บททั้งหมดของ DEAR EX, IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRET.: บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

REVIEWING THE TAPES.Emma’s POV.The penthouse study was quiet after Mark stepped out to secure the girls in their bedroom, and the transition from waiting for the lab results to watching this security playback was completely smooth. I sat on the chair beside Nathan near the long table, leaning closer to the wall monitor as he adjusted the video settings to display the high-definition footage recorded over the last forty-eight hours. My hands were resting on the edge of the table as the screen showed the quiet kitchen area late at night, when the rest of the household was already asleep."Emma, watch the screen right here at eleven o'clock last night, because Mark pulled this secondary angle from the pantry camera," Nathan said, pointing his finger at the monitor while hitting the play button."The kitchen looks completely empty right now, Nathan, so what time did she step into the frame?" I asked, keeping my eyes fixed on the digital timestamp at t

THE POLICE SWEEP.Emma’s POV.The foyer was quiet as the private elevator doors opened, and the transition from Clara’s confession in the kitchen to this formal police action was completely smooth as Captain Miller stepped out into the hallway alongside two uniformed officers. Nathan stood by my side near the central table, holding the tablet containing the high-definition surveillance footage, while Mark held the sealed evidence bag containing the small glass bottle Clara had surrendered moments earlier."Good afternoon, Captain Miller, thank you for coming up to the penthouse so quickly after my phone call," I said, stepping forward to meet the precinct captain while offering him a brief, polite nod."Good afternoon, Mrs. Zander, Mr. Zander, your phone call was taken with absolute priority, and my team is ready to take full custody of the suspect and all physical evidence," Captain Miller replied, adjusting his belt as his two officers stepp

HEALTH AND PEACE RESTORED.Emma’s POV.The warm evening sun was setting over the city skyline as Nathan and I sat together on the terrace, and the transition from our afternoon kitchen upgrades to this quiet evening was completely smooth. The sweet sound of Pearl and Gina playing a simple song on the piano in the music room drifted through the open glass doors, filling the open terrace space with melody as Sarah brought out two clean glasses of fresh juice for us. My energy was completely restored, and the lingering paleness from the past few days had vanished, leaving me feeling healthy and strong while Nathan sat right beside me on the outdoor sofa."Listen to how well Pearl is guiding Gina through that piano melody tonight, Nathan, because she is playing every single note with so much patience," I said, setting my glass down on the small table while looking toward the open music room doors."Pearl has been practicing that new song every single da

THE OFFSHORE SHELL.Emma’s POV.The elevator doors opened smoothly onto the top floor of Zander Logistics headquarters, and the transition from my quiet morning ride downtown to Nathan's busy corporate office was completely seamless as Mark guided me down the hallway. Arthur Vance was stepping out of the primary office holding two fresh market update sheets, and he offered me a warm, respectful greeting as I walked past him with my father's old business ledger held securely against my side. Nathan was sitting behind his central table reviewing the latest market screen, looking up with a welcoming smile as I closed the office door behind me."Good afternoon, Emma, I am so glad you came down to the office so quickly after Arthur sent us the offshore buyer's registration papers," Nathan said, standing up from his desk chair to meet me near the center of the room."Good afternoon, Nathan, and as soon as Arthur mentioned that Apex Global Holdings was rou

THE COUNTER-BUY STRATEGY.Nathan’s POV.The main executive boardroom was quiet as the secondary morning trading session approached, and the transition from reviewing the initial transfer documents to hosting this final strategy meeting was completely smooth. I walked into the room alongside Joel and Arthur Vance, taking my seat at the central table while Arthur placed his laptop screen next to the main display monitor, showing the open floor order books as we prepared to launch our joint response against Vance Logistics."Good morning, Nathan, the corporate bank has fully cleared the twenty-million-dollar trust transfer from Emma's Quinn account, and those funds are now sitting inside our primary holding pool ready for immediate deployment," Joel reported, placing the signed legal clearance sheets flat on the table right beside my pad."Good morning, Joel, that signed transfer clearance gives us total financial leverage, so how are we structuring th
