Chapter 161: Chasing After Her
Their argument quickly grew heated. Kyle stepped closer, his face flushed with anger and his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Adrian stood his ground, refusing to back down as their voices rose. Kyle finally lost control and raised his hand, ready to strike him.“Stop it, both of you!” Olivia suddenly snapped, stepping between them before Kyle could land the blow. She raised both palms, her expression stern as she looked from one man to the other. “Fighting solves nothing. Not here, not now.”Kyle stood breathing heavily, his raised fist slowly falling to his side. Although Olivia had managed to stop him from attacking Adrian, his anger remained. He straightened his coat and adjusted its lapels, forcing himself to regain control before fixing Adrian with a cold stare.“I never thought you were capable of something like this,” he said quietly, the disappointment in his voice cutting deeper than a shout. He held Adrian’s gaze for another moment before turning t
Chapter 160: The Fall of Dora Sinclair III
Dora stared at Adrian in disbelief as his words sank in. The biro she had been rolling between her fingers slipped from her grasp and clattered against the polished table. For a moment, she struggled to speak, unable to process what was happening.She looked around the conference room, hoping to find some sign of hesitation among the directors. Instead, the very people she had once trusted were now openly supporting the motion. Some nodded in agreement, while others leaned forward to voice their approval, insisting that Kyle was the right person to lead the company through its current crisis. Their reactions made it clear that the decision had already been made in their minds.Then the financial secretary, who had remained silent for most of the meeting, finally cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses.“Perhaps we should put the proposal to a formal vote,” he suggested.His tone was professional, but the warmth he had once shown Dora was gone.Dora turned toward Kyle. He was sta
Chapter 159: The Fall of Dora Sinclair II
Dr. Irene Voss approached with a warm smile, her tailored dark blazer giving her a polished, professional appearance.“Kyle, Dora. Good morning.” She raised a hand in a brief wave toward Olivia. “Olivia.”Her gaze shifted between them, a hint of excitement entering her expression. “Are we all heading to the board meeting?”“We are,” Dora replied with a polite smile.However, the smile faded as her eyes met Kyle’s. A brief, uneasy look passed between them, neither willing to voice the concern they shared. Dora eventually turned away and pushed open the glass doors, entering the conference room without another word.Olivia followed her inside, with Irene close behind. Kyle stepped aside to let Irene pass, offering her a small, reassuring smile when she glanced back at him. Once she turned away, his expression hardened. He shut the door firmly and followed the others into the room.The conference room was already crowded. Nearly every seat around the long table was occupied, with docum
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
