To think that the business they had built together from the ground up would end in such a messy separation… It was a poignant reminder that money and greed were a beast that devoured everything.
“So who’s helping him?” Felicia asked.
“It’s still under investigation,” Greg said.
In truth, he already knew. It was Trey. Darin’s people had, of course, tipped him off in advance, but he didn’t want to tell Felicia. He knew it would only make her angry.
Felicia didn’t press him further.
“I’ve been preparing for this. I already have a plan,” he reassured her. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”
“Okay. It sounds like you’re going to be busy again.”
“It can’t be helped.”
For the next week, life fell into a routine.
Felicia went to work as usual, temporarily staying with Anne at the Ross family estate. Every morning, she would drop her daughter off at school.
And every day after school, Anne would go straight to her mother’s office instead of home. She would wait for Felicia to finish work, and they would go home together. She was like her mother’s little shadow, never wanting to be apart.
If only life could always be like this, just her and Anne.
She knew this perfect, private happiness was fleeting. Still, she savored the short-lived peace, finding comfort in these beautiful moments.
As for the situation at Northwick, Felicia didn't ask. She trusted Jeremy to handle it. All she had to do was focus on her own work.
Max sent her messages sporadically throughout the day and video-called Anne every night, right on schedule.
Meanwhile, at Roen Capital, Anthony was still dealing with the company's internal personnel issues.
The entire office was on edge, with everyone terrified of becoming collateral damage.
