While You Chose Her, I Claimed Everything [117] b
Liora ran as fast as she could, her pigtails bouncing from side to side with every tiny step. A wide smile lit up her innocent face, as though the whole world had become a better place simply because Tara had finally come home.By instinct, Tara immediately crouched down.The little girl threw herself into her without the slightest hesitation, wrapping her arms tightly around Tara's neck, nearly making her lose her balance.Tara returned the embrace with both arms, closing her eyes for a moment. The familiar scent of Liora's favorite strawberry shampoo filled her senses, while Liora's warm cheek rested against her shoulder.For some reason... all the burdens that had weighed on her chest since morning gradually felt a little lighter."I missed you," Liora murmured softly.Tara smiled, then kissed the top of the little girl's head over and over. "I missed you too."Liora pulled back slightly, then studied Tara's face intently. Her little brows slowly knitted together. "You look tired,

The sound of the car's engine filled the silence that had enveloped their journey ever since they left the courthouse complex. No one made any attempt to start a conversation. Gilbert, seated in the front passenger seat, occasionally checked the screen of his tablet to make sure there were no new developments from the legal team, while Victor sat beside Tara.From time to time, Gilbert reported on several work-related matters they had left behind during today's court proceedings.Unlike the others, Tara immediately leaned her head against the seat. Her eyelids slowly drifted shut, not because she wanted to sleep, but because her body was truly exhausted. Since morning, she had barely eaten anything. Hours of court proceedings, the media spotlight, endless questions, and the confrontation with Adrian and his family had drained every bit of energy she had.She took a long, deep breath, trying to ease the tension that had been building in her shoulders and the back of her neck.Victor gl

The officer held out his hand with a quiet click of his tongue. "Your phone, sir?"Without a word, Adrian handed it over."Take off your belt."He complied without the slightest protest."Shoes."The pair of handmade leather shoes he usually wore to board meetings was now placed casually on the metal table. One by one, without him even realizing it, every symbol of status that had defined him disappeared within minutes.The officer sealed the evidence bag. "Please check these belongings before we place them in storage."Adrian merely glanced at them before nodding. "Yes, that's everything.""Please put these on," the officer said, handing him a set of clothes that looked worn. Then he slid a form across the table. "Sign here."Adrian reluctantly changed into the clothes and took the pen with a heavy heart. For the first time since entering the building, his fingers trembled slightly. Not out of fear, but because only now did he truly realize that this was no longer just a threat.It w

The vehicle continued toward a place Adrian and Leonard had never been to before. They had never even imagined setting foot there. Inside the vehicle, they sat flanked by two officers with impassive, expressionless faces. The officers appeared calm, unlike Adrian and Leonard. Although the older man had remained silent the entire time, Adrian knew Leonard was uneasy.The man who had always carried himself with confidence now looked far older. His graying hair was disheveled, while his hands rested folded in his lap, his fingers twitching restlessly from time to time.Neither of them spoke. Not because there was nothing left to say, but because they both knew that no words could change what had already happened.Adrian closed his eyes for a moment. This had to be temporary. He was certain his legal team would find a way out. It was the sentence he kept repeating to himself.Marcus was merely playing a legal game. An appeal could still be filed, and he still had a chance."Don't move."T

"Kara, enough!" Helena gripped both of her daughter's shoulders more firmly. Although she tried to sound stern, her own voice trembled as well. She knew they had become the center of attention. The longer Kara lost control, the more people would watch them with curiosity.Fortunately, the elevator doors opened at that very moment.The middle-aged couple stepped out first. But before the doors closed again, the man paused briefly and turned to look at Kara. His gaze remained calm, almost devoid of emotion."If you feel offended," he deliberately paused for a moment, "perhaps it's because what we said is true."The elevator doors slowly closed.Nothing could be heard except the soft hum of the elevator as it resumed its ascent.Yet those final words seemed to echo endlessly in Kara's mind. She stood frozen, her breathing still ragged. Her jaw was clenched so tightly it began to ache, while her hands remained balled into fists without her even

One of the men let out a quiet sigh. "It's a shame."The man beside him shook his head. "The real victims are the investors who lost their money."The words were spoken without a trace of mockery. It was precisely because they were delivered so matter-of-factly that they struck far harder.Kara came to an abrupt stop. For the first time since leaving the courthouse, she truly felt that everyone in the room was staring at her.Helena gently took hold of her arm. "Come on."But Kara remained motionless for several seconds. Her jaw tightened, while her fingers slowly curled into fists at her sides. She knew they were talking about her. She knew that every glance directed at her was no longer filled with envy or admiration, but with curiosity.For the first time, walking through the hotel lobby felt far more difficult than facing dozens of reporters outside the courthouse.Helena gently tugged on her arm again. "Let's go."Kara let

The road stretched ahead, quiet and almost eerily calm. Tara drove at a steady pace, the traffic lights shifting from red to green as cars moved along in an orderly rhythm. The afternoon sky was clear—bright, almost indifferent.Nothing likes her.Inside the car, it felt as though a storm had settl

“Mm… slow down, Adrian.”The voice stopped Tara in her tracks just as she reached the door to her husband’s study. It was familiar—far too familiar. For a moment, she wondered if she had misheard.“…There’s no way I can go slow when it’s you.”Tara’s heart seemed to stop. That voice… Adrian?She di

The room was once again seized by a suffocating silence. Adrian could hear the ticking of the wall clock as though it were echoing inside his head."And?" the senior director from earlier asked, urging Keith to continue."We did not find a single invoice matching the one Mr. Adrian described," Keit

Ten minutes before Tara stepped into the center of the ballroom...Tara’s eyes widened in disbelief when the host confirmed the number displayed on the bidder’s panel.Sixty million.“Dad?”“Yes, Tara?” Victor smiled meaningfully at
