Chapter 264
James had been lost in thought for a long time. The more he thought, the more his heart ached,
Finally, he took a deep breath, his resolve hardening. He had to make things right.
He would find a way to atone for his mistakes.
And more than anything, he hoped–his sister would one day forgive him.
When Caitlin woke up, it was already mid morning the next day.
She felt much better after a full night’s rest. After getting ready, the first thing she did was rush to the hospital to check on Quincy
He still hadn’t woken up.
Faith was still there, keeping watch.
“Faith, 17
I stay here now. Go home and get some rest.TM
Faith nodded and left the hospital
Standing outside the ICU, Caitlin gazed through the glass at Quincy lying motionless on the hospital bed. Her heart twisted painfully.
She opened her palm, looking at the brass whistle in her hand. The memories surfaced–her little brother running around, happily blowing his whistle.
Harrison… please wake up soon.
Tears welled in her eyes. She wanted him back.
Once he woke up, they would search for their mother together.
A short distance away, behind a pillar, James was watching.
His chest ached as if someone had stabbed him.
His family was right there, just a few steps away.
And yet he had lost the right to reunite with them.
But he wouldn’t give up.
Caitlin, just wait for me.
After silently watching her for a moment, James turned and disappeared into the shadows.
Caitlin stayed at the hospital for over an hour until Yosef’s men arrived to take her place.
She called Yoset. “How’s everything on your end?”
“Everything is ready. Just waiting for you to sign
“I’ll be there soon
Chapter 254
Leaving the ICU, she exited the hospital only to unexpectedly run into lamine and her mother, Medan
Jasmine was in a hospital gown, accompanied by Megan. They had just finished a CT scan and were on their way back to the hospital room.
To avoid being recognized, Jasmine wore a hat but the moment Caillin spotted Megan, she immediately knew who was standing beside her.
The two women were chatting as they walked.
“Good news! LIG has found a powerful backer. 4EVER Capital has invested in LIG. Our company is going to be stronger than ever”
“That’s great Dad won’t have to worry anymore!”
Just as they were speaking, Jasmine liked her gaz–and from
The elegant woman walking toward them made her gasp out loud.
Jasmine stiffened, her body trembling. She came to an abrupt stop
“Why are you here? What… what do you want?!”
Megan’s expression tensed at the sight of Caitlin Fear flickered in her eyes.
She thought Caitlin had come to torment them again.

Caitlin’s gaze swept ove
Jasmine’s anger erupted.
YOU
-you nained me! You destroyed my face, my body!”
Caitlin arched a brow. “Your “body“? Please. That was just the result of plastic surgery in Country. You can always go get another one.”
You !”
Jasmine was fuming
She wanted to lash out–but she wasn’t Caitlin’s match, not physically, not verbally.
She could only stand there, watching helplessly as Caitlin walked away, unbothered.
As soon as Caitlin’s figure disappeared, Jasmine burst into tears
“Mom, she’s rained my entire life! What am I supposed to do now?”
Megan consoled her, “Jasmine, as long as we have money, we can fix everything. If we need to, we’ll go back to H Country I spend every last penny if

Hearing her mother’s determination, Jasmine finally felt a sliver of relief.
“Mom, don’t tell Scott about me going to H Country
“Of course I go with you, and we won’t say a word to him. To be honest, I don’t even know what he’s been up t

Jasmine’s face darkened. “That bastard! He’s probably disgusted with my scars and don’t want to see me anymore!”
“Forget him! His family is bankrupt anyway–Scott is worthless. Listen to me, we’ll go to Country tomomow. Once you’re beautiful again, mon will be

Thinking about H Country’s advanced plastic surgery, Jasmine regained her will to fight.
Her battle with Caitlin wasn’t over yet.
Just wait
She would rise again.
CL Group Headquarters
In the largest conference hall, Yosef and the CL Group executives were meeting with 4EVER Capital’s delegation
After extensive negotiations, both sides had reached a final agreement.
At the signing stage, Yosef addressed the group. “Please wait a moment. We need to wait for our boss before we proceed.”
Garrett, the representative of 4EVER Capital, was stunned
“Wait…you’re not the boss of CL Group?”
Yosef laughed. “Not at all. I’m just an employer.”
Garrett’s shock deepened.
The CEO of CL Group–calling himself an “employee“?
Then… who was the real power behind the company!
As the 4EVER Capital representatives exchanged puzzled looks, the conference room doors suddenly swung open.
A group of men strede inside, standing at attention,
Then, a tall woman in a sleek black suit and tailored black trousers walked in.
Her commanding presence instantly filled the room.
Garrett and his team were floored.
She was young Stunning. Unforgettable.
Recognition struck like lightning.
Garrett had seen her before–at the Foader Family’s 50th–anniversary banquet.
She was the “Lady in Purple Master Han had spoken of–the one who had saved Terry from a deadly late.

Garrett was thunderstruck.
“Wait… are you telling me that Caitlin is the real owner of CL Group!”
Yosef nodded. “That’s right. She’s our boss.”
