Chapter 20 - Jane Foster

“Code red. Check the news now. See you later. Bye.” Arabella quickly hung up the phone.

Farrah was left hanging. She quickly browsed the internet for the latest news in Capital Z.

Big pictures greeted her from last night’s banquet. The biggest picture shocked her. It was her best friend Arabella dancing with Bill Sky and beside it, Arabella was hugging Jayson Hansen on the dance floor.

It was clearly edited and someone with bad intentions was behind it.

The person behind this was obviously wanting to ruin Arabella’s reputation. She was dubbed as ‘Two-timer’ and ‘Gold Digger’.

Farrah felt sorry for her friend. She had really the right to curse the situation.

Farrah’s eyes now wandered to read about her issue, her eyes widened in shock when she was captured kissing Gab in the corner. She instantly flushed.

They were captured half sided, but the thing that shocked her more, the writer mentioned,

‘Gab Kenley of Kenley Corporation spotted with his secret lover.’

Farrah was lost. She was now known as his secret lover. Good thing her name was not mentioned or else her parents and her brother Enrique will go hysterical.

She was doing a French kiss in the public. What a shameful daughter?

Farrah, then realized that she could actually do everything to him against all odds, but the reality knocked her out, Gab was not the man for her. They didn’t share the same thoughts and feelings for each other.

Maybe Gab was used to this kind of publicity since he was a certified playboy. He would not care about it or her at all.

At her office, Arabella was very frustrated. Capital Z was surely eyeing her now.

This was the scandalous gossip of her in her entire life. She was dubbed as a ‘gold-digger and a ‘two-timer’.

How could she live with ease in the future? How can she face her family and friends with that kind of title? How about the company that needed to survive by her supervision?

Lastly, how can she find her husband in the future with this kind of reputation?

The most important question is, who was behind the scandal?

Arabella clenched her fist in anger.

There is no other person behind this, Arabella was certain that it was Bill Sky.

Her phone rang that she was instantly back to her senses.

It was Jason.

Arabella didn’t want to talk to anyone but Jason might bring a solution to this problem so she answered.

“Hello, Jason?” Arabella said in a frustrating voice.

“How dare you! You are a bitch Arabella! You already know that we will be getting married and not only that for god’s sake we are already having a baby. Don’t you have any conscience? I’m done being good to you! Try to steal Jason from me or I’m gonna kill you Bitch!” The angry Margaret was screaming on the other line.

Farrah was stunned by her roaring, but she gathered herself to explain her side.

“Margaret, that’s not what you’re thinking. It’s….” Her voice staggered and before she could continue her words,

“Of course! You wouldn’t admit it, you bitch! You are a dirty woman, but mark my word I will kill you if Jason will leave me for you. I will abort our baby if you steal his father. If I can kill you the world will be more peaceful and happier without a Homewrecker like you! Don’t let me see you or I will ruin your face bitch!” Margaret was hysterically shouting on the other line and she cut the call without giving Arabella a chance to counter.

Farrah felt very weak that her knees instantly stumble to the sofa.

Who wants to ruin her reputation?

Arabella had an elegant and excellent upbringing ever since she was a child. She was the most lovable and talented that all her relatives and family friends loved her.

How can her reputation become like this in just one night?

Arabella’s bashers were flooding online and increasing rapidly.

‘Go to hell!’

‘Bitch!’

‘You m*ther f*cker!’

‘Get lost in this world!’

‘Homewrecker!’

These were just some words thrown to her online.

Her body went numb. She closed her eyes and this time her tears rolled down uncontrollably. Arabella’s heart was crushed into pieces. Margaret’s words were too much for her to bear. Her frustration and anxiety exploded. She was now on the brink of breaking down and all she can do is to let it out by crying.

At the Sky Corporation.

“Sir, our investigation leads to Ms. Trishia Meyer. She used loadsamoney to hire a paparazzi and published the scandal to ruin Miss….” Sky Corporation was not only the leading company but also had excellent and reliable investigators.

“Okay, that’s enough.” Bill Sky cut the investigator. He wasn’t interested in the girl last night.

Last night’s gathering was exclusively for business media only.

Trishia Meyer is a pain in the ass.

She had lots of connections in the media that in one snap of her fingers she could instantly publish such scandals.

She was also the person behind the fake engagement news about Bill Sky and her.

Good thing, she was still alive.

For the sake of friendship and partnership of his father and her father, Senator Meyer, Bill Sky just let her go as per request of his father, Ed Sky, to the exchange of not asking him to marry Jane Foster as he failed to compromise the deal with him last time.

“Sir, what are we going to do with Ms. Trishia Meyer? The investigator asked as Bill Sky was caught in deep thinking.

“Nothing… as of the moment.” Bill Sky’s voice was threatening.

“You may go now.” He slightly raised his hand in the air signing his investigator to exit the room.

“Sir, What about the magazine and news online? Should I ask our communication department to erase and block it?” Sharon, his secretary asked. Usually, news like this was automatically blocked.

