Chapter 287: Chapter 285: BOARDING THE SAME SHIP

’Why did I come here? What made me come all the way here to my country when I could have been sitting in a huge office and being revered by others?’

As she pondered over what Diamond had just dropped on them earlier, Kiara asked herself.

Kiara came from a family where her parents and elders loved their boys so much as if those boys popped out of nowhere and not in their mothers’ wombs.

They were born from females, and yet the elders looked down on all female youngsters.

She had always hated how patriarchal her family was. And what irritated her was that even her mother was just like the rest of them.

She didn’t know whether it was just being her mother trying to fit it or what, but the fact that her mother treated her son so well, as if she and her sisters didn’t exist, didn’t sit well with her.

When she was young, what words didn’t she hear from her mother, father and grandparents?

She witnessed her sisters being forced to drop out of school, forced to work early when they could have been going to school and furthering their studies.

Her brother was literally raised by the sisters and, as she watched all that, she vowed that she wouldn’t allow herself to walk down the same path. And fortunately, she escaped that path.

Forced to stop studying and follow her sisters’ path, Kiara had a huge argument with her family back then.

She still remembered how her father beat her up with a belt and her body was swollen for days. However, she refused to be taken advantage of. As a result, her grandparents, who only knew how to spoil her father and brother, decided to kick her out of the family.

They thought that she would cower and come back to her senses, but when that choice was given to her, she readily accepted.

Rather than being in a family which didn’t accept her, Kiara decided to separate from them. One day she was going to be all-powerful and prove to them that women were human beings as well. That she could make it.

She was going to make them regret it.

She was in secondary school back then, and that was how she met Nancy. Despite Kiara staying at a foster home back then, Nancy became her bosom friend.

Kiara worked and studied hard. And when she passed at ’A’ Level, form 6 and was ready to go to university, she got a scholarship to go abroad where she studied law and other related courses.

She started working at a firm when she was still studying and by the time she was done with her studies; she had already made a name for herself.

For several years, she left a stamp of her name by winning nearly every case she took, since she lost a few in the process. A person can’t always win all the time.

However, before 2078 ended, something horrible happened.

A senior partner in the firm she was working for suddenly proposed to her to make her a senior partner. That was something that she had been working hard for a long time.

However, this partner came with conditions. Even though she was desperate, it wasn’t to the extent of selling her body to get what she wanted. She had the ambition, the brains and the wonderful work she had done was all there in the open for people to admire.

So why should she sleep with him to be a partner?

Unfortunately, her refusal caused her partner to be furious, and he started making things difficult for her.

She could tell and see that he was out to get her, but was she someone who could also go down easily?

So, before she could be completely frozen out of the industry, she proved to the community that she deserved the nickname of the evil witch. She dug into every single crime that senior had ever committed and exposed it.

Although she lost a lot of opportunities, she left that country when that bastard was locked up in prison there to serve for a very long time and banned from ever practising law again.

After doing such good deeds for free, she left to return to the country. Fortunately, she remained in touch with Nancy, who kept on praising her current boss, which made her interested in the other.

Trusting Nancy that she wouldn’t lie to her about things like that led Kiara to be where she is right now.

And as she listened to Diamond’s cold words earlier, she couldn’t help but applaud her right now.

At least she was someone who was upfront with them and relayed what she wanted from them, rather than surprising them with new duties in the future.

She didn’t know what business Diamond was into because even Nancy knew a few. As for where Diamond was getting the money to fund the foundation, even Nancy was clueless.

However, from what she had heard from Nancy, she didn’t think that it was that illegal. Maybe she was trading and earning from it. However, since she was the low-key kind when it came to the business side, a lot of people didn’t know.

There were a lot of rich people out there who weren’t on the Forbes list. There exist people who don’t want to be surrounded by publicity and just live in their luxury with only a few people knowing.

And as she looked at Diamond, Kiara had that inkling.

So, in her mind, since her gut feeling wasn’t feeling awry at the thought of working for Diamond, Diamond wasn’t a bad person.

So, after deliberation, she opened her mouth and responded, "I am willing. I vow at this moment that I will work for you, and serve you loyally without the ounce of betrayal anywhere in my mind, soul or heart," swearing her allegiance without stuttering.

Diamond, hearing that, smiled brightly at Kira, happy to see that her head could still think properly.

With Kiara leading, Nancy also followed and made her own vow. She would be a fool if she let everything go after getting it.

Unlike in the places where she would follow orders, with Diamond, it was more or less the other boss. And the feeling of doing everything herself without getting harassed was good, and she didn’t want to lose everything.

With both ladies agreeing, Diamond was happier. "Welcome to the ship, ladies. I hope that we work well!"
