Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 135~ Telling family

David Williams was confused when his security told him that a woman was there to see him. He wasn't expecting anyone at that time, so he wondered who it could be.

When he allowed them to let her through, his eyes widened when he saw none other than Celeste Anderson Kingsley, Miles Kingsley's wife.

He was shocked to see her at his house. They hadn't met in private for so many years now after a certain incident.

David sighed, gesturing for her to take a seat across from him in his study.

"What makes you think it's going to work this time?" David asked, looking at Celeste. "Ryan isn't easy to defeat."

Celeste smirked. She crossed her legs and said, "By tomorrow, something will happen that will give us an opportunity to get rid of the Kingsley group. I want you to buy into the group but my son should be made the CEO once it becomes yours." David's eyes widened again. He had a question mark on his face as he uttered, "What do you mean? Do you know how much the Kingsley Group is worth? Where do you expect me to get that much money?"

Celeste laughed. She looked at David and replied, "David, I'm not stupid. I know you can't manage to buy into the Kingsley group with your current wealth."

"So then, why-"

"Like I said, something will happen tomorrow that will enable you to buy into the group," Celeste stated. "Aren't you aggrieved that your daughter was pushed into a corner by Ryan Kingsley and his wife? This is your time to get revenge." Hatred flashed through David's eyes. Indeed, he had been upset that his daughter was now a fugitive of the law. Ivy was used to being his little princess. But now, she had to live under a different identity and forever be in hiding.

He clenched his hands into fists as he responded, "I'll make him pay for what he did to my daughter."

Celeste smirked as she remarked, "It's a deal then. We are going to destroy the Kingsleys."

David suddenly frowned. He looked at Celeste and asked, "Why do you want me to buy into the Kingsley group? Why not just take it for yourself?"

Miles would make me the richest woman in this city," Celeste said and gnashed her teeth. "But the fool can't even become the chairman of the group. He has no power... I need plenty of money to buy into the group and I don't have that much money... not even the shares that Miles had are enough to get the
