2026-10-22 13:00:47The examination lasted for several hours. The investigators presented transaction documents, communication records, and statements from individuals they had previously questioned.
George tried to answer every question carefully, but several of his statements did not match the available records.
When the investigators presented evidence linking him to the arrangement of transactions through Barnas Moonville, he could no longer avoid every question.

He put the phone aside without replying. There was no need to send another invitation immediately. Angelic had made her position clear, and he intended to respect it.He returned his attention to the documents.For now, there was plenty of work waiting for him.And somewhere in the city, an organization that would eventually change countless lives was beginning to take shape.Group Celine's financial department had been unusually busy over the past few days.Several large transactions had appeared in the stock market, with an investment company steadily acquiring shares in the group. At first, the management team had paid little attention to it.However, as the purchases continued, the company's financial director began to suspect that the transactions were not ordinary market activity.He brought the latest report directly to Celine.

"A new investor has started purchasing our company's shares. The amount is quite substantial."Celine paused."A new investor?""Yes. It seems they're interested in the company's prospects."A faint sense of relief finally crossed Celine's face after weeks of mounting pressure."Who is the investor?""We're still trying to identify the party behind the investment firm."Celine nodded slowly."Doesn't matter!"At least someone still believed Celine Group was worth saving.What she didn't know was that behind the growing flow of investment into her company was someone who had long been determined to take control of the entire business.And that person was Damian Blackwood.The following morning, Damian arrived at the office earlier than usual.

Damian was still sitting in his office when the System interface slowly faded from his view.The figure of twenty percent lingered in his mind. He had never expected a relationship that had seemed perfectly fine to deteriorate without him even realizing it was happening.After giving it considerable thought, Damian finally let out a quiet sigh.He had no intention of forcing Angelic into anything. If she needed time and distance, he would give her both. At the very least, he would not use the System as an excuse to keep pursuing someone who might not be ready to accept his presence in her life.Damian picked up his phone and called Marcus."Come to my office tomorrow. There's something I want to discuss with you.""What is it about?" Marcus asked from the other end."We're going to build something."Marcus fell silent

Damian would not abandon any of that simply because he had witnessed Celine's tears.Yet, as he reopened the documents on his computer, the image of the white lilies and Celine's remorseful voice lingered in his mind.Not because he wanted to return to the past, but because he finally understood how far someone could lose their way when they made another person's recognition the sole measure of their worth.After the recording of Celine ended, Damian remained seated in silence in his office. The woman's confession had left a lasting impression on him. He had never expected someone to become so obsessed with another person's recognition that they would eventually destroy themselves.However, that was precisely what made his thoughts turn toward Angelic.Damian recalled their last meeting, when Angelic had brought him some documents and overheard him talking about Celine. Their relationship had felt slightly different ever since. Angelic had never openly admitted that she was offended,

Celine raised her face, staring at the gravestone through her increasingly blurred vision."I should have built something for myself. I should have proven my abilities without destroying what you had worked so hard to build. But I was so busy trying to defeat you that I forgot the person I hurt the most was myself."Her hand moved to touch one of the white lilies."I've lost so much, Damian. People's trust, the company I was once so proud of, and even those who used to be willing to help me. Now, when I need them, almost no one is willing to stand by my side."Her voice cracked."And the most painful thing is realizing that none of this has made you come to me. I thought that if I managed to take something away from you, you would finally understand how I felt. I wanted you to get angry with me, to challenge me, even to hate me, as long as it meant you truly saw me."Celine covered her face with both hands."But I gained nothing."Her sobs grew louder. For a while, she couldn't utter

That afternoon, Celine received another report from the finance department. Her applications for additional loans from several banks had also been rejected. Meanwhile, the private financing institutions that had initially been willing to consider her requests were demanding collateral that the company could not provide without sacrificing important assets.Celine crumpled the report in her hands."How is it possible that they're all rejecting us at the same time?"No one dared to answer.She walked toward the window and gazed at the buildings in the distance. For years, she had believed that money and influence could open almost any door. Now, she was beginning to understand that once trust was lost, money alone was not always enough to restore it.Her thoughts immediately turned to George.The man had always promised to help her face anything that came her way. He had even been willing to take the blame to protect her. But now George was in custody, and Celine had no idea what he had
