Chapter 511

Author: Eli Sole
“Who exactly was hiding something?” Kiera only muttered the words in her heart.

On the surface, she kept her tone casual and said, “I was watching a promotional video Miss Xander produced. I didn’t want you to get the wrong idea if you saw it.

“If you don’t believe me, take a look for yourself.”

As she spoke, Kiera handed her phone to Sean, her expression calm and composed.

Sean frowned slightly. “Layla Xander? Isn’t her studio the one Mr. Lucas Sr. basically shut down?”

“You seem pretty up to date on her situation,” Kiera said with a half-smile. “Here I thought you didn’t know anything.”

“I just... heard about it. Everyone in the circle has,” Sean said, clearly uncomfortable, avoiding her gaze. “She crossed the Lucas family. Of course she was going to end up like this. When she first came back, everyone was talking about her, but in the end, all it took was one word from Mr. Lucas Sr. and her studio couldn’t land a single project.”

“Is that so?”

    Just thinking about it made Xena’s eyes well up again.Back then, she had kept Sean around just to watch him crash and burn—to see how pathetic a heartless man like him could become.But now, seeing him hovering between life and death tore at her like a blade to the chest.The more she thought about it, the angrier and more devastated she became. Her chest tightened with helpless rage. With a sharp growl, she slammed her fist against the glass and muttered under her breath, “Bastard.”“Get lost! Get the hell out!”A sudden roar tore through the hallway. Before she could react, someone grabbed her roughly by the arm and yanked her back.Xena stumbled, slamming into the wall behind her. Pain shot through her spine as she looked up to see Susan glaring at her with seething rage.“This is all your fault!” Susan screamed. “You’re nothing but poison! If anything happens to Sean, I swear I’ll never forgive you!”Susan’s voice was hoarse from screaming. Her hair was a mess, her cloth

    “I’m sorry.”Hannah’s voice was hoarse. Other than those two words, she didn’t know what else to say. The overwhelming guilt crashing down on her was almost too much to bear.Layla understood why Hannah was being so stubborn. It was because she still felt indebted to Sean for recognizing her potential back then.But just because she understood didn’t mean she could accept it unconditionally.“I’ll be waiting for the day you regret this,” Layla said flatly.With that, she turned and walked out of the office, leaving Hannah with nothing but the sight of her retreating back.Hannah instinctively reached out, wanting to stop her. But in the end, she didn’t say a word—only watched helplessly as Scarlett followed Layla out the door.They stopped in front of the elevator. Scarlett finally broke the silence.“You still haven’t answered me. Are we going ahead with the investment or not?”Layla paused, then turned to her with an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry you came all this way for not

    “If you can’t hold onto it, why keep pretending? Either get on your knees and beg for my help, or hand over control of the magazine.”Just as Stanley’s words landed, the office door swung open.Layla stepped inside, calm and poised under everyone’s gaze. “You don’t need to worry about the magazine’s funding. If Sean Perry wants to pull out, he’s free to go through the proper channels.“In fact, I’m here to invest.”Another voice followed as high heels clicked across the floor—Scarlett entered the room with effortless elegance.Stanley froze, completely stunned. “M-Mrs. Lucas? Why are you…?”Scarlett didn’t even look at him. She turned instead to the lawyer beside her and gave quiet instructions.The lawyer nodded and stepped forward. “If you have questions about the new investment, I’m your point of contact. And if you’re proceeding with withdrawal, you’ll need to provide all related documentation so we can complete the transition as soon as possible.”Stanley was speechless. H

    On the call, Hannah Stone’s assistant quickly explained the situation to Layla.Somehow, Stanley had gotten involved with Xena. The two showed up at the magazine office together that day—with a lawyer in tow. Xena claimed she was acting on behalf of Sean and came to terminate the investment agreement. She gave Hannah two options: either repay the full amount immediately or hand over ‘Fan’.Although ‘Fan’ had been gaining momentum, it was still a young publication. There was no way a newly launched magazine could have that much liquid capital on hand. Forcing Hannah to pay back the investment now was essentially cornering her.At that moment, Xena was still inside, waiting for Hannah’s decision.“I’ll head over now,” Layla said firmly.The assistant’s relief was immediate. “That’s great!”After hanging up, the assistant stared anxiously at the office door, which remained tightly shut. Inside, Xena sat on the sofa, legs crossed, looking relaxed as she watched Hannah behind her de

    “Of course, if Shane keeps hiding, then the debt he owes will fall on all of you.“So you'd better figure out a way to contact him and get him to turn himself in. That’s the only way everyone walks away happy.”With that, Zion ordered a few guards to remain behind and keep the Xander family under surveillance. From that moment on, they would be living under his watchful eye.As he left, Mrs. Xander collapsed onto the couch, sobbing uncontrollably.“What kind of nightmare is this? What did our family ever do to deserve this?”Mr. Xander sat frozen in his wheelchair, so furious that his mouth twisted to one side. Saliva dribbled down from his trembling lips. He looked pitiful, completely defeated.Chris said nothing.They had believed that handing Shane over would be enough to protect the family. No one had expected him to escape.Back in his room, Chris called Layla and told her everything—Shane’s disappearance and the guards now stationed outside their home.All he got in retu

    The next morning, news of Shane’s disappearance sent shockwaves through the entire Lucas estate.Zion stood in the courtyard, fuming, as he berated the team of bodyguards.“Are you all completely useless? You couldn’t even keep track of one man? And you expect me to believe you can protect the rest of this family?“If Shane’s not found, you’re all out. Don’t even think about showing your faces here again.“Get lost! All of you! Pathetic!”With that, the guards scattered in all directions, scrambling to track down Shane's whereabouts.Camila quietly approached Zion and placed a gentle hand on his arm. “The security footage from last night... it all happened to 'update' at exactly the same time. I'm worried we might have someone on the inside.”“I know,” Zion replied through clenched teeth, his expression dark. “Whoever it is, they’re finished.”Upstairs in the study, Mr. Lucas Sr. and Lucien sat across from each other, quietly playing chess.It didn’t take long for Mr. Lucas Sr
