hurt because of me, so I should-”

“I’ll have someone look after him,” Jeffrey replied, his eyes lingering on her injured ankle and his brow furrowing. He added pointedly, “Our family’s affairs aren’t something you need to concern yourself with, Ms. Jensen.”

With that, he left the hotel alongside Stanley. Rebecca stood there for a long moment, a heavy weight settling in her chest.

“There’s nothing else to do here. You should go check on Mr. Stephen Hanson’s condition on behalf of PrimePlay Technologies,” Jason said, keeping his tone neutral with others around.

He added, “Let me know if there’s any change. I’ll join you once I’ve wrapped things up here.” Rebecca nodded.

Jason had his secretary take her over. As she left, the crowd, shaken by the earlier incident, began to buzz with speculation about how the situation would be resolved.

“Get the hotel manager over here,” Jason ordered immediately. “We need to figure out what caused this accident.”

As Rebecca stepped outside just as Jeffrey and Stanley’s car was leaving, she wasted no time having Jason’s secretary tail them.

Stanley spotted her in the rearview mirror and said to Jeffrey, “I think that’s Rebecca behind us.”

Jeffrey’s expression grew even colder. ‘Why does she keep getting more rebellious?‘ he thought in annoyance.

“If something happens to Stephen this time, your parents are definitely going to go after Rebecca.” Stanley blurted out, totally thrown by the dramatic turn. “Seriously, how does a perfectly good chandelier just drop out of nowhere like that?”

Jeffrey’s gaze was chillingly calm. “Someone did it on purpose.”

Stanley blinked in confusion. “Did he just say it was deliberate? What do you mean?”

Jeffrey answered, “I’ve already told Gregory to start digging into it.” He’d messaged Gregory the second that the chandelier had crashed down on Stephen.

There was no way that was just some random accident. “We’ll have answers once he finishes checking everything out,” Jeffrey said.
