Chapter 131

Cyrus' face turned a shade darker, his voice a mix of shock and anger. "What did you just say?" Caleb didn't dare to hide anything. "Ophelia just called me. She said someone tried to assault Hayley. Unable to bear the humiliation, she... she attempted to take her own life. She's in the hospital now, fighting for her life."

Cyrus was livid. He slammed his hand on the table, the sound echoing in the room as he stood up abruptly. "Who? Who's got such a death wish?"

"Go have a little 'chat' with Stein West," Cyrus said, his voice menacing and cold. "He better hope Hayley pulls through, or he's going to regret ever being born."

Caleb nodded swiftly. "Understood."

As his words hung in the air, Cyrus had already grabbed his car keys and stormed out.
