Chapter 138 - One Hundred And Thirty-eight : Paving Her Way (1/2)

The third point of view :

”At this rate, you'll grow wrinkles all over your face ” Kim attempted to calm the agitated Christina who was spacing up and down her office in a fit of anger.

”Shut up! ”  Tina spat at her with a fiery glare.

Kim helplessly pressed her lips together, she swore never to joke with that pretentious witch ever again. Rolling her eyes when the witch heiress was not looking, she cursed her over and over in her heart.

Kimberly checked the time on her wristwatch and bit back a profanity when she discovered it was mid-afternoon - today was a waste.

All because of this stupid woman, she calls a busy lawyer to her company and does nothing but throw a tantrum over a man. Unlike Tina who sits in her office and orders people around, Kim had an actual job to return to.

There was no doubt that she would be K-Group heiress because her parents would never hand over the company to Maya. Kim has no competition still, she has to prove to her father that she was worth it else a substitute CEO would be appointed.

Fine Kimberly, take a deep breath, you shouldn't erupt in anger and do something stupid; you still need Tina to succeed, play it cool.

On the other hand, Tina was fuming in anger, she just wanted to transfer her aggression on someone right now.

She couldn't even understand why she called Kim in the first place? Perhaps, looking at her face reminds her of the root of all her problems: that idiot was the sister of that devil spawn called Maya.

Though, they were technically half-sister but who cares! As far as both come from the same womb, they were no different.

K-Group was not on par with Debra Group but that didn't mean she could assault that gold digger physically and go scot-free; Kim was an attorney and had her contacts.

There was no doubt Debra would win the lawsuit if Kim pressed charges against them - Tina had powerful relatives in different tiers of government.

But the buzz generated by the scandal would ruin the company image, threatening her position as the heiress.

Tina was her parent's only child but there was an illegitimate brother as a result of her father not keeping his d*ck in his pants.

Yes, her parents showed preferential treatment as expected; he was not pureblood but her brother was dearly loved by her relatives, posing a huge threat to her.

Underneath that cunning innocence, Tina was sure that the scum of a brother would strike once given an opportunity, which was why she needed Niklaus desperately.

Yes, she loves Niklaus with all her heart but he was essential in solidifying her position; being the madam of the Spencer Group was one hell of an accomplishment and a fairytale every woman fantasized.

Tina would never let go of him, no other woman but she deserves Niklaus.

Once they get married, she would merge both companies, and then, no one would question her authority - not even her family.

Tina glanced up at Kim thoughtfully, for now, she would torture her slowly and subtly to fulfill her bloodthirst moreover, her dirty jobs needed a cleaner.

”Are you done now?” Kim asked her when she plopped down on the sofa in her office.

Tina smirked and spoke with a haughty tone, ”Why? Do you want to leave already? ”

”I'm not supposed to leave? ” Kim retorted, the gleam in her eye, and her tone was apparently a challenge.

Both eyes met and collided, they knew what was on each other's mind. Why not?

The two of them were selfish and sly individuals who had to join forces to accomplish a common goal: eradicate Maya. Other than that, there was no love lost between them.

Kim knew she was just a pawn in Tina's ploy to destroy her half-sister from the initial start, so she had no right to complain about the unfair treatment meted out on her.

But that doesn't mean she would allow herself to be treated like a rag doll, she had her own limit too.

Tina knew she was endangering herself by colliding with someone as smart as her - if not smarter. But sometimes, the most dangerous place was also the safest place.

Beside to defeat her enemy, she needed someone who knew her from inside out; household enemies were the best.

”So Niklaus humiliated you? ” Kim changed the topic, arguing with Tina was not going to lead her anywhere.

Rippling anger coursed through Tina's vein, she clenched her shaking fist and bit down on her bottom lips, she would never forget today!

She had thought Niklaus was joking when he had told her to discuss the details of the engagement party with his secretary; he truly meant it.

Earlier she had tried calling his line but he refused to pick up, so she decided to go find him in his office.

Sadly for her, Tina was denied entrance to his office by his security and was directed to his secretary instead.

Remembering that morning incident brought back the anger, she had never been disgraced like that in her entire life!

Kim's lips tilted upward, it seems anger and jealousy were the only emotion that could ruffle this cool-headed pretender.

”So what are you going to do? By chance, don't tell me you would take that humiliation lying down?”

Tina sprang to her feet and scoffed under her breath, ”You talk as if you don't know me ”

”I know, but you can't touch Niklaus, you might as well just sign your death certificate, ” Kim told her but was subtly inciting her to take action.

Tina threw her head back and released an evil cackle that made the hairs on Kim's arm stand on edge.

Her eyes darkened, ”Yes, you're right, I can't touch Niklaus but I can harm the little bitch he treasures - body and soul.”

Kim stood to her feet with a white sheet of paper in her hand, this was the moment she'd been waiting for,

”Thought so too which is why I have this important news” She handed the paper to Tina who had a curious look on her face.
