Chapter 38
“This is insane,” Mr. Wilson sighed heavily as soon as their sales market dropped and the clients were immediately pulling out, afraid to be tangled by their problems with the Sullivans.
Shane was sitting on the sofa while crossing her arms as she was ammoned by her father, who looked so problematic. She was still in a rage, and she wasn’t content that she didn’t even laya finger on Ciara. She wanted to hurt her in any way to remind her of what she had done to her in the past.
“Shane, have you seen the impact of your drastic decision?” Mr. Wilson looked at his daughter critically. “You’ve gone into the event of the Sullivan’s daughter and made a ruckus there!”
Shane’s shoulder jumped when her father’s voice thundered.
How
“Dad! That woman was the reason why I had a miscarriage years ago! That woman was a murderer of someone’s child! He was I supposed to react after seeing her for how many years? Embrace her?”
Mr. Wilson’s brows are knit. He was on the verge of shouting at her, but as soon as he saw the tears in her eyes and how she cried in her explanation, he calmed down a bit.
Her mother went to her and sat beside her while Mr. Wilson pinched the bridge of his nose problematically.
“The Haynes will lend a hand to us,
hon.
Don’t worry too much about it,” Mrs. Wilson said.
“Don’t worry? When we are now in a state of bankruptcy? The Sullivans are well-known to be monsters in business, Hailey. And now, they strike us ruthlessly. Our business is at stake, and if this isn’t taken care of, it will be our greatest downfall.”
Shane cried upon seeing how deep a problem her father was. Mrs. Wilson sighed heavily, as she could see the main problem arising for them. They were having their greatest problem. If it weren’t solved, they might lose a lot of millions, which they are currently losing at the moment.
“I will call Callum. He will help us with this,” Shane stated as she took her phone out.
Mr. Wilson shook his head while Mrs. Wilson looked at her daughter problematically, her eyes twinkling with concern.
Shane called Callum, who answered her call
“Callum,” her voice trembled while calling his name.
“What is it?” Callum responded.
“Callum, we need your help so badly. The Sullivans-that bitch-they strike us. My father is now having a major problem with the business because of the Sullivan. Please, Callum, I really need you right now.” she cried.
Callum sighed. A long silence echoed across the room which made Shane be nervous.
“Callum?” She called for him. Her voice was shaky, a sign that she was at a point of panic.
Shane couldn’t help but start thinking of so many negative things as Callum refused to answer.
Is he siding with that bitch now?
“Why are you
not answering? Don’t tell me that you are really trying to win over that bitch, huh?! After what she did to me?! How dare you, Callum!” She was already screaming and her parents were trying to calm her down.
“Calm down, Shane. I will tell my father what he can do about this.” Callum spoke, with a resignation in his voice but to Shance, it was like a victory that she couldn’t help but cheer.

