Throughout the afternoon, Liora hardly left her side. She kept talking about all sorts of things. About her days during recovery, about how boring it had been to stay at home without being able to go anywhere, and about all the little things she considered important enough to share.

Tara simply listened, smiling from time to time. For the first time after days filled with the audit and various conflicts, everything around her felt much calmer.

When dinner time arrived, they ate together in the

Love how easily Adrian forgot what he actually had to trade to get those files. And then having the audacity to get mad because you…what? Thought she’d let the 2 of you continue to stay there? Nah, go stay at Kara’s apartment. And get used to it.

I can’t believe he would refer to Tara as that woman and even told Kara to continue to ruin her reputation. I guess he thought that Tara was the same woman that he deceived all those years but all I can say is surprise, surprise.

I am so amazed that Adrian felt that Tara is so dense. Kara is the one without a brain in her head. Tara deserves everything Adrian has because of the blatant disrespect and dishonesty. They both are criminals and criminals belong behind bars.

    The Neo Group director slowly shook his head. "Not at all. We're partnering with Ashbourne Group, not with the private lives of its executives."The man smiled politely. "As long as the event proceeds as planned and the project is completed successfully, we have no objections.""To be honest," he continued, "what disappointed us wasn't the news coverage. It was Mr. Adrian's performance lately. We hope that once this project officially begins, communication will continue to go through you."Tara smiled in relief. "That's my hope as well."The meeting ended nearly two hours later. Antonius let out a relieved sigh as soon as they stepped out of the conference room."I really thought they were going to cancel this partnership.""That was never going to happen," Tara said as she walked calmly down the corridor. "They just needed reassurance. And now they've got it."Antonius nodded quietly.When they reached the lobby, Tara stopped for a moment. She took her phone out of her bag and called

    Tara let out a long breath. Ever since she had left that morning, a deep sense of nervousness had lingered over her. The meeting with Neo Group could be considered one of the biggest tests of her performance before the board of directors, as well as before Victor Ashbourne.She hoped that all the hard work she had put in over the past several months wouldn't crumble because of a scandal that had nothing to do with her."Are you... ready?" Antonius asked. He was one of Gilbert's trusted staff members, assigned to accompany Tara that morning.When he had picked her up earlier, Antonius had looked visibly tense. Tara, on the other hand, had done her best to remain calm and composed."Of course." Tara smiled faintly. Then she stepped out of the car with complete confidence. They arrived at the Neo Group building fifteen minutes ahead of their scheduled meeting.Antonius walked a few steps behind her, carrying all the documents they had prepared the night before. As soon as they entered th

    Tara's eyes widened. "I didn't...""I told you not to go near the lake," Helena continued, this time in a much louder voice. "Why didn't you look after your sister?""I tried to stop her...""But you still took her there!""I didn't take—""Enough!" Leonard's roar echoed through the room. He glared at Tara, his face filled with anger and fear that had not yet completely faded."If you hadn't taken Kara to play on the dock, none of this would have happened."Tara stood frozen. She blinked in disbelief. "Dad, Kara was the one who wanted to play with the boat—""But you knew about Kara's condition. Why didn't you stop her?" Leonard glared at Tara, his eyes filled with anger. "You were supposed to look after her."At last, tears rolled down Tara's cheeks. "But I tried to save her."She still remembered how Kara's body had kept pulling her beneath the water. She still remembered how difficult it had been to breathe as she struggled to keep her sister's head above the surface of the lake.Y

    But everything happened too fast.The edge of Kara's sandal landed on the moss clinging to the wooden planks. Her small body lost its balance. Both arms flailed in the air, desperately searching for something to hold on to."Kara!"Her tiny body plunged into the lake. Within seconds, the water swallowed her whole."Kara!"Tara didn't even have time to scream for help. The moment she saw Kara's head break the surface for an instant before disappearing beneath the water again, her small body moved faster than her mind.She jumped.The freezing water instantly enveloped her entire body, knocking the breath from her lungs. Even though fear gripped her chest, she paid it no attention. Tara wasn't truly a good swimmer yet. But at that moment, she had only one thought. She had to save Kara."Kara!"Her voice disappeared beneath the water along with the stream of bubbles escaping from her mouth.Her eyes searched frantically in every direction until they finally caught sight of the small figu

    The mansion fell silent again after Helena's car disappeared beyond the estate.No more shouting disturbed the peaceful afternoon. The gates were shut tightly once more, while the servants returned to their duties as though nothing had happened. The rest of the day resumed its usual rhythm. But for some people, an argument never truly ends when the last voice falls silent.Just like Tara.She remained standing for a few moments behind the glass balcony door on the second floor. Her uncertain gaze lingered through the curtain she had just drawn shut. Even though Helena was no longer in sight, the woman's voice continued to echo inside her head, as though the walls of the room were repeating every word that had just been spoken."You set Adrian up and got him arrested!""You humiliated your own sister!""You even had the heart to drag your own father into this! Where is your conscience, Tara?!""You don't even deserve to be called my daughter!"Tara squeezed her eyes shut. Normally, wor

    Liora thought for a few seconds, rubbing the tip of her chin before finally saying, “Admit they were wrong, then sincerely apologize. Just like I did with you. I was wrong, and I apologized. I hoped you would forgive me, Mom.”“I already have,” Tara said. The little girl's simple answer made the faint curve at the corner of Tara's lips grow even softer, though it carried a deeper, unspoken meaning. “Yes... that's what they should do.”Not long afterward, the mansion's front gate bell suddenly rang loudly. Once. Twice. Then, within seconds, it turned into a relentless barrage of ringing as someone repeatedly pressed the button without pause, shattering the peaceful calm of the late afternoon.Tara looked up, while Liora's nanny, who had been standing quietly in the corner of the room, turned around in surprise as well. A moment later, one of the housemaids hurried over.“Ma'am,” the maid called hesitantly. “There's a visitor.”“Who is it?” Tara asked calmly.The maid held up a tablet c

    After saying that, Tara got out of the car without waiting for Adrian. Her steps were calm as she made her way down the corridor toward Liora's hospital room. Her expression was unreadable. She didn't appear rushed, nor did she show excessive concern. But deep in her heart, there was an uneasiness

    Adrian's jaw immediately tightened.Tara turned her gaze away again. “Besides, I went at Mr. Victor's request. Not for entertainment.”Silence settled between them once more. Several minutes passed before Adrian spoke again.“You know,” he said quietly, “the past few days have been quite troublesom

    “Do you know Liora's actual condition?” Adrian ignored what Tara had just said. As much as he wanted to raise his voice, if he did, his plan to get Tara's help would surely fall apart.Tara, who had been about to leave Adrian's office, stopped once again. For several moments, she simply stood there

    Since Adrian returned from the board meeting, the atmosphere on the executive floor had become significantly more tense. Everyone could clearly see that Adrian was in an exceptionally bad mood.No one dared approach him unless it was absolutely necessary. “Redo this report.”One of the marketing di
