Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 440

"Something strange? What do you mean?"

Charlotte and Anna both froze, their eyes snapping to Julia in surprise. A heavy feeling settled in their chests.

"The setup I put in place is all gone. It has vanished without a trace. I don't know how, but it's too late even if I tried to rework everything now.

"It's as if someone has already found out exactly what I was doing! And the only person I can think of who could pull this off… is Dad. So, there's a good chance I've been exposed."

Julia's expression was grave, her worry palpable as she looked at the other two.

"Exposed? How could that happen? But if Dad knew, why hasn't he shown any signs of it?" Anna asked anxiously.

"That's what makes him so terrifying. He erases everything in silence, pretending he knows nothing, and solving the problem before you even realize what's happening. By the time you notice, it's already checkmate." Charlotte exhaled sharply, her brows furrowing.

It was like an assassin striking in the dead of night—by the time one saw the blade, it was already too late.

"Then, what should we do? We can't just sit around and wait for disaster!" Anna said urgently.

"What else can we do? March up to Dad and confront him? Tell him we know about the woman he's seeing and demand an explanation?

"We have nothing. If we push him now, do you think he won't turn on us? And if he does, if he throws us out with nothing, what will we have left?" Julia shook her head repeatedly, frustration written all over her face.

That was her greatest fear—to end up with nothing and becoming nothing more than a joke.

"Your sister is right. We can't act rashly now. For now, we wait. The real problem is Hayden. I don't know what your father is planning for him.

"When it comes to the media company, there's no way your father can beat Hayden. But in other areas… he still has moves to make." Charlotte's voice was measured as she carefully laid out the reality of their situation.
