The Black Swan's Final Revenge Pirouette: The 99th Game Was Mine All Along by Kylie Homme

Chapter 115

Leo's father card irked me, he tended to use it everywhere only to justify his actions. Firstly, | asked him to calm

down and then questioned Bright seriously.

“The wristwatch is the only thing that Jane remembers about that kidnapper, Bright. Are

you aware of it?”

Leo rolled his eyes at me.

“Why are you asking obvious questions, Laura? He is always present at the scene, never missing any

development.”

Ignoring his commentary, | glanced at Bright, he spoke remorsefully.

“Yes, Laura!

About half a month ago, she gave her statement in front ofat the hospital. They drew a sketch of that watch

according to her explanation.”

Without any further delay, he gave the reason for his mistake.

“Actually, | was too tired after the match last night. And there were back-to-back meetings in the morning.

So, when | got ready for the office, it didn’t cross my mind that my wristwatch is somewhat similar to the

kidnapper’s one.

Otherwise, | would have never worn it.”

As Leo was dropped out of the tournament due to his surgery, Bright was playing for my company. His workload

was definitely insane because of Jane’s abduction.

He was juggling between an official and ice hockey career, so | gave him the benefit of

doubt and let it slide.

“I can feel your exhaustion, Bright. There are no words to express my heartfelt gratitude for whatever you have

done forand my company.

The 99th GWas Mine All Along

Ita fine. | trust you!

You will never do anything to hurt my Jane on purpose.”

“That's indeed a relieft”

Bright let out the breath he didn’t know he was holding until now and smiled in appreciation,

“I am honored to be trusted by you. Thanks for believing ine,

| will never disappoint you. Laura.”

Leo coughed and mimicked vomiting, his Oscar winning acting fumed me,

“Yeah, you are Mother Teresa, who is too good to be trusted blindly.”

He moved forward and stood right before Bright, narrowing his eyes.

“You can fool everyone, but not me, Bright. Soon, | will catch you in the act, and that day, you won't have any

other choice except speaking the truth.”

Bright scratched his ear, and chuckled softly.

“Then | will wait for your show, Leo. Let's see, what can you do to prove your lies!”

As they both started to threaten each other, | feared their fight, the hot-headed players like them were used to

being aggressive on the rink

Leo was undoubtedly a mad man, but Bright had his grage buried deep in him. Now, his competitor brought

out that ice hockey player from hiding to fight on the front foot. There were only moments left in a bloody battle.

So, before they could use their fists to assert their dominance, | handed them stuffed animals and commanded

authoritatively.

“Stop it, guys. Take these toys and watch a movie with Jane. She loves Bright, and | don’t wanna hate her new

dad.

Please cooperate with me!”

“On It!”

Those raging volcanoes converted into meadow full of flowers for Jane and hurried outside, | sighed in relief.

“At least, they both equally love Jane.”

Among all our differences, the affection for Jane was a common ground for us

hope for the future to cup with a practical solution for co-parenting.

It gave me

As Jane had two dads to babysit, | sat at my worktable to resmy professional life. My absence must have

taken a toll on my company’s performance. | kept the door of my room. open to listen to the live broadcast from

the living room. My recent experience urgedto be cautious around two impulsive players.

One click on the email box, and the work emails swarmed my laptop. | didn’t get a moment to scratch my head

after starting work.

Bright successfully managed the workflow, no major task was interrupted or delayed. But still, there were many

matters which needed my approval. So, | called an urgent meeting on Skype to discuss the pending files.

“Ma’am, the investors have requested to revise the payment plan for the players. Mr. Bright's matches are

capturing more attention nowadays.”

Just like the tradition of the market, Leo's injury vacant the space for Bright to shine, every major brand was

dying to extend their contracts with my firm. It was very difficult to select what to put on his shirt as every logo

was offering high amounts. The matter of designing Bright's shirt for every match was like an auction, where the

highest paying bidder was permitted to display their logo.

| was finalizing the design for the next match when Jane’s excited tone sliced through the formal atmosphere of

the online meeting.

“I love Elsa. She is so cool!”

Her unadulterated joy washed a wave of peace over me, helpingto focus more on my work. Trusting Bright

and Leo had turned out to be a wise decision.

Until the end of my meeting, the movie also ended, | judged from voices outside that they

played an ice hockey match next.

“Daddy, you scored five goals in yesterday's match. You are a rock star!”

Jane's clapping with her praise for Bright painted an imaginative scene in my mind. | could see Leo boiling in

anger like a mad bull.

He considered himself the god of ice hockey, admiring someone else in his presence was like igniting the match

stick in the warehouse full of dynamite.

| was weighing my options of going out to be a moderator or continue working when Jane's voice reverberated in

the surroundings, she was speaking out loud.

“Uncle Leo, sorry. Dad!

You are discharged from the hospital. And the tournament hasn't ended yet. Will you play a

match this season?”

Shoot!

The doctors had strictly prohibited Leo to have three months rest, his heart's condition wasn’t favorable to hit

the rink again. My little girl was unknowingly stabbing a sharp dagger at Leo’s pinching point, testing his

patience. | couldn't help but laugh at this

situation.

Leo had spoiled my every moment in Lakon City and now, his blood was making him taste. his own medicine. |

felt proud of my daughter as she was taking revenge on my behalf.

Being powerless before a kid, Leo changed the topic, his impatient tone satisfiedto the

core.

“Would you like to go on a picnic withthis weekend, my little angel? We can also go to Disneyland and visit

Elsa's Castle.”

His attempt to change the topic worked well, tuning Jane into a new frequency. She appreciated the idea of

experiencing the princess's adventure and said,

“I would love to go to Disneyland, but letask daddy. He usually plans surprises for us on

weekends.”

ROFLI

Jane took this harmless invitation and made it all about Bright again, mentioning all the pleasurable moments

that we had as a family.

“Before | got sick, daddy took us boating, swimming, and shopping. We went to the Safari Park and Zoo as well.

Zoe also cwith us. We played all day together.”

Jane’s nonstop news bulletin started with our picnics and ended by covering the topic of our indoor activities,

burning Leo in a hell of jealousy. | thoroughly enjoyed this scene from my room until she raised the moment of

the intimate proposal, welling up a wave of an acid from my belly.

My heart rate hitched, cutting off oxygen supply, Leo must be about to explode in fury as Jane announced

proudly.

“Me, Zoe, and daddy are a team. We prepared a surprise proposal for mommy.

She is going to marry daddy soon!”
