Charles' POV:
Raina's face turned red, while I let go of her, disgusted.
She leaned against the wall, gasping for breath; her eyes, filled with terror.
My mother came to her side and held her. "Are you alright, Raina?"
My mother turned her gaze towards me and said in a reproachful tone, "What the hell are you doing, Charles?"
Ignoring my mother, I looked Raina dead in the eye and said, "I've been too tolerant of you. Pray that the kidnapping has nothing to do with you, or else I will make sure that your every waking moment becomes a living hell."
Raina wiped away her tears and cried, "Charles, I really had nothing to do with that! Your mother can testify that I've been staying at the Moore mansion this whole time, recuperating."
"You know what you've done," I sneered.
I'd rather not hear her talk about her injuries for another second.
After casting her a cold glance, I left.
Once I had left the Moore mansion, I called Richard.
"Buy out all the available shares of the Wilson Group in the market before Adam does it," I ordered.
This whole thing was well-thought-out; from the kidnapping to the sway of public opinion.
The only one who'd benefit from all of this was Adam.
I'd never let that fool threaten Caroline's position. Afterwards, I added firmly, "I don't care if the price is higher than the market price. Do what you must to purchase all the available shares." "Understood, Mr. Moore."
Once the phone call was over, I stepped on the gas.
Upon arriving at the parking lot of Adam's racecourse, I got off the car and took out my phone.
"Amy, purchase ownership of the land near the amusement park the Wilson Group is about to build, regardless of the costs," I said while walking forward.
Starting today, I would cut off Adam's livelihood.
I wanted to ensure that he would never be involved in any project for the rest him life.
'I'm going to make him pay for everything that Caroline has suffered!'
After putting my phone away, I straightened my suit and strode into the racecourse.
Amidst the audience, Adam was talking to the people nearby, visibly excited.
"See that? I told you we should've bet on No. 5! Look at its glorious mane. It'll obviously be the champion."
"I must say, you have a discerning eye. You're looking quite refreshed lately. It seems like you've been having good luck in both business and women."
"Is that true?" I asked, cutting in on their conversation.
Adam turned around, horrified to see me. "Charles, why are you here?"
I glared at him and asked, "Am I not allowed to be here? If I hadn't come, I never would've known how successful you've gotten."
Adam told the people beside him to leave and approached me obsequiously. "Are you here to gamble as well, Charles?" he asked.
I grabbed his collar and pinned him to the railing. "You killed Susan and framed Caroline for the crime, you prick! How dare you show up here and gamble like you did nothing?"
"Charles, do not ruin my good name. You are aware that I was at the groundbreaking ceremony that day, aren't you? You saw me with your own eyes, for God's sake!"
I scoffed at him and grabbed him by the neck.
"Charles, I advice you not to do anything rash. There are CCTV cameras here!" Adam shouted, grabbing my hand.
