I'm a Flight Risk, Handle With Care Chapter 9
The second the elevator doors closed, Cindy came rushing out after Jerome.She fell to her knees, clinging to his leg with all her might. "Jerome, I'm sorry! I'll pay back the 26 million dollars. Please just speak to your grandpa for me!"Jerome looked down at her. "You deliberately tricked me into leaving that night at the gala."Cindy shook her head, sobbing. "I was just so in love with you. I was terrified that once you married Demi, you'd never care about me again.""And on our anniversary? You knew I was going to propose to her, yet you still deliberately fell in the bathroom?"Cindy bit her lip, unable to answer.Jerome shoved her off with a jerk. "Your father saved my life, so I've cleaned up your messes for ten straight years. But you shouldn't have laid a finger on Demi."Cindy collapsed onto the floor, suddenly breaking into laughter. "Jerome, why are you putting on this devoted facade now? Did I hold a knife to your neck and force you to ditch her?"When she asked yo

The chief auditor pushed the files across the table. "The quotes from six suppliers are three times above the market rate. And the actual controlling parties for four of those companies share familial ties with Ms. Grant."Cindy bolted up from her seat. "Nonsense!"The auditor turned to the next page. "Furthermore, 370 sponsored children have duplicate identities. The so-called winter camps and rehabilitation centers were never actually carried out either."Liam slammed his hand heavily on the table. "Where did the money go?"Cindy grabbed onto Jerome. "Jerome, I was just using it for short-term cash flow! My company ran into trouble, but I was going to make up the difference later!"Jerome shoved her off. "You used relief funds to plug your company's financial hole?""I had no choice!" Cindy cried and screamed. "After my dad died, everyone was waiting to see me fail. As long as you help me make up the 26 million dollars, everything will be fine!"I let out a soft laugh. "So thi

Early the next morning, the moment I pushed open the conference room door, Cindy bolted up from her seat. "Demi, you actually had the nerve to come back?"I set the lawyer's letter down right in front of her. "Didn't you want a face-to-face confrontation?"Cindy's face went rigid, her eyes immediately flushing red.Jerome strode over to me and grabbed my wrist in a tight grip. "When did you get back? Come home with me. We need to talk this through properly."I yanked my hand back. "I don't have a home with you."Jerome was about to speak again when Liam tapped his knuckles on the tabletop."Let's get the facts straight first. Cindy, you've been telling everyone that Demi took Jerome's money and ran. Do you have any proof?"Cindy bit her lip. "Jerome transferred those two million dollars to her himself. She fled the country the very next day after taking the money."I slid my phone over to her, showing the transaction record. "I've already returned the money. Also, the timestamp

When Carolina arrived, Cindy had yet to finish packing.She blocked the doorway, clinging fiercely to her suitcase. "Jerome allowed me to stay here! What right do you have to kick me out?"Carolina handed her the ownership records. "The registered owner is Ms. Atkinson. She has already revoked your access privileges. Please vacate the premises immediately."Cindy whipped her head around to look at Jerome. "Jerome, there's a crisis with the charity project my dad left behind. The foundation is pulling its funding. You're the only one who can help me now."Jerome picked up her suitcase and set it straight outside the door. "If there's an issue with the project, go take it up with the project director. This is Demi's house, not your shelter."With reddened eyes, Cindy grabbed onto him. "But she doesn't even want you anymore! Even if you guard this apartment for her, she's not coming back!"Jerome shoved her hand off. "Get out."Biting her lip hard, Cindy dragged her suitcase away.

Jerome stood in the empty room, stunned for several long seconds.As if the reality finally registered, he whipped out his phone and called me, only to realize my phone was powered off.He dialed a dozen more times in a row, but the speaker returned only the same ice-cold recorded prompt."Babe, where did you go?"The moment he hit send, a single gray mark remained beside the message.Jerome's face paled completely. He combed through every single social media app, only to realize I had blocked him everywhere.The next second, he dialed Mom's number. "Mrs. Atkinson, did Demi go home?""No.""Then where did she go?"Mom paused for a few seconds. "If even you don't know, how would I?"Jerome gripped his phone tightly. "She took off over a tiny matter and won't answer her phone. Please talk some sense into her. She's being unreasonable."Mom's voice turned instantly cold. "When she was eight years old, I was late picking her up just once, and she boarded a long-distance bus out

#Early the next morning, Jerome wrapped his arms around me from behind. "I was wrong last night. We'll redo our anniversary dinner tonight at the same restaurant."I said nothing.Jerome leaned down and kissed my cheek. "I've arranged for my assistant to take care of Cindy. Even if she ends up in the hospital this time, I won't leave your side."Walking over to the doorway, he turned back to remind me, "Tonight, at eight. Dress up nice. I've got a surprise for you."I gave a slight nod. "Okay."The moment the front door closed, I popped open my suitcase. I packed up my passport, documents, laptop, and bank cards.I left behind every designer gown, piece of jewelry, and handbag Jerome had ever given me.I didn't need anything I couldn't take with me."Accept your losses, pay the bill, and walk away. That's the attitude of a powerhouse."That was my life's motto, the words I lived by.I rolled my suitcase downstairs and grabbed a cab to the airport.On the way, Jerome sent me
