1 called Harry as soon as I got into the car. He ignored me once or twice, but by the third attempt, he finally answered.
“What the hell?! I’m busy!” he snapped
“I pray to God you’re busy being Interrogated by the IRS,” shot back sharply.
He feigned shock. “What are you talking about?”
I snickered, my doubt clear. “You set me up, Harry fucking ones. Time for your comeuppance.
“How dare you swear at your own father’s name like that, you bitch?!” he raged, grasping at straws.
“Fuck you! You’ve never treated me like a daughter, and you’ve never hesitated to hurl abuse at me! Calling you an asshole is an insult to anuses worldwide!”
“Can it, bitch! I raised you!”
“Well, as thanks for raising me, I’ve prepared a gift you’ve been dying for. Where are you?
Harry was quiet for a moment. He was likely cautious, but in the end, his desire to see me at my most pathetic probably won out. Or maybe he was thirsty for more chances to insult me.
Either way,
he relented. “Nation Trade Center, Block B, the 16th floor. Majesty Arise Inc.”
I understood instantly. “A new company?”
“None of your business.”
I snickered and hung up. Then I made a few more calls.
It was time for the literal Avengers to assemble.
We arrived at the Nation Trade Center.
I got the four security guards to follow me into the building but told them to stay outside the office until it was time.
“Don’t show yourselves first, boys. Only step in if I’m in danger,” I explained. “Consider this overtime, so your hourly wage is tripled. If any of you get hurt, I’ll cover the hospital and therapy bills too.”
“Got it, Miss Jones. We know what to do.”
“Good,”
The elevator door dinged open. As soon as I stepped out and turned, I saw “Majesty Arise Inc.” in gilded letters on the wall.
Harry sure knew how to squeeze every drop of blood out of his old, failing company before starting a new one. But at least it looked like this new venture had enough funding With this, he’d have the resources to clean up the mess he left at Harbinger Inc.
If he actually went bankrupt, though, I could end up getting dragged down with him.
I passed through the office, and no one stopped me. The workers were all just going about their business. I asked one of them where Harry’s office was.

I was about to enter when I heard voices from inside. I immediately placed my phone close to the door to record.
“Imprisonment is too bloody easy for her! She killed Maddle–and Maddie isn’t coming back because of her! She should die! Kill her in a crash! Then take her company!”
It was Cameron, howling with both tears and malice.
I frowned. God, she wanted me dead?
“Are you out of your mind? You can’t kill someone and just expect to get away with it! And she hasn’t even dissolved her civil partnership with Edward yet. That fashion house will go to him if she dies!”
“Fuck! Nothing’s fair! Why did the daughter I raised and loved for years have to die so young, while this bitch’s life keeps getting better? She must have stolenevery fortune and blessing that should’ve gone to Maddie! I just know it!” Cameron shrieked.
“I’m helping you avenge Maddie, aren’t I?”
“Helping me?! You make it sound like she’s not your daughter!”
“Alright, calm down… She’s coming to see me in a minute. You should go home for now…”
