Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 314 Escape

As soon as she left, Emily hailed a taxi.

In the back seat, she gazed through the window as the apartment building receded into the distance. Reflecting on the past few days, realizing all the tenderness had been an illusion, she finally broke down in sobs.

The driver kept glancing at her in the rearview mirror. "Miss, are you okay? Do you need any help?" She simply shook her head. "Please, just ignore me."

She wanted to find her father but had no idea where to look. Eventually, she instructed the driver to take her to the hospital.

In her brother's hospital room, she found Max-the only person Mason had told her he trusted but her father was nowhere to be seen. Max's expression was grave when he saw her. With a sinking feeling, Emily pulled him outside the room and asked him to take her to her father.

After much hesitation, Max finally revealed the truth. "Mr. Glover is dead."

Emily felt as if she'd been struck by lightning. Her mouth opened and closed, but no words came out.

Eventually, she found her voice again. "When did it happen?"

"Yesterday afternoon," Max replied.

Yesterday afternoon-when Faris received that call, he'd glanced at her before stepping onto the balcony to take it privately. Surely that was the news he'd heard.

"How did he die?"

Max lowered his voice, seething with anger. "It was Mr. Hughes. He had him killed. I arrived when Mr. Glover was barely breathing-he told me himself. But we have no evidence, no way to get justice."

Emily swallowed the metallic taste rising in her throat and turned to look at her brother through the window. Through grief and hatred, her eyes reflected in the glass appeared bloodshot.

"Mr. Hughes has informants everywhere," Max continued. "I've heard Faris is his next target."

Emily's heart skipped a beat as she turned back to Max.

"Mr. Hughes believes both your father and Faris were involved in what happened at his birthday celebration," Max said bitterly. "He's ruthless-he'd rather kill the innocent than let someone escape."

Emily remained motionless, but her palm against the glass slowly curled into a fist, the handprint fading away moments later.

Before leaving, Max told her to take care of herself, adding that her brother now had only her.

She stood there for what seemed like an eternity before finally making her way to the doctor's office.
