After leaving Adriana's place, Edward drove straight to Goldmere Holdings. There was too much to deal with after the events of the previous night, and he intended to settle everything before the day ended.

Jason's suggestion had stayed with him throughout the drive. Keeping partners who lost their nerve at the first sign of trouble was a liability. If a mere rumor could make them abandon Zhenyu Global Holdings, what would they do when a real crisis came?

As Edward entered the conference room, e

Earlier in the week, following Edward's request, the court had finalized the arrangements for today's hearing.Since Caleb was charged with the murder of Li Zhenyu, the murders of Camila's parents, and everything that had happened to Camila, while Ethan was charged with the rape of Camila, the court agreed to hear both cases during the same proceedings.To Edward, Adriana's family deserved justice just as much as his own parents did. Serving them with lawsuits wasn't enough. He wanted Caleb and Ethan to answer for their crimes, and he wanted the full weight of the law to fall on them as soon as possible. That was why everything had been arranged this way, with both cases brought before the court together.After the court clerk announced both cases and read out the charges in a clear, ringing voice, Caleb was called to the witness stand for questioning by one of Edward's lawyers."Mr. Caleb, did you ever have any dealings with Li Zhenyu before his death?" the lawyer asked, his tone cal

Adriana, who had remained silent throughout the entire exchange, finally spoke "Wait... Is she dead?"Edward's eyes shifted slowly from Adriana to Jason, then to Dave, lingering on each of them as the weight of the realization settled over him "You mean she's dead?"Dave gave a slow nod, "Yes, and you were walking straight into a murder scene.""As someone who has already been accused of murdering Feng, who appeared on live television talking about you, and then if your fingerprint is found on the door of the owner of the hospital Caleb claimed adopted you, while a court case where your lawyer has officially challenged your adoption documents as fake is still ongoing... what do you think would have happened?" Jason asked, his voice calm, yet carrying an edge that made every word land harder.Without waiting for an answer, he continued, piecing everything together aloud."He knew you would visit the hospital. He knew you would discover the adoption documents, and after that, you'd tr
Tomorrow Is Already Too Late
"Those motherfuckers..." Caleb muttered under his breath but it was low so the receptionist didn't hear When no response came, "You don't have to worry, sir." The receptionist assured. Her voice carried a smug laugh, while a devilish smile plastered across her face. "I put on quite the performance. They'll never come back here. They believed every word I said.""Good job." Caleb's voice finally came up "You'll be rewarded handsomely.""Thank you, sir. I'll continue to do my best."***Back in Edward's car, Edward and Adriana listened to the conversation through the tiny chip she had planted."I was right not to trust her." Adriana chuckled softly. "Who would've believed all those tears were fake?"While they had been inside the records room, she had discreetly attached the recording chip beneath the receptionist's shirt collar. Whatever happened after they left would determine their next move.With barely two days left before the next court hearing, they couldn't afford to waste a si

The room fell into complete silence as Ruby fought to keep her breathing steady. She didn't need anyone to tell her who was on the line. From the way Black had spoken, she already knew, and she also knew they couldn't afford to let him discover the truth just yet."Black, I need you to look into someone. She appears to be a blogger, but I don't think that's who she really is. Her name is Miss AC. Search for anything you can find about her and get back to me."Caleb's voice echoed through the speaker the moment Black answered the call, making every word impossible for Ruby to miss."Okay, boss. I'll get on it right away and report back as soon as I have something."Silence lingered for a few seconds.Black's brows drew together, but when he finally spoke, his voice remained steady enough that the man on the other end wouldn't detect the anger simmering beneath it. "Boss... will that be all?"Caleb cleared his throat, his tone turning colder. "No."Another pause followed.Black could he

The receptionist froze at his words. But she knew better than to be rude again, not if she wanted to keep her job, or her peace of mind. One wrong move and she would be jobless forever."I'm just a receptionist here. I don't really know what is happening. My job is to log in names and check people out." Her eyes welled up as she shook her head frantically. "I admit I was rude before, and I am sorry. Just tell me what you are here for, and I will direct you to the right ward." She assumed they were visiting someone, since neither of them appeared ill and even if they were ill they wouldn't visit a place like this when they had one of the best hospitals in Goldmere.Edward remained unmoved by her display. To him, her tears looked like nothing more than crocodile tears. Anyone walking in now would think they were bullying her.He straightened his posture. "Glad you recognize your rudeness. It offends me and my friend here." He swayed slightly toward Adriana, gesturing to her as if to em

"If he really adopted me from that hospital, then that's where we should start." Edward's voice grew firmer with each word as he worked through the logic aloud."If the documents are real, one of the old hospital staff would have been involved in processing everything. If not..." He paused, locking eyes with Adriana."Then he'll be in even more trouble, not just for lying about the adoption, or your father, but for presenting fake documents to the court," Adriana finished.Edward nodded. "Exactly, so we better get there quickly."He continued, "Whether those papers are real or forged, someone at that hospital had processed them. If Caleb faked them, there might still be records that expose him. And if he didn't..." He trailed off, letting the implication hang. "Then we'll find out exactly how I ended up in their care."Adriana agreed with a nod.Just then, his lawyer approached, and Edward stepped forward immediately. "What was the name of the hospital where the adoption took place?"
