Chapter 158: The Fall Of Dora Sinclair I
The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and Kyle stepped into Transcorp Inc.’s executive lounge. He adjusted the lapels of his dark suit jacket as he stepped out, his attention immediately drawn to Olivia, who was emerging from her office with a tablet in hand.A casual smile touched his lips as he remembered Nathan’s call the previous night. Apparently, the dinner had gone well, and the two had gotten along better than he’d expected.He started toward her, still smiling.“Olivia—”She looked up, and the moment their eyes met, his smile began to fade.Something was wrong. The usual brightness in her expression was gone, replaced by a troubled look that she seemed unable to conceal. Her shoulders were tense, and there was an unmistakable urgency in the way she moved.Kyle’s smile disappeared completely.“Olivia,” he called again, his voice more cautious this time. “What’s wrong?”She turned to face him, but her gaze drifted past his shoulder rather than settling on him. The unu
Chapter 157: An Unspoken Grievance
Dora lingered a little longer in Eleanor’s room, chatting quietly with Sophia while Kyle remained beside the bed. When she finally announced that she needed to leave, Kyle rose from his chair almost immediately.“I’ll head out too,” he said.Before leaving, Dora approached the bed and bent down to press a gentle kiss to Eleanor’s cheek. Eleanor’s expression softened with gratitude.“Thank you for coming, both of you,” she murmured. “And thank you for the cookies, Dora. I really like them.”They exchanged a few more pleasantries before Dora turned toward the door. Kyle squeezed his mother’s hand and promised to visit again soon before following Dora out into the corridor.They walked side by side through the quiet lobby, but Kyle soon noticed something was off. Dora kept her gaze fixed ahead, her steps steady and purposeful. At first, he assumed she was simply eager to get home. He quickened his pace slightly and called her name.She didn’t respond or even slow down.Instead, she push
Chapter 156: A Seat At The Table
All eyes turned toward the door as it opened with a soft click. Dr. Irene Voss stepped into Eleanor’s hospital room, her white coat still crisp despite the late hour, and a stethoscope hanging loosely around her neck. A warm smile spread across her face as she took in the small gathering. “Well,” she remarked lightly, glancing from one face to another, “am I interrupting a party?” Eleanor’s eyes brightened. “Irene. Come in, dear.” With the quiet confidence of someone who belonged in these corridors, Irene crossed the room and approached the bed. Her expression softened as she examined Eleanor’s complexion and watched the steady rise and fall of her chest. “How are we feeling tonight?” she asked, reaching for the chart at the foot of the bed. Kyle watched her for a moment, his expression thoughtful. Under the fluorescent lights, the faint lines at the corners of her eyes were more noticeable, as was the composed manner in which she carried herself. Whatever thoughts were
Chapter 155: Shadows At The Threshold
Kyle met Vivian's gaze as he considered his next words.“You can’t fully understand everything happening around us right now,” he said quietly. “There are layers to it that I can’t explain—not yet. Not here in a parking lot, at least, and not while you’re still trying to process everything.”He paused before continuing. “But I can tell you this: Harlan didn’t take over your company simply to restore its former glory or whatever other bullshit he's feeding you guys over there.”Vivian’s frustration gradually gave way to curiosity, though a trace of unease remained.“What do you mean?” she asked, stepping closer. “What kind of plans?”Kyle shook his head. “That’s all I can tell you for now.”He turned toward the open car door, intending to leave, but Vivian stepped forward and raised a hand, stopping him before he could get in.“Then let me help,” she said urgently. “If Harlan is using my company for his personal purposes, I deserve to know. I still have connections on the board. I can
Chapter 154: The Bear Begins to Move
The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime. Kyle turned to face Dora, his expression serious as he lowered his voice.“This has nothing to do with Vivian,” he said. “My concern is Harlan. Now that he’s the CEO of Vivian Group, pursuing the Zintech Silicon deal could be seen as a direct provocation. He’s already shown us how far he’s willing to go.”Dora stared at him in disbelief before letting out a sharp scoff.“Provocation?” she repeated, tightening her grip on the tablet beneath her arm. “Kyle, that deal belonged to Transcorp from the beginning. Vivian Group stole it from us. Taking back what’s ours isn’t provoking anyone.”She stepped closer, her gaze unwavering.“And even if it is, I see no reason to back down. Not now, not after everything we’ve been through.”Kyle opened his mouth, but Dora raised a hand to stop him.“I have other things to attend to,” she said, turning away. “We’ll talk later.”With that, she walked off without looking back, leaving Kyle standing in the c
Chapter 153: A Clean Kill
Kyle tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “What? I haven’t spoken to Harlan. What the hell are you talking about?”The traffic light turned green just then, and the cars ahead began to move.“James is dead," Nathan replied. "The cops found him in his apartment just a while ago.”Kyle eased off the accelerator, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. For a moment, he struggled to process the words, as though he had misheard them.“What did you just say?”“The police have already cordoned off the apartment. His body was badly bruised and battered. They’re treating it as a homicide, and an investigation is underway."Kyle closed his eyes briefly, struggling to absorb the news. When he opened them, his expression had hardened.“I had nothing to do with it. There’s just no way I could have reached Harlan in the short time since last night. I never even tried.”Silence settled over the line before Nathan let out a weary sigh. “Well, Harlan has just shown us again what kind of man he really i
