If Zero had been wearing fireproof clothing at the time of the explosion, there was a pretty high chance that he would have made it out of the fire unscathed.Beverly didn't answer Kyle's question, and instead asked, "Why are you hospitalized?""Oh, Tabby and I went out for fondue last night. The waiter accidentally tipped the pot over, and I got some boiling cheese on my neck," Kyle explained blandly. "Have you come to… visit me, Beverly?"He fished out his phone and showed them pictures he'd taken with Tabitha at the fondue restaurant. He also accidentally showed them the picture of his neck after he'd been scalded by hot cheese."I followed you last night. You were at the mall," Evan countered."Why were you following me?" Kyle demanded."Because you're Zero, the hacker!" Evan snapped."Me? Zero?" Kyle snorted. "If I were Zero, I would have crippled Skyscape Tech to keep you so busy that you wouldn't have time to harass Beverly! You surprise me with how low you'd stoop to get

The light bouncing off Kyle's glasses added a sinister touch to his gaze, which turned icy at Beverly's words. Elaine had brought Beverly along on all her business trips since she was a baby. They'd been inseparable.And yet, Elaine had never so much as spared Kyle a look or carried him in her arms. She'd only ever scowled at him and constantly loathed his presence.Oblivious to Kyle's animosity, Beverly continued, "And the technicians at Shield Link Technologies are embarrassingly bad at their work—not to mention the business is doing poorly, with its finances basically running a deficit all the time."The poor finances didn't start only after my mother's passing; it's been that way since the company's establishment. As far as I recall, she ran a few other tech companies that were doing well, and she was busy running them."But Shield Link Technologies is the exact opposite of those… It's almost as if my mother set it up just for it to fall apart, like she never intended to run

The crowd inside the restaurant was a mix of high society and the rest of the masses. Beverly staked a booth by the window, checking the time on her watch every now and then.At that moment, a tall and straight-backed figure appeared before her. She frowned and raised her hand to get a waiter's attention. "Check, please!"Marvin stopped the waiter from handing the check to Beverly. "Your meals here will be on the house from now on, Ms. Sinclair."Not wanting to waste her time and energy on Marvin, Beverly rose from her seat and headed out. However, Francine cut her off.The older woman looked as arrogant as before, and there was clear contempt in her eyes as she snapped, "Come with me."It was more of an order than an invitation. Francine led the way to a private dining room, and Beverly followed her without hesitation. Marvin brought up the rear and closed the door behind him.Francine began, "Carly has been well-behaved since she was a child, and she'd never get into trouble. A

Kyle had grown up being tormented by Wayne, Isla, and Elaine.One day, he had suddenly collapsed. When he had come around, a heart that didn't belong to him had been beating in his chest. It was a disgusting thing, and he'd detested it. There had been times when he'd believed Elaine refused to come back because his heart wasn't his own.She had known there was a way she could come back to life here, yet she would sooner choose death and watch her daughter struggle alone than return home.She must have hated living with the Dawsons.She must have hated Kyle.The boom of a gunshot split the air.Beverly jumped, her heart skipping a beat as her umbrella slipped from her hand and clattered to the ground. She braced against the wind and rain as she glanced in the direction the gunshot came from, then walked toward it before finally breaking into a run.She had no idea what she would find there, but she couldn't shake the voice in her head urging her to go. She stood on one end of t

"Mrs. Bronson, why is your hair dripping wet? Here, I'll help you dry it off," Kathy offered.James turned and headed downstairs.15 minutes later, he was in his study, his clothes impeccable, and his expression solemn."Chief Bronson, Ms. Sinclair—" Wendell broke off when James cut him a sharp look, and he continued with some correction, "I mean, Mrs. Bronson went to the hospital to see Mr. Gray after leaving the government complex today."After that, she went to visit Mr. Kyle Dawson. She left in a hurry earlier to visit him again, but he was suddenly called away on a mission. It seems his father has sent him abroad."James' brows furrowed. He set the document he'd been reading on the table. The document was a list of individuals he was keeping tabs on and their movements for the day. The operators had lost track of Kyle several times.Wendell's stomach knotted. "He hasn't returned to the hospital since leaving in the evening."The air in the study went still for a few moments
