Allen kept stressing just how crucial this project was to Charles.

Charles was well aware, but he couldn’t get Alicia off his mind.

Charles said, “Go take care of what I asked you to handle. I’m heading out to meet Mr. Huffman now”

Allen wanted to say more, but Charles fixed him with a cold stare, so he shut up and went off to arrange things like Charles told him.

Charles went to see Anthony.

Anthony held a cup of coffee, smiling warmly, “Charles, want to join me for a cup? Give this one a try. It’s got a bitter kick with a little sour note, but it’ll have you wide awake in no time.”

Charles smiled, “It’s always a pleasure to share a coffee with you, Mr. Huffman. Unfortunately, I’ll have to pass this time. Something urgent has come up and I need to head home right away, Guess our project will have to wait.”

“Oh?” Anthony raised his brows at Charles. “Got a bigger deal waiting for you? Or is my offer just not persuasive enough to keep you here a little longer?”

Charles shook his head. “No, it’s nothing business–related. It’s personal. The girl I care about is being pushed around, and I need to go back and have her back. If I don’t go right now, I might lose her.”

Charles didn’t buy for a second that Alicia was dead. He just figured the Lawrence family was bullying her again.

Anthony was the ultimate family guy, and his love story with his wife was legendary. He really understood how Charles felt and was supportive.

Anthony tightened his fist. “I’m behind you, Charles. Go for it. Make sure you protect your beloved girl.”

Charles gave a faint smile. “Thanks.”

Anthony smiled, “Don’t mention it. I fully support you in your personal life, but when it comes to business, I just can’t wait any longer. If we can’t talk this time, we’ll have to call off our partnership for now. Still, I really admire you, Charles, and if there’s ever another chance, I’d love to work with you again.”

“I get

1. it. Thank you.” Charles nodded. “And I’m really sorry for wasting your time this time around.”

“It’s okay. I actually enjoyed our conversation a lot. I hope we’ll meet again,” Anthony replied.

Charles smiled, “We will.”

“Alright then, I’ll get going. There are a bunch of other companies lined up waiting to meet with me,” Anthony said, putting down his coffee cup and standing up.

Charles saw him off at the hotel entrance.

After Allen finished what Charles told him to do and got back to the hotel, he caught sight of Anthony’s back. Allen was frustrated and angry as hell, but he just had to suck it up in the end.

The whole company was Charles’s, and he had personally handled every meeting and negotiation with Anthony. Allen had seen Charles work himself to the bone on this project, taking endless flak from the old shareholders, burning through cash and effort, all just to pivot the company and shift its focus overseas.

But now, it was all gone. When they got back and the deal fell through, the old shareholders were bound to give them a hard time, and the company’s big transformation would get pushed even further down the road.

Allen was so frustrated that he could scream.

Allen came up to Charles, struggling to hide his frustration. “Mr. Yates, you really just let Mr. Huffman leave like that? So what do we do now?”

Charles didn’t even look at him, cutting straight to the point. “What time is our flight?” He wasn’t interested in talking business anymore. He only cared about getting home.

Allen clenched his jaw, forcing down the rest of his complaints. “1:30. We’ve got about an hour.”

“Start packing,” Charles ordered. “I’m heading to the airport to wait. If you miss the private jet, take the next available flight and meet me back there.”

With that, he strode out of the hotel without a backward glance.

Allen could only swallow his frustration and head back to his hotel room to pack.

Charles got to the airport, took care of the paperwork himself, and boarded the plane.

As expected, Allen missed the private jet, so Charles had to fly alone. The flight was non–stop, with no layovers or delays. After a ten–hour flight, he landed back home.

By the time Charles landed, it was already 3:00pm the next day.

He didn’t catch a single wink during the flight, his thoughts tangled up in worry. The second he landed, he grabbed his phone and called Harvey.

Harvey had stopped by the police station, spoken with the cops, and even gone to see the body which was burnt beyond recognition.

On the body, he noticed a little trinket he’d seen before on Alicia.

Perhaps it had been hidden under her, since while everything else was roasted to charcoal, that little trinket only had its edges slightly charred.

Seeing this, Harvey felt a chill settling in his chest. In an instant, he saw that stubborn, delicate girl again. Her eyes shining with determination as she told Adam, “I believe in Doctor Johnson. He’d never do something like that. He’s a man of true healing principles.”

For the first time in his life, someone had placed absolute, unconditional trust in him.

Harvey felt a sting at the tip of his nose. Before the emotion could overwhelm him, he spun around and left

the morgue.

Outside, he barely pulled himself together and his phone buzzed. It was Charles calling
