Chapter 9\u00a0<\/p>\n
The conference room went dead silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone sat there shell-shocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After several seconds, someone finally spoke, their voice trembling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Morgan\u2026 are you serious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI never joke.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Truth was after Kaia got expelled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019d had people watching her every move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because I knew-with how vicious she was-she\u2019d never just let it go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sure enough, backed into a corner, she found some sketchy underground clinic. Wanted liposuction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t have money.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So she made a deal with the clinic owner-\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once she got her looks back, she\u2019d give him her V-card.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What she didn\u2019t know: that black-market clinic specialized in cheap plastic surgery for escorts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the owner? He\u2019d already caught HIV from messing around with those girls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not long after Kaia \u201cpaid\u201d him, she started running low fevers and got rashes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she just figured it was part of post-op recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So when she carefully staged that whole \u201ctaking the knife\u201d scene and wormed her way back to Grayson, I just let it play out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was waiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Waiting for the perfect moment to nail them both for good.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Blackwell Corp didn\u2019t just have one heir.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A golden boy with a dirty disease?\u00a0<\/p>\n
To those uncles and cousins circling like vultures, what kind of threat was he anymore?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d just become the family\u2019s biggest scandal. A pawn ready to be sacrificed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And a Blackwell family drowning in disgrace-\u00a0<\/p>\n
how could they still crush us?\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the dead silence came something else-\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 9\u00a0<\/p>\n
barely restrained ecstasy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The shareholder who\u2019d been screaming at me minutes ago now looked at me like I was a goddess.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Half an hour later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first wave of news my assistant released crashed the entire internet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Headline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Blackwell Heir\u2019s Fianc\u00e9e\u2019s Dirty Deal: Trading Her Body for Beauty \u2013 Intimate Ties with an HIV-Positive Clinic Owner\u00a0<\/p>\n
Attached: every sordid detail of Kaia\u2019s transaction with the clinic owner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Including his hospital-confirmed HIV diagnosis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The internet exploded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
