She made it as if she had been deep in thought to make a difficult decision. After a brief pause, she lifted her head again.
“Mom, Milo must have his reasons for doing this. I support his decision.”
At that moment. Milo had been watching her the entire time. When Leah looked up for gaze met his
deep unreadable eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat. Still, she forced a smile onto her pale face, trying her best to appear composed. “Let’s go with Milo’s plan.”
Milo let out a long sigh. “Leah, I’m relieved to hear that After everything, it wasn’t in vain that everyone has cared for you so much.”
“Actually, I’d also like to take this opportunity to formally apologize to Charmaine. After all, this whole mess started because of me
You silly child, what does this have to do with you? It’s Bennett who was too arrogant, thinking he was above everyone else!”
Olympia patted her hand to comfort her. “Bennett has already gotten what he deserves. His company is as good as ruined–it’s all his own doing. Don’t think about it anymore.”
Leah, who still didn’t know the full situation, flinched. “What happened to his company?”
Jonah, who had been quiet until now, spoke up. “Bennett’s company has been struggling due to poor management. The financial situation is severe, and most of his key personnel and employees have already resigned. All that’s left is an empty shell. His minor shareholders have sold off their stakes, and the company won’t hold out for much longer.”
Pausing for a moment, Jonah hesitated before adding. My people just received the news–someone bought up all of the scattered shares and held an emergency shareholders‘ meeting today. They voted to remove Bennett from his position… and appointed a janitor to take over the company.”
Milo burst into laughter, utterly delighted. “A janitor? Hahaha! Who came up with such a twisted plan to torment Bennett? That’s brutal!”
Leah’s expression turned utterly grim.
No wonder Bennett had sent those furious messages.
At this moment, he probably hated her to death.
Jonah shook his head. “We haven’t confirmed anything yet, but I’d guess it was the Crosses.”
Olytopia frowned myr? What does this have to do with him?”
Of course, it’s related, Jonah said. “Charmaine is dating Emyr now. Bennett bullied his girlfriend–it’s only natural for Emyr to take revenge.

for us.
“Enough,” Willard’s deep voice interrupted. “We don’t need to keep discussing that family’s business in the future. They’re not worth our time.”
Milo pulled a face. “Fine. Then it’s settled. I’ll book a hotel and arrange a meeting with Charmaine. No matter what she says, we’ll take it.”
His expression darkened. “After all… this was all our fault”
Willard didn’t argue. His silence was tacit approval.
Seeing this, Milo’s brows eased, and a hint of happiness appeared on his face.
Their parents were finally willing to give Charmaine another chance. That was a good sign.
After enduring the rest of dinner. Leah was just about to head upstairs when she noticed Milo answering a phone call. Strangely, he lowered his voice and moved away, as if trying to keep the conversation privatel
A sense of unease gripped her. She followed him without thinking.
At the end of the hallway, Milo leaned lazily against the wall with his phone pressed to his ear. “How’s the investigation going?” he asked.
“You’re sure there’s no record? That’s impossible. Hospitals keep delivery records–how could it just disappeari
“Cut the crap. Keep searching. With all these coincidences piling up, I refuse to believe that the baby swap back then was just an accident.”
Leah gasped and clamped a hand over her mouth to stop any sound from escaping.
Milo is investigating the hospital’s baby swap incident?
Her heart pounded violently.
She turned and fled back to her room, slamming the door shut and locking it behind her.
She rushed into the bathroom and locked that door, enclosing herself in the safest space she could find.
This time, she didn’t even care about the usual fear creeping up her spine.
With trembling fingers, she quickly dialed Bennett’s number.
The moment he picked up. Leah’s voice was low and urgent. “Something’s wrong! Milo is looking into the baby swap incident!”
Bennett, who had been prepared to unleash his fury, suddenly choked on his words. “What did you sav
Leah was on the verge of tears “What do we do? What he finds out the truth? They’ll throw me out!”
Her thoughts raced, spilling out in panic. I had no chce about the shares! You don’t understand- someone anonymously emailed me that night. They had footage from Warchouse Nine and threatened to expose us if I did hand over my shares!