“No. As you can see, that’s a good scandal. I’m with a beautiful woman, however, how dare her labelled me as a third party? Teach that nasty girl a lesson that she will never forget. Add more bashers online. She deserves it! “He smirked wickedly.

He was not interested in her especially she had something to do with Jayson Hansen his greatest competitor. She must be something to hooked them up both.

“Got it, sir.” Sharon nodded. ‘Poor girl!’ she thought while exiting his office.

After a while, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Bill Sky replied.

“Darling. I’m here.” His mom excitedly entered his office.

Bill Sky quickly stood up and hugged his mom acknowledging her presence.

“What brought you here Mom?” Her mom seldom visits his office. She just accompanied his dad whenever she stepped into Sky Corporation.

“Aren’t you happy? Did I disturb you?” Her tone was a bit worried.

“Of course not. I’m just surprised that you visit me out of the blue and without a dad.” He smiled.

Of all people in the world, he knows her mom best. She was tender but very fragile that he couldn’t afford to offend.

Her mom sat on the sofa and Debbie and Sharon were serving her snacks as a protocol.

“No. I’m fine Darlings don’t bother.” Shaking her right hand to them. “My son will date me to lunch.” She added with a calming smile.

Bill Sky heard her. The only person that can do it to him is her mom. She was not asking him. It’s more of announcing and leaving him no option. Of course, he wouldn’t dare to hurt his mom’s feelings.

“Cancel all my appointments for the day.” Bill Sky looked at Sharon as saying ‘no buts and ifs.’

He knew her mom, once he approved have lunch with her that means he approved to be with her the whole day.

“Got it. Mr. Bill.” Bill Sky was loaded with appointments today, but Sharon had to do her job.

Sharon had been working in Sky Corporation for over 5 years. She witnessed how Bill Sky worked and never calls any cancellation for his meetings. In the company, he was like a ruthless king lion, but with his mother, he is a loving son. She couldn’t help admiring her Boss more.

“I already made a reservation. Let’s go?” Kelly’s inviting him to go and stopped his works right away.

“Okay, mom.” He quickly got up and put on his black suit and his black ray-ban and strode out with his mom tugging his arm on his side.

They went to an authentic Japanese restaurant.

“How are you darling?” her mom asked him while awaiting their food to be served.

Bill Sky already knew that the new scandal he’s into had already reached his mom.

“I’m fine mom. There’s nothing for you to worry about.” He simply replied to her without any interest in the topic.

“Of course. I’m actually immune to the scandals you’re involved in. Is this Trishia Meyer’s vicious scheme again?” Her mom asked with curiosity and annoyance.

Yes. Kelly Sky never did like that Trishia Meyer. She was good at eyeing a person’s true color. She admitted that Trishia had good genes, but when it comes to the good character it was nowhere to be found. To be the mother of the next heir of Sky Corporation, good character is the most important.

Though Trishia is the daughter of Senator Meyer, who’s a good friend of her husband, they never asked Bill Sky to marry Trishia and they never thought of choosing her either.

This restaurant was actually owned by Gab’s Family. They were always the VIP. So, when her mom said that she reserved it, that means the chef cooked exclusively for them and the restaurant didn’t accept any other guests for the day.

“Tell me, mom. What’s with the invitation today?” Bill Sky didn’t want to beat around the bush. He knew his mom was up for something.

Kelly was not fond of eating outside. She just liked to cook for the family and eat inside the villa that’s why they have a monthly dinner in his parents’ house to grant Kelly’s request. She’ll prefer to invite Bill and cooked for him in the house if she wanted to chat with her son.

Appearing in front of him without his dad and inviting him to eat outside was something that his mother won’t like to do.

“For a change. I guess?” Her mother let out a laugh at her words.

“I just want to see my handsome son.” Kelly smiled sweetly.

“Well, If that’s so. Then your handsome son will not disappoint you.” He smiled at her like a naughty child.

5 Japanese chefs carrying different kinds of Japanese dishes came inside. Filling the dishes on the table, then went out respectfully.

“I think I have to excuse myself for a while. I need to use the restroom.” Kelly quickly stood up and strode towards the restroom. It was located outside their VIP room.

“Don’t wait for me. You can start eating now.” She added without turning her back as she walked out swiftly sliding the door to close.

“Okay.” Bill Sky replied.

He was already hungry, so Bill Sky started eating.

Bill Sky enjoyed the food as he tasted everything on the table.

Then 15 minutes later the door was slid open.

Bill Sky didn’t bother to look up as he expected that his mom was back.

“I’m here. I’m sorry, I’m late.” A female with a tiring voice resonated in the room.

Bill stopped eating. It was not his mom’s voice. Instant annoyance was traced on his face as he was disturbed in enjoying his meal.

When he’s about to look up, the girl had already gotten into the room and sat beside him.

The girl was not looking at him too. Her head was down.

“Who are you?” Bill Sky asked.

She looked up quickly and their eyes met.
