My Fiancée Married My Sister Chapter 140
"Married," I repeated, laughing with genuine delight. "Ava, that's wonderful. Who is it?""His name's Marcus…" She caught herself, laughing. "Not our Marcus, obviously. A different one. She met him during her residency. He's a pediatric oncologist, apparently kind in exactly the way that terrified and delighted me the first time I met him.""When did all this happen?" I asked, still catching up to the sheer velocity of time. "Wasn't she just starting medical school?""That was six years ago, Jasmine," Ava said, laughing. "I know. I keep having the same disbelief. She's twenty-eight now. A whole grown woman, apparently, with a fiancé and opinions about venue lighting."We spent the following months deep in wedding planning once again, though this time comfortably from the sidelines— Lily, thoughtful and deliberate the way she'd always been, handling most decisions herself with occasional consultation, the whole extended family gathering periodically to celebrate milestones large and sm

I stared at the message through the applause still echoing around me, Noah noticing my expression shift and leaning in immediately."What is it?"I showed him the phone, and his jaw tightened, though he kept his voice low, careful not to disrupt the celebration still unfolding around Charlotte."We report it," he said simply. "Tonight. But Jasmine — don't let it swallow this moment for her. Not yet."I nodded, tucking the phone away, and forced myself back into the celebration, watching Charlotte glow with pride as students lined up to shake her hand, local press capturing photos of the finished space. It took everything in me not to pull her aside immediately, but I trusted Noah's instinct— this night belonged to her, and the threat, whatever it turned out to be, could wait until morning.Detective Osei took the message seriously when we reported it the next day, tracing the number quickly to a burner phone purchased in cash, the trail going cold almost immediately."I want to be can

"Send me a photo of the note," I said, my hands already shaking. "And call the police immediately, if you haven't already.""I did," Charlotte said, her voice steadier now, though I could hear the fear still threading through it. "They're taking it seriously, given the fire. They want to interview me tomorrow.""We're coming," I said, glancing at Noah, who was already reaching for his phone to check flight availability. "Tonight, if we can get a flight."We landed in Detroit just after midnight, Charlotte waiting for us at the small airport with red-rimmed eyes but a composure that made my chest ache with pride even amid the fear. She'd grown so much, so quickly, and yet in this moment she looked, unmistakably, like my daughter again — young, frightened, needing her parents close."I keep thinking about what the note said," she admitted, once we were settled in the rental car. "'Doesn't belong to your family's city.' Mom, do you think this is connected to something from your past? Or

"Mom," Charlotte said, her voice practically vibrating through the phone. "I did it. I finished the proposal. The design school… I actually wrote the whole business plan, the curriculum outline, everything. I want to show you and Dad this weekend. I think I'm ready to actually start building it." "That's incredible," I said, already reaching for Noah's arm to get his attention. "Come home this weekend. We'll go through every page." She arrived Friday evening, laptop bag slung over her shoulder, practically glowing with the particular energy of someone who'd finally turned an abstract dream into something concrete. We spread her proposal across the kitchen island— projected enrollment numbers, a tiered scholarship structure modeled after the foundation's own, partnerships she'd already sketched out with three manufacturers willing to offer apprenticeships. "This is remarkably thorough," Noah said, flipping through the financial projections with visible pride. "Charlotte, this r

"There's a problem," Marcus said, his voice tight. "One of the mobility fund's major research partners, the university lab leading the spinal regeneration trial, just had their funding frozen. A federal grant review flagged irregularities in their financial reporting. It's not fraud, from what I can tell, just sloppy accounting. But it means the trial's on hold indefinitely, and it means the fund's biggest current initiative is suddenly at serious risk." Noah's face went pale. "How long has this been building?" "Weeks, apparently. Nobody flagged it to us until the freeze actually hit." I watched Noah absorb the news, his careful plan for scaling back suddenly colliding with an urgent crisis in the exact area he'd wanted to devote himself to more fully. "I need to go handle this," he said, already reaching for his jacket. "Today." "Let me come with you," I said immediately. "This is a research funding crisis, Jasmine. It's not exactly your area." "It's exactly my area,"

"I want to talk to you about something," Noah said, a week after the holidays, once Charlotte had returned to Parsons and the penthouse had settled back into its quieter rhythm. "Sinclair Capital. I've been thinking about scaling back." I set down my coffee, surprised. "Scaling back how much?" "Significantly." He sat across from me at the kitchen island, his expression careful, deliberate. "I want to hand the majority of day-to-day operations to Marcus's successor and focus almost entirely on the mobility fund instead. Fewer acquisitions, less time in boardrooms. More time on the work that actually feels like it matters." "That's a huge shift," I said slowly. "Noah, Sinclair Capital is your legacy. You built it from nothing." "I did," he agreed. "And I've spent twenty-five years proving I could build it. I don't think I need to keep proving that anymore. I think I want to spend whatever years I have left doing something that feels less like winning and more like the version
