Chapter 907

    ?Chapter 907:


    Cole’s piercing gaze never left her, watching every flicker of her expression. Once the ring was secured, his lips curved faintly, and he asked, “That ring looks far too valuable. Tell me—was it a gift from your ex?”


    Elliana cast a brief nce at Cole before speaking inly. “Yes. It was a gift from my ex-boyfriend.”<fnbcf1> Updates are released by find?novel</fnbcf1>


    Before, Cole had adored her beyond reason, willing to hand her the world if she asked. Now, standing here, Cole burned with jealousy—not at another rival, but at his past self who had once loved her so unreservedly. The irony of it all drew a faint, amused curl to Elliana’s lips.


    Cole’s expression darkened like a brewing storm. Without another word, he rolled up the car window, mmed his foot on the elerator, and spun the car away with reckless speed.


    This time, Elliana didn’t rush to leave. She remained where she was, her eyes fixed on the direction he drove off in, lingering long after his car had vanished from view. A small, stubborn part of her wondered if he might turn around again. But he didn’t.


    Minutes bled into more, and still, the road stayed empty.


    Atst, Elliana drew in a steady breath, turned on her heel, and walked toward Rosewood Vi.


    Meanwhile, Cole’s grip tightened on the steering wheel as he drove under the shadowed canopy, his jaw set in grim fury.


    That ring had told him everything he needed to know. Elliana’s ex-boyfriend was none other than Harry Calderon—the man he had trusted as his second-inmand in ze Wildfire.


    Paulina’s previous report resurfaced in Cole’s mind—Harry had been entrusted with sensitive operations. For that reason alone, he had been permitted temporary use of the ring thatmanded all of ze Wildfire.


    Yet, instead of treating it as the sacred emblem of authority it was, Harry had let infatuation steer his judgment, daring to use the ring to win over a woman—and worse, he hadn’t even bothered to reim it when their rtionship ended.

    To Cole, that single actid everything bare. In Harry’s eyes, the weight of ze Wildfire mattered less than the fleeting affection of a woman. Harry was no longer worthy of being second-inmand.


    Cole’s expression hardened, his decision absolute. Harry would be stripped of his post and sent to Sundara, where the harshest, most punishing assignments awaited him.


    Harry hesitated and then asked carefully, “You’re in Sundara too, then?”


    Myles let out a dryugh. “Yes. Aron is here as well, along with Mr. Evans’ driver.”


    The thought simmered, and Cole’s eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint as he reached for his phone. When the line clicked open, his voice came low and tight with anger. “Tell Harry to pack up immediately. He’s being reassigned to Sundara.”


    On the other end, Paulina froze, baffled by the sudden order. Harry had always been loyal, diligent, the perfect second-inmand. Why the sudden reassignment? And why was Cole’s tone so venomous?


    “Mr. Evans, did Harry make a mistake?” Paulina asked carefully.


    Cole’s grip tightened on the phone. There was no way he could admit the truth—that his fury came from discovering Harry was Lh’s ex-boyfriend. Instead, his tone went icy. “Don’t ask questions. Just carry it out.” Without waiting for a reply, he cut the call.


    Paulina blinked at the dead line, unsettled, but quickly steadied herself. Orders were orders. She quickly called Harry and told him to head to Sundara right away.
