Billionaire's Unforgettable Ex-Wife-Chapter 92 - 87: Tell me, is this considered a karmic debt?
Chapter 92: Chapter 87: Tell me, is this considered a karmic debt?
I always thought that although you were pampered, you were simple and honest.
But I could never have imagined that you are actually a liar."
Faye Townsend clenched her teeth, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him.
Hunter Warren’s gaze was filled with profound pain: "Why won’t you explain?"
Faye Townsend closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was a new determination in her gaze.
"So what if I lied to you.
You lied to me too, didn’t you?
When you got together with Zenia Yates behind my back, I never questioned you, did I?
Given that, what right do you have to question me now?"
"Are you seriously telling me your clever brain can’t understand even this trivial matter?
Why would it be Zenia Yates? Don’t you get it?"
"Right, I don’t understand," Faye Townsend declared proudly: "And I don’t want to understand.
All I wish right now is for you to marry her quickly and live happily ever after.
I want to see if you, Hunter Warren, can truly be happier without me, Faye Townsend.
I just want to know if you are never wrong."
"You..." Hunter Warren, facing her proud gaze, truly wished he could strangle her.
But he couldn’t even bring himself to lift his hand to throttle her neck.
"Hunter Warren, listen well, don’t come to me because of my son anymore.
My child is only mine, unrelated to any man.
I have never been a man’s accessory.
Who decrees that my child must have a father?
I can raise my child well all by myself.
I’ve said all I needed to say, now get out of my way."
Hunter Warren looked at her, his anger already ignited.
Faye Townsend ducked low and slipped under his arm.
He turned around and grabbed her wrist as she tried to walk away.
"Faye Townsend, remember this, if you dare marry Oliver Turner, I will ruin you."
Faye Townsend clenched her teeth, shut her eyes, and forcefully pulled her hand away, leaving without looking back.
Watching her defiant demeanor at that moment, Hunter Warren felt a pang of pain in his heart.
She was now like a hedgehog, tightly curled up in her own space, unreachable.
Even though he wanted to forgive her, she never gave herself the chance.
When Faye Townsend returned to the Townsend family villa, it was already dark.
Standing at the villa entrance, she felt overwhelmed.
She leaned against the wall near the door for a long time before finally ringing the doorbell.
The servants had seen her today and recognized her.
They opened the door to let Faye Townsend in.
Uncle Rivers personally came to greet her: "Miss, you’re back."
"Uncle Rivers, where’s my brother?"
Uncle Rivers turned and pointed upstairs: "He came back early this morning and went upstairs."
The Miss sighed: "I’ll go talk to him."
"Miss, have you eaten yet?"
Faye Townsend shook her head.
"Then you go upstairs, I’ll have someone prepare your dinner, and you can come down to eat later."
Faye Townsend pursed her lips: "Thank you, Uncle Rivers."
"Don’t speak so formally, miss, please go upstairs."
Faye Townsend entered the foyer and looked around, noting that the interior style hadn’t changed much.
She went upstairs and knocked on Richard Townsend’s door.
A harsh voice from inside yelled: "Everybody out, don’t bother me."
"Brother, it’s me, let’s talk."
There was silence in the room, but just as Faye Townsend thought Richard didn’t want to deal with her,
the door was opened from the inside.
Seeing Faye Townsend standing close at hand, Richard surveyed her with tightly furrowed brows.
Those eyes seemed to have something to say.
"I’m fine." Faye Townsend said and then stepped into his room.
Richard snorted coldly: "I don’t care whether you have problems or not."
"I know, I just wanted to tell you that," she replied. freeweɓnovel.cøm
She walked over and sat on the couch opposite his bed.
Richard lazily threw himself on the bed: "Get on with whatever you want to talk about, and then get out quickly.
I’m really sick of seeing you."
"Six years ago, when I decided to bring Oliver Turner in to help out, I had already prepared for this day.
If you had changed and improved over these six years, then I would have been content being the Townsend family daughter.
I wouldn’t have interfered with your decisions.
But if you’re still behaving like this after six years,
then I’ll be taking your place.
Six years, and you’ve indeed lived up to my expectations, still as useless as ever.
Do you think having Oliver Turner backing you up means everything is taken care of?
So you indulge in hedonistic activities every day.
You never considered, if one day Oliver stopped helping us, what would happen to the Townsend Corporation, right?"
Richard sat up suddenly, staring furiously at her.
Faye Townsend raised her eyebrows: "Am I wrong?
I really hope I am.
But what about the facts?
Tell me, in these years, have you done even half a thing that’s beneficial for the company’s progress?
Have you generated even a cent of profit for Townsend Corporation?
Besides spending money recklessly, what else can you do?
