《In Bed With My Fiancé’s Father》全部章節：第 161 章 - 第 170 章

Kane's POVJin’s hand lingered in mine a beat too long.I pulled back first, my fingers curling against my palm like I needed to wipe something off them. “Where’d you find him?” I asked Virgil, not taking my eyes off the man in front of me.“HR handled everything,” Virgil said. “He came recommended.”“By who?”Virgil’s jaw ticked. “Does it matter?”It did. Everything mattered now. I’d learned that the hard way, in a hospital corridor, watching a man I hated hand me his entire empire like it was nothing. Nothing came without a price. Nothing came without a catch.Jin just stood there, hands folded in front of him, watching me with those blue eyes like he already knew what I was thinking.“I don’t need a babysitter,” I said.“You need someone who knows how this company runs,” Virgil shot back. “You’ve been gone. You don’t know half the department heads, you don’t know the board’s temperament, and you sure as hell don’t know how to read a quarterly report. Jin does. Use him.”I hated tha

Olivia’s POV“Mr. Salander, I’m asking you one last time.”Lucious didn’t even look at the doctor.“Denied.”The doctor pinched the bridge of his nose. “Your haemoglobin is low. You donated bone marrow less than twenty-four hours ago. If you collapse in here, I will have two patients instead of one.”Lucious’s eyes never left the incubator.“Then I suggest you keep an extra bed ready.”“Lucious.”My voice cut through the room before the doctor could argue again.I leaned against the doorway with my arms folded, watching him with equal parts annoyance and worry.“The doctor is not your enemy, Lucious.” I said softly.He finally looked at me, his eyes harden.“They’re trying to send me away from my daughter.”“They’re trying to stop you from passing out on the NICU floor.”“Details.”The doctor muttered something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like “Married rich people are exhausting” before walking out.I waited until the door clicked shut before I crossed the room.“You sc

Lucious’s POV“Then we find Elias.”The words left my mouth and the room kept spinning around them. Olivia’s body was still locked against mine, her breathing ragged and her cheeks red and wet with tears. She held onto my shirt for dear life, twisting the fabric mindlessly around her fingers. The empty incubator sat three feet away, and I struggled to remove my gaze away from it.Virgil was already moving giving orders to Danny.“Danny, check out the service elevator logs, the badge history, every access point that touched this unit in the last hour. Do it now.”Danny moved with the speed of light, following Virgil’s orders.I kept one arm around Olivia and turned to Sara, the same woman who had checked out on Celeste earlier. Her face was as white as a sheet.“I need every person who walked into this unit in the last thirty minutes,” I said. “Give me their names, batch numbers, everything even the faces you didn’t recognize. Tell me.”She stammered and cowered, running along to get m

Kane’s POVThe moment the elevator doors slid open the entire lobby fell into a thick, pointed silence that had nothing to do with respect and everything to do with the fact that every person standing there already knew exactly what I had done.A junior analyst took an actual step backward, avoiding me totally. Someone on the mezzanine didn’t even bother lowering their voice when they said the word traitor, while staring at me. The security guard at the front desk looked at my face, then at the temporary credentials Jin had issued, then back at my face again like he was silently hoping the system would reject them.I sighed and kept walking with my head held high.Jin matched my pace, his tablet already open, speaking just loud enough for me to hear. “The board is waiting on forty-two. Most of them arrived early and they are not in a generous mood.” He whispered.“I can see that.” I said cockily, walking towards the lift.The elevator ride felt longer than any I could remember. Every

Virgil’s POVThe rain had started sometime after midnight and refused to stop. It drummed against the office windows in a steady, relentless rhythm that matched the headache building behind my eyes. I sat at the long table with three laptops open, two half-empty coffee cups, and a growing pile of printouts that had nothing to show for it. Julian Salander did not exist in any system at all; birth records, medical licenses, tax filings, even the old family photographs Lucious kept in a locked drawer. Whatever at all that should have proven the man was real had been scrubbed completely clean.Danny stood on the other side of the table, his sleeves rolled to his elbows. His dark hair still damp from the shower he took earlier after getting back from the hospital. He had been quiet for the last twenty minutes, his laser eyes locked on a single grainy scan. Every few seconds he zoomed in, tilted his head, then zoomed out again like the image might make sense if he stared hard enough.“I fou
