Behind her were three burly men, each one looking more intimidating than the last.And beside her...Sydney Stones."What a pleasant surprise," Mrs. Stones said smoothly, her gaze sweeping across the room.A chill crawled down my spine.Mr. Anderson stepped forward, slipping both hands into his pockets."What are you doing here, Katey?"Her smile widened."I'm here to collect what's rightfully mine.""And what exactly would that be?" Jason asked coldly.His fists were already clenched.Mrs. Stones tilted her head."Oh, Jason... don't pretend you don't know."Mr. Anderson sighed quietly."Enough, Katey."His calm voice carried authority."Haven't you caused enough damage already?"Mrs. Stones laughed softly."I've only just begun, Max."Disappointment clouded Mr. Anderson's face."You've always been selfish.""You've never

Chapter: CHAPTER 50: THE TRUTH BENEATH THE LIGHTHOUSE

MRS. STONES' POVA cold smirk played on my lips.I never knew Suzan had hidden evidence.She had been smarter than I gave her credit for.How dare she?But now that I knew, I had to get to it before Alexa did.I couldn't allow everything I had worked for to come crashing down because of the Leonards—or anyone else.I picked up my phone and dialed a number.The thug I had hired answered almost immediately."The Cliffside House," I said calmly.There was a brief pause.Then the line went dead.He understood.A moment later, Sydney walked into my office."Mom, what are you planning?" she asked suspiciously."Getting the evidence Suzan left behind."Sydney folded her arms."And how exactly are you going to do that?"I sighed in irritation.She was beginning to get on my nerves."Tag along if you want to. Enough with the questions."Without waiting for a response, I grabbed my car keys from the table.Sydney smirked."I'll come with you. I want to see the look on their faces when everythin

ALEXA’S POVHis condition had improved.Thankfully.I sat quietly beside Jason’s hospital bed, holding his warm hand in mine. The steady sound of the heart monitor filled the room, but it did little to calm the storm inside me.I lowered my head onto his hand and shut my eyes briefly.Everything felt exhausting.The fire.The lawsuit.The missing documents.The deaths.One disaster after another.A shaky breath escaped my lips as guilt settled heavily in my chest.

She was practically family.Could she really do something
