In the YAH Jewelry.
Gael knocked and walked right into the office. Hester was sitting at her desk, flipping through a stack of documents.
Gael stopped in front of her. "I looked into it. The second set of leaks came from an overseas IP. But every time I try to dig deeper, the trail goes completely cold."
Hester paused and looked up. "Whoever it is, they're gunning directly for Weston Corp."
Driven by the massive scandal, Weston Corp's stock was in a freefall this morning. In the Northwood City business world, this was an absolute earthquake.
"The timing is just too perfect." Gael paused, then broke into a grin. "But hey, it works out for us. Saved us a fortune on buying trending traffic!"
Hester, however, looked deeply troubled.
Gael frowned, studying her friend's face. "What's wrong?"
"I'm just worried that with the news blowing up like this, Bella might..."
Before she could finish, her phone lit up on the desk.
It was Julian.
Hester's heart lurched. She answered immediately.
"Bella fainted. She's in the ER."
Hester's pupils shrank, and she shot up from her chair.

Twenty minutes later, at the hospital.
Hester was practically sprinting down the corridor toward the emergency room. Behind her, Gael was frantically trying to keep up, shouting, "Slow down!"
Julian was waiting outside the ER doors. Hearing the commotion, he turned around just as Hester rushed up to him.
