Chapter 387
He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 387
Silas was immediately hauled in by the authorities for interrogation.
The news sent a seismic shock through the public.
No one could fathom that Silas’s thirst for the throne would drive him to slaughter his own father!
When Stella saw the headlines, a violent chill ran down her spine. Her darkest suspicion was confirmed: Silas was the mastermind.
But Edward had supposedly been exiled overseas. Where did he get his hands on that kind of wiretap? Stella’s mind instantly flashed back to her “dream.” Jarrod had been in her apartment. He was alive.
If Jarrod was pulling the strings from the shadows, he had likely handed the smoking gun to Edward. But why was he refusing to show his face?
Before Stella could piece the puzzle together, the news cycle flipped again the very next day. Silas had posted bail. His defense attorney argued that the recording was simply a drunken rant fueled by corporate frustration and that Silas had never actually executed the plan.
Coupled with Edward dropping a mountain of forensic accounting evidence proving Silas’s embezzlement, the board initiated a full internal investigation and immediately suspended Silas.
With executive leadership imploding and scandals dropping daily, Wall Street panicked. The Fuller Group’s stock went into a terrifying freefall, and the corporate headquarters dissolved into absolute chaos.
The following morning, as Stella stepped out of her building to head to work, Sebastian’s car was idling at the curb, ready to act as her chauffeur.
Ever since Silas posted bail, Sebastian had been operating on a hair-trigger. No matter how demanding his own schedule was, he absolutely refused to let her travel alone.
Stella looked at him closely. “I feel like you’ve been incredibly tense lately. Is there something you’re not telling me?”
When the news of the shipwreck first broke, Sebastian had worn the exact same conflicted, haunted expression.
