She Turned Her Grief Into Wings novel Chapter 156

"This is the cutest thing ever! This is the Goddess Athena look we were just talking about!"

Xenia reached out, gently touching the embroidered head. She looked at Shera, her eyes full of absolute adoration.

"You're so adorable, baby."

Shera stared at the gift for a long time before looking up at Pearce.

"Thank you, Felipa... and thank you, Dr. Pembroke."

Pearce slipped one hand casually into the pocket of his white coat, his tone gentle. "You're very welcome, Ms. Jewell."

Watching the two of them, Xenia rolled her eyes dramatically.

"Could you two possibly be any more formal? You've known each other for a while now."

She glanced between them. "Ms. Jewell? Dr. Pembroke?"

By evening, the news of the fatal crash on the Southside main road was everywhere.

According to reporters on the scene, the accident was caused by slick roads and the cement truck experiencing total brake failure.

The driver of the cement truck sustained minor injuries. However, the transport vehicle driver, two police officers, and the inmate were killed instantly.

Reports confirmed the inmate was a twenty-seven-year-old female with the surname Kerr.

The case was still under investigation, but authorities were currently ruling it a tragic accident.

Meanwhile, back at the Hayes Group, chaos had erupted internally, and the old patriarch was absolutely furious.

Caden checked himself out of the hospital and rushed straight to the family estate.

When he arrived, several luxury cars were parked outside.

The family doctor, board members, and various relatives were already there.

Rowena was pacing by the front door. The second she saw him, she stormed over and grabbed his arm.

"Look at the mess you've made! Do you have any idea how upset your father is?"

Caden furrowed his brows. "What happened?"

She scoffed. "That stunt you pulled with Mr. Grant? The executives and board members are furious. They caused a massive scene on the top floor this afternoon."

"The old man already knew about that. What did those vultures say? Do they want me to step down?"
