Karina rubbed her temples, trying to dull the mounting headache. “Where is Ryan? Is he back yet?”

“He’s on his way,” her secretary said, not looking up from her tablet. “I talked to him three minutes ago. He should be pulling up any second.”

Downstairs, a black sedan screeched to a halt. The moment Ryan stepped out, a swarm of reporters surged forward, shoving microphones in his face.

“Is the Chairman ever going to address this personally?”

“Is the Light Estate plot toxic? Are you pulling the plug on the project?”

“Did Skyreach know the land was compromised before you started selling? Isn’t this just a scam?”

“Just give us a statement! Is the project dead?”

Ryan kept his face like stone and his pace steady. “Stop the speculation,” he said, his voice cutting through the shouting. “There isn’t a shred of evidence to back up these headlines. We’re already looking into our legal options regarding these hit pieces. As for the land itself, we’ll issue a formal response when we’re ready. Now, get out of my way.” He pushed through the glass doors, leaving security to deal with the cameras.

He barely had his coat off in his office before Karina marched in. “Well? Do we have anything?”

Ryan set his briefcase down and yanked his tie loose, looking completely drained. “It’s too early for the lab results. I sent the samples over, but honestly… there is a faint scent of hydrogen sulfide out there. It’s buried under a dozen other smells, so you wouldn’t notice unless you were specifically looking for it. What I don’t get is how the hell the person behind the leak knew where to dig. When I surveyed the site, I thought it was just some stagnant drainage ditch. I didn’t think twice about it.”

Karina’s face went pale. “If there’s a gas pocket under that soil, the city will kill this project before we even break ground.”

Ryan sank into his chair, his fingers drumming a restless rhythm on the desk. “Lilian was so sure about this place. She told me herself there wouldn’t be any issues and that this area would become a major hub. She’s never been wrong, not once. But I don’t know how we talk our way out of this.”

He’d followed Lilian’s lead for years. Every gamble she took paid off; every instinct she had was gold. He wanted to trust her, but the reality on the ground was starting to look ugly.

“We wait for the report,” Karina said, trying to steady herself. “Lilian lands this afternoon. We don’t do anything until she’s in the

room.”

Ryan nodded grimly. “That’s all we can do.”

Across town, in the study of the Soren estate, Robert’s face was a dangerous shade of red. He stared at the headlines for a long moment before slamming the newspaper onto his desk. “Who leaked this?” he roared.

He had discovered the secret of that land by accident and had spent years burying it, terrified that someone would catch wind of what was beneath the surface. If the truth came out, he’d lose any hope of getting it back.

Now, someone had thrown that secret into the spotlight. The full story hadn’t broken yet, but the entire city was watching. If the
