While You Chose Her, I Claimed Everything [88] b
Every head turned toward Tara. Since the beginning of the meeting, the woman had mostly remained silent, but this time she had spoken up.And it made nearly everyone in Victor’s office turn their full attention to her.“The Neo Group project has no connection to the audit findings. Today’s issues are centered on the projects under Adrian’s supervision. As long as we can convince Neo Group that their project is secure, this partnership can still be saved.”“How do we convince them?” one of the directors asked.Tara lifted her gaze. “I’ll meet with them. You can’t possibly have forgotten that the negotiations I’ve handled with Neo Group have always ended well. I’m confident they’ll be willing to listen to my explanation.”Several directors exchanged glances. For the first time that day, they did not see Tara as Adrian’s wife or the Ashbourne family’s daughter-in-law. They saw the woman who had long been the primary liaison for many of the company’s major projects.Silence settled over t

Victor’s office door stood wide open because several directors had come to see him after the meeting to discuss the external audit findings had concluded. On their way to Victor’s office, most of them had never imagined what would happen. Except for a few names who had been involved in helping Adrian. Some of them remained busy at their respective desks, either erasing the traces of their crimes or preparing to take responsibility for what they had done.But one thing was certain: Victor had no intention of giving them any opportunity to escape.As soon as Victor’s office door closed again, the atmosphere became even more tense. No one moved from their seats. If the room’s attention had previously been consumed by the audit findings and the arrest of Ashbourne’s CEO, they now had to face consequences far greater than that.Several directors exchanged glances. Some were still in shock, while others were busy checking their phones, which continued to be flooded with notifications.“The

The group of staff members immediately fell silent and turned toward her almost at the same time. Some looked surprised at being caught, but none of them appeared frightened, uncomfortable, or guilty. And it was precisely that reaction that made Kara’s chest feel even tighter.Until now, people had always been careful around her, always watched what they said, and always tried to please her. Today was different. They merely looked at her impassively, with no desire to take back their words and no intention of apologizing.As if what they had been saying was simply the truth.“You’re spreading lies!” Kara accused, her voice rising.No one responded. One of the female staff members gave a faint smile and said, “We saw the news this morning, Miss Kara. So we’re not the ones spreading lies.”The sentence sounded simple, yet it felt far more insulting than any rebuttal. “You...”“That’s enough, Kara.” Helena immediately grabbed her daughter’s arm firmly. “We’re leaving.”“I’m not done talk

“We should go back to your office, Kara,” said Helena, who still looked confused by everything that had happened.Her husband had just left without saying a word. But judging by the expression on Leonard’s face, something serious seemed to have happened at his office. Helena was curious, but she had to restrain herself.Meanwhile, Kara continued staring at the elevator that had carried Adrian and her father away a few minutes earlier. The doors had already closed tightly. The corridor was gradually becoming quiet again. The directors who had gathered there began leaving the area one by one, while several staff members returned to their desks.Although activities were slowly returning to normal, Kara knew that not a single person truly considered today an ordinary day.Everything had changed, and there was only one person responsible.“Tara,” Kara hissed resentfully. Her hands clenched tightly at the mere thought of that name.Helena, standing beside her, immediately turned to look at

Leonard could barely remember how he had left the Ashbourne Group building. Throughout the drive to Valmont Holdings, his mind was filled with one terrible possibility after another, each surfacing without end. His phone rang repeatedly. Investors, board members, senior managers, and even several old business associates who rarely contacted him took turns calling.He did not answer a single one of those calls. He simply tossed his phone onto the passenger seat as he drove through the city's main roads.“They’ve arrived.”His secretary’s words kept echoing in his head. The investigative team, the seizure of documents, and the request for comprehensive transaction records. None of that was something that happened without reason.Leonard stared out the car window, his jaw tightening. The more he thought about it, the stronger the unease filling his chest became. How had everything escalated this far? Hadn't the audit originally been conducted internally within Ashbourne Group? Then why wa

“What exactly did I do?” Tara tilted her head slightly, looking at Kara impassively. “Because people finally found out what you've been doing all this time?”“You!” Kara pointed at Tara without caring that almost everyone in the corridor was watching her. She was gritting her teeth and clenching her fists tightly.But Tara did not give her a chance to interrupt. “You should be asking yourself that.” Tara’s gaze briefly shifted toward Adrian, who looked increasingly helpless beside the two police officers, before returning to Kara. “Wasn't it you two who did all of that behind my back?”No one answered. The corridor suddenly fell silent because, for the first time, Kara did not have a single sentence she could use to argue back. The evidence that had spread today was simply too strong to deny.Tara did not wait for any response from her twin. She resumed walking, passing Kara, Helena, and Leonard as if they were not there. She moved forward as though the chaos that had just destroyed A

Adrian did not answer immediately.For a moment, he simply sat there in silence, as though considering which words would be best to use. But Victor’s calm gaze made him realize that the man was not giving him time to formulate a strategy.Victor was simply waiting for him to speak.“I want to talk

Adrian let out a long sigh again and again. He had no idea how many dozens of calls he had made and how many messages he had sent to Kara, but the result was the same... the woman was ignoring him.“Damn it!” Adrian growled through gritted teeth.The curse slipped out from between his teeth. His ha

Tara looked at Victor with uncertainty in her eyes. “I... want him to experience losing, one by one, the things he takes pride in.”Victor laughed instead. “You’re truly amusing, Tara.”Tara’s brow furrowed. “Amusing?”“Yes,” Victor replied without hesitation. “The conditions you proposed and the r

“How?”Victor’s question made Tara smile as she nodded. “You were right. This soup is really good. It goes perfectly with the roasted chicken.”Victor smiled in satisfaction. “I’m glad you like it.”Dinner was far more peaceful than Tara had imagined. Only now did she realize how hungry she was. Si
