Zane’s eyes widened in shock, but he quickly composed himself and tried to look unfazed.

Finn just frowned and said nothing, waiting coldly to see what she’d do next.

“Mr. Lock, I really didn’t want to do this, but I had no other choice.”

Janice nearly buried her face in her chest in shame, tears sliding down both cheeks.

Zane watched from the side, feeling a pang of sympathy for her.

“Ms. Stuart, you’re in Aetheris. If Mr. Lock says he’ll protect you, who would dare lay a hand on you? What exactly are you so afraid of?”

He tried to reason with her, his tone gentle.

After all, this wasn’t just about Finn–it concerned Tess’s fate too.

“And didn’t you say Mrs. Lock helped you a lot when you were at the company? Now that Mr. Lock wants to clear Mrs. Lock’s name, how can you just stand by and do nothing?”

Zane continued to persuade her.

Finally, Janice’s body shook violently, as if she’d finally made up her mind about something.

She slumped, staring down at the floor like a deflated balloon.

When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with guilt and despair.

Her hands twisted together as she nervously glanced at Finn.

Is Mr. Lock really planning to clear Mrs. Lock’s name, just like Mr. Black said?

He was the one who sent her to prison in the first place, wasn’t he?

And all these years, there have been rumors about him and Nadine.

Is he really going to choose Mrs. Lock over Nadine?

Janice’s heart was pounding. She bit her lip but still didn’t say anything.

At last, Finn’s patience ran out.

“Leave Aetheris tomorrow.”

He stood up.

Whether she’d been threatened or just acted out of self–interest, Janice’s betrayal of Tess was a fact. If she wouldn’t help, leaving Aetheris was already the lightest punishment.

His towering figure cast a deep shadow over her, the pressure almost suffocating.

Janice’s eyes went wide.

“Leave Aetheris?

“No, please, no!”

Her emotions finally broke loose, and she turned desperately to Zane for help.

But Zane could only shake his head helplessly.

Janice’s heart lurched as she rushed over to Finn. “Mr. Lock…

Standing right next to Finn, he towered over her, looking down with a cold, unreadable gaze.

It was only then that Janice saw how dark his eyes were–it was like staring into a black hole.

She swallowed hard, fear creeping over her. At last, she gave in. “Mr. Lock, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything!”

“I will tell you everything, just please don’t make me leave Aetheris!”

Finn paused, then sat back down and waited for her to go on.

The terrifying sense of oppression finally eased.

Janice’s lashes fluttered as she forced herself past her last wall of resistance.

Despair washed over her.

She looked up, as if lost in a whirlpool of old memories.

“Mr. Lock, you might not know this. Aetheris is famous for its advanced medical technology. I came here mainly to treat my mom’s illness.

“A year ago, someone threatened me, using my mother as leverage to force me out of Lock Group. It wasn’t out of the blue. That day, I happened to notice some confidential files in the file room had been tampered with.”

Hearing that, Finn’s face darkened, and Zane tensed up as well.

“My mom couldn’t handle being transferred to another hospital again, and from my investigation, I could tell that someone was targeting Mrs. Lock from the start.”

Janice’s voice was soft, but the words landed like a net around Finn’s heart.

Hearing something he’d suspected but tried to ignore, Finn slumped in his chair, drained of strength.

He clung to the armrests, as if he could crush the conspiracy with his bare hands.

“Why should I believe you?”