Take a count yourself, how many girlfriends have you changed over these six years."
"Do you still have any sense of responsibility as the helmsman of the Townsend Corporation?"
"Helmsman? Ha, what a huge joke.
Six years ago, didn’t your contracts already sideline me?
No matter what I say, you would still veto my opinions, wouldn’t you?"
"Your opinions?" Faye Townsend sighed deeply.
"All I know is that four years ago, you fancied a popular actress.
To chase after her, you proposed to establish a film and television company within our corporation.
That suggestion was vetoed by Oliver Turner.
Three years ago, you gambled wildly in Macau, losing 17 million in one night.
Unconvinced, you caused a ruckus in their territory and ended up getting beaten badly.
When you came back, you wanted to develop land in Macau to build a casino, and Oliver Turner scolded you for it.
Two years ago, you wanted to start a side business by opening a bar.
Since it was a small-scale business, Oliver Turner allocated 3 million for you to try it out.
However, within less than four months, while other bars were making profits, only your bar was running at a loss.
You sold the bar at a loss, ending up penniless and becoming the laughingstock of others.
At the beginning of this year, you..."
"Enough, in your eyes, do I not have a single good quality?
You only focus on my failures, completely blind to my merits.
That bar failed due to inappropriate timing; how is that my fault?
I had no clientele, what could I do?
You think I wanted this?"
"You’re treating your fair-weather friends to meals every day.
Even the friends of the friends of your fair-weather friends can dine for free.
It’s no wonder that such a business couldn’t make a profit."
"I had no clientele; if I don’t treat these people, how can I expect them to bring customers into my bar?
Or should I go out and shout for customers myself?"
Faye Townsend smiled wryly: "That’s why I say you are incapable, there are thousands of ways to do marketing.
Yet, you deliberately turn a blind eye to these strategies and choose a path destined for failure.
You might not want to admit it, but the whole world knows that you simply don’t have the knack for business.
Oliver Turner might be competent, but he is not a Townsend after all.
He cannot help us forever.
The Townsend Corporation is the legacy our father spent his lifetime building.
Although you are fond of play, I believe you definitely do not want to see our father’s legacy ruined by us.
These past six years, I have been diligently studying in Switzerland, not to come back and see others managing Townsend Corporation for us.
We are the rightful owners of Townsend Corporation, it should rely solely on us to support it.
I know the board meeting this time was quite sudden.
There were some matters I didn’t get a chance to discuss with you.
Believe it or not, I also only learned about it when I entered the meeting today.
You are the son of the Townsend family, and in the eyes of the world, it should be you handling these assets.
I know you are very upset right now, but I did this for the good of Townsend.
I have never said that I would drive you out of the company once I joined.
I only want what’s best for Townsend Corporation.
When you signed the agreement with Oliver Turner, no one forced you.
You knew you held no shares, yet you still signed greedily for immediate benefits.
Now at the board meeting, you don’t have any decision-making power, do you think there’s any point for you to stay?
You’re just being used as a pawn by those old shareholders."
"Faye," Richard Townsend raised his finger towards Faye Townsend, his hand trembling slightly: "Wasn’t it you who told me not to bother, and to leave these matters to your handling?"
"I told you to leave these matters to me, but when did I ever say to not strive for your own shares?
Can you not always push all the blame onto others?
Any sensible person should realize that you are the heir to the Townsend Corporation.
How could an heir not hold shares?
Did I not call you the night after I attended that banquet?
I asked you why you signed that contract.
What did you say? You said having money to spend was good enough, why bother about so much?
It’s better than going bankrupt, right?
You surely haven’t forgotten what you were doing at the time.
There were women’s voices in your room.
Your thoughts were never on the company.
You don’t seek self-improvement; how am I supposed to manage you?
If I managed you, would you listen?"
Faye Townsend also raised her voice in agitation.
Richard Townsend felt a bit guilty: "Why are you shouting, did you come here today just to quarrel with me?"
Faye Townsend calmed her breathing and rage.
"I didn’t come here to quarrel with you.
I came today to tell you, I haven’t planned to ignore you.
Even if I despise you again, it does not change the fact that you are my brother.
Although you have ignored me for the past six years,
this does not mean I will also ignore you.
I can promise you, after I become the president of Townsend Corporation, I will definitely not treat you unfairly.
I will arrange a very important position for you in the company.
You can, as before, receive a generous compensation from the company every month.
Oliver Turner said that he used to allow you to withdraw one million a month.
This arrangement, I will not change.
Rest assured, as long as Townsend Corporation exists, I will not treat you unfairly.
When we distribute profits at the end of the year, I will take as much as you take.
If you get married and have children, I can give you 20% of my dividends for the upkeep of my future nephews and nieces.
