His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1224 The Corporation Revived

"Enough, Rachel Bai! Don't pretend to be innocent anymore. I know you don't love me—you just use

me as a tool for your vengeance. Take it easy, now. I haven't wronged you. I hope you understand that I

won't spare you the moment you try to threaten me."

On a high from his revenge being achieved, Lance seemed excited as he spoke.

From his tone, Rachel couldn't find any sign of his wife knowing about their affair.

"Well, Mr. Zhan, seems like you don't work with me anymore. Are you not afraid that I will release those

photos and videos?" Realizing that sweet words would no longer work on him, Rachel let her real self

surface.

"Ha! You think I didn't know about your little ploy? If you had any common sense, you'd know I wouldn't

be talking to you like this if I thought you still had something over me," Lance said as he grinned. In his

eyes, Rachel was far too young and naive to be any real threat.

"What are you saying?"

Living up to Lance's expectations, Rachel was left shocked by his mocking. It was a hard blow to her—

if he refused to help her any longer, she would have no way to push through with her plan.

"It's simple. What you have in your hands right now isn't a threat to me at all. Rachel Bai…you're really

not cute. If you had been with me wholeheartedly, I wouldn't even hesitate to help you. But all this time,

you've only cared for Charles Lu. Since it's him you're in love with, why are you asking me for help?"

Compared to the sweet words she was used to hearing from him, his current words were truly harsh to

her ears, like a knife stabbing her in the back.

"Fine. Since you couldn't care less about this now, we can end this conversation. You want me to

publish your secrets so you can grow even more famous, don't you? I'll do it as you will, then," probed

Rachel. With the way he acted, Rachel assumed that Lance actually wanted her to give him those

things and his harsh words were just to keep up his carefree attitude.

If Lance was truly concerned about it, though, he wouldn't have had to pretend at all.

"Ha! Do as you like. Let's see what consequences you'll have to face." With a huge grin, Lance hung

up.

The warm and happy days they spent together in Silver Corporation were still fresh in Rachel's mind,

but it seemed as though Lance had completely erased them from his memory in a blink.

The more she thought about it, the more Rachel felt disappointed.

There was no time for her to get stuck in disappointment, though. Her priority had to be publishing the

photos in her hand—since Lance deprived her of her chance to lead a happy life, she would destroy his

life too.

Since he told her to do as she liked, nothing was stopping her anymore.

If Lance wasn't afraid, she wasn't worried either. It wasn't her first time to get involved in such scandals

after all.

To her surprise, though, when she began calling various media and reporters, nobody responded.

Whenever someone picked up the phone, as soon as they found out it was Rachel, they hung up

immediately.

It left Rachel confused until she recalled Lance's confidence from the earlier conversation.

'Lance…he must have arranged everything. He definitely paid off the media to ignore my calls.'

Smart as she was, even she never expected Lance's attitude toward her to do a complete one-eighty.

Suddenly, she despised him for his cold heart and craftiness—they just slept together a few days ago

and he was capable of treating her so differently soon after. Regret washed over her for not having

taken initiative earlier and publishing the video to humiliate the jerk.

Now, no one would publish her material and she was no longer any threat to Lance. What could she do

to turn the situation around?

'Damn it! That liar!' she cursed in her mind. Having driven even Holley away, she had no one by her

side to ask for help from.

Feeling so desperate and cold, she couldn't stop shaking. After a long while, an idea finally came to NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

her. Since she had enough time, she decided to wait. As long as she was still alive, she decided she

would find a way to get her revenge on Lance.

Meanwhile, Holley had already picked up all her personal belongings in the office and left Tarsan

Corporation.

As she sat in the cab, she got even angrier the more she thought about what happened to her.

Even though she helped Rachel earnestly, the latter never appreciated her efforts. With that in mind,

she finally decided that there was no longer any reason for her to stay and endure Rachel's torment

any longer.

All she wanted to do now was see what results Rachel would achieve without her help.

Stuck in that thought, Holley pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

"Bernard, call off the plan," she commanded.

As the man on the other end of the line agreed, a mischievous grin appeared on Holley's face—she

had made up her mind about what to do next.

Rachel's ego sparked Holley's hate for her.

Even when Rachel was at fault for others' troubles, she always found a way to blame someone else. It

seemed as though she considered herself a queen, but Holley was tired of flattering her.

The only reason why she had endured Rachel's bad temper was that the latter served useful for her.

However, now, she had made the decision to keep her distance and spectate the fate of Tarsan

Corporation.

In the hospital

After being taken care of by Cassie for a couple of days, Nick finally realized her feelings for him. Even

so, he couldn't promise to marry her and he worried that what she held in her heart for him would soon

turn to pain.

Lying in bed with his eyes closed, Nick couldn't fall asleep with all the thoughts running through his

head. Right when the program was about to succeed, he fell ill and had to put all of his work on pause.

Although Bob had taken part in the program, he hadn't taken on important tasks, leaving him unfamiliar

with the important details. Since he couldn't leave the rest of the work to Bob, Nick's only choice was to

deal with the program himself after getting discharged.

Ever the workaholic, Nick was already carefully going through all the things he had to prepare for in his

mind. For each task, he had a clear plan about how to operate and what kind of resources he required.

Mentally listing down all the things he needed brought a smile to his face and finally, he fell asleep.

His dream was an image of himself standing on a huge stage, ready to accept an award. Finally, his

program was completed—it won him the biggest prize in his field. Winning the award merited him

several entrepreneurs who invested in his program while the government provided abundant funding

for him as well.

With that, his corporation was revived beyond expectations.
