“Long time, brother.” Julian muttered with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

Sebastian reciprocated the smile. “Indeed. Welcome back. Mom couldn’t stop asking when you’d come back because your business trip was taking too long,” he said, walking in.

Julian paused to see his family’s gazes on them, what he could decipher as worry in their eyes.

“It’d be lovely if we had a little family reunion, just like the good old days. Too bad you’re currently heading out,” Sebastian remarked, turning back

    Tristan let out a soft moan as he opened his eyes, squinting them back at the contact of the ceiling's light.A blurred voice echoed in his head until it became clearer.“Tristan? Can you hear me? Tristan.”Tristan opened his eyes again to see Elara's face close to his, observing him with furrowed brows.“Where am I?” He groaned.“Thank goodness you're safe,” she sighed.Elara cupped his cheek, scanning his face. “Are you feeling hurt? Anything broken?”“I'm fine.” Tristan pulled away from her grip before rubbing his throbbing temples.“What actually happened? Who are those guys?” He asked.Elara bit her lips and looked away.“Richard Davey, the finance director at NovaEdge. He's the one who orchestrated Mr. Harrison's arrest,” Elara explained.Tristan furrowed his brows.“So if I'm getting you correctly, that man framed Mr. Harrison and you found out about it,” he said.Elara nodded with a smile.“Are you dumb or something?”Elara's smile immediately fell.“Because you found out abou

    Elara frowned, “What are you even talking about? We need to get Andrew out of there as soon as possible.”“No, we won’t,” Julian muttered, leaning back in his chair.“Huh?” Her brows furrowed.“Let’s say I pull some strings and prove his innocence. That would be us walking directly into Sebastian’s trap. We will definitely get dragged into this mess, especially since the product suspected of using illegal raw material is gallium,” Julian replied.Elara sighed as she sat down on the sofa.“So what do we do now?”“We simply lay back and handle the case behind the scenes,” Julian muttered, picking up a file before handing it to her.Elara flipped through it. It contained a list of people with their faces, names, and other personal information.“One thing is certain — the evidence they have against Mr. Harrison is very clean, which can only mean one thing…”He turned towards the window.“…there’s a spy in his company working for Sebastian, and that spy must have a certain degree of power.

    “Your hand, sir.”Andrew bared his handcuffed hands to the male officer for him to uncuff him. He smiled as he rubbed his wrist, glaring at the other officer who sat in front of him, casting an intimidating look at him too.His gaze traveled across the interrogation room, with cameras at the four angles of the room.“Mr. Harrison,” the officer began, skimming through the document in his hand, “I believe you know why you’re here.”Andrew smirked. “I believe you know you’ll be in serious trouble for arresting a busy person like me over some silly claims,” he replied.“Silly claims, you say?” The officer let out a brief laugh. “You business moguls are all the same. Shameless till the very end,” he spat.Andrew slammed his hands loudly against the table, standing up.“How many times do I have to tell you? I’ve never purchased anything like that. Check my company’s records!” He snapped.Andrew glared at him. “Once this case is settled, you’ll have my lawyer to answer. Believe me,” he sneer

    Soft music played in the background as the three settled around a table near the window in a restaurant.Andrew smiled as he glanced between Julian and Elara.“I must admit, I didn't expect our meeting to turn out this way,” he muttered.Elara chuckled, “Well, at least we got what we came for,” she muttered.“More than what I came for,” Andrew corrected. “Your wife managed to convince me to accept a deal I had rejected twice.” He turned to Julian.Elara smiled, “I wouldn't say I convinced you. I simply offered you something that worked for both parties.”Andrew laughed. “That's exactly what a good negotiator would say.”Julian leaned back in his chair, watching them quietly.Andrew picked up his glass.“To new partnerships,” he announced.Julian raised his glass, and Elara followed.“To new partnerships,” they echoed before taking a sip.Their conversation continued for a while, moving away from business and into lighter topics.“So, Elara,” Andrew spoke, “what exactly do you do?”Ela

    Later...“Thank you,” Elara muttered in a low tone to her bodyguard as she came down from the car.“Are you sure you'll be able to have Mr. Harrison support us for our upcoming runway?” Isabel's worried voice sounded through the phone.“Rest assured, Isabel. I'll give it my best, have faith,” Elara smiled.“Alright, God bless the day you joined our department.”Elara laughed, “I'll update you on whatever happens. Bye,” she replied then ended the call.“This way, Miss.”Elara nodded before following her bodyguard. Her eyes occasionally glanced around the area in awe while they walked.Seeing Beaumont Tech from this point of time felt so much different. Well, it wasn't the first time she'd come here.Married to Vance, she would occasionally come to pay him a surprise visit as the good loving wife that she was.Elara chuckled as she shook her head. Well, this time she was here to see Julian.They both stood in front of the elevator, waiting for it to open so they could board it.A few mi

    Julian walked into his room, placing Elara on the bed.“This isn't my room,” Elara muttered, but he acted like he didn't hear her.Julian lifted her gown to check her ankle.“I think I have the right ointment for it,” he muttered, walking to his wardrobe.“Here,” he handed her a pair of shirt and lounge pants. “Wear it once you're done having your bath.”Elara frowned. “Are you insinuating I'm going to sleep here? That's not going to happen,” she protested.Julian's lips curved. “It's either you go have your bath or I do it myself, no other way about it.”Elara glared at him as she stood up from the bed, limping to the bathroom. There was no talking him out of it once he had made up his mind.Once she was done showering, she laid back on the bed, feeling exhausted.She watched as Julian placed the first aid kit on the bed before taking her ankle.“Let me know if it hurts,” he muttered, then began tending to it.The room was silent as Julian tended to her ankle. Her gaze subtly travele
