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.

    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

    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 mu

    Morning arrived much sooner than Tara had expected.Perhaps because she had not truly slept well throughout the night. Her body had rested, but her mind had not. Sometimes she woke to the sound of nurses' footsteps as they checked on patients. At other times, she woke simply because she was thinkin

    "Do you know what's happening at the company right now?"Kara fell silent, and that prompted Adrian to continue. "The external audit is underway.""I know.""No. You don't." His voice was lower this time, carrying a pointed emphasis. "My father personally appointed Tara as the supervisor. In front

    "I don't want to hear any more excuses, Jimmy," Adrian said, breathing heavily. His eyes were reddened as he struggled to contain the anger surging inside him."Get that file before my father finds out," Adrian ordered in a final tone.As if giving Jimmy no chance to refuse or offer excuses for why
