His Bride, Her Revenge-Chapter 50: Behind Closed Doors

The hours leading up to the press release were a blur. Cambria barely slept, her mind racing through every possible scenario as she prepared to reveal Evelyn Stone’s empire of lies to the world. Every detail mattered. Every move counted. But despite the weight of the moment, there was a calm in her quiet resolve. This wasn’t just a fight for control. This was personal.

The world had always been quick to underestimate her, to see her as nothing more than a pawn in someone else’s game. But they were wrong. Cambria had spent years hiding in plain sight, building her empire in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike. And now, the time has come.

"Are we ready?" Cambria’s voice was steady, but beneath it was the crackle of excitement, of a plan finally coming together.

Knox nodded, his face hard with determination. "We’re set. The press release is ready to go, the evidence is in place, and we’ve got the media outlets lined up to break the story. It’s time."

Cambria turned to the window, looking out at the skyline of Manhattan, the city that had been both her home and her battleground. The irony wasn’t lost on her; the very empire she had once been a part of was now in shambles, and she was the one who was going to bring it all down. But in the process, she knew she was also reclaiming everything she had lost: her family’s legacy, her dignity, and her future.

Her phone buzzed with a new message, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw the name on the screen: Maddox.

"Cambria, are you sure about this? You can’t go back after this. Once you expose Evelyn, there’s no turning back."

The words hit her like a punch to the gut. She had been expecting Maddox’s response, but the weight of his concern made her hesitate. Was she making the right choice? Could she really expose everything she had worked for and burn all the bridges she had built, even the ones she had rebuilt with Maddox?

But then, a wave of certainty washed over her. She had spent too long being manipulated, being the victim of everyone else’s schemes. She wasn’t about to let Evelyn walk away unscathed. Not again.

"There’s no going back now. It’s time to take control of my own destiny, Maddox. I’m done running."

She hit send and looked up at Knox, her gaze unshakable. "It’s time."

The media storm hit hard and fast.

Within minutes of the press release going live, the story was everywhere. Headlines screamed of corruption, manipulation, and financial fraud, all tied to Evelyn Stone and her empire. Every secret Evelyn had spent years burying was now exposed to the world. The offshore accounts, the illegal deals, the backroom negotiations, everything was out in the open, and there was no way to undo it.

But it wasn’t just Evelyn who was being exposed. Cambria had made sure the world knew just how deep the conspiracy went. She had linked everything back to the people who had tried to use her to control her. Her uncle. The board members who had protected Evelyn’s secrets. Even Maddox’s family connections, once thought to be untouchable, were now in the crosshairs.

The media was eating it up. Headlines flashing across every screen, anchors debating the implications of the exposé. The public was in shock. Cambria was now a force to be reckoned with. And Evelyn, once the queen of the media empire, was being dethroned before the world’s eyes.

But even in the chaos, Cambria knew it wasn’t over. This was just the beginning. Exposing Evelyn was the first step. The real battle would come when Evelyn retaliated. And Cambria knew Evelyn wouldn’t go down without a fight.

By the time Cambria arrived at her office later that afternoon, the energy in the room was electric. Knox had been glued to the news all day, watching as the world reacted to the storm they had unleashed. Every move had been calculated, but even so, the sheer speed of the fallout was overwhelming.

"We did it," Knox said, his voice filled with a mixture of triumph and disbelief. "They’re in full panic mode, Cambria. The board’s been forced into damage control. Evelyn’s team is scrambling to cover up her tracks. She’s not going to be able to stop this."

Cambria stood at the window, her mind racing through the possibilities. This was a victory, yes, but it was only the first step. Evelyn was still out there. The fight wasn’t over.

"I don’t want to just destroy Evelyn," Cambria said quietly, her voice firm. "I want to make sure no one else like her ever has the power to destroy people like us. We can’t just expose her and walk away. We need to make sure she’s held accountable. She needs to face the consequences for what she’s done."

Knox nodded, his expression hardening. "I’ve been going through her finances. The truth is worse than we thought. It’s not just about her. She’s tied to the highest levels of corporate corruption. If we’re going to take her down, we have to hit every angle: business, politics, and the media."

Cambria turned to face him, her eyes sharp with resolve. "We’ll do whatever it takes. But we do it right. No shortcuts. We make sure the world knows the full extent of her crimes."

Just then, her phone buzzed again, and Cambria’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Maddox’s name flashing on the screen.

"Cambria, we need to talk. I can’t do this anymore. This is bigger than both of us. Let’s meet. We need to figure out where we go from here." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

She stared at the message for a long moment, her emotions swirling inside her. Maddox was reaching out. But was it too late? Could she really trust him after everything that had happened?

Her thoughts were interrupted as her assistant entered the room with a folder in hand. "Cambria, we’ve received a response from the board. They’re demanding a meeting with you."

Her pulse quickened. "The board?" She already knew what this meeting would be about. They were trying to salvage their reputation, trying to minimize the damage from the scandal. But Cambria wasn’t interested in negotiating anymore. She wasn’t playing by their rules.

She looked up at Knox, her decision made. "Get ready. We’re going to see the board."

The boardroom was as cold and sterile as ever, but today, it felt like a battlefield. Cambria walked in with her head held high, her gaze unwavering as the room fell silent. The faces of the board members were a mix of shock, fear, and resentment as they all turned to face her.

"Cambria," one of them said, his voice stiff. "We need to discuss the implications of your actions. This scandal has rocked the foundation of everything we’ve built."

Cambria sat down at the head of the table, her eyes sharp. "You didn’t build anything. You’ve been hiding behind power and money for too long. It’s time for the truth to come out."

Her voice was steady, but beneath the calm exterior, she felt the fire of vengeance burning inside her. She wasn’t here to negotiate. She wasn’t here to make deals. This was her empire now. And she would stop at nothing to make sure the world knew it.
