“Prepare a hush money fund for the people below. Handle the cemetery tonight. Be quick. Do you understand? This must remain confidential. Not a word can leak.”

Jane understood the potential consequences the Whitewood Group would face if the news got out.

“Yes.”

Inside the classroom, Seraphina’s phone buzzed softly. She glanced at the message before slipping it back into her bag.

The game was about to begin.

Seraphina wasn’t surprised by Oberon’s decisive move. What did catch her off guard was that he had forgotten how easily secrets could slip through the cracks, no matter how carefully they were guarded.

Seraphina hadn’t revealed anything, though.

While Seraphina pulled the strings behind the scenes, Chloe’s situation was far more chaotic.

“Augustus, I’ve spent a significant sum to find someone willing to help Rowan’s death sentence has been commuted to a one–year probation. Once the year is over, it can be changed to a life sentence, and after that, it will gradually be reduced. He’ll be out before we know it.”

“How long is ‘before we know it‘?” Augustus was far from pleased with this outcome.

“The other party said it would take at least four or five years to resolve. Anything sooner would be difficult.”

“Four or five years?! You want my son to rot in prison for that long? He’s not your son. You don’t care, do you?” Augustus‘ impatience was palpable.

The last time he visited, Rowan had been covered in bruises, begging him with desperation to help him escape. How could a father sit by and watch his child suffer?

Chloe bit her lip, holding back her frustration. “Four or five years is the fastest we can manage.”

She didn’t want to dwell on the crime Rowan had committed. The process of moving from a death sentence to release in that time frame was extraordinary.

“Fastest time?” Augustus scoffed. “Someone told me she could get Rowan out safely within a month. As far as I’m concerned, you never intended to help. You’re just dragging your feet.”

“Who told you that?” Chloe’s spine stiffened, a chill crawling up her back. Something felt wrong.

“That’s none of your concern.”

With that, Augustus ended the call and immediately dialed Seraphina’s number.

Seraphina was still in class when her phone buzzed. She quickly glanced at the screen, saw that it was Augustus, and immediately stood up. Turning to her teacher, Xavier, she asked, “Mr. Donovan, may I use

the restroom?”

Xavier waved his hand, signaling that she could go.

With her phone in hand, Seraphina stepped outside and found a quiet corner.

“Mr. Kennedy, have you come to your senses?” she asked, her voice calm.

“Can you really guarantee my son will be out in a month?” Augustus‘ tone was filled with skepticism.

“Of course,” Seraphina replied, her confidence unwavering.

“I can’t trust you,” Augustus muttered, still uncertain.

Seraphina spoke with calm assurance, her voice steady. “Honestly, getting your son out is simple. All you need to do is buy up the stocks held by the defrauded investors, then have them withdraw their lawsuits. At the same time, hire the best lawyer to appeal your son’s case. With both approaches working together, he’ll be out.”

Augustus fell silent for a moment, and then a low chuckle escaped him. “Do you have that kind of money?”

If he had had one hundred million back then, he thought, his son would never have ended up behind bars. It had always come down to the lack of money.

“If I dared to say this, I’m certain of it,” Seraphina replied without hesitation. “If you’re still not sure, you can ask your son whether I have the money or not.”

Her straightforwardness made Augustus pause, and he finally decided to take the gamble.

Spending one hundred million to secure his secrets was a bold move–but he had no other choice.

“Fine,” Augustus said. “Once you buy up those stocks, I’ll reveal everything–your secrets, your background, all of it.”
