I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 318

When Lily ran out with an umbrella, she froze at the scene before her. Sienna and Silas were standing face-to-face in the rain.

The height difference between them was striking, and they looked incredibly perfect together.

She tugged gently on Isaac's sleeve, pulling him back so they wouldn't intrude.

Sienna got into Silas's car and remained completely silent for most of the ride.

She stared out the window, watching the rain streak down the glass, blurring the glow of the streetlights into hazy smears of gold.

Caspar sat in the passenger seat, twisted around to give Silas a business report.

That was, until Caspar mentioned two specific words: "Mr. Fletcher."

Sienna's scattered thoughts instantly snapped into sharp focus.

She didn't let a single emotion show on her face, but she quietly strained her ears to listen.

Caspar reported,

"Word has it that the whistleblower's surname is Winston. He was their former butler, but he's completely dropped off the grid. No one can find him."

Sienna's heart violently lurched in her chest. A butler named Winston?

Could it be Arthur?

She suddenly remembered being in Willow Creek, when Arthur had shown her the flash drive proving that Ford was the one who had answered that fateful phone call four years ago.

She remembered Arthur saying, "I'm so sorry for what I did to Finn."

He was consumed by guilt.

He had been firmly on Finn's side.

How could the leak possibly come from him?

Silas's tone was ice-cold and merciless.

"Send an email to The Fletcher Group. Tell them that if they cannot reverse public opinion within three days, the partnership is canceled."

Sienna's heart plummeted into her stomach.

Canceled.

She knew that stabilizing the shareholders was the only thing keeping Finn afloat right now, and the AeroJet deal was his ultimate trump card.

If Silas pulled out at this critical moment, the already wavering board members would instantly turn against him.

Finn would never survive the fallout.

It was utterly unimaginable how much crushing pressure Finn must be under right now.

"Sienna?" Silas called her name softly.

Sienna didn't immediately get out of the car.

Instead, she placed the Audi's keys on the center console.

"Silas, this car is far too expensive. Please have Caspar drive it back. Noah is entirely too reckless to be trusted with something like this." She paused for a moment. "And as for the half a million dollars you lent my parents, I will pay you back in full."

Silas's expression instantly froze over.

"I thought we had finally taken a step forward."

"Business is business." Sienna met his gaze unflinchingly. "Silas, I hope you understand."

Hearing her say his name, Silas's rigid expression instantly melted.

It was as if she had struck a hidden chord within him. The corners of his lips curved upward.

"Alright. Whatever you want, I'll allow it. As long as it makes you happy."

Sienna nodded and waved goodbye.

The second Silas's car disappeared down the street, she desperately pulled out her phone and dialed Maeve Thorne's number.

It rang for an agonizingly long time before Maeve finally picked up.

"Maeve, have you seen the news online? Finn is in trouble. Can you get in touch with Arthur?"
