Chapter 136 PART 1
Harry sat down at the table, accepting the plate Alfred handed him with a quiet "thanks." He tried to appear unaffected by Alice's presence, but his mind kept circling back to the fact that she'd helped him. She could have told the doctors the truth, could have called the police when she saw him walk away from injuries that should have killed him. But she hadn't. She'd kept his secret.That counted for something.Alice watched him eat, her eyes studying every movement like she was trying to solve a puzzle. Harry could feel the weight of unasked questions hanging in the air between them."You have questions," Harry said finally, setting down his fork. "I can tell.""Is it that obvious?" Alice asked with a slight smile."Pretty obvious," Harry confirmed. "You've been staring at me like I'm some kind of science experiment."Alice flushed slightly. "I'm sorry. It's just... I have so many things I want to ask, but I don't know if you'd want to answer them. Or if I even have the right to as
CHAPTER 135 PART 2
Harry opened his mouth to say yes, then stopped himself. Did he want her to leave? Part of him—the part that was still angry at the Anderson family—absolutely did. But another part, the exhausted part that had spent all day dealing with dead-end investigations and disappointing news, found something oddly comforting about coming home to voices and laughter instead of an empty house."I didn't say that," Harry replied carefully."Then what are you saying?" Alice pressed.Harry moved into the room, setting his bag down on a chair. "I'm saying I don't understand what you're doing here. After everything with Mona, after your father, after I told you I wanted nothing to do with your family—why are you still here?"Alfred cleared his throat. "Harry, Alice has been helping us. She's been coordinating with the hospital to make sure your medical records reflect the story we agreed on. She's been deflecting questions from concerned coworkers who heard about the accident. She's been—""Useful,"
Chapter 135 PART 1
Samuel sat back in his chair, considering Frank's demands with a calculating expression. "Look, I'll help you. But let's be realistic about the timeline here.""What do you mean?" Frank asked."Gage Thornhill isn't some random nobody," Samuel explained. "He's a high-profile lawyer with connections, security, and from what you've told me, he's already paranoid after the last attack. Getting to him is going to take time—weeks, maybe months of surveillance to find the right opportunity."Frank's jaw tightened with impatience. "I don't have months—""But Harry?" Samuel interrupted, a glint appearing in his eye. "Harry is different. He's predictable. He goes to work, he goes home, he follows the same routine every day. No security detail, no bodyguards. Taking him would be easy."Frank leaned forward, his interest piqued. "Easy how?""He trusts people too much," Samuel said. "Especially if they claim to have information he wants. I could tell him I have evidence about who really burned dow
Chapter 134
Frank leaned forward on Samuel's couch, his expression hardening from friendly collaboration to cold threat. "Let me make something very clear, Samuel. If you don't cooperate with me, I will personally make sure you regret ever touching that warehouse.""I already said I'd help you—" Samuel started."No, I don't think you understand," Frank interrupted. "Right now, I'm the only thing standing between you and a prison cell. I have evidence that will destroy you—photos, timestamps, witness accounts. If I decide to hand that over to the police, you're done. Five to ten years minimum. Maybe more if they decide to make an example of you."Samuel's face paled. "You said you'd make the evidence disappear.""I will," Frank confirmed. "As long as you're useful to me. But the moment you become a liability, the moment you hesitate or refuse what I ask? That evidence goes straight to Detective Reynolds at the police department. And trust me, she'll be very interested in what I have to show her."
CHAPTER 133 PART 2
The door slammed in Harry's face, leaving him standing in the hallway, frustrated and unconvinced.Harry turned and walked back toward the stairs, his mind churning. Samuel's denial had seemed genuine, but Harry's instincts still screamed that something was wrong. He couldn't let this go.What Harry didn't see was Frank, who had positioned himself in the stairwell below, listening to the entire exchange with growing interest.Frank waited until Harry's footsteps had faded completely, then climbed the stairs to Samuel's floor. He knocked on the door—the same door Harry had just left.Samuel yanked it open, expecting Harry. "I told you to—" He stopped when he saw Frank instead. "Who the hell are you?""Frank Solomon," Frank said with a cold smile. "Harry's brother. Can I come in?""No," Samuel said immediately, trying to close the door.But Frank had already wedged his foot in the doorway. "I think you want to hear what I have to say, Samuel. Because I saw you. Three nights ago, outside
CHAPTER 133 PART 1
Harry left work early, his mind consumed with thoughts of Samuel Walsh. Despite Mr. Chen's warnings about making baseless accusations, Harry couldn't shake the conviction that Samuel was responsible for the warehouse fire. The timing was too perfect, the motive too obvious.He spent the afternoon researching, using public records and social media to track down Samuel's address. It wasn't difficult—Samuel had posted about his new apartment on LinkedIn months ago, complaining about the commute to TechNova."Got you," Harry muttered, writing down the address.By evening, Harry was parked outside a modest apartment complex on the outskirts of the city. He sat in his car for several minutes, rehearsing what he would say, how he would approach this confrontation.What Harry didn't notice was the dark sedan parked three spaces behind him, its driver watching with intense interest.Frank Solomon had been following Harry all day, maintaining careful distance, using techniques he'd learned from
