"A MOTHER'S FAULT IS REVEALED BY HER DAUGHTER."
"SMITH MOTHER AND DAUGHTER IN A SCANDAL"
Different headers were published and used by the media regarding Airis' revelation. It wasn't only the elite circle but including the business world was thrown into shock by this news. As expected, Stones Enterpises' stocks gets affected, including the SkyMu. Everyone related to family and their businesses got worried.
Amira was also busy taking care of her daughter and the mess she created as soon as she was found. They were now in the hospital. Amira and the police decided to conduct a complete, full body check-up on Airis.
On the other hand, Vince finally woke up with Yve still sleeping in his arms. He removed some hair strands that were in her face. She still looks beautiful despite the tears she cried last night. He rose from the bed and looked for his phone. He saw so many missed calls from Edward, Maddie and Sylvan.
"These three… what do they want?" Vince murmured as he dialled Maddie's number first.
"Son! You finally called!! Stones is in grave danger!!" Maddie said in a loud voice that caused Vince to pull himself away from his phone.
"I know, mom. There's no need to worry. I will have it under control in a while." Vince replied.
"You planned this?"
"Hmm…"
"Does Yve know about this?"
"She let me handle her revenge. I'll talk to you later, mom. Yve has just woken up."
"Okay."
Yve is now walking towards him and hugged him.
"Is there anything wrong?"
Yve shook her head and said, "No. But I have missed so many calls from Sylvan. Before calling him back, I wanted to ask what did you do when I heard you talking to mom."
"Hmm… You should sit here and let the media do the talking." Vince said and turned the TV on.
He kissed Yve on the forehead before saying, "I will give Edward and Sylvan a call about the next step. What do you want for breakfast?"
"Fried rice with egg and hotdog. Pair it with hot choco, please."
"Coming right up." Vince walked away to give the two gentlemen a call.
Yve is watching the morning news filled with Airis' outburst to her mother. This has shocked the entire country. But more than the revelation, Yve was shocked by the great effect of the psychological trauma experienced by Airis. When she felt she had heard enough and was about to turn the TV off, a flash report stopped her.
"STONES ENTERPRISES CHANGED THEIR CEO AMIDST THE CONTROVERSY!!"
"MS. YVORY SMITH IS THE NEW CEO OF STONES ENTERPRISES!!"
She can't believe the news she just saw and heard. She wore a long coat but still in her pajamas, she ran downstairs to ask Vince about this.
"Chef, have you seen Mr. Gray?" Yve asked as she opened the doors to the kitchen of the hotel.
At that instant she noticed how all the staff lined up on one side of the kitchen and seemed to be looking at something. She followed them and saw her King cooking the food that she specifically requested.
"Ms. Yve, Mr. Gray is over there.." The chef informed her.
She walked toward her man and asked, "Did you caused the Board to ditch my stepmother?"
"Oh, that. Half, yes?"
"Half?"
"Let's talk about that later as we enjoy the food."
"But…"
"In the meantime, you need to freshen up. You're still wearing your pajamas." Vince looked at her from head to toe and vice versa.
As she followed his gaze, she began to feel embarrassed at how she looked at the moment. She turned around and immediately returned to the suite.

At the hospital

"What do you mean?"
"Madam, I'm sorry. The board held an emergency meeting last night."
"Why didn't you inform me?"
"The maid said that you're already sleeping. Moreover, you also instructed not to be disturbed."
"DAMN!!!" Amira threw her phone with a force enough to cause a severe crack on her phone screen.
"I can't believe in coincidence. That sly b*tch must have planned this using the connection that Vince has with the board. His mother must also be one of her die hard supporters." Amira said and peeked inside the room.
Her daughter has finally calmed down after receiving medication. The doctors and nurses are now treating her external wounds.
"Levi, where are you? What should I do now?" She whispered to herself.
