Sebastian paused, his hand hovering over the table. “If that’s the case, Janus probably has half the story and is filling in the blanks. This whole thing is likely just a play to manipulate public opinion.”

“Janus is unbelievable,” Lilian said, her voice dropping to a cold edge. “Where does he get the nerve to make such claims? What does he actually gain from trashing the reputation of the land? Even if he managed to buy it back, he’s tanking the value of the very asset he’s chasing. It makes no sense.”

Sebastian set the wipe aside. “I don’t think he cares about the market value. He’s after the succession, and as long as he secures his seat as the heir, the land is just a pawn. He’s the type to get what he wants by any means necessary, and if he can’t have it, he’ll burn it to the ground so no one else can. That’s what makes him dangerous; he truly has no bottom line.”

Lilian’s gaze turned icy. “Is that so? Then I’d love to see him try and burn me. Let’s see how far his no holds barred attitude actually gets him.”

After breakfast, Sebastian drove her to the office. As expected, a horde of reporters was still camping out at the entrance. Lilian stared out the window at the chaos. “They really don’t know when to quit, do they?”

Sebastian frowned at the crowd. “This is the biggest story in Kingston right now. They aren’t going anywhere until they get a scoop. Maybe you should have Karina and Ryan bring the files to the villa instead. It’s safer than risking someone recognizing you in this mess.”

“It’s fine. They won’t know it’s me,” Lilian said. She pulled a baseball cap low over her eyes and reached for the door handle.

Sebastian caught her arm, pulling her back toward him. He leaned in and pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead. “If anything gets out of hand, you call me. I’ll handle it.”

Lilian looked into his deep, steady eyes. “You’ll be right there behind me, won’t you?”

“Always,” Sebastian promised, his voice thick with affection. “Don’t worry about crossing the Sorens. No matter what happens, I’ve got you.”

Lilian managed to slip past the cameras and into the building unnoticed. She headed straight for the top floor, but she had barely sat down at her desk before Karina and Ryan burst into the office.

“Did the vultures catch you at the door?” Karina asked immediately.

Lilian tossed her cap onto the desk and smiled. “Why would they bother with me? I’m the ghost in the machine, and hardly anyone knows I exist. Besides, I was in full disguise. To them, I was just another face in the crowd.”

Karina sank into a chair with a groan. “Must be nice. Ryan and I are the ones getting mobbed. I swear, bad news travels at light speed. One tiny rumor and these reporters are already writing our obituary and predicting the company’s bankruptcy.”

“Tell me about it,” Ryan added, looking equally frayed “Yesterday, some reporter asked me to my face if we were running a scam on consumers. I nearly lost it. Their imagination is out of control”
