she could clarify the news that was out there. With the power she had, the station couldn't refuse."One problem has been solved. Now, it's just a matter of solving the other problem, which is that ignorant nephew." Xaviera lay down her tired body, she began to close her eyes while planning what she should do tomorrow
Charles walked into his room. His eyes fell on the woman sitting casually on the sofa.She was busy flipping through a business magazine on the table."Aunt Xaviera? What's wrong? It's unusual for you to come to my workplace without being invited." Charles smiled mockingly, and he dropped his weight on the work chair. He refused to sit in the same place as his aunt."I'm a member of the Duke family, too, and I've even been a member of this family longer than you. So, I don't need anyone's permission to come here." Xaviera replied in a sarcastic tone. She challenged her nephew, who seemed relaxed, even inclined to look down on her while ignoring her presence in the room."Didn't I give you a choice? Get out of the Duke family nicely, or I will forcibly remove you. With the sentence I said, you should be able to judge that you are no longer a member of the Duke family. It's just a matter of time and then you will officially become a stranger in this family." Charles played with the pen
As the week passed, nothing suspicious happened. From Rose, who was always watching Elizabeth, to Will, who was always stalking Ken's movements, there was no vital information they could get.Charles also didn't get any more pressure from his aunt. Xaviera seemed to have disappeared from her life because she only confined herself to her house after the reporters always stood crowded in front of her house to get information about the scandal that had spread widely."Looks like the time has come." Charles got out of his car. He walked quickly to avoid the reporters or paparazzi who could have been following his movements.Arriving at the building, Charles immediately walked to one of the rooms that displayed a famous TV show that usually provided news about the scandals of celebrities and famous people."Mr. Charles, welcome." A female host extended her hand to shake hands with Charles."Thank you, Miss ...." Charles raised one eyebrow in question."My name is Giselle. I am the host of
Xaviera's eyes bulged as she realized the mistake she had made. She held the press conference to humiliate Charles and ruin her niece's good name. She wanted the people out there who adored Charles to dislike him."How... how did you get here?" Xaviera asked in a trembling tone, a look of shock visible on her face."Me? Of course, exposing all the scandals you've done. Don't you know that the television station I visited to expose all your needs is the same one you went to today?" Charles chuckled. He was delighted when he saw the reaction shown by his aunt."Wh-what?" Xaviera immediately opened her phone and then looked back at the replay of Charles' clarification. Her hands shook as she realized the man's words were true."How can that be? You!" Xaviera walked up to Charles. She intended to punch the man, but her movements were halted as she realized that countless eyes were currently watching her."Why did you stop? Go ahead, hit me." Charles grinned.Xaviera exhaled harshly, then
Charles decided to meet the woman who was none other than Elizabeth. Charles needed more explanation from the woman. Charles met Elizabeth to ask many questions, including asking for an explanation about his older brother who he thought was dead. He also asked who Elizabeth was in favor of. "Elizabeth, can you tell me everything? Actually I already know about you, but I just want to make sure whether the information I get is true or not.""Why are you confirming with me directly? Aren't you afraid that I might lie?""I trust you, especially after you told me the information that I have a brother." Charles said confidently.Elizabeth exhaled her breath. "Alright. I'll explain everything. Where do I start, huh?""I am Xaviera's twin sister, I am married. However, bad luck befell me because I was raped and it really traumatized me a lot. You must know the perpetrator who raped me, right?""Since the rape, I've stopped menstruating and often feel nauseous. I wasn't pregnant at the tim
Xaviera was furious. She felt like her pride was being trampled on. After Charles's treatment of her, she felt very fed up. She went by car to meet up with Ken again. She needed peace of mind and she needed him to help her get revenge on the Duke family quickly. "You'll see, Charles. You think, by dropping me from the Duke family, will make you win? I'll avenge everything after this!" Xaviera had no one here anymore. The Duke family had discarded her and that made her very ashamed. Ken was her only goal at the moment. That man also had to do his part to help her solve this problem. Moments later, she had arrived at Ken's place. Xaviera immediately banged on the door as usual to make people see her."Ken! Open the door! Hurry up or I'll break the door down!" Xaviera was disgusted at the people who saw her. The news of her being dropped from the Duke family must have spread. Especially now that she came again after the news of her scandal had already spread widely. "What's m
