Smoke filled the warehouse.

Evelyn coughed as Adrian pulled her closer.

“Stay with me.”

“I am.”

Another explosion sounded somewhere near the entrance.

The security guards shouted over one another.

“Everyone out!”

Adrian grabbed Evelyn's hand.

“Move!”

They hurried through the smoke.

Behind them, Victor was helping Margaret toward the exit while Sophia followed closely.

Then Evelyn heard a cry.

“Adrian!”

She turned.

Sophia had fallen.

A piece of broken wood had landed across her leg.

  • The CEO's Secret Divorce   Chapter 82 — The Man Holding the Gun

    Evelyn couldn't move.Daniel Bennett stood in the doorway, the gun pointed toward the floor.His expression was nothing like the frightened lawyer they had known.“Daniel?” Evelyn whispered.Adrian stepped in front of her.“Put the gun down.”Daniel's eyes moved to Adrian.“I don't want to hurt either of you.”“Then put it down,” Adrian repeated.Daniel slowly raised the gun.Michael stepped forward.“Daniel, what are you doing?”Daniel's jaw tightened.“Trying to finish what I should have finished twenty-five years ago.”Evelyn's heart pounded.“What does that mean?”Daniel looked at her.“I was there the night your mother died.”“I know.”“No,” he said. “You don't know everything.”He lowered the gun slightly.“I didn't just arrive after she was poisoned.”Evelyn stared at him.

  • The CEO's Secret Divorce   Chapter 81 — The Night Anna Died

    Evelyn stared at the photograph.Her fingers tightened around its edges.There was Anna.Richard.Thomas Reed.And Daniel Bennett.All standing together in the old Blackwood house on the very night Anna had been poisoned.“Daniel…” Evelyn whispered.Adrian stepped closer, his eyes fixed on the photograph.“Something isn't right.”Evelyn looked at him. “What do you mean?”“If Daniel was part of the plan to hurt your mother, why did he spend years helping your family?”Before Evelyn could answer, footsteps echoed from behind them.They turned.Michael Bennett stood at the entrance of the hidden room.His face had gone pale.“That photograph,” he said quietly.Evelyn raised it.“You know what happened that night.”Michael swallowed.“Yes.”Adrian stepped toward him.“Then stop protecting peo

  • The CEO's Secret Divorce   Chapter 80: The Truth They Buried

    Evelyn stared at Michael.“Your father knew.”Those words echoed in her mind.Adrian didn't move.“My father knew what?”Michael looked at him.“Everything.”Adrian's jaw tightened.“You're going to have to explain.”Michael nodded.“Your father wasn't a criminal, Adrian. He was trying to protect Anna.”Evelyn stepped closer.“Then why did my grandfather become involved?”Michael sighed.“Because your grandfather created the entire plan.”“What plan?”“To protect Blackwood's money from Richard and Marcus.”Evelyn frowned.“But Marcus said my grandfather was protecting a secret.”“He was.”Michael looked at her.“The money being transferred to your father's company wasn't stolen money.”Adrian's eyes widened.“Then what was it?”“Your grandfather's personal fortune.”

  • The CEO's Secret Divorce   Chapter 79: The Man Who Was Supposed to Be Dead

    Evelyn couldn't move.“Daniel's brother is dead?” she repeated.Adrian nodded slowly.“That is what your father said.”“But Daniel just named him.”“Exactly.”Evelyn looked at the old house around them.For the first time, she didn't feel afraid.She felt exhausted.“How many more secrets can one family have?”Adrian stepped closer.“Hopefully, this is the last one.”She gave him a tired smile.“You've said that before.”“I know.”“And it keeps getting worse.”“Then this time, we stop chasing every shadow.”Evelyn looked at him.“What do you mean?”“We go to Daniel. We ask him exactly what he knows. No assumptions. No guessing.”She nodded.“Agreed.”---They arrived at the hospital shortly afterward.Daniel was lying in a private room with a bandage around his fore

  • The CEO's Secret Divorce   Chapter 78: The Secret About Adrian's Family

    The sound of the car engine disappeared into the distance.Evelyn remained frozen.She looked at Marcus.“Say that again.”Marcus's expression was serious.“Your grandfather was secretly funding Adrian's father's company.”Adrian stepped forward.“My father never mentioned the Blackwoods.”“Because he wasn't supposed to.”“Why?”Marcus looked at him.“Because your father was helping your grandfather move money away from Richard and me.”Adrian's eyes narrowed.“So my father wasn't involved in the theft?”“No.”“Then why did you say Anna was killed because of his company?”“Because Anna discovered where the money was going.”Evelyn frowned.“Where?”Marcus pointed toward the folder.“Your grandfather had created a second account. Money was being transferred into your father's company and held there.”

  • The CEO's Secret Divorce   Chapter 77: The Name in the File

    Evelyn stared at the first page.JAMES CARTER.Her heart sank.“No.”She turned another page.There were copies of financial records, old contracts, and handwritten notes.James's name appeared repeatedly.Adrian stepped closer.“Let me see.”Evelyn handed him the file.His expression became increasingly serious.“What does it say?”Adrian scanned the documents.“James wasn't just an employee.”Evelyn looked at him.“What was he?”“He was connected to Carter Financial Group.”Marcus stood silently near the doorway.Evelyn turned toward him.“You knew this.”“Yes.”“You knew James was involved?”“I knew he had been involved.”“That isn't the same thing.”Marcus nodded.“You're right.”Evelyn's voice trembled with anger.“Then explain.”
