Lysander nearly crushed the phone in his grip. Only after several deep breaths did he regain a
-

semblance of control.

-
-
chair.
-
-
“So, Lysander,” she drawled, “satisfied with how things turned out? I told you I didn’t want you bothering Navier.”
-
-
In that moment, everything clicked. This entire catastrophe was Celeste’s handiwork.

A bitter laugh escaped his throat as he snarled through clenched teeth.
-
-
“Well played, Celeste. I clearly underestimated you. But the Vanderbilt empire won’t going down because of your little games. You think I won’t throw you into a cell and leave you there to rot?”

Celeste’s smile remained soft and gentle–eerily similar to Ophelia’s–but her words cut like ice.
-
-
“You won’t.”

-

“I haven’t broken any laws. I simply revealed the rot that was already inside your organization.”
-
-
“Why not just stay here and fix your business? Why do you keep chasing after Navier? She’s happy
-
-
now.”
-
-
“Your beloved ‘Ophelia‘ is right here by your side forever. What more could you possibly want?”
