Femme Fatale: The King's Deadly Temptress

Chapter 271: Deborah Young's Resolution 1

Young Mansion

Deborah Young had been pacing in her room for the past hour. It was already ten in the evening and she was quite stressed about what would happen at the Young Corporation the next day.

Her niece would be joining the company tomorrow and she didn't like how her father wanted to do so much for someone who hadn't been around for sixteen years and an amnesiac on top of that.

Granted she supposedly finished a business degree, but that was before the accident from five years ago that caused her memory loss. What could she possibly do in the company when she doesn't even remember what she studied for years and the only experience that she had was being a secretary of Frederick Park's billionaire nephew who knew nothing but spend money on women and probably even drugs?

Deborah wasn't very fond of young businessmen especially when the tabloids have a lot of dirt about them. She didn't understand how these youngsters earn so much recognition and money all while partying and throwing away money. Imagine how a CEO like her had to seek partnership with someone about half her age. How ridiculous this world has become!

Stressing about what she needed to do, she stopped in her tracks when an idea came to mind realizing that she could use this to her advantage. She had wanted so badly to get that deal with Crown Resort Group and now her niece could be her way to get that multi-million dollar deal. Suddenly, Deborah's future was shining brightly. She had to do something to guarantee that project. Young Corporation had to win that bidding.

She rushed to her cell phone on the side table and was about to dial someone's number when a memory from the last time they spoke flitted in her mind.

About a week after learning Katherine's identity as Katherine Young her niece who was supposed to be dead along with her parents sixteen years ago Deborah called Frederick Park several times but the latter had been unreachable. It was the same with the other person that she needed to contact, but she hadn't seen or heard from that person for the last sixteen years and there was no other way to contact him.

When her call was finally picked up, she spat, "I have been calling you for two weeks, Frederick. You never bothered to get back to me!"

"I have been very busy, Deborah," Frederick Park's rough voice sounded from the speaker.

Not liking his tone and answer, she became even hysterical, "Busy?! How convenient that you've been busy after I asked you why that child was still alive! You have caused me a lot of stress. I have not been sleeping well for the past few days!"

"Look, Deborah. I don't know what to tell you. As far as I know, no one got out after that explosion. No one should have survived," his voice sounded exasperated. He had been avoiding her since he received her text message.

"Apparently, you are lousy at your job because that girl is now a grown-up and perfectly well! I thought I could trust you. Now I'm stuck with this problem and I don't know what to do!"

Frederick Park ignored her remark and laughed at the imagination in his head as he thought about Katherine, the woman whom he so wanted out of his nephew's life thinking she was no good and was a gold digger as it turned out, she was the true heiress of a business empire.  "How surprising this turn of events. Did you know that she was supposed to marry my nephew?"

"This is not the time to laugh, Frederickwait, what did you say? She was going to marry your nephew?" Deborah Young had heard about a rumor regarding her niece Katherine when she was still working in Crown Resort Group. But because it was just one scandal that disappeared as soon as it appeared, she didn't give it much thought especially because she wasn't too enthusiastic about the young woman who looked like her dead sister-in-law.

"Yes. My mother was very fond of her too. Damien had never been so adamant in his life and he was dead set on marrying this woman. It wasn't until a couple of days ago when he told Mother that the wedding was off."

Hearing this news left a bad taste in Deborah's tongue. The rumors were indeed true. How serious had the two of them been for them to even plan to get married?

Deborah let out a long sigh, rubbing her temples with her fingers to ease the pain. "She's been away ever since Father and I met her that day. God knows where she is now. I cannot believe this is happening to me, you were supposed to take care of this, Frederick!"

Frederick Park was now also getting a headache. This was not supposed to happen to him. He took pride in his business that he gets things done without complications. Hearing about this news also got to him, he had to call a couple of his trusted men regarding this situation to a 'family meeting', leaving out his son and Damien out of the loop who was still a teenager at that time of the incident. He honestly didn't think that any of his people would ever be sloppy about the mission.

"What do you want me to do, Deborah? Just say the word and I'll complete the job. It's the least I can do for not doing it right the last time." It was the only thing he could tell herhe couldn't possibly turn back time.

Hearing his words, she got even more enraged. That girl was now an adult and she had just gotten back to the family. Her father had been speaking to Katherine privately and had even fixed a sizeable amount of funds to her name. If something were to happen to her at this moment, it would definitely cause a disorder. "Do you think doing that now will solve the problem?!" She cursed a few times, her voice rose a few octaves higher.