Shane smiled and nodded as she looked at her parents.
“Alright, Callum. Please. I need you right now. Can you pick me up?”
“Alright,” Callum said.
Shane smiled. Callum has always been with her through ups and downs. She knew that she would always be fine, as long as
she had him.
That night, Callum went to her and picked her up. As soon as she slipped into the front seat, she leaned closer and hugged Callum as she cried tremendously.
“She reminded me of my trauma, Callum. I really wanted to ruin her and see her suffer too. How dare she come back with a daughter with her! She deserves to suffer too! After what she had done, without being accountable for it, and with no remorse, how dare she act like she was the victim!” she cried in his arms.
Callum sighed and caressed her back. “I’d take care of everything Shane.”
Shane shook her head. “No. You might have fallen for that bitch!! know her tactics! I know what she was planning! She came back to get you! To have you! I could see through her plans!”
Callum sighted as he only listened. Shane lifted her head and looked at him wearily.
Callum knew how bad Shane’s temper had been the past years. And he had been trying his best to tame her to avoid the worst-case scenario. Deep inside, he was guilty that she lost her child and this was his little way of repenting for that guilt.
“Can you see how cunning she was, Callum? She played her cards so well! She hid her real identity because she might be a spy of their clan all along! She might be spying on you! She doesn’t trust you that she didn’t tell you about it because she was thinking you might use her!”
Callum only looked at her, listening he doesn’t want to trigger her.
“So don’t fall for her tactics, Callum. She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing! She is pretending! Everyone must know how cunning/ that woman is! She must taste her own downfall!”
Callum licked his lips as the unreadable expression on his face etched.
“Don’t get too close to her again. Don’t fall for her. Don’t…be blinded by her beauty. I know your plans and I will trust you for dropping our company, but Callum, that woman is very cunning!”
“Don’t wo
‘t worry too much about me, Shane. I am doing what’s best for everyone.”
Shane looked at him gently. Her tears trickled down her cheeks as Callum wiped them off.
“So leave her all to me. Don’t exhaust yourself. Leave everything to me, okay?”
Shane nodded slowly. “Are you mad at me too? My father is quite mad, but my mom understands. But Lknow you will help us, right?”
Callum nodded without hesitation.
“Yes, I will.”
Shane smiled beaningly and hugged him again. “I really don’t know what to do without you, Callum. You are all everything I have. Please don’t leave me. Don’t be deceived by that woman.”
“I won’t,” Callum said nonchalantly.
Shane calmed down. For the past few years, Callum has always been by her side. He showed support, especially when the

baby died. It was he who made sure she was going to be fine. It was he who cared. It was he who took care of her.

She thought that after what happened, she would fully move on, but after seeing Ciara with her daughter, she remembered that she was supposed to have a child as well if only Ciara didn’t push her if only Ciara didn’t kill her child.
Her anger for Ciara was already so immeasurable that she wanted to show her she would never forgive her or forget what she had done to her unless she saw her suffering too. And she knew whom to use very well to hurt her. Because she knew, Callum would always choose her over anything else. Callum would always prioritize her.
She wanted to strike Ciara until she was left with nothing…until she felt the pain she felt as a mother who lost her child…until she begged for forgiveness, which she would never ever give
“The Haynes just took Wilson as part of them again,” Serra reported as soon as Ciara called for another family meeting.
After hearing it, she could really tell that Callum would never turn his back on Shane, and she wasn’t wrong. Because it just showed that he would always be his knight in shining armor.
She immediately saw a text from Callum.
Unknown:
We will be raking the Wilsons’ shares to save their dying company. But I will only do it to fully take over and control them so I can completely tame them.
Unknown:
I am not choosing to side with her. I am doing this for us. I just need a bit more time. Trust me.
The last sentence she read was just too hard. Because how could she even trust the man who broke her trust a long time ago, right in front of her eyes?
But, as she said to herself, she wanted to try it. Though she would be more cautious, she would make sure that Callum wouldn’t be able to hurt her daughter or even touch her.
She was torn between trusting him or just completely shutting him down. But when he kneeled in front of her and asked for her forgiveness, she saw the sincerity in him, and she wanted to give him a chance, at least so Callum would show he deserved it.
“What is this all about? Are we going to plan on striking them? Because I would be very down for this war. I’ve got all the weapons with me,” Chance said while loosening his tie and taking his seat.
Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan just entered as well, including Louis, who’s still in his business suit. They were all dressed like they just ditched an important meeting in the company so they could listen to Ciara’s demands.
As soon as everyone took their seat and was ready to listen, Ciara looked at them seriously.
“So… I’m planning to release the first-ever brand of CARA in France,” she started.
Everyone looked at each other. Serra was nodding as she looked satisfied with her plans. Chance nodded as well.
“Your market sales reach the top after the event. So go ahead. That’s a nice strategy since there were a lot of people interested in your own brand,” Mr. Sullivan stated.
“And other than that, the main reason is that Cara wants us to go back to France. She doesn’t want to be here anymore. We might go home.”
