Chapter 122 Suspicion Lily's POVI was sitting at my desk, trying to focus on the sheet of paper before me, but my mind was restless. The house was too quiet, yet I could feel the weight of unseen eyes on me. It had been this way since morning—an uncomfortable feeling that something was amiss.Simeon had insisted that I stay home, refusing to let me go to work. We had argued about it, and I had tried to get him to see that I wasn't some fragile person who needed to be kept under lock and key. But in the end, I had given in—not because I felt he was right, but because I knew he wasn't going to change his mind even if i sins it, he and Nelson already agreed. Even now, I could hear him walking around downstairs, locking doors, making calls, keeping security around the house tight. Nelson had also joined him, informing me that the ones pursuing me would not let go so easily. But that was not to mean that I was going to just sit here and do nothing.I looked back at my computer, but my

Chapter 124 : MissionCara's POVThe room was quiet, but not in a peaceful way. The silence clung between us thick and heavy with tension and unspoken words and exhaustion weighing on all of us like a heavy burden. Only the tick of the clock that loomed on the wall cut through it, every tick sounding like the marking of some inevitable countdown.Nelson leaned back in the couch, rubbing his forehead, his face expressionless but his body language screaming frustration. He was tired. His shoulders were slouched, his usually piercing eyes lackluster with exhaustion. He had slept little in days, and it was starting to catch up with him.Simeon, though, paced back and forth by the window, his jaw clenched. He was always the one who kept it together, the one who would never give in to panic. Even in all that had happened, he was steadfast, trying to keep us from falling apart.I stood next to the table, looking down at my phone. The message left there earlier remained on the screen, mocking

Chapter 126 – Simeon's POV : Frustrated When I heard Adrian's voice in the earpiece, my hands gripped the steering wheel tighter. A cold, lethal fury developed inside my chest as I listened to him mock Lily, his voice dripping with venom. Then Vanessa spoke.It was then that my anger set and turned into something lethal.Nelson cursed alongside me, fists balled. "Son of a bitch." His voice strained with incredulity. "I knew Adrian was an asshole, but Vanessa—" He shook his head. "She's been waiting for this moment.""This isn't about business." My voice was cold, repressed, although fires of outrage burned inside of me.Nelson nodded, his jaw clamped. "This is personal.".I stamped down harder on the gas pedal, and the car skidded through the nearly deserted roads. The warehouse was not so far away, but each passing second was an eternity.Then Lily's voice cut through the transmission."So now what? You threaten me? Hurt me? That's the plan?"Silence.Then Adrian's low, laughing voi

Chapter 128 – Lily's POVPeaceThere was a crackling tension in the air.I stalked around the room, crossing my arms tightly over my chest, my irritation brewing just below the surface.Nelson sprawled on the couch, his arms stretched over the backrest of it, but even he did not seem settled, his gaze flicking from me to Simeon.And Simeon—he sat behind his desk, crossing his ankles, his fingers idly drumming against the highly polished wood as if he were not the man who had taken the company down.The silence grew, dense and heavy.I could no longer contain it."You had no right to do that."Simeon raised a brow, his dark eyes barely lifting to meet my own. "No right?" His voice was too even, too restrained, and it served only to further infuriate me."Yes, Simeon. No right!" I threw my arms up in the air. "You let go of an entire team of employees today! You didn't even stop to think! Do you have any idea what that's going to do to the company?"Simeon sat back, his expression unyie

Chapter 130 – A New Plan(Lily's POV)The tension between Simeon and me still lingered after the fight about the workers, but we both knew we needed a break from it all—the stress, the brawling, the endless fighting against Adrian. So, when Nelson mentioned a struggling village outside of the city, I saw a chance.We must leave," I told Simeon that morning, eating breakfast. "Those people are needy. You have resources, and this would be a good thing."Simeon folded his arms, sat back in his chair. "Lily, this is not the time for altruism. We have more critical problems to fight."."I know," I said, my tone calm. "But this isn't about giving food or supplies. We need help, and right now, people believe Adrian more because he gives them work. If we help them first, we might be able to find someone useful."Simeon exhaled a harsh breath, rubbing his temples. "You always have an idea, don't you?"I shrugged. "I learned from the best."There was a long silence before he nodded at last. "Fi
