Chapter 112: A Murder Exposed
Silence held for one heavy second.Then the prosecuting attorneys erupted.The woman’s face flushed with anger as she turned sharply on Marcus, her hands tightening into fists at her sides.“You’re going to explain this,” she said in a sharp and rising voice. “You’re going to explain how you somehow missed a recording of the actual murder inside the victim’s own apartment.”Marcus opened his mouth to respond, but the second attorney cut him off with a furious laugh. He gathered his papers from the table, shoving them into his folder with movements that grew increasingly rough.“Damn you,” he snapped. “And damn this entire case.”Without waiting for a reply, both attorneys shoved their chairs back, gathered their folders, and marched out of the conference room. The door swung hard behind them but remained open, their hurried footsteps fading along the corridor.Marcus watched them disappear. His shoulders rose and fell with a slow breath as though he were forcing down his anger. Then
Chapter 111: The Evidence
Kyle’s eyes flicked once toward Marcus, then returned to the attorneys as he lifted a hand and pointed at the detective.“That man right there was engaged to the deceased. And somehow he is also the one investigating the circumstances of her death.” Kyle’s voice stayed even. “Do any of you consider that coincidental?”On hearing that, Marcus’ chair legs scraped sharply against the floor as he shot to his feet.“Excuse me?” he bellowed. "You better watch it, Mr. Kyle."The prosecuting attorney’s expression did not change.“I don’t know if it’s coincidental,” she said, “but I’ll tell you what it is not. It isn't proof that Catherine didn't commit suicide after being bullied by her boss.”Lena leaned in close to Kyle’s shoulder, her voice a sharp whisper. “What the hell are you doing?”Kyle ignored her, his eyes remaining fixed on the attorneys.“Of course I know that,” he answered the prosecuting attorney's remark. “Which is why I have access to a secret video recording of Catherine’s a
Chapter 110: Expensive Shot
When the day was bright enough, Kyle headed back to Transcorp.He spent the first hours reviewing inter-departmental memos and signing off on revised supplier schedules. He tried to focus as he worked, but very so often his eyes drifted to the slim manila envelope resting on the corner of his desk–the one James had pressed into his hand the previous night.He went through the contents of the file before going to bed last night, and he was more than convinced that it was enough to drop the lawsuit against Dora.A few hours later, Olivia appeared in the doorway with a tablet under one arm."It's time," she said quietly, tender eyes fixed on him."Oh, alright," Kyle replied, rising to his feet rather quickly. He picked up the envelope and followed her into the hallway.As they walked, Olivia kept pace beside him, eyes fixed ahead. After a few steps, she sighed."Are you ready for this?" she asked in a near whisper.Kyle's jaw worked once. "Of course not."He walked another three paces be
Chapter 109: Divided Loyalties
Kyle looked away from Eleanor and heaved a long, heavy sigh. His mind raced backward through the night's meeting with James, from the low voices to the exchange of the envelope thick with cash, and to the cold details James had laid out once he received the money.He kept his gaze on the folded blanket in his hands, shoulders slightly hunched."Let's just say I got to do something I didn't want to," he said at last. "For someone I love."Eleanor remained silent for several seconds. Her hands rested in her lap, fingers loosely laced."And I can see you don't want to talk about it," she said in a near whisper.Kyle slowly nodded. "I guess I don't."Eleanor's mouth curved into a soft chuckle. She reached out and gently took the blanket from his hands, her fingers brushing his for a moment."I understand that," she said. Then she rose from the couch, the blanket draped over one arm. "So long as you don't do anything illegal, I'll wait until you're ready to speak."Kyle bit down on his low
Chapter 108: Trust Me
James bit down his lower lip. A short, humorless chuckle escaped him. "You're really think I'd kill Catherine and then stand here trying to point evidence at her–""That's now what I meant," Kyle interrupted. "I don't trust you. Doesn't mean I think you're stupid.""Of course you don't," James said. Then he heaved a sigh. "So...are you in?"There was a pause in Kyle's end for a moment, then he spoke in a near whisper. "Yeah. I'm in.""Good." James glanced around the empty lobby once before speaking again. "You got the cash ready?"On the other end, Kyle sighed. "Yeah. It'll be ready in about thirty minutes."James nodded. "Brilliant. We'll meet tonight. I'll text the location across.""Cool," Kyle replied, biting his lower lip at the fact that he had no other choice but to work with the devil himself."I'll have to go now," James said."Sure," Kyle replied in a dry tone. "But you haven’t answered my second question.""And that is?""Can I trust you?"James' mouth curved into a small s
Chapter 107: Sweet Midnight Deal
The lights in Vivian's office burned steadily against the dark glass of the windows, throwing long reflections across the polished floor.Outside, the city had thinned to scattering headlights and the distant glow of office towers still awake. But inside, the air smelled of coffee gone cold and the faint metallic tang of overworked electronics.Since the Zintech partnership had gone public, a steady stream of high net-worth investors had poured inquiries, term sheets, and preliminary capital commitments into Vivian Group.Expansion plans now included securing additional warehouse space on the industrial outskirts, fast-tracking the hiring of mid-level operation managers, reviewing supplier contracts for the new silicon production line, and preparing a revised five-year projection for the board.The work was relentless, and most of the employees had spent days and nights working. But tonight, Vivian had given them all a break. Only she and James would work till dawn."Made a hell of a
