Chapter 41

•Cassie POV•The smoke coming from the car became even more intense. The rescue team rushed out immediately, running toward the car to rescue the driver, but before they could even get close, there was a loud ticking sound, then the car exploded.A loud gasp escape my lips as I fell to the ground, Jerald quickly stood behind me forming a protective stance over me. Everyone around us ducked because of the explosion, and if I wasn’t present, I would’ve sworn it was a Tsar bomb that had gone off.My ears rang painfully as heat brushed past my skin. I could taste smoke in my mouth as pieces of metal landed around us with loud crashes.“Are you okay?” Jerald asked, but I could barely hear him.My eyes drifted back to the car, or what was left of it, and my heart broke completely. The flames danced wildly, eating up everything in sight. There was no way anyone could have survived that.I knew exactly what had just happened would do to Jerald’s company.I didn’t know how Jerald truly felt at

Chapter 42

•Cassie POV•I sat on the couch opposite Mrs. Angela, my hands resting on my lap as my mind raced. I kept thinking of what to do, how I could help Jerald prove that the incident was a setup. But the voice of the reporter on the TV caught my attention, and I felt heat crawl up my sleeves.The woman from earlier, the one who had accused Jerald of killing her husband, stood in front of the camera, crying uncontrollably.“How am I going to survive without Andrew?” she cried, sniffling. “He was all I had. I told Andrew to quit working for Lewis Motor. Look at what happened. If Lewis Motor didn’t exist, my husband would be here with me now.”My chest tightened.Mrs. Angela grabbed the remote from the table and switched off the TV, throwing it aside angrily. “How could she say such a thing?” she snapped. “Whatever happened isn’t Jerald’s fault or his company’s fault. This is clearly a setup.”I opened my mouth to agree with her, to defend Jerald the way she had, but the words refused to come

Chapter 43

•Scott POV•I sat on the couch in my living room, scrolling through the list of companies on my tablet. There were so many companies I could propose an investment deal to, but the chances of getting one were low, all because of Layla’s father and the comment he made online about me years ago.I sighed deeply, rubbing my hand over my forehead.“This is fucking insane,” I muttered under my breath, my hand balling into a fist as Jerald’s rejection replayed in my mind. Somehow, my thoughts drifted to Cassie.The way she had stared at me the park as I spoke to her made me feel like if I kept pushing, she might eventually listen to me. And when she did, I would explain everything that happened in the past.Maybe if she understood, she would hate me less.And that alone would be to my advantage.The sound of heels clicking against the tiled floor pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see Layla walking in, a smile plastered on her face. I wondered what could possibly make her smile at

Chapter 44

•Cassie POV•I hesitated by the door for a while before pushing it open. Jerald was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the view with a glass cup of liquor in his hand.It had been a long time since I’d seen Jerald take alcohol. The few times I remembered him drinking was when we were out for a party or an event.I walked closer to him and sat on the couch opposite him. “My love, I’m so sorry for everything that happened today. I know saying everything will be alright won’t change anything, but the investigator will figure out who did this.”He didn’t say a word for a while. He took a sip from the drink before dropping the glass on the table. Then he turned to me. His eyes were slightly red, and the sight broke my heart.“I knew I had so many enemies,” he muttered without looking in my direction. “So many people who have always wanted to give others a reason to hate me and my company. But I didn’t know they would come this far.”I placed my hand on his, rubbing my thumb
