“Mom, don’t stress too much. We’ve already handed over the key anyway.” Seeing Hayley’s worried look, Zara reassured her

again.

Hayley nodded, smiling. “Yeah.”

She thought, ‘Anyway, no one will definitely find out about what we’ve done in the short term.

When they do discover it, I’ll shift the blame.

And even if I really can’t shift it, I can always make up excuses.

Judging by the fact that Bette has apologized to me, Daron is clearly on our side!

‘As long as we don’t go up against Marina during this time, we still have a chance,” Hayley said. “Zara, we’ve endured for so many years. What’s a few more?”

Zara nodded obediently and leaned forward, resting her head beside Hayley’s hospital bed.

Hayley reached out and gently ruffled Zara’s hair, her face full of warmth.

After putting his phone away, Daron turned to look out the window.

Marina merely glanced at him without asking who had called. She then turned her eyes back to the road and kept driving.

When they got home, Marina pulled the car into the garage.

She turned to Daron and said with a soft voice, “We’re home.”

Daron just nodded gently.

Marina opened the car door and got out, and Daron followed right after.

As they waited for the elevator, Daron looked at Marina and asked in a deep voice, “Aren’t you curious who just called me

Marina replied coolly, “I already know who it was, so there’s no need to ask.”

Daron glanced down at Marina beside him, his lips pressed into a thin line.

The elevator doors slid

open.

Marina stepped in first.

Daron followed, watching her as he asked, “Don’t you want to know how I’m going to deal with this?”

Marina shook her head and said, “You’ve already made up your mind. I won’t ask.”

Daron frowned, and after a long pause, he said in a low voice. “Hayley’s done a lot for me, so… this is the last time

Marina looked up at him, nodded, and said softly, “Alright, do what you think is best,”

Daron pulled Marina into his arms and said in a low voice, “Is this way of handling things too hard for people to accept?

Marina nestled in Daron’s arms. After a long silence, she finally said in a low voice, “You already korre the movery, try stay

even ask?

“If I were in your position, I could understand why you did it. But if I were Bette right now, I honestly contest scene your

favoritism.”

Daron said, “I’ll make it up to her.”

Marina replied, “Perhaps what she needs isn’t your compensation

Daron fell silent.

Marina placed her hand on Daron’s chest and patted it softly.

“Take some time to think about how you want to deal with Bette,’ she said. I need to go and answer a worktext

The elevator doors slid open, and Marina stepped out.

Daron lingered in the elevator for a while before finally stepping out.

After replying to a message from the Finley Group, Marina passed by the study.

She glanced in and caught sight of Daron sitting in his office chair, lost in thought as he stared at the computer screen.

Marina decided not to bother him and just went back to her room.

The moment Marina stepped into her room, Kara’s call came through.

Marina saw it was Kara calling and picked up right away.

Kara was living alone overseas now, and Marina wondered if she was getting used to it

Lately, she’d been so swamped that even when she went to Frency, she still couldn’t manage to meet Kara

Kara, how have you been lately?” Marina answered the call, holding the phone to her ear, her voice softening as she spoke

just like always, Kara’s excited voice burst out the moment Marina picked up.

Guess what? I just got some juicy gossip about the Zamora family,” Kara said.

Marina raised an eyebrow at her words.

“What kind of gossip?” Marina asked.

Kara snickered and said, “You know that info agency I run? Well, they landed a new client today. Guess who?”

Marina raised an eyebrow and replied coolly, “Mr. Harris Zamora?”

Kara was taken aback for a second that Marina guessed it right away, then asked, “How did you know?”

Marina let out a wry chuckle. “Weren’t you the one who said you had Zamora family gossip?”

Kara tutted playfully. “So, you already knew?”

Marina chuckled, “No, I have no idea. So, what’s the scoop? Come on, tell me!

It had been ages since they’d caught up, and Marina didn’t want the call to end.

Plus, she was honestly curious about what Harris was trying to find out.

Kara immediately replied, “My company’s detective called me today and told me all about it.

“Harris was asking around about what’s been happening in the jewelry business lately.

“Recently, some crazy expensive, insanely brilliant jewelry has popped up on the black market, stuff you’d never see on the regular market. Guess where it all came from?”

Hearing that, Marina raised an eyebrow.

She’d always assumed Hayley had been selling off Wilhelmina’s things for ages.

‘So it only just started recently?‘ Marina wondered. ‘If it only just started recently, then it probably happened around the time word got out that Daron was injured and in the hospital.

‘And if it was during that time…”

Marina rubbed her temples, thinking, ‘No wonder Daron’s been acting like this.

‘Getting stabbed in the back by someone you trust must really hurt.

And to make things worse, he actually owed them a debt of gratitude.

“That’s probably why he said this would be the last time.‘

“Marina, are you still there?” Kara asked after not getting a response for a while.

Marina answered softly, “Yeah, I’m listening.”

Kara laughed, “Did I blow your mind with that news?”

Marina played along, “Yeah, you totally got me.”

Kara hurried on, “You know what? My people looked into it, and those jewels turned out to be Wilhelmina’s keepsakes.

“And get this, they found out Hayley was the one selling them off.

“On her busiest day, she cashed out five luxury pieces all at once.”

Marina frowned deeply.

‘If all this info has been dug up, Harris must have shown it to Daron already, Marina thought.

Kara dropped her voice, speaking in a hushed tone, “Marina, I’m only telling you this, so you have to pretend you never heard a thing. We signed a confidentiality agreement.

“But you’re my best friend, and I really don’t want you getting mixed up in the Zamora family’s drama.

“Promise me you’ll stay safe.”

Although raised in the lap of luxury by the Gross family, Kara was well aware that behind the grandeur of a family like the Zamora family lay ruthless power struggles and unsavory dealings.
