Tara's office.“You don't want to answer my question?” Victor asked with a faint smile. His gaze hadn't left the woman sitting across from him for even a second.“It's not that I don't want to answer.” Tara kept her voice calm. “It's just that your question has more than one meaning, Dad. But if you want to hear my answer after making this offer...” She paused briefly before meeting his eyes. “I think what I've said is enough.”Victor's fingers tapped lightly against the armrest of the sofa he was sitting on. He seemed to consider her response for a moment before finally nodding.“Well, if that's what you want.”Tara returned the nod. “Thank you for all your support.”“No need for that.” Victor chuckled softly. “You haven't even started in that position yet, have you?”He rose from his seat, prompting Gilbert and the lawyer who had accompan

“Three days,” Adrian answered firmly. “That will be enough for me to prepare the report you're asking for. Every fund movement. Every incoming and outgoing transaction. Everything in detail, with nothing left out.”He held Victor's stare. “How about that?”As Adrian's defense echoed through the room, Gilbert, who had been standing behind Victor's chair the entire time, made a subtle move. The middle-aged man unlocked the tablet in his hands and tapped a few commands before placing a freshly printed document directly in front of Victor.“My apologies, Mr. Adrian,” Gilbert said politely.Yet despite the courtesy in his tone, his words cut sharply through the silence hanging over the room.“We discovered several transactions that cannot currently be explained. More importantly, there is no record of any logistics cost increase in the eastern region that would justify an expense of that magnitude.”Gilbert paused briefly before continuing.“The fund allocation you described as an emergenc

“Yes.” Adrian let out a long breath. “The results of the external audit could drag a lot of people down. Not just me.”“And?”“You can help simplify the process.” Adrian stared intently at the woman who was still within his reach.Now Tara actually let out a small laugh. Not because it was funny, but because she couldn't believe what Adrian had just said. “So you want me to help you again?”The look in Adrian's eyes darkened with displeasure. “That’s not what I mean.”“Really?” Tara took a step closer. “I've helped you far too many times, Adrian.”For the first time, her tone turned cold. Without hesitation, she pressed her finger against his chest. Applying pressure there, making sure he understood that there were many things Tara had already done to "help" him.“Failed negotiations, partnerships that were on the verge of falling apart, investors who wanted to pull out. How many times have I had to clean up everything behind you?”Adrian fell silent because everything Tara said was t

“Do you know Liora's actual condition?” Adrian ignored what Tara had just said. As much as he wanted to raise his voice, if he did, his plan to get Tara's help would surely fall apart.Tara, who had been about to leave Adrian's office, stopped once again. For several moments, she simply stood there with her back to him, trying to convince herself that whatever was happening at the hospital was no longer her concern.After everything she had done for both Liora and Adrian, not a single one of them had appreciated her. Tara had been treated as nothing more than a caretaker and the person responsible for cleaning up the messes Adrian created. And she had lost count of how many times Liora had made it clear that she preferred being with Kara.So why were they looking for her now? As if her presence was suddenly so necessary?Oh, for heaven's sake! Don't you understand, Tara? This is all to make you do what they want again. Don't be weak! she said to herself.“She fainted because she refus

After saying that, Tara got out of the car without waiting for Adrian. Her steps were calm as she made her way down the corridor toward Liora's hospital room. Her expression was unreadable. She didn't appear rushed, nor did she show excessive concern. But deep in her heart, there was an uneasiness that had lingered ever since she heard that Liora had fainted from refusing to eat.Even though part of her felt hurt and angry because of the way Liora had treated her, Tara had been by the little girl's side ever since she was too young to understand the difference between right and wrong. So there was still a sense of humanity and concern left for the child. Though it was no longer as strong as before, at the very least... she had decided to come visit as someone who had once been close to the girl.Nothing more.The moment the hospital room door opened, several pairs of eyes immediately turned toward her. Kara, who was seated beside the bed, straightened her back at once. Meanwhile, Hele
