💼 Chapter 6 – Revenge Has a Name

The Lin family mansion looked the same from the outside — cold stone, guarded gates, and a garden trimmed like it belonged in a royal museum but to Aria, it felt like a tomb.

She stepped out of her car dressed in black — blazer, skirt, and heels that clicked like a countdown on marble steps.

This was no visit this was a declaration.

The butler froze as he opened the door-Miss Aria? Chairman Lin didn't—

I'm not here to ask, she said, walking past him.

She didn't knock when she entered her father's study.

Chairman Lin looked up from his desk, startled you—what are you doing here?

Hello, Father,she said, voice calm or should I call you what you really are? A coward who sold his daughter for a contract.

He stood quickly watch your mouth—

No,Aria snapped you don't get to lecture me not after what you did.

She threw a folder onto his desk. It landed with a slap.

Inside were printed documents — confidential files from a shell company. One tied to illegal stock transfers, signed under her name five years ago.

I didn't sign these,she said but someone did.

His eyes narrowed where did you get this?

I have friends now,she said ones you can't pay off.

You have no proof those signatures were forged.

Oh?Aria pulled out a USB stick and dropped it next to the folder why don't you plug that in and listen to your own voice authorizing the transfer? Your assistant talks too much when drunk.

Chairman Lin's face turned pale.

Aria leaned forward.

Here's what's going to happen,she said, her voice cold and sharp you're going to transfer my mother's shares in the Lin Group back to me — effective immediately. If you don't, I'll release this to the press, the board, and every investor on your list you're bluffing,he hissed.

Am I?She smiled try me. I've already prepared the email. One click."

The air turned thick.

Finally, he sank into his chair this isn't over, Aria.

No,she said It's just beginning."

Outside, as she stepped into her car, her phone buzzed unknown Number:

You're making powerful enemies, Miss Lin.

But not all of us want to see you fall.

Aria stared at the message.

Who is this?

The reply came instantly.

Unknown:

Let's just say... I owe your mother a debt.

And now, it's your turn to collect.

Her heart skipped.

There was more to this than just business and betrayal.

Someone was watching helping and waiting.

And maybe… her mother's death wasn't an accident after all.

Back at her penthouse, she poured herself a drink and stared at the skyline.

She had won the first round.

Her father was cornered.

But war was just beginning — and Aria Lin was done playing the victim.

She picked up her phone and texted one name.

Liam Chen.

You wanted the truth? I'll give it to you. Meet me tomorrow noon Rooftop of Grand Orchid.

The game had officially changed.

And revenge now had a name.

Hers.
