Chapter 100

Drake reached toward James. “Let me see that.”

James handed over his phone.

Drake clutched the device, watching the birthday video over and over, tears flowing uncontrollably.

Trump’s face darkened with anger. “Looking at you like this makes my blood boil! Pull yourself together!”

Margaret pulled at his arm. “Our son is lying here after trying to kill himself, and you’re making things worse? What do you mean, ‘pull yourself together‘? Wasn’t he the one who secured that investment for your company? Without Drake, your company would have gone bankrupt by now!”

Trump maintained his rigid expression without responding further. He gave Drake one long, penetrating look before turning and walking out.

“Honey, you need to forget about that woman,” Margaret wiped away her tears, her voice breaking. “I’ll introduce you to someone much better.”

James sighed deeply. “Drake, come on man, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Why fixate on just one? I can hook you up with anyone you want.”

Drake stared at the video vacantly, saying nothing.

Mason shook his head helplessly. “Let’s give him some space. He needs time alone.”

These past few days, she had been busy preparing case materials and attending court.

After learning about Drake’s desperate suicide attempt, Thalia no longer felt safe staying at her Tribeca flat.

Asher had purchased a new apartment for her at Pan Peninsula in Canary Wharf, about four miles from her law firm–not too far, making for a convenient commute.

That Saturday, Thalia hired a housekeeper to pack her belongings and called a moving company.
