Chapter 11: Chapter 11

Kimberly didn’t know if it was because of her pregnancy, but she often felt tired these days.

She ordered the driver to lower the windows as they drove back from Royal Club.

The night sky was quiet as a cool breeze blew against Kimberly’s skin. She closed her eyes, intending to take a short nap.

Just as they arrived at the Larson residence, Kimberly heard a cacophony of sounds coming from outside. A woman was crying, things were getting thrown about, and the voice of a man attempting to appease someone rang out.

Smiling coldly, Kimberly thought, “That brat is really unruly. She keeps stirring up trouble.”

It seemed like the glass of cold water from earlier was not enough to make Whitney come to her senses A simple splash of water would not suffice. Kimberly needed an entire bucket when dealing with a thick-skinned woman like Whitney.

William had just returned from attending a social engagement.

So bs came from Whitney as if her hero had arrived. She whined, “Dad, you have to my head in front of my friends. How am I help avenge me! Kimberly splashed water on ure?”

supposed to show my face in Dellmoor in the future?”

She then ran to the windows and yanked them open, acting as if she was going to jump to her death.

William’s soul almost flew out of his body upon seeing that. However, he pretended to be calm on the outside. “Whitney, my sweet daughter. Calm down! I will settle the matter for you. Please relax and come over here.”

William’s wife passed away when Whitney was only 15 years old. Hence, he spoiled hist daughter endlessly and would stop at nothing to get her what she wanted.

He did not even remarry as Whitney refused to let him.

It as late at night at the Larson residence. However, due to the antics of the father- daughter duo, the help did not dare go to bed. They watched the scene play out before them avidly.

Kimberly was now wide awake as her drowsiness vanished upon hearing the noise. It would be a shame to miss the fun. Plus, the two had specially put on this show for her.

10:50 Mon, 22 Jan UD She would eventually have to make an appearance. Otherwise, all the staff gathered here would not get some proper rest for the night.

Kimberly clapped as she walked into Whitney’s room.

“Oh, what a touching scene! Whitney should have joined the film and television industry. What a waste of her talent! This performance is worthy of an Oscar! Don’t you agree, Uncle William?”

Whitney was briefly stunned when she heard Kimberly’s words. After a moment, she continued to threaten to jump off the building.

William could not believe what his niece had just uttered. “Kimberly, how can you say that to your cousin? Even if she wronged you, you shouldn’t have splashed water on her in front of her friends.”

He added, “Please, hurry and help me convince Whitney to get off that window!”

Undaunted, Kimberly took her time strolling toward Whitney. Her high heels clicked as she walked.

That was when Whitney started to panic, as she never intended to jump off.

She had only wanted to throw a tantrum and scare William a little so that he would help her get back at Kimberly.

Whitney was terrified. Kimberly stood so close that a mere nudge from the latter could topple the former off the second floor. Although it wasn’t very high up, and the fall wouldn’t kill Whitney, broken bones were inevitable.

Kimberly widened the gap between the window and the frame as she mocked Whitney, “Let me help you. Surely you can’t fall out there if the windows are barely open.”

She added, “It’s quite late. Are you going to jump or not? You should make up your mind so everyone else can go to bed. Evan, inform Dr. Ayers to send an ambulance.”

Whitney went pale when she heard Kimberly’s words. Flustered and furious, she got down from the window ledge and muttered, “D amn you, Kimberly!”

She wasn’t dumb and knew better than to continue her farce. Not only would it not do her any good, but it would only serve to embarrass her further.

Kimberly was already preparing to leave by then. She also instructed the surrounding staff to disperse.

William’s heart was finally at ease after seeing that his precious daughter had gotten persuaded out of harm’s way.

Felling utterly distressed, he exclaimed, “Whitney, don’t ever do this again! I’m already old and can’t stand such torment. You’ll give me a heart attack.”

It was not long before Whitney acted like a completely different person. She ceased. fooling around and spoke with a stern expression.

“Dad, Kimberly is a ruthless person. We shouldn’t underestimate her. She humiliated me today. Ugh! I can’t stand the thought of being under her authority in the future. As of now, she has just returned, and her parents are no longer here to back her. She has no one. We need to figure out a way to kick her out of Larson Corporation!”

William was surprised. He had no idea his daughter was capable of such schemes at such a young age.

Then again, he gave the matter some thought and found it inevitable, for he knew the law of survival –

only the strongest would make it out alive.

“Although Kimberly doesn’t have many people backing her, her biggest supporter your grandfather. It won’t be easy to get rid of her. Let me plan this carefully. Until then, you shouldn’t start any more conflicts with her. Tomorrow, pack your things, and we’ll move out for the time being. Whitney, you would do well to remember this. A great person must remain calm and control their temper at all times.

He who laughs the last laughs longest. Your uncle was a capable and talented man. Nonetheless, even he lost to me in the end.”

Whitney was bewildered by the last sentence. Despite that, she did not give it much thought.

Little did the two know that Kimberly overheard every word in their conversation.

From the moment she returned, she knew that William was no pushover.

While most people knew she was talented in the business department, they did not know about her other abilities.

Kimberly was also a hacker, and her skills were on par with Vincent’s.

With her natural sensitivity and alertness, she stealthily installed eavesdropping devices in William’s and Whitney’s rooms.

At that moment, Kimberly was sure that her parents had died in an orchestrated car accident.

Holding up her phone, she said, “David, please investigate whether Uncle William is involved with my parent’s accident. Don’t let any potential suspects slip through.”

“Okay. We know that William Larson is not an ordinary person. From our leads, we Chapter II narrowed down the suspects to a man called Fabian Gibson. He was your father’s driver and had taken a day off to return home on the day of the accident, thereby escaping. Afterward, Fabian left the employment of the Larson family. He went overseas just as you returned to the country.”

Kimberly’s instincts told her Fabian was unquestionably involved with her father’s accident. However, from what David said, her father had treated Fabian well to make the latter a private driver. Thus, the murder was unlikely to be caused by a personal grudge Fabian must have been following someone else’s orders.

“Dad, Mom. I’ve finally returned. Rest assured that I’ll find the culprit. I won’t let the people who hurt you get away,” Kimberly vowed.
