"The meeting has been dismissed."

Ronan's voice was calm and firm as he gathered the documents in front of him before standing up from his seat. The board members exchanged glances before slowly rising from their chairs and leaving the conference room one after the other, the sound of footsteps gradually fading until the room became silent again.

Ronan loosened his tie slightly and walked out.

As he passed through the hallway, his eyes drifted toward Adaline's office. His steps slowed almost im

    Come in,” Ronan said after a few seconds.He stepped aside and opened the door wide enough for her to enter. Adaline walked in slowly while Ronan closed the door behind her.He returned to his chair and sat down.Silence settled in the room again.The faint sound of the laptop keys filled the air as Adaline stood awkwardly near the table, nervously fidgeting with her fingers.After a while, Ronan finally looked up from the screen and noticed she was still standing.“Aren’t you going to sit down?” he asked.“There’s no seat here,” Adaline replied softly.Ronan leaned back slightly and gestured beside him.“There’s a seat beside me.”He paused briefly before continuing.“Sit down and say whatever you want to say. I’m busy.”Adaline swallowed nervously before walking over slowly and sitting beside him.Ronan stopped typing and turned to look at her fully.“I’m not going to bite you,” he said calmly. “What do you want to say?”“I... I...” Adaline started nervously.“You want me to hand ove

    Chapter 85“Now you need my help,” Camilla said with amusement evident in her voice as she leaned back comfortably against the chair, clearly enjoying the sudden shift in circumstances.Tyler sighed heavily and rubbed his forehead slowly. He already had enough problems to deal with and the last thing he needed was another complication in the form of Camilla and whatever twisted scheme she was planning.“You want Adaline out of the way so you can have Ronan all to yourself, right?” Tyler asked calmly.“Obviously,” Camilla replied without hesitation. “But I do not need your help anymore. I already found a way to get rid of her.”Tyler’s expression darkened immediately.“Wait,” he said slowly. “Get rid of her?”His voice lowered dangerously.“You want to kill her?”Camilla paused for the briefest second before scoffing lightly.“I never said that,” she corrected quickly, careful with her words because she had no intention of exposing her plans yet, especially not to Tyler.Tyler narrowed

    Chapter 84“It’s a win win situation for everyone,” Camilla said calmly as she crossed her legs elegantly, her lips curving into a satisfied smile while she looked at both women sitting across from her.Elsie frowned immediately and exchanged a glance with her mother before looking back at Camilla.“You are saying that if Adaline dies, you can get back together with Ronan and then convince him to return the company to us?” Elsie asked slowly, almost unable to believe the words coming out of Camilla’s mouth.Camilla leaned back against her chair and stared at her with annoyance.“I think I was audible enough for you to hear me the first time,” she replied coldly. “Adaline is the stumbling block standing in the way of everything we all want right now. Unless you enjoy living like this.”Her eyes swept across the restaurant table mockingly.“Once noble. Wealthy. Respected. And now reduced to puppets.”“Do not call us that,” Elsie snapped immediately, anger flashing across her face.Befor

    Chapter 83 “This isn’t true,” Adaline blurted out immediately, her voice shaking violently as she stared at the document in her hands. “I know what I saw. My mother’s name was there. It was this same hospital. No, no, no...” Her breathing became uneven as she flipped through the papers again, her trembling fingers almost crumpling the edges in desperation as though the harder she looked, the more the truth would suddenly rearrange itself into something that made sense. Mrs Margareta watched her quietly before speaking in a calm voice. “Adaline, this is exactly what was inside that safe. These are Mrs Frost’s medical records. If you are saying someone showed you your mother’s records, then maybe you should ask him where he got them from.” Adaline shook her head repeatedly. “How is it the same hospital then? How? Tell me how that makes sense.” “I do not know,” Mrs Margareta replied honestly. “I am only telling you that what you saw inside the safe is what you are holding ri

  • Owned By my father's Enemy    The Truth Buried Too Deep

    "You are still keeping in touch with Tyler?"Ronan asked quietly, though the disappointment in his voice was impossible to miss.Adaline's expression changed immediately. The softness that had been there moments ago vanished completely, replaced by anger and defiance."You do not have the right to tell me who I can talk to and who I cannot," she replied sharply. "Tyler is my friend, and I can speak to him whenever I want."Ronan stared at her for a moment, visibly caught off guard by the harshness in her tone. The way she looked at him now felt unfamiliar, almost like she was looking at a stranger.He took a slow breath and stepped back slightly."Calm down," he said. "I was only surprised that you still kept in contact with him."Adaline laughed bitterly, shaking her head."No, Ronan. You do not get to stand there and act calm like none of this matters anymore."Ronan frowned. Something about her behavior felt wrong. Too emotional. Too defensive. It was almost as though she had alr

His steps slowed almost immediately.The room was empty. Still. Quiet. Yet memories flooded his mind so suddenly that he found himself staring longer than he intended.The first day she stepped into the office, nervous and quiet.The way she always avoided his gaze whenever he spoke too harshly to her.The way she sat at the desk late at night, struggling to stay awake while finishing work.The way she looked at him now.A faint smile appeared on his lips before he quickly composed himself and continued walking.He pushe
