“Were you speaking to me?” Jimmy asked, a slight crease forming between his brows. He had heard her voice, but it had sounded more like a whisper than a proper remark.
“Oh, no.” Tara smiled brightly, masking the anger quietly building inside her.

Victor remained silent.The silence between them felt completely natural. Ever since they were children, neither of them had ever needed many words to understand the other.Vivian set her teacup back on the table."Before coming here, I read nearly every news report about the Ashbourne family. In Europe, the case has even started appearing in various business publications because it involves your company."Her gaze shifted to Victor. "Then, a few hours later, I met that woman."Since Victor still hadn't said anything, Vivian spoke again with a quiet sigh. "To be honest, Victor, I still don't understand how your family ended up becoming such a complete mess."The room fell silent once again. Not because there was nothing left to say, but because they both knew that what Vivian had just shared was only the beginning. There were still far more truths yet to be uncovered, and that night, their conversation had only just entered its most important part.Victor remained silent.The woman's

Victor waited."The entire European media has been talking about the Ashbourne family." Vivian's voice remained calm, but there was a subtle change in her eyes. "I've long been used to seeing your name on the business pages."She looked directly at Victor, her gaze fixed on no one else but her older brother. Then she continued, "But this time, that wasn't what they were talking about."Victor did not deny it."I wanted to make sure you were all right." She spoke the words flatly, almost without emotion.But Victor understood what she truly meant. His sister had taken a nearly twelve-hour flight just to make sure he was all right. "I'm fine."Vivian studied her brother's face for a few moments. The traces of exhaustion at the corners of Victor's eyes did not escape her notice. He still stood as straight as ever, but there was something in his gaze that felt far heavier than the last time they had met."You look tired."Victor responded with a faint smile. "The past few weeks have deman

"I'm quite curious. Who could the visitor be tonight?" Gilbert said as he glanced at the rearview mirror.Ever since they had left the mansion where Tara lived, Victor had remained silent. It was as though he was simply enjoying the drive, yet the look in his eyes made it clear that he was wondering who the visitor waiting at his house could be."If I knew, Gilbert," Victor said quietly, "I wouldn't have to keep guessing."The drive to Victor's residence seemed to pass in no time before the car finally entered the grounds of an upscale residential estate. It wasn't long before the vehicle came to a stop at the main entrance.Victor had just stepped into the foyer when the head butler approached him."Good evening, sir."Victor handed over the suit jacket he had been carrying over his arm. "Is the visitor still waiting for me?""Yes, sir. She's been waiting for nearly an hour."Victor frowned slightly. "Who is she?"The head butler had not yet answered when a woman's voice came from th

Liora ran as fast as she could, her pigtails bouncing from side to side with every tiny step. A wide smile lit up her innocent face, as though the whole world had become a better place simply because Tara had finally come home.By instinct, Tara immediately crouched down.The little girl threw herself into her without the slightest hesitation, wrapping her arms tightly around Tara's neck, nearly making her lose her balance.Tara returned the embrace with both arms, closing her eyes for a moment. The familiar scent of Liora's favorite strawberry shampoo filled her senses, while Liora's warm cheek rested against her shoulder.For some reason... all the burdens that had weighed on her chest since morning gradually felt a little lighter."I missed you," Liora murmured softly.Tara smiled, then kissed the top of the little girl's head over and over. "I missed you too."Liora pulled back slightly, then studied Tara's face intently. Her little brows slowly knitted together. "You look tired,

The sound of the car's engine filled the silence that had enveloped their journey ever since they left the courthouse complex. No one made any attempt to start a conversation. Gilbert, seated in the front passenger seat, occasionally checked the screen of his tablet to make sure there were no new developments from the legal team, while Victor sat beside Tara.From time to time, Gilbert reported on several work-related matters they had left behind during today's court proceedings.Unlike the others, Tara immediately leaned her head against the seat. Her eyelids slowly drifted shut, not because she wanted to sleep, but because her body was truly exhausted. Since morning, she had barely eaten anything. Hours of court proceedings, the media spotlight, endless questions, and the confrontation with Adrian and his family had drained every bit of energy she had.She took a long, deep breath, trying to ease the tension that had been building in her shoulders and the back of her neck.Victor gl

The officer held out his hand with a quiet click of his tongue. "Your phone, sir?"Without a word, Adrian handed it over."Take off your belt."He complied without the slightest protest."Shoes."The pair of handmade leather shoes he usually wore to board meetings was now placed casually on the metal table. One by one, without him even realizing it, every symbol of status that had defined him disappeared within minutes.The officer sealed the evidence bag. "Please check these belongings before we place them in storage."Adrian merely glanced at them before nodding. "Yes, that's everything.""Please put these on," the officer said, handing him a set of clothes that looked worn. Then he slid a form across the table. "Sign here."Adrian reluctantly changed into the clothes and took the pen with a heavy heart. For the first time since entering the building, his fingers trembled slightly. Not out of fear, but because only now did he truly realize that this was no longer just a threat.It w

[Victor: I heard you canceled your appointment with Ceso Group. What happened?]The message made Tara pause. The important negotiation had been postponed, yes, but more than that, her meeting with Victor had also fallen through. She had promised to brief him on several matters regarding th

“You... what?” Kara demanded, her voice rising before she could hide it.Adrian could only let out a slow breath. “Come on, why are you making such a fuss over something so small?”“Small?” Kara stared at him in disbelief. “Giving Tara a luxury apartment at Golden Palace, and you call that small?”

“How is she?” Tara asked.There was worry in her eyes—soft, aching, unmistakable. She stepped forward the moment the door to her room opened, as if she had been waiting for this exact second.Adrian paused, caught off guard. He hadn’t expected her to still be awake. He had assumed she’d gone to bed
