Chapter 10 Barnett’s Revenge 

After hanging up, he slumped into his chair, staring blankly ahead

For a long time, he sat motionless, lost in thought, before finally rising and stepping out of the study

When he reached the bedroom door, he found himself unable to push it open

The tightly shut door felt like an invisible barrier, separating him from Aurora, who lay inside

He didn’t know what was wrong with him

He thought she deserved what had happened to her. Yet, seeing her like this, his heart felt heavy, aching unbearably

While he hesitated, a servant hurried over. Mr. Elvador, Ms. Elvador’s birthday party is about to start. You’d better head 

over.” 

Barnett hesitated briefly, casting one last, lingering glance at the bedroom door. Finally, he turned away and followed the 

servant

In the banquet hall, Bertha stood surrounded by a crowd, looking every bit like a princess

Chapter 10 Barnett’s Revenge 

She stood before an ornate cake as the guests sang Happy Birthdayin unison

2/8 

When the song ended, she took a deep breath and blew out the candles in one go

In an instant, colorful balloons and streamers filled the air, and everyone cheered, their voices echoing through the hall with endless enthusiasm

Barnett stood amidst the crowd, watching the sea of joyous faces. But all he could think of was Aurora, weak and pale, lying helplessly on the bed

He wanted to smile, but his lips wouldn’t move

As the guests gathered around the cake, laughing and sharing slices, Barnett retreated to a corner by the champagne tower. He grabbed a glass, tilted his head back, and drained it in one go

The champagne trickled down his chin, soaking his collar

He didn’t care. He grabbed another glass, then another, as if trying to drown the pain and guilt gnawing at his heart

Before long, he staggered, the sounds of laughter and conversation around him blurring into a distant hum

Clinging to the last shred of clarity in his foggy mind, he stumbled out of the banquet hall

But before he could reach the bedroom, a violent wave of nausea 

Chapter 10 Barnett’s Revenge 

hit him. He bolted into the bathroom, gripping the sink as he retched violently

When he was done, he leaned heavily against the counter

gasping for air. Gradually, his chaotic mind began to clear

3/8 

He turned on the faucet, splashing cold water onto his face. The icy shock jolted him fully awake

Propping himself against the sink, he looked up at his reflection 

in the mirror

His disheveled hair clung to his forehead, water dripping down his sharp features, making them appear even harsher

He let out a bitter laugh. I didn’t do anything wrong. Why am I torturing myself? I’m insane.” 

Just then, his phone buzzed

He pulled it out. It was Morgan

Barnett wiped his face with his sleeve before answering

Hello.” 

Mr. Elvador, I’ve found the information you wanted.” 

Go ahead.Barnett’s voice was icy

Morgan hesitated

Revenge 

4/8 

Barnett frowned. What’s the matter?” 

WellMr. Elvador, you should prepare yourself. The detailsthey’re not pleasant.” 

Barnett’s chest tightened. He knew Morgan was about to reveal something cruel, but he still forced himself to say, Go on.” 

On the other end, Morgan took a deep breath before describing Aurora’s experiences in prison

Mr. Elvador, Ms. Elvador was beaten almost daily after she was incarcerated. They slapped her, forced her to drink toilet water, deprived her of sleep, and humiliated her. If she disobeyed, they’d pierce her with needles” 

Barnett’s grip on the phone tightened, his breathing ragged. Through gritted teeth, he demanded, Needles? Where would they even get needles in prison?” 

They made her do labor in the prison workshop, so” 

Veins bulged on Barnett’s forehead as he fought to suppress his rage. Go on.” 

The worst was when they broke six batons on her legs, leaving her with fractures. She had to be rushed to the hospital.” 

Barnett’s heart felt like it was being ripped apart. He trembled uncontrollably, his eyes bloodshot

Mr. Elvador, I also discovered that someone deliberately

ordered the inmates to target Ms. Elvador. Those who beat her all had their sentences reduced

A year ago, she was hospitalized again. I couldn’t find out why, but it must have been serious. After her discharge, she was moved to a single cell. No one dared touch her after that.” 

This time, Barnett’s fury burned hotter, refusing to be extinguished

Who?” 

Morgan, having worked with Barnett since he became CEO, understood him well. He immediately realized what Barnett 

meant

It wasMr. Sherwood.” 

Barnett instantly grasped that he meant Adolph Sherwood

Adolph was Camille’s brother

He was also Bertha’s fiancé through a planned marriage

Strictly speaking, Adolph should have been Aurora’s fiancé. After all, Aurora was the real Elvador heiress

The air seemed to freeze

Barnett’s silence stretched on for so long that Morgan tentatively asked, Mr. Elvador?” 

Chapter 10 Barnett’s Revenge 

Cancel all collaborations with Sherwood Group. Launch a fullscale attack on their businesses,Barnett said, his voice

hoarse but as cold as ice

Morgan felt a chill run down his spine

Mr. Elvador, doing that will impact Elvador Group as well.” 

Do as I say. And I don’t want to see those who hurt Aurora leave prison unscathed.” 

Understood.” 

6/8 

Barnett slowly lowered the phone, his arms hanging limply by his sides. His mind was flooded with images of Aurora being beaten and struggling helplessly

She used to be a carefree girl with a bright smile. Now, she was unrecognizable from all the torment

Yes, she had made mistakes, but the law had already sentenced her to five years. He didn’t think she deserved this kind of abuse

After a long time, Barnett left the bathroom

Once again, he stood before the bedroom door. It took considerable effort to steel himself before he pushed it open

But before he could step inside, Aurora’s low, pleading voice reached his ears

I’m sorryI was wrongPlease don’t hit me” 

Chapter 10 Barnett’s Revenge 

7/8 

Her murmured pleas, spoken in the grip of a nightmare, cut into. Barnett like a knife, sapping all his courage

He quickly shut the door, blocking out her voice, and staggered back to the study

The night dragged on, and the study stayed dark

Barnett’s phone buzzed incessantly, ringing for so long that it eventually disconnected

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Joshua was woken by his ringing phone

Groggily groping for it on the nightstand, he answered, Hello?” 

Whatever he heard jolted him awake. He sat up straight in bed, his face thunderous

What?” 

His shout startled Celeste awake

Are you crazy? Why are you yelling in the middle of the night?” 

Joshua’s face was red with anger. Barnett terminated all deals with Sherwood Group. Ten billion dollars vanished overnight!” 

Impossible.” 

How is it impossible? Adolph even called me himself to

demand an explanation.” 

8/8 

Joshua threw the covers off, storming out of the room. Furious

he kicked open Barnett’s bedroom door
