He smiled in satisfaction. As though that still wasn't enough to say everything he wanted, Adrian spoke again. "In fact, I'll be filing fraud charges against Tara."The room fell silent once more. Every eye turned toward Tara, yet she didn't appear the least bit flustered.Instead, she looked at Adrian calmly. "What exactly did I deceive you about?"Adrian let out a scoff. "Don't play dumb. You know exactly what I'm talking about."Tara slowly opened the folder she had brought with her. From inside, she took out a document containing numerous photographs, along with a memory card.Tara slowly opened the folder she had brought with her. From inside, she took out several screenshots along with a memory card. She then handed them to the investigator for examination.Tara's gaze remained calm as it stayed fixed on Adrian. Then she said, "That agreement was made entirely at your own request, Adrian. I wasn't the one who came looking for you. You

Tara stepped out of her car without hesitation, ignoring Adrian's gaze, which had been fixed on her the entire time. It was sharp and filled with hatred. Beneath the coldness in his eyes, Tara could see the exhaustion he had failed to hide. His face was slightly pale, his eyes were swollen, and his jaw tightened every time their gazes met. Clearly, the previous night had not been an easy one for Adrian.Their eyes met.For several seconds, neither of them moved until Adrian finally strode toward Tara without hesitation."Tara." His voice was cold. "Satisfied now?"Tara remained where she was. She didn't flinch, even though the man standing before her might do something reckless. "What do you mean?""Don't pretend you don't know." Adrian let out a scornful laugh. "You're the one behind all of this, aren't you? My name is being talked about everywhere. And now your father has been dragged into it too. Isn't this exactly what you wanted from the begin

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

Tara ignored him completely. Instead, she handed the envelope directly to Victor.Victor opened it slowly while the entire room watched in silence.The moment his eyes reached the final page, Victor’s expression sharpened as he looked toward Adrian.“Dad?” A

The one caught off guard wasn’t just Adrian, but Tara as well.For a brief moment, she completely lost the ability to think. Watching Victor Ashbourne walk into her office alongside Gilbert and another man who looked every bit like a professional lawyer made her heartbeat stumble vio

“Don’t play games with me.”Tara’s gaze instantly turned cold. “I already warned you that night, Adrian.”The room fell silent at once, Tara’s voice carrying enough restrained anger and emotion to make the tension snap tight in the air. Jimm

“Are you sure about this, Mr. Adrian?” Jimmy asked hesitantly.“Yes,” Adrian replied curtly. After giving Jimmy instructions regarding the divorce request involving Tara, he leaned back against the passenger seat, finally allowing himself a moment to close his eyes.He hadn’t slept well all night.
