“And that drives mum insane.” He didn’t interrupt. “She’s been digging,” Verity continued. “Hiring people. Checking old records. Trying to trace everything, she thinks if she finds something embarrassing enough, she can use it.” “Use it how?” “To weaken her,” Verity replied simply. “Grandpa loves Alessa, . If she finds leverage on Alessa, she thinks that changes.” Riley nodded slowly, and interesting. Verity stepped closer again. “What about you?” she asked. “You talk about my family like it’s a case study.”

I scoffed. “I wasn’t worried about me Ver.” I said pointedly, my eyes floating down to her small bump. She smiled, tracking my gaze. “You don’t need to worry about me either” she said softly. “Despite it all they are good men” she said, beckoning Cain to come closer. He did, still looking completley terrifying except when he looked at her. Verity was still as beautiful as ever, her face slightly more rounded with the pregnancy, her thick dark hair pulled back into a low ponytail. Her eyes were full of something new though, something I had never seen before and I hesitated to call it love; maybe it was happiness?

"Are you even a man, Felix? Why do you only talk about money day in and day out? Marrying someone like you must be the unluckiest thing that ever happened to me!" My face turned a ruddy red as humiliation and indignation surged through me. Despite being the company's vice president, I had never received a single cent for all the work I had done. Meanwhile, Jonathan watched with delight, savoring my disgrace. "Mr. Lennox, you're a high-ranking official in the company, so why are you behaving like this? Do you want me to introduce you to a quick way of making money since you're so strapped for cash? I hear the rich ladies at the club love your type. Should I send them your photo?"

Then she turned to Emma and her eyes said everything that the courtroom and the gallery and the professional distance between them would not allow her to say out loud. Emma nodded, but still held her gaze. It was enough. --- The aftermath of a verdict had its own choreography. Judge Reyes discharged the jury and thanked them for their service. Both counsel approached the bench for brief procedural matters. The Genovex team gathered themselves and left with the quiet efficiency of people who had just lost and are taking their loss well. The Bennett team celebrated with the restrained joy of people who were still in a courthouse and were saving the real celebration for later. Morrison called A

His next words nearly made my knees weak. “There is a rumor around about someone looking for a woman and a little girl that match Veronica and Clarissa’s descriptions,” Jarred said through clenched teeth. “It is all underground and word of mouth. But I wanted to warn you that there is an eighty thousand dollar bounty on Veronica, or better, Vianne Moore’s head. And it is rising weekly.”

Violet leaned closer. Theodore stood beside her. “Can you read it?” he asked. “No.” She touched the indentation lightly. Not the ink. The pressure left behind. A shape. A beginning letter maybe. M. No. Violet tilted the page under the lamp. The scratched-out name caught the light. Not M. V. Her stomach dropped. Vanessa? No. Too recent. Violet stared until the letters beneath the damage arranged themselves with horrible patience. Verity. Truth. The first child’s name had been Verity.

This time Henry’s response was audible, though still too quiet for Lavinia to understand the words. “I know I don’t deserve another chance,” Verity said, her voice breaking slightly. “I know I gave up any claim to your heart when I chose my career over you.

Mimi placed the tablet on the table, turning it to face Thorne. She tapped the screen. It came alive with a digital scan of Tunde’s cloth-bound ledger, the handwriting horrifically familiar. Next to it, a cascade of financial transactions, flowing from a Zurich account labeled ‘VERITAS’ to a shell company, then to another, finally landing in an account tagged ‘J.

Tears streamed down Mary's cheeks as she spoke. However, for once, Kai didn't comfort her. Instead, he snapped sharply, "Idiot! If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be facing this disaster!" Watching the pair perform their little routine, I huffed coldly and waved my hand dismissively. "I wouldn’t dare accept your bonus, Mr. Moran. Who knows when you’ll accuse me of extortion?
