That answer left Tara with no rebuttal. For a few seconds, neither of them spoke. But unlike an awkward silence, the atmosphere between them felt comfortable.

"Yes, Dad. I know."

On the other end, Victor let out a relieved sigh. "I'm glad to hear that."

Tara frowned. "Hear what?"

"That you sound much better than you did yesterday. The fact that you're already protesting some of my decisions is proof enough."

That made Tara laugh.

"Thank you, Dad."

"You can thank me in a more useful way."

Victor has made himself very clear because Adrian is a crook aimed at robing his stepfather’s company along with Kara and most likely her parents. I can’t understand how he could do what he did to Tara and think she would never find out. He is a complete monster.

Victor already knows Adrian is screwing him and his company so why not hand him over to the police now. Followed by his minions

  • While You Chose Her, I Claimed Everything   [66] b

    Why did Victor trust Tara so much?Why did he always give his full support to her decisions?Why was a woman who had only joined Ashbourne Group a few years ago able to obtain such an important position?And why did Victor seem so concerned about her condition compared to other employees?Question after question was never actually answered.But that was exactly why readers began answering them for themselves. And when people start filling gaps in information with their own assumptions, rumors usually spread far faster than facts.By noon, the story had already spread beyond the Ashbourne Group environment. Its readership increased dramatically. Comments appeared nonstop across various platforms. Some media outlets began quoting the same article, while others wrote their own versions with far more sensational headlines.Inside the Ashbourne Group building itself, the atmosphere gradually changed. People were no longer talking about the ongoing audit. No longer discussing financial repo

  • While You Chose Her, I Claimed Everything   [66] a

    That morning, the atmosphere at Ashbourne Group headquarters was proceeding as usual.Employees arrived one after another starting at eight o'clock. Several secretaries could be seen carrying stacks of documents toward meeting rooms. The finance division had already become busy with monthly reports and important files requested by the audit team. Meanwhile, on the executive floor, various important agendas were already underway even before most employees had finished their morning coffee.Nothing seemed different. Everything was proceeding normally, even though the tension surrounding the audit process was still evident.The same was true for Kara, who had already returned to work. In her office, Kara appeared no different from any other day. She arrived on time, attended her scheduled meetings, then reviewed several reports submitted by her staff. Occasionally, she chatted with employees she encountered in the corridors. Even when one of her colleagues asked about her health after sh

    Adrian let out a short sigh. "I'm just saying that's not fair."Tara laughed softly, not a happy laugh, but one that sounded dismissive. "You don't need to defend me.""Tara.""You don't need to feel guilty about anyone treating me that way, either." Tara looked at him steadily. "Get rid of all your guilt and pity for me. I don't need any of it.""But—""Have you forgotten that you're also one of the people who often blamed and looked down on me?" Tara smirked faintly. "Don't forget what you've done to me, Adrian."Those words left Adrian at a loss. He could not deny anything Tara had said. Because for the first time, he realized that her words were true."You don't need to worry about me, Adrian," Tara said calmly, breaking the silence between them. "Just worry about Kara like you always do."Adrian's expression immediately tightened. "That's not what I mean." He quickly moved closer and tried to take Tara's hand. But Tara brushed him away at once.As though touching him would be a t

    Not long after Helena left the hospital room, the atmosphere became quiet again. Even so, the awkwardness between Liora and Tara could not simply be ignored."Did... Grandma make you sad?" Liora asked softly."No." Tara gave a faint smile. "I'm already used to hearing Grandma's comments. It's fine."Liora looked at Tara with a sorrowful gaze. "Please get better soon, Mommy Tara. You'll come back home, right?"Tara could not answer that question."I'll wait for you." Liora desperately hoped Tara would come home again. She had already promised to be a good child and do everything Tara told her. As far as she was concerned, even though Tara had many rules and restrictions, everything Tara said was for her own good.She didn't want to be hospitalized again. It was terrifying. Especially having to deal with needles. No. Liora didn't want that. That was why she intended to use this visit to persuade Tara to come home later. If necessary, she would personally come and pick her up.Meanwhile,

    Liora looked intently at Helena. She actually had a small request, but it seemed Helena did not approve. Even so, she was already very happy just to be able to visit Tara this time."Yes, Grandma," Liora said softly.As soon as she was given permission, the little girl immediately walked toward Tara's bed. But her steps slowed when only a few paces remained between them. Tara watched her quietly. Liora clearly wanted to come closer, very much so, but at the same time she seemed hesitant, as though she was not sure whether she was allowed to do that."Liora."The little girl immediately lifted her head."Why are you standing over there?"Liora seemed to bite her lower lip for a moment before finally stepping closer again. "I was afraid I'd bother you."Tara's smile instantly softened. "You never bother me."That answer made Liora's eyes brighten slightly. With a little more courage, she finally sat down in the chair beside the bed. Even so, the distance between them still felt strange.

    Tara clicked her tongue in annoyance.Not long afterward, Gilbert took his leave. He still had things to do, and Tara did not stop him.Once the door closed again, the atmosphere in the room gradually returned to calm. Only the soft hum of the air conditioner could be heard, along with the occasional sound of nurses' footsteps passing through the corridor outside. Susan, who had been standing by the window, chose to give Tara some space. The woman simply sat on the guest sofa, occasionally observing the surroundings, while Tara's attention was no longer focused on the company's internal audit.Slowly, she pulled one of the folders Gilbert had just delivered toward her. The gray folder looked ordinary enough. No different from the dozens of documents that passed across her desk almost every day. Yet somehow, as she opened the first page, a heavy feeling slowly filled her chest.Her gaze moved from one page to the next. Financial reports, transaction records, fund disbursement approvals
