《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 50
Advertisement
The next morning, Laurel was surprised to wake up to breakfast in bed.
"It isn't a holiday is it?" Laurel asked her boyfriend as he placed a food tray in front of her.
"No, but considering how quick you were to forgive me after what I told you yesterday, I figured bringing you breakfast in bed was the least I could do. Following last night." Oliver said and Laurel smiled as she began eating.
"I should forgive you for that sort of stuff more often. Kidding of course." Laurel said as Oliver's phone rang.
"Hey Winn, what's up?" Oliver asked.
"I found something that I think you and Laurel should see while I was searching. Thea to." Winn said.
"Call them and have them meet us at the base." Oliver said, wondering what Winn had found.
"So why exactly did all of us need to be here for this?" Thea asked Winn once they'd all gathered in the lair.
"Because while I was digging into your family's past, I found some interesting transactions that I thought you might want to be aware of." Winn said.
"And they are." Laurel asked.
"First off would be a check Moira wrote of 1 million dollars to some woman named Samantha Clayton. That mean anything to you?" Winn asked as Oliver and Laurel exchanged looks.
"That one might be the most damaging report of them all, since Samantha was one of my many mistresses while I was dating Laurel." Oliver said.
"But mom never paid off any of the other girls you slept with. If she did, we'd be broke." Thea said, only to have Oliver glare at her.
"Oliver told me last night that apparently he got Samantha pregnant, but she miscarried." Laurel said.

"But she didn't tell me that until after I told mom about the baby. She told me she'd take care of it." Oliver said.
"You don't think she?" Thea asked.
"Paid Samantha off to lie to me. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm starting to think. Any other concerns we should know about?" Oliver asked, trying to control his anger, since he thought he'd already come to terms with his mother keeping his son a secret from him, but it turns out even after all this time, he was still harboring some anger towards her.
"Next would a purchase of a warehouse for 2.6 million dollars from back in 2009 under some corporation called Tempest." Winn said and Oliver knew what that was.
"We'll investigate that later. Anything else?" Oliver asked.
"Uh, apparently your mom paid off a Dr. Gill about 18 years ago." Winn said.
"That's the doctor who delivered Thea." Oliver said.
"What is mom hiding?" Thea asked.
"We need to unbury all these secrets, no matter how unpleasant they may be, this is about more than just Laurel's campaign now." Oliver said and Laurel nodded in agreement.
"Huh, this is interesting." Winn said.
"What?" Oliver asked.
"Your dad had some offshore accounts that he clearly used to help finance some more lucrative endeavors. One of those accounts is still paying to rent a storage locker in Orchid Bay under your mother's name." Winn said.
"We need to know what's in that locker." Oliver said.
"Also, it looks like a few months after Thea was born, your parents used the same account to pay someone named T. Snow a fairly large amount of money." Winn said.
"So we divide and conquer. Thea and I will go confront our mom about this directly, Laurel, you and Sara go check out this warehouse. Winn, have the contents of the storage locker transferred to my penthouse, we'll look over everything there." Oliver said, right as his phone went off.

"Hello? Kara, what's going on?" Oliver asked as he listened to Kara talk on the other side of the call.
"Okay, we'll be there." Oliver said.
"What's going on?" Thea asked.
"Change of plans. That was Kara, apparently she and her team need some help with something in Central City, so this can wait until we get back." Oliver said.
"We're going just like that?" Laurel asked.
"She helped us against Slade without a second thought, time to return the favor. Besides, now you guys also get to meet the Flash." Oliver said.
"Okay, but we shouldn't leave the city vulnerable." Laurel said.
"Winn, tell Sara and Roy that they're in charge of protecting the city while the three of us head to Central City to help Kara out." Oliver said and Winn nodded.
"Also, while we're gone, Sara's in charge." Oliver said as he, Laurel and Thea moved to grab their suits.

Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World
Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect. Brief Synopsis:American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities. The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know. I want to do this the right way. P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D
