Donald remained motionless, staring at the message on his phone.Your father isn't the only person who knows what happened twenty years ago.The darkness around him suddenly felt heavier.Alexander switched on the flashlight on his phone and looked at Donald.“What does it say?”Donald handed him the phone.Alexander read the message twice.His expression became serious.“Twenty years ago.”Richard looked between them.“What happened twenty years ago?”Donald shook his head.“That is what I intend to find out.”He immediately called his father again.No answer.He called a second time.Still nothing.“His phone is off,” Donald said.Alexander frowned.“That is not good.”Donald turned to Richard.“Get your security team to check every entrance. Nobody leaves this building until we know how Ivy was taken.”Richard nodded.“I'm already doing that.”A few minutes later, the emergency lights came on.The security manager rushed into the room.“Sir, we checked the cameras. Someone accessed

The silence on the phone seemed to stretch forever.Ivy watched Donald's face carefully.“Donald?”He finally spoke.“Alex, repeat that.”Alexander's voice came through the phone.“She named the person behind the operation.”“Who?”Alexander took a deep breath.“She says it's someone who has been close to your family for years.”Donald tightened his grip on the phone.“And the name?”Another pause.“It's Mr. Harrington.”Donald froze.Ivy immediately noticed.“What?”Donald looked at her.“Harrington.”Ivy's eyes widened.“My family?”Alexander quickly added, “Don't jump to conclusions. The woman didn't provide enough evidence to prove that he personally ordered everything.”Donald remained silent.Ivy's face had gone pale.“My father?”“We don't know,” Donald said.“But why would he do something like this?”“I don't know.”Donald immediately thought back to everything that had happened since he married Ivy.The strange business offers.The people who had suddenly appeared around him.

Donald kept his eyes fixed on Ivy.Although fear was burning inside him, he refused to let it show.The man standing between them noticed his silence and smiled.“Have you made your decision?”Donald slowly nodded.“Yes.”Ivy immediately understood the look in her husband's eyes.Something about it was different.Donald was frightened for her, but he wasn't defeated.“I'll resign,” he said.The man smiled.“I knew you would make the sensible choice.”“But I have one condition.”The man's smile faded slightly.“What condition?”“I want Ivy released first.”The man laughed.“You're still trying to negotiate?”“I've agreed to resign.”“And you expect me to trust you?”Donald looked at him calmly.“You have my word.”“Your word isn't enough.”“Then what do you want?”The man took out his phone.“Tomorrow morning, the board will receive your resignation letter. You will announce publicly that you are stepping down for personal reasons.”Donald nodded.“And then?”“You will leave the compan

Donald rushed out of the boardroom with Alexander directly behind him.“Call the security team,” Donald said.“I already did.”“I want people at the house immediately.”“They're on their way.”Donald got into his car, and Alexander entered beside him.The moment the engine started, Donald called Ivy again.No answer.He tried once more.Still nothing.His jaw tightened.“She always answers me.”Alexander looked at him.“Don't assume the worst.”“I can't.”Donald pressed the accelerator.His mind raced through every possibility.The stolen files.The strange woman.The internal executive.The mysterious man.And now Ivy was not answering her phone.Everything seemed to be happening at once.“Alex.”“Yes?”“Call the house.”Alexander did.The call went through.No one answered.He tried again.Nothing.Donald gripped the steering wheel tighter.“Something is wrong.”“We'll find out.”As they approached the house, Donald saw two security vehicles already parked outside.His heart sank.H

The room became completely silent after Donald read the message.Jane stared at him and Alexander slowly stood.“Are you sure?”Donald nodded.“My investigator says they have evidence.”Alexander's expression hardened.“Then we need to know what she has been planning.”Donald looked at Jane.“And we need to understand how far this goes.”Jane wiped the tears from her face.“Will you report me?”Donald looked at her for a long moment.“That depends on what happens next.”Jane lowered her head.“I deserve to face the consequences of what I did.”“Yes,” Donald said quietly. “You do.”She nodded.“But I don't want anyone else getting hurt.”Donald walked toward the door.“Neither do I.”Alexander followed him.Jane suddenly called out.“Donald.”He stopped.She hesitated before speaking.“I am sorry.”Donald looked back at her.“I know.”Then he walked away.Alexander followed him outside.Once they reached the car, Alexander turned to his brother.“What are you going to do?”“Find out wh

The moment Jane ended the call with Jason, she remained standing in the middle of her apartment, staring at the phone in her hand.Her mind was racing.You were never the real target.The words kept repeating in her head.If Donald was the real target, then who had been manipulating her?And why?Jane suddenly remembered the mysterious man who had contacted her days earlier. At the time, she had dismissed him as someone trying to take advantage of her desperation. But now his words seemed different.He had known she wanted Donald.He had known about her anger toward Ivy.He had known details she had never told him.And he had offered to help her.Jane's stomach tightened.She quickly searched through her phone for the number.It was still there.She stared at it.Then she made a decision.She called.The phone rang once.Twice.Three times.Then someone answered.“You shouldn't have called me.”Jane's voice trembled.“Who are you?”“You already know enough.”“No, I don't!”“You know m
