All Chapters of Divorced while carrying his secret : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The moment Rowan’s car pulled into the underground garage of his penthouse building, Lucian’s phone rang again.Then again.And again.“Media,” Lucian muttered, rejecting the calls one after another. “They’re circling like vultures.”Rowan stepped out of the car, his expression unreadable.Elena and Amara followed.Inside the private elevator, the silence was thick.The screen on Lucian’s phone kept lighting up with new alerts.He finally spoke.“It’s worse than I thought.”Rowan leaned against the wall.“How bad?”Lucian turned the phone so everyone could see.Another headline had appeared.FORMER HALE EXECUTIVE CLAIMS ROWAN ORDERED CORPORATE SABOTAGEAmara frowned.“Former executive?”Lucian nodded slowly.“Someone just gave an interview.”Elena’s stomach dropped.“Victor paid someone.”Rowan didn’t look surprised.“Of course he did.”The elevator doors opened into the penthouse.Rowan walked straight toward the living room where a massive screen covered one wall.Lucian turned on

Lucian grabbed the remote from the hotel desk and turned on the television.The screen lit up instantly.A news anchor sat at a large desk, her expression serious.“—this shocking development has raised new questions about the Hale family history. According to documents received this morning, Elena Hale’s biological mother may still be alive after disappearing more than two decades ago.”Elena felt the room spin slightly.Rowan placed a steady hand on her shoulder.Lucian turned up the volume.The anchor continued.“We are now joined by investigative journalist Mark Rivera, who obtained the documents late last night.”A man appeared on the screen beside her.Lucian frowned.“That’s the journalist I sent Victor’s documents to.”Rowan’s eyes darkened.“Which means Victor intercepted them.”Rivera began speaking.“The documents reveal that twenty-four years ago, a woman named Isabella Marlowe gave birth to a daughter connected to the Hale family.”Elena’s breath caught.“Isabella…”Lucia

The soft click of the locked door echoed through the hospital room.Elena was still holding Isabella when the sound registered.She slowly turned.Victor stood calmly near the door, his hand still resting on the lock.Rowan’s expression darkened instantly.“You just made a mistake.”Victor looked almost amused.“No.”He stepped further into the room.“I just ensured no one leaves before we finish this conversation.”Lucian glanced toward the windows.Two armed guards stood outside in the hallway as well.He sighed softly.“Yes… definitely a cage.”Isabella pulled away from Elena slightly.Her hands were trembling.“Victor, you promised this meeting would be peaceful.”Victor’s voice remained calm.“And it will be.”Rowan moved closer to Elena.“You’ve kept her hidden for twenty-four years.”Victor tilted his head.“I protected her.”Isabella’s voice sharpened.“Don’t lie.”Everyone looked at her.She met Victor’s gaze directly.“You didn’t protect me.”Her voice shook with anger.“Yo

The hallway outside the hospital room buzzed with activity.Federal agents moved back and forth, speaking into radios as Victor Hale was escorted down the corridor.Inside the room, no one had moved.Elena was still trying to process Lucian’s words.“You’re saying someone framed Rowan again?”Lucian nodded slowly.“And that someone just handed the government enough evidence to raid Hale Industries.”Rowan crossed his arms.“Which means they had access to Victor’s offshore accounts.”Isabella looked uneasy.“That information was buried deep inside the company’s financial systems.”Lucian raised an eyebrow.“Exactly.”Elena frowned.“Only someone inside the company could find it.”Lucian’s expression turned serious.“Or someone who’s been quietly studying the company for years.”Rowan was about to respond when the hospital door opened again.Everyone turned.A tall man stepped inside.Calm.Well dressed.Completely composed despite the chaos outside.Elena recognized him immediately.“

Lucian was the first to notice the SUVs.He stepped closer to the window and narrowed his eyes.“Well… that didn’t take long.”Rowan moved beside him.Four black SUVs had parked quietly along the hospital entrance.Men in dark suits stepped out.Not police.Not federal agents.They moved with calm precision.Elena felt a knot tighten in her stomach.“Who are they?”Lucian didn’t look away from the window.“If I had to guess…”He exhaled slowly.“Helios.”Adrian stepped forward immediately.“How many?”Lucian counted.“Eight… no, ten.”Rowan’s voice turned sharp.“They’re not here for Victor.”Isabella shook her head weakly.“They’re here for us.”Elena’s chest tightened.“Because we know about the network.”Lucian nodded.“Exactly.”Adrian pulled out his phone.“I’ll call my security team.”Lucian raised an eyebrow.“You think this is something a normal security team can handle?”Adrian didn’t answer.Rowan was already moving toward the door.“We’re leaving.”Elena grabbed his arm.“
