It went without saying–Collin was capable and not someone to be easily moved.

Damian frowned, a headache brewing.

Isabelle didn’t leave the police station until two in the afternoon.

Nicole had been charged. Due to her recent miscarriage, she was under guard in the hospital.

From her statement, they learned that the company under Gary’s name had been acquired by Cypher Group on Christmas Eve.

Back in the car, neither spoke, falling into an unspoken cold war.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Brian felt like he was trapped in an icebox. The tension was palpable.

They barely made it through a late lunch at a restaurant. Brian didn’t dare breathe too loudly, carefully picking at his food, afraid any wrong move would draw ire.

“Brian, why are you dressed like that?” Isabelle finally spoke, but not to Damian.

Brian gave a weak smile. “My grandma bought it. Made me wear it through the workday. Said it was for good luck.”

“And you believed that? Might as well put cash under your pillow,” Damian muttered dismissively.

“Mr. Cross, you might not realize that some things can’t be bought with money. ‘Money power‘ doesn’t solve everything,” Isabelle shot back, angrily shoving a large piece of meat into her mouth.

Talking to him is infuriating.

Her mind was on the villa explosion.

If they ultimately pin it on me, will Damian do like in those novels–throw a few million dollars at the problem to silence everyone?

That does sound like something he’d do.

Damian was silenced by her retort.

Brian kept his head down, focusing on his meal and minimizing his presence.

After lunch, Brian found an excuse and left early.

He’d brought the guards, thinking there was an emergency. Otherwise, he’d still be on his vacation–he had several days left.

The quiet car was awkward again, just the two of them, with only the hum of the engine in the background.

Damian drove with one hand, his other free, wanting to reach for hers.

But she kept her face turned to the window, hands in her lap, giving him only the back of h head.

He licked his lips, thinking of how to make things right.

This is going to be tough to fix.

Just then, Celeste called.

Damian glanced at the name flashing on the screen, then at the woman sulking beside him.

He answered, putting it on speaker.

“Mr. Cross, I’m sorry. I don’t have your wife’s number, so I had to call you,” Celeste said from her hospital bed, glancing at Sean and Keira, who looked displeased beside her.

“Go on,” Damian replied flatly, pulling the car over to watch Isabelle’s profile as he listened.

Celeste said, “I didn’t get to thank you properly before, and now this mess… I’m so sorry Mrs. Cross was put through that.”

Isabelle stiffened slightly but quickly composed herself

It wasn’t my fault to begin with

Damian watched her reaction closely. “And” he said into the phone.

Celeste stated, “It was my mistake yesterday. I was probably feverish and confiased last magtha. I just remembered now–I did turn the gas on I was going to cook the ravioli I believe Mrs

Cross went back to the kitchen to turn it off. I hope she isn’t upset. I apologize for today’s misunderstanding and hope it won’t cause any friction between you.”

Damian fell silent.

The friction is already there. What’s the point of apologizing now? Why is she backtracking and taki the blame off Isabelle?

Shouldn’t she be capitalizing on her injury? Or did she mess up somewhere?

Damian pinched the cheek of the woman beside him, waiting for her reaction. Isabelle ignored him, unresponsive.
