Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn. Chapter 281: Then you know what happens next...
Adrian POVI felt it then, the thing I had been fighting for months. The pull. The gravitational force of Margaret Whitmore's composure, which made everything around it orbit rather than collide. She wasn't afraid. She wasn't defensive. She was managing me. She was sitting in her chair in her cashmere robe, sipping Assam from a generational teacup, and she was managing her son the way she managed everything else: by refusing to let his emotions change the temperature of the room.I could have let it work. I had let it work for thirty-two years."I came here to ask you to stop," I said. "Not because Evelyn asked me to. Not because anyone sent me. I came because I looked at what you've done, the full scope of it, and I realised that the woman I've spent my life defending is someone I don't recognise.""You don't recognise me?" Something moved behind her eyes. Not hurt. Something harder. "I am exactly the woman I have always been, Adrian. The difference is that you've finally looked cl
Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn. Chapter 280: Blood and stone
Adrian POVI drove to Cedar Heights at seven in the morning because I wanted to catch her before she went about her day.My mother was a woman of rituals. She woke at six. Tea at six fifteen, loose-leaf Assam in the blue-and-white cup that had been in the family for four generations. She read the financial pages first, then the society pages, then the obituaries, which she treated as a competitive sport. By seven thirty, she would be dressed and ready for whatever the day required. By eight, she would leave the house.The gates opened without my having to call ahead because Margaret Whitmore never locked her son out. That was one of the things I had spent my entire life believing was love and had only recently begun to understand was control. You can't lock out the person you need to manage. You leave the gates open so they walk in willingly, so they never have the experience of being denied, and so they never learn to question why the door is always available.I parked in the circul
Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn. Chapter 279: I would be the one who fired first.
Evelyn POVVincent stood a few feet away, watching Adrian with an expression I couldn't entirely read. It wasn't hostile, but it made me worried."Isabella is involved," I said. "She's working with your mother. She connected Margaret to Damien, my stepbrother, who used his old credentials to pull files from Bennett Holdings' servers last night. Those files are the Tribune article."Adrian's jaw tightened. "Isabella went to my mother.""Yes.""After I confronted her. After I gave you the evidence." He nodded slowly, a movement that contained its own kind of grief. "I should have expected that. When you take everything from someone like Isabella, the only thing left is revenge, and the only person in this city with more reason to want you destroyed than Isabella is my mother.""There's one more thing," Vincent said. Both Adrian and I turned to him. "Margaret's network includes an intermediary named Corven who manages her field operations. Corven has been running Beck, my compromised ope

Evelyn POVDamien.I stared at the screen. My stepbrother's login, the one I had assumed had been deactivated when I removed him from the company, had accessed the financial server at 2:47 in the morning and downloaded fourteen files over a twenty-three-minute session. Budget reports. Vendor accounts. Billing code summaries. Construction payment schedules. Every single document that had appeared in the Tribune article tonight, pulled from my servers eight hours before the article was published."His credentials were never deactivated," I said, and my voice sounded distant to my own ears. "When I removed Damien from the company, I told HR to close his access. Hart was Head of HR.""Hart left the door open," Vincent said quietly."Hart left the door open, and Damien walked through it." I closed my eyes. "Damien doesn't have the sophistication to do this alone. He wouldn't know which files to pull, wouldn't know how to package them for a journalist, wouldn't know the first thing about ti
Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn. Chapter 277: Thread at once
Evelyn POVWe didn't go back to the main room.Vincent led me through the side corridor to a service entrance I hadn't known existed, and we walked out into the parking lot and got into his car, and I sat in the passenger seat with the briefcase on my lap and Margaret Whitmore's name ringing in my skull like a bell that wouldn't stop.The launch was still going on behind us. I could see the lights through the pavilion windows, could hear the muffled hum of six hundred people deciding whether Evelyn Bennett was a visionary or a fraud. Grace was in there holding the room together. Jerome was running damage control. Belle's cameras had resumed rolling, recording either my triumph or my funeral.And I was sitting in a car with a man I had kissed in his kitchen a week ago, looking at a folder full of shell companies that proved my ex-fiancé's mother had been trying to destroy me for months."Tell me everything," I said. "From the beginning."Vincent told me. He started with the shipping th

Vincent POVI was putting Nadia to bed when my phone lit up.She had insisted on a story, which had turned into two stories, which had turned into a negotiation about whether a third story counted as "one more" when the first "one more" had technically been the second. She was seven years old, and she argued like a contract lawyer. I had known her for four days, and I was already losing every negotiation."One more," she said, pulling the blanket up to her chin."You said that last time.""This is a different last time."Elijah, sitting cross-legged on the other bed with a book, looked up. "She'll do this until you give in. It's faster to just read it."I read the third story. Nadia was asleep by page four. Elijah waited until I finished the last page, then said quietly, "She has nightmares about the fire. If she wakes up screaming, don't turn the light off. Just sit with her.""Okay," I said. "Thank you for telling me."He nodded and went back to his book. He was reading a biography

Adrian POVI was bent over my desk, going through contracts and financial documents, when the door to my office opened.Without looking up, I sighed. "I told you no visitors, Linda. I'm trying to work."But the footsteps didn't stop. They continued walking into my office, and I knew my secretary ha

Evelyn POVThe moment I stepped out of the airport in Bangria City, the first thing that greeted me was the heat and the dust. The second thing I noticed was how busy the city seemed. It was only 11 am, but it looked like 3 pm on a Monday in my town.Cars were honking, people were shouting, vendors

Evelyn POVI crouched down and, with a lot of effort, managed to get the man onto my back. He was heavy, plus it didn't help that he was unconscious. My legs shook with the effort of standing up, but I managed.By the time I made it back to the road, I was regretting every decision I'd made in the

Evelyn POVThe bus ride back to the hotel was torture.I managed to get back to the hotel with barely enough strength in my legs. On the bus ride, I sat stiffly beside the window, staring outside but not really seeing anything. My mind was spinning too fast.All I could think about was the money I
