Return Home

“Rey? Roy Dominguez from the Dominguez Group?” Katie’s voice rang with a mixture of surprise and disbelief.

Alex nodded, his expression serious. “That’s right. He’s your uncle, isn’t he? I need you to find a way to bring him to the

banquet.”

“Don’t tell me this is about her again.” A playful smirk spread across Katie’s face, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous light as she studied Alex. “You do realize my uncle is a very busy man, right? Getting him to show up isn’t exactly easy.”

Alex touched his nose, a subconscious gesture that betrayed his unease. A blush tinged his cheeks as he felt Katie’s gaze piercing through his schemes, yet he struggled to maintain a semblance of dignity. “Let’s cut to the chase, Katie. How much do you want to help me?” he asked.

Katie’s laughter filled the air as she teasingly held up five fingers.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Alex, determined not to dicker about details, transferred 500, 000 dollars to her account.

The chime of the transaction notification reverberated between them.

Katie’s eyes lit up with sheer delight as she glanced at her phone, her lips curling into a satisfied grin as though she could

almost taste the sweetness of the money. “Wow, hitting the jackpot feels just like this, huh? I could definitely get used to

it.”

Alex’s patience wore thin at her overt display of avarice.

With a slight frown, he brushed past her, his parting words carrying a stern warning. “Remember, Katie, fraud involving

large sums can lead to prosecution. You’ve just pocketed half a million from me. If Roy doesn’t show up tomorrow, I’ll

have no choice but to report this as fraud.”

Alex’s voice, though calm, was tinged with a steely authority that commanded attention.

Katie felt a wave of surprise wash over her as the light from her phone screen danced across her features, revealing a

tumult of emotions.

The device in her hand suddenly seemed to sear her skin like a piece of burning coal.

“Um… well…” Katie stuttered, her eyes flicking around in a desperate search for the right words.

She watched helplessly as Alex walked away, leaving her heart pounding in a frenzy of alarm.

In that moment, she understood that Alex was not someone to be taken lightly.

Snapping back to reality, Katie quickly dialed a number.

“Hello, Uncle Roy…” she choked out, her voice quivering. “I need help!”

Meanwhile, Noah found the sterile scent of disinfectant in the hospital overwhelmingly oppressive.

After Kyla was settled, the clock had almost struck ten.

He wearily pulled out his phone and dialed Samuel’s number.

“Has Sadie gone home?” he questioned, his voice a quiet murmur laced with barely perceptible exhaustion.

Silence lingered on the other end of the line, stretching for a moment.

“Uh, what? Mr. Wall, should I drive there and check?” Samuel’s voice wavered with uncertainty.

Noah hung up without a word, his heart pounding as he rushed to Sadie’s ward, only to find it vacant.

He assumed she had already gone home.

Just then, his phone rang–it was Samuel. “Mr. Wall, Mrs. Wall hasn’t come home.”
