Karma Doesn’t Sleep The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 404

Cloudcrest.

CEO’s Office.

The doors flew open with a bang that echoed down the hall, then slammed shut so hard the ceiling lights rattled. Aiden followed close behind Clive, hardly daring to breathe.

Today was supposed to be Clive’s victory lap. He’d stood before the shareholders, brimming with confidence, talking up the national partnership with Green Wall and teasing a military aviation project he swore he’d land next month. The board was on the verge of buying every word.

No one expected Sammy to step in and blow it all up. Cool as ever, he pointed out that Clive’s Green Wall partnership was barely a foot in the door—not a single piece of the core business. If Green Wall wanted a new partner, they could swap Clive out in a second. And that aviation project? Sammy called it exactly what it was—a fantasy. Not even a draft agreement existed. Clive was all talk.

Everyone knew the rivalry between Clive and Sammy wasn’t new, but this time, Sammy came armed for war. He dropped a stack of Clive’s dirty laundry—cheating rumors, divorce gossip, the nightclub fight, losing the West Medicine account. He made it his mission to bury Clive’s reputation on the spot.

Then Sammy went in for the kill: he demanded Clive be kicked off the board.

Clive wasn’t worried—at first. The shareholders backing Sammy didn’t hold enough shares to touch him.

But out of nowhere, Sammy pulled out another eight percent of voting power—Amelia’s technical shares.

“Mr. Salmeron, please—try to calm down,” Aiden said, his voice shaking as he tried to talk him down.

Clive’s eyes snapped open, blazing with fury. “Get the car. We’re going to West Medicine. Now.”

His ex-wife—she really thought a divorce meant she could just walk away from him? That she could betray him and not pay the price?

Aiden broke out in a cold sweat. With Salmeron like this, if he found Ms. Sadinton, there was no telling what might happen. He couldn’t help but picture Amelia—so gentle, so slender—and his worry only grew.
