The Billionaire's Gullible Bride

Mitchell Carter stared at the news flash, her eyes shining with tears.

With every passing second, the fate of her family's billions which have been in the family for generations becomes uncertain.

"The invincible Carter group is expected to file for bankruptcy anytime soon, they might also lose their personal properties which their family had amassed for centuries due to the debts incurred in the process. Their partners, including Wright brothers, Platinum corporation, Skye Tech, and the rest are expected to take them to court to recover the things they lost due to Jason Carter's carelessness. Ever since the heist where they lost vital datas in the hands of the criminals, it has been from one problem to another. They might even be investigated for fraud and tax evasion, as per the information available. It might not just end with losing the billions under their name, Jason Carter might also get lots of jail time if the investigations find him guilty. The future is looking bleak for them. The thirtieth richest family in the world is going down, and they are descending faster than they have ever accelerated. Even the assasination of Jason's wife didn't leave such an impact on them, will this really be the end for the legendary Carter family? Stay tuned for more exciting news on the American vanguard," the news anchor announced, followed by an annoying military song that mirrored Mitchell's beating heart.

Ever since their company was sabotaged by an unknown insider, the life of the pampered princess of the Carter family, Mitchell Carter, had taken a toll for the worst. The insults from the aunts and cousins at the manor, overlapped with the torture and bullying at school, making the life of the pampered heiress to take a dangerous turn.

"Dad, nothing will happen to you. We will find the person that leaked vital information, we will clear your name and prove you didn't evade tax or launder money, you're not a criminal, we will not go bankrupt," Mitchell muttered, clenching her fists.

"Oh, wow. Isn't that the precious only daughter of the famous criminal, Jason Carter?" Fiona, one of her shameless classmates asked, chuckling in that annoying way of hers.

Mitchell immediately looked up, noticing the hoard of bullies Fiona Ortega, her long time enemy brought with her. Even though Fiona hated Mitchell, she had never dared to beat her up, till this tragedy. It was always covert bullying and emotional banter because she didn't dare to injure the princess of the powerful Carter family, especially when Jason Carter was the chairman of their school board.

Their school, Royal crest academy, was a school for the rich and the powerful, and they all attended Royal crest academy from creche to their university level. Mitchell was currently eighteen, but she was already in her final year at Royal Crest Business school.

One of the advantages the school presented was accelerated learning, as long as you were intelligent enough, age was irrelevant, you keep taking exams for higher classes, and skipping some grades, making the genius among them graduate as fast as seventeen years old, before going on to manage their family empire.

Getting expelled from the academy was a royal disgrace that follows one forever, making them stay far away from the chairman's daughter. However, now that Jason was about to be impeached from the board due to the crisis the Carter group was facing, the vampires suddenly didn't mind eating her up.

Mitchell smiled wryly, and looked straight at her.

"My father is not a criminal, the person who stole from us is. He is innocent until proven guilty. But of course, a dummy like you wouldn't know anything about the law. Especially since the only thing you understand is how to go for surgeries, making yourself look like a plastic doll. What about those lovers of yours? The video of you having threesomes with them was said to be hot and passionate," Mitchell answered with a bright smile, earning her a loud slap from Fiona, which landed on her delicate cheek.

Her cheeks turned so red that it seemed like a shade of her auburn hair, she tasted something metallic in her mouth, making her realize she was bleeding.

The heavy jewelry Fiona was wearing on her fingers totally tore the interior of her mouth, causing pain to wrack through Mitchell's body.

Mitchell smiled and turned to leave, but a sharp tug at her hair had her screaming and tumbling back.

"Aren't you arrogant, little princess? You can eat carelessly but don't speak carelessly, haven't you heard that? You are asking for death, and your criminal father can't save you from it," Fiona whispered, her eyes blazing with anger.

"She thinks she's still the powerful daughter of the Carter family that can act as she pleases without consequences. She's just as useless as her father. Despite her naive mother transferring her family's wealth to Jason, hoping to elevate him to his current status, he couldn't protect her life. And now, he has totally disgraced and disappointed her by letting her legacy burn to ashes because of his stupidity and greed. His daughter isn't any different, like father like daughter," someone said in the crowd, infuriating Mitchell.

"Get the bitch!" Angela, her cousin Skylar's best friend, ordered, instructing everyone to beat Mitchell up.

"Let me go, you beastly trash!" Mitchell roared, finally disengaging her hair from Fiona's fists.

A slap landed on her cheeks, with an accompanying punch to her belly, making her vomit blood.

For someone who had never as much as received a pinch all her life, the incessant bullying she had been receiving for weeks now was enough to kill her. However, her stubborn will kept her pushing on, enduring whatever comes her way.

"I hope you all are aware that your actions are on live broadcast, the whole internet can see how their top socialites, heiresses, and princes ganged up against one person. Fiona, don't you have a modeling contest coming up next week? I would like to see if Da-diva will select a monster as the face of their agency," Mitchell angrily said, taking to her heels.

It took two minutes for her words to properly sink down in their hearts, infuriating them.

"Find her, she's already a corpse to me," Fiona whispered furiously, making her guards run out to obey her order.

"Damon, where are you? I'm in big trouble, I can't reach my guards, and nearly all the guards following Fiona and her friends are searching for me, I can't reach Dad either, please save me," Mitchell whispered over the phone, sobbing as she talked to her boyfriend of six months over the phone.

"Where are you?" Damon whispered breathlessly as Skylar, Mitchell's cousin, gave him head, laughing at the naive Mitchell who didn't know they were both using her to take away her dad's company.

"I'm in the zoological gardens, near the exotic rose bush. Hurry up before they find me," she sobbed, sniffing severally.

Her big act of being strong was fake because she was probably the most fragile person alive. However, she only shows her vulnerability before the people she loves; like Damon.

"Don't worry baby, ah, mm, I will be there soon," he muttered, clenching his fist as he felt his orgasm approaching, while Skylar giggled, feeling giddy as she enjoyed her cousin's man, while the innocent and clueless girl on the phone could not understand anything.

"My love, are you alright? Did you get hurt?" Mitchell asked, her brows furrowing as she listened to Damon's grunts and moans.

"I'm fine sweetheart, I'm already on my way," he whispered, pushing Skylar's head down to his rod, causing her to laugh dirtily.

"Okay, who is that person laughing?" Mitchell asked with a frown, wondering why the voice seemed so familiar.

"It's no one, oh baby," Damon whispered, quickly cutting the call as he got his release.

"She's in the zoological gardens, right? Send her coordinates to the men. Once old man Jason goes to prison, mom will take over the company and sign it over to me, to us. And Jason can only make mistakes that will validate the fake evidence we provided if he's not in his right state of mind. In this world, there's only one thing that has the ability to make Jason run mad," Skylar said, getting to her feet.

"And that's killing his beloved daughter; his heartbeat. Once we stab his biggest weakness, he will be equivalent to meat on a chopping block," Damon said, pulling up his trousers.

Skylar smiled in satisfaction the moment she saw the vicious glint in Damon's eyes, causing her to give him a peck as he picked up his phone to send Mitchell's coordinates to the assassins.
