Chapter 104
Vanessa's expression was clouded with worry. She wondered how she could see Darren.For the first time in a long while, she found herself thinking about her estranged husband with an intensity she could hardly ignore.The military project had collapsed. The original weapon parameters were permanently lost, and the company had been left facing the consequences of Adrian's decisions. Worse still, the incident had exposed just how much Vanessa had failed to understand about the department she was supposed to oversee.She remembered the Chief Engineer's explanation about the protected data and the email he had previously sent her. She had received the warning but had barely given it the attention it deserved.If she had listened more carefully, perhaps things would not have reached this point.And now, there was only one person she could think of who might have been able to prevent such a disaster.Darren!He had personally developed the original weapon parameters. He understood the syst
Chapter 103
For months, she had believed Darren was responsible for the incident. She had accused him of deliberately harming Adrian, condemned his actions, and allowed her anger to blind her to every possibility that contradicted her assumptions.She remembered standing before Darren, looking directly into his eyes and telling him that she was disappointed and disgusted with him.She remembered how he had reacted.He had not argued or desperately attempted to defend himself.He had simply looked at her, and she had watched the life and emotion disappear from his eyes.At the time, she had interpreted his silence as an unwillingness to accept responsibility.Now, she understood how terribly wrong she had been.Darren had been innocent!Adrian had been the one who attempted to push him into the path of the tanker.And she had blamed the wrong person.Vanessa's mind went completely blank.For several seconds, she could not even remember what she had intended to do after reading the lawsuit notice.
Chapter 102
Vanessa's eyes fixed on the lawsuit notice displayed on her phone.The name of the plaintiff was unmistakable. It was the fuel tanker driver involved in the accident, the same driver whose vehicle had nearly become the instrument of a terrible tragedy involving Darren.Initially, she had struggled to understand why the man would institute legal proceedings against her. However, as she continued reading the attached documents, her confusion gradually gave way to growing apprehension.The notice contained details of the investigation conducted after the incident.According to the information provided, the driver had reported the matter to the police shortly after the accident. Following his complaint, the authorities had initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the near collision.They had obtained and reviewed the surveillance footage from the area, carefully examining the events leading up to the incident.What they discovered had completely changed the direction
Chapter 101
She stared at the email again, but the words had already become blurred by the tears gathering in her eyes."So you really meant it?"Her lower lip trembled. "You really wanted to divorce me?"She could hardly believe it.For weeks, she had been angry with him for leaving home, abandoning his responsibilities, and refusing to communicate. She had repeatedly blamed him for everything that had happened within the Weapons R&D Department.She had even planned to confront him and demand that he return to face the consequences of his actions.But now she had discovered that he had already taken a much more decisive step.He had legally ended their marriage.And she had unknowingly participated in making it possible.Tears quickly gathered in her eyes before finally spilling over.Vanessa lowered her head, covering her mouth with one hand as her shoulders began to shake.For the first time in a long while, she completely lost control of her emotions.She cried.Not the quiet tears she had s
Chapter 100
Vanessa stared at her phone, unable to shake the disturbing realization that had just settled over her.Darren had canceled his number.It was no longer a matter of him refusing to answer her calls or deliberately ignoring her messages. The number she had used to reach him for the past three years no longer existed. He had seemingly severed one of the last connections between them, leaving her with no immediate way of finding out where he was or what he intended to do next.That meant he truly intended to cut off all contact with her completely.The thought sent an uncomfortable shiver through her.She tried to convince herself that she was overthinking the situation. Perhaps Darren had simply changed his number and needed some time away from everyone and would eventually contact her when he was ready.But the memories she had just recalled made those explanations increasingly difficult to accept.Darren might have been preparing to leave her for good.Vanessa swallowed painfully an
Chapter 99
Every time Vanessa looked at Adrian, she remembered the horrifying moment he had coughed up blood before collapsing in the conference room.It was a sight she could hardly forget.However, Adrian's sudden medical emergency was only the latest addition to a series of problems that had been weighing heavily on her mind.The accumulated anxiety and exhaustion of recent weeks had already pushed her close to her emotional breaking point. The failed military contract, the growing complications within the Weapons R&D Department, and the uncertainty surrounding the company's future had all taken a considerable toll on her.She had barely found time to rest, and even when she managed to get some sleep, her mind remained occupied with the problems awaiting her the following morning.Now, Adrian had collapsed under the immense pressure of trying to keep the department functioning.The doctor had explained that his condition was connected to his previous injuries, unhealthy working habits, and e
