The Ultimate Revenge System 37. Homicide
After seeing the CCTV footage that showed Anne's concern for Rupert, Bash suddenly thought of Lyra and how he had been neglecting the woman who had faithfully waited for his attention. As far as he could remember, she had not mentioned anything about their severe relationship to his parents. She had a way of winning over his parents and getting closer to them than he ever could.As he thought back, Lyra wasn't a bad wife. ‘If I were the one who fell in the trash like that bastard Rupert, would Lyra still accept and embrace me?’ Bash wondered.He had never wanted to have children because he knew he wouldn't be a good father, having never experienced love and care from his own father. The materialistic form of affection he had received had never made him truly happy. But when he thought about it again, maybe Lyra could make up for his shortcomings. Perhaps Lyra could be a loving mother. Unlike his mother, who was always working and socialising, Lyra waited for him faithfully at home.Th
The Ultimate Revenge System 38. Covering Plot
"We have to clean up this mess, Bash," Margareth ordered, releasing her embrace of her son. She walked toward the room that had once belonged to her son and former daughter-in-law, looking at the bodies of the two individuals indulging in worldly desires. Two people who had betrayed her from behind. There was no remorse or sadness in her heart because she knew that sooner or later, Tom would go to great lengths to kill her once he had obtained what he desired.She pulled her phone out of her pocket and called Zhar. "Where are you?" she inquired.[Still at the boutique, Ma'am.]"Come home immediately."[Of course, Ma'am.]Without hesitation, Zhar readily agreed to Madam's request. Although he was Tom's right-hand person, it was Margareth who recruited and elevated him to his current position. His loyalty was with Margareth and the Merrick lineage, not Tom Pascal.Bash followed his mother. "I will protect you, Mom," he promised, surprising Margareth, who was still trying to figure out h
The Ultimate Revenge System 39. Liliana's Story
"I promise to make Merrick Corp stronger and more successful, to the point where those who wish to overthrow Merrick will be afraid and retreat out of their awareness," Bash declared confidently in front of the journalists.We were still watching it together on my room's television screen. Even Mr. Rocky had joined us. His expression was unreadable to me. How did he feel now that one of the prominent figures, his daughter's murderer, was dead?"Well, he's already throwing shade at you, Danzel," Anne commented, a sentiment Mr. Rocky and Dr. Bertha shared."He might just be bluffing. A Bash couldn't possibly stand alone without Tom and Margareth's support. Though I admit, his acting this time is quite convincing. What about you, Mr. Rocky? Are you still 100% committed to taking down Merrick, or has the burden been lifted from your shoulders, especially now that Bash, not Margareth, is leading?""As long as this city is under Merrick Corp's control, whoever leads it must be brought down,
The Ultimate Revenge System 40. Major Decision
Hundreds of luxurious black cars marched through the city streets, followed by abundant flower arrangements. They were escorted by several police outriders, and other motorists who realised what the march was for pulled over and watched as if it were a parade.Anne and I sat in the backseat of one of the cars driven by Dr. Bertha, who was disguised with a mask, a black fedora, and black gloves. She concealed herself well. According to her confession, this was the first time she had mustered the courage to appear in public since the fire incident."I want to witness those scoundrels being buried in the ground with my own eyes. That way, I can be sure he's really dead," her determination made me smile and respect her resolute decision.Upon arriving at Crescent Cemetery, my steps momentarily halted as I passed the section where the bodies of my three loved ones lay, the pain piercing my heart. Anne held my hand tightly, patting my shoulder to provide comfort."Why, Rupert? Do you recogn
The Ultimate Revenge System 41. Clashes
[Oops, it seems like someone wants to sabotage the presentation with the Mayor.]'Ha! Sneaky. What time?'[In an hour.]'Crap! I'll take a quick shower then.'I left my office and quickly got ready. I didn't take long to arrive at the Mayor's office.'Where to?'[Second floor, turn right.]Two of Bash's henchmen intercepted me as I was about to take the stairs. I purposely dropped a bag filled with money, scattering it on the floor. I pretended to be overwhelmed, tidying up the scattered money, and Bash's men were confused, unsure whether to help. While this chaos diverted their attention, I slipped upstairs.*Dash*I opened the door just as one of Bash's managers was giving a presentation. Bash frowned in surprise as he saw me strolling in, cursing his inept employees for failing to prevent me from attending this meeting."I apologise, Sir. I was slightly delayed due to some schedule sabotage. It seems someone's afraid their proposal won't stand a chance against mine," I quipped."If
The Ultimate Revenge System 42. Accusations
I gazed at Liliana's lifeless body before she was placed into a plastic bag. I tend to see her condition with my own eyes. Our encounter was so brief, yet it left a lasting impression."I misjudged you. I thought you'd give up, but you fought till the end. I'll ensure they take good care of your mother at the hospital. Rest peacefully in your eternal sleep, old friend," I bid farewell in my heart.Lyan had been taken to the police station, while Bash, as he was proven to be absent from the scene when the incident occurred and had ceased managing the Heavenly Club, escaped charges.The police commissioner shook my hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Anderson. You've been a tremendous help these past few days, and the new equipment grant for our laboratory is much appreciated.""My pleasure, Commissioner. I'm glad to assist, and hopefully, with improved work, the service to the community will also be enhanced.""Of course. About the documents you provided me, we're working on it, but please
The Ultimate Revenge System 43. Heartful Oath
"Did it work?" Anne asked as I entered the house."Of course," I answered with a proud smile."Thank God! Besides Tom, Lyan has now also faced the consequences of his actions. Then Bash and Margaret.""And all the important henchmen involved in their wickedness.""That too."'And Lyra,' I thought, adding silently."I'll inform Pops," Anne excused herself to go to her grandfather's room, but I held her back. Anne was even more surprised when I rested my head on her shoulder."Just a moment," I softly requested, and Anne stroked my hair gently."Oops, sorry, um, it seems I forgot something," Dr. Bertha muttered when she found Anne and me in this awkward position."Pfft. Hahaha," both of us burst into laughter because it was amusing to see Dr. Bertha embarrassed, even though we didn't think we were engaging in intimate physical contact.After our laughter subsided, I glanced at my watch, which showed 10:00 PM."Want to go again?" Anne asked with a curious expression."Yes, it's Helen's d
The Ultimate Revenge System 44. Humiliations
"Tonight, there's a fundraising invitation at Dustown Hospital, right?" Anne asked as she entered the pantry, just waking up and yawning, "Ugh, my head hurts so much.""I've made some coffee for you," I pointed to a cup of black coffee on the pantry table."O Heaven! What did I do to deserve you?" Anne praised, sipping her coffee wide-eyed, "This is the best coffee I've ever had! It's even better than the one I usually buy from that mermaid-themed logo café!"I smiled at her compliment. "Well, you don't have many choices in prison, so all you can do is get through the days by learning a lot. Just kidding, I got the recipe from Hammam.""No wonder! You should share it with me so I can recreate the taste of this coffee.""If you like it, I'll make it for you," I offered."Again, what did I do to deserve you?" Anne stared at me with her wide, honey-coloured eyes as if she couldn't believe what I was saying.'Just by looked by you like this is enough,' I thought.[Pfft…] mocked the system
