SORRY MR. CROWNELL YOU'RE TOO LATE Chapter 66
ChaiseThe words blurred slightly before my eyes, rage and terror colliding with such force that for a moment I couldn't process anything beyond the sheer, suffocating weight of them.Both girls now."Both?" Norman said sharply, reading over my shoulder. "Chaise, that means…""Ryan has both children," I said, forcing the words out despite the way my throat had gone tight and raw. "My newborn daughter and the one I never knew existed.""That's impossible," Lily said, her voice cracking as her arms tightened protectively around the baby still sleeping against her chest. "She's right here, Chaise. She's safe."I turned toward her, relief crashing through the horror for one brief, disorienting second before Reed's sharp intake of breath cut through the room."Unless he means someone else entirely," Reed said slowly, dread deepening every syllable. "Lily, has your daughter been alone at any point tonight? Even for a moment?"My blood ran cold as understanding crashed down all at once. T

Lily"My daughter?" The words barely registered, disbelief crashing over me in violent waves as I stared at the woman still standing calmly near the doorway despite the chaos her revelation had just unleashed. "What are you talking about? I only have one child.""Not you," she said gently, and something in her tone made my stomach drop violently before she'd even finished speaking. "Chaise's daughter from before."The room went utterly silent, every eye turning toward Chaise, whose face had drained of every last trace of color."That's not possible," he said, voice hoarse and shaking. "I don't have another child. I would know.""Would you?" the woman asked quietly. "Eleven years ago, Chaise…think back carefully."I watched him struggle visibly, memory warring against disbelief, his jaw working silently as something distant and painful clearly surfaced behind his eyes."Sarah," he whispered finally, and the name seemed to cost him something physical, some old wound reopening after ye

ChaiseThe room spun slightly, my hand finding the doorframe for balance as decades of grief and certainty crumbled beneath a single, impossible sentence."You're lying," I said, though the words came out hoarse, unconvincing even to my own ears. "My mother died in a car accident, I identified her body. I stood at her grave.""You identified what Marcus told you to identify," she said, stepping closer despite Tyron's hand hovering near his weapon. "A closed casket, a story fed to a grieving sixteen-year-old boy who had no reason to question his own father.""Why would he lie about something like that?" Norman demanded, though his voice had lost its earlier certainty, uncertainty creeping into every word."Because I discovered what he was doing," she said, her eyes never leaving mine. "Siphoning funds from the Wafia estate through falsified partnerships, manipulating the real Mrs. Wafia's trust in him for years before she died. I confronted him. I threatened to expose everything." He

Chaise"She's here?" I repeated the words barely registering before my body moved on pure instinct, crossing to the door and yanking it open, scanning the corridor beyond with every muscle coiled tight.The hallway stretched empty in both directions, fluorescent lights humming steadily overhead with nurses moving through their routines with no indication anything was amiss."Where in the hospital?" I demanded into Lily's phone, having snatched it from her trembling grip the second Rachelle's words registered."I don't know exactly," Rachelle said, her voice still shaking, still breathless like she'd been running. "She had me convinced we were leaving together, that she'd protect me from whatever fallout came from tonight. It wasn't until we were in the car that I realized she was heading back toward the hospital, not away from it.""Why would she come back here herself?" I asked. "She has to know security's on high alert.""Because the custody filing isn't really about winning in cou

Lily"That's not possible," I whispered, though even as the words left my mouth just as uncomfortable fragments began clicking into place. Rachelle's sudden bravery at the warehouse. The livestream that had conveniently captured everything needed to destroy Marcus. The way she'd guided me into that bathroom during the guards' attack, insisting we hide together while chaos erupted mere feet away.Has any of it been genuine? The more I thought about it, the more confused I got and I hated to think that this was how everything else was going to be. No matter how much I intended to keep everything under wraps, it still found a way to get back at me in many folds."She saved us," I said slowly with disbelief and betrayal warring violently in my chest. "She held Marcus at gunpoint as she recorded his confession.""Or she made sure the right confession got recorded," Norman said grimly, having stepped closer to listen once Chaise relayed the message. "Think about it, Lily. Marcus's downfall

ChaiseI stared at the screen for a long moment, my grip tightening until the plastic edges bit into my palm."What is it?" Lily asked, reading the tension carved into my face before I'd said a single word.I turned the screen toward her slowly, watching her expression shift from confusion to dawning horror as she absorbed the message herself."She wants me," Lily whispered. "Alone.""She's not getting that," I said flatly, already moving toward the door. "Not after everything that's happened tonight.""Chaise, if I don't go, she'll influence the hearing regardless…""Then she loses whatever leverage she thinks she has," I cut in. "This is exactly what she wants. Isolate you, strip away every advantage we've built in the last few hours. I won't let her do that."Reed looked up sharply from the documents he'd been organizing, an alarm flickering across his face. "If she's threatening to manipulate the hearing directly, we can't afford to dismiss this entirely.""We're not dismissing i
