004 Came Was Mine All Along Chapter 182 Chapter 182 Our repeated assurances subsided the tension in the air, ending the meeting on a good note. I didnât take any break and began the research. According to the report, Leo was our prime player in this season, his contract with our company gave us a kickâstart. However, he fell sick, withdrawing from the tournament; his absence left a great impact on us. As my company was solely relying on his fame and power, it was nothing but trash after him.
There was no need to do business with such a failure. The burning inferno of fury burned me inside out as I cursed that culprit, his bbish had destabilized the market. Henry stranded all his duties and came to permanently stay in my Villa, working with me 24/7. Our first priority was to regain our investorsâ credence. We followed the basic rules step by step, communicating with financers through transparency, our aim for accountability impressed them. Then the policy coordination for the credibility, financial reconstructions, and their investment protection were the main agendas of our next few meetings. I tried every single method to protect our mutual interests. Our staff thoroughly concentrated on content distribution to stay conspicuous, countering every false propaganda with facts and logics. The efforts to maintain a positive image also engaged the netizens on social media. Henry ordered his assistant to monitor the market sentiment, allowing us to address the root of the issue, it rectified the falsification to some extent. We spent most of the time pondering over innovative ways to deal with meddlers. But a new issue rose because of it. As we had made work our prime concern, my kids were getting neglected. Jane and Zoe sensed our worries and brought a tray of some snacks to my study room in the evening. âMommy, you havenât eaten anything since morning.â Zoeâs worried voice melted my heart into a puddle as he tiptoed to hand me the tray. My overâsensitive girl was in tears while complaining. âMommy, uncle, you donât even share the meal with us. We feel so lonely.â Their pitiful condition made me realize about my blunders; I hurriedly stretched my arms to hug them. âI am so sorry, my little angels!â Circling their arms around my neck, Jane and Zoe kissed my cheeks, their complaints were endless. âMommy, you donât tell us bedtime stories. Mommy, you donât help us with our homework. Why donât you cook us for anymore, mommy? We havenât eaten good food for ages.â And so on.... Within a week, my kids grew tired of waiting for me, Zoe spoke sadly. âI told you, Jane. You will spend the same life as me here. In dadâs Villa, nanny took care of my every need, and here, Mrs. Doris looked after us. We will be lonely and miserable!â
My little angelsâ heartbreak engulfed me in the darkness of embarrassment, I was ashamed because of disregarding my duties as a mother. Apologizing sincerely, I requested them for a chance. âPlease forgive me, my kids. I was busy with office work. Can you please stop thinking bad? It wonât happen in my life that you will suffer in silence.â This break from my tough routine gave me an opportunity to notice my brotherâs wornâout condition, his swollen red eyes were the result of his tiring exertion. So, after snacks, I asked him. âBrother, though we arenât able to solve this matter yet, it seems that if it goes on like this, you will get sick for sure. Please leave all the tasks and take some rest. Your health is more important than anything else,â 10:07 The Black Swanâs Final Revenge Pirouette The 99th Game Was Mine All Along 80.8% Chapter 182 As rivalries were a norm in every business, I lectured him on the significance of selfâcare. Henry apologized to me sincerely. âI apologize for my incompetence, Laura. I should have known better. Itâs a shame that I am of no help.â Closing the work laptop, he sighed, shaking his head. âI will go home and contact my friends for further assistance. Hopefully, it will be resolved soon.â Although my knight advised me to sleep, I went to the kitchen and cooked food for my children. Jane and Zoe were missing a family gathering for a long time. They became happy to see me back in the role of their loving mother and exclaimed, âWe love you, mommy!â I set the table and served their favorite pasta, hoping to have a fun evening to unwind. Spending some time with my kids indeed lifted a heavy weight off my chest. Jane and Zoe shared their daily routine with me, it was nice to catch up with their schedule. âOur celebration party was lit, mommy. Everyone was praising your efforts.â Zoe showed me the pictures of their academyâs party, puffing his chest with pride. âWe told everyone that you are our mommy. Our fellows were envious ...â These happy chatters popped an idea in my mind. I forwarded their pictures and videos for a social media campaign. We were in dire need to convince the public about our success, this championship was a milestone in my career to prove my worth. I was instructing Echo to upload multiple posts when Jane spoke up, her gloomy voice immediately garnered my attention. âMommy, when will daddy come home?â For a heart stopping moment, I couldnât utter a single word in response to pacify my innocent children. Zoe added another query to voice his agony. âItâs been two weeks and daddy hasnât contacted us. You said that he wasnât kidnapped, but went on a business trip. Whatâs taking him so long?â As the video footage of surveillance cameras had revealed the truth behind Brightâs sudden disappearance, I lied to my kids to dissipate their suspicion at that time. However, Bright didnât come back or even contacted us, starting a new life with his gorgeous fiancé. I found it nearly impossible to repress my heartache and smile forcefully. âOh, I must have forgotten to tell you. Your daddy had called me last week. Hes damn busy.â Blinking rapidly, I pushed back my tears, acting all cool in front of my kids. Brightâs imaginary story was a lifeline for them. They bought my poppycock- easily. âI am so glad that daddy is fine.â Jane held my hand and spoke cheerfully. âNext time, when you talk to daddy, give him our message that we miss him badly. We donât need anything, but you. You are the best daddy in this world.â I felt so had for lying to my little angels, but their glee lessened my guilt. Feeling better, I resumed our bedtime routine and tucked them to their b After putting my kids to sleep, the severity of my lifeâs crisis hit me hard in the quietness of my Villa. I could hear my heart thundering against my rib cage. As I walked towards my room, several memories scattered in every corner of our home enveloped my quivering figure with their warmth. I saw Bright, smiling by the door frame. âFancy a cup of coffee, Laura? Letâs talk about our day together.â The sight of our special spot to enjoy coffee after a long day brought tears to my eyes, we were used to talking for hours while sitting there.
Bright wasnât a flashy person; no lavish dates or expensive dresses could match the purity of his simplicity, Despite having a strong financial and political background, he was a down to earth human. He had won my heart by his considerate gestures of affection. 10:07 The Black Swanâs Final Revenge Pirouette: The 99th Game Was Mine All Along 81.0% Chapter 182 All thanks to my bad luck, sleep was miles away from my eyes, tormenting me with the golden memories of the past.

Deep in my thoughts, I experienced a massive jump scare when a sudden disturbance outside echoed panicked voices in the surroundings, perking up my ears. I couldnât believe my hearing ability as Mrs. Doris spoke sternly. âDonât let that cheater come in. He is Miss Siennaâs fiancé now!â Miss Siennaâs fiancé? Holy crap! Bright?
