Chapter 435 A Line Crossed


    Finished


    ine stared at the pile of evidence in front of her, then scoffed. “So what? Nn wouldn’t really go after me, would he?”


    She was, after all, someone Nn had grown up with. Even if he no longer cared about their childhood bond, she was still the daughter of the Lynn family – and now Tyson’s fiancée. Surely Nn wouldn’t dare touch her out of respect for Tyson’s status.


    “This is a formal legal notice.”


    The assistant didn’t argue further. He simply handed her the letter.


    ine’s expression darkened the moment her eyes fell on the document.


    So Nn was serious. He was really cutting ties with her.


    “Take your damn letter back! I want to speak to Nn myself!”


    One of the team members stepped forward and replied, “I’m sorry, Ms. ine. Mr. Hayes gave specific instructions – he doesn’t have time to see you. If he intended to, we wouldn’t be here in his ce.”


    “You-”


    Before ine could erupt again, a familiar voice echoed from the hallway.


    “You’ve all gotten awfully bold, haven’t you? Do you know who Ms. ine is? How dare you show such disrespect in front of her?”


    Startled, ine turned and saw Tyson standing at the door.


    “Mr. Hayes,” the assistants muttered awkwardly, exchanging uneasy nces.


    Tyson was Nn’s uncle and a major figure in the Hayes family. They didn’t dare overstep.


    “Give me the letter,” Tyson said calmly.


    His assistant, Julio, stepped forward and took it from the stunned legal reps.


    “Julio, see them out.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    Julio turned to the group. “This way, please.”


    The team dared not defy Tyson’s authority and promptly withdrew.


    Once they were gone, Tyson approached ine. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle this for you.”


    “Thank you… Mr. Hayes.”


    ine hadn’t seen Tyson since theirst encounter. Now, with him personally stepping in to help, her embarrassment melted into something gentler. She bit her lip and hesitated. “I… I shouldn’t trouble you with this. You’ve already helped me so much.”


    “I’m helping you because I want to,” Tyson replied, gazing at her with warm, unwavering eyes.

    ine flushed beneath his stare.


    Tyson was a stunning man–just as attractive as Nn, maybe even more so with that added air of maturity and steadiness.

    “You know how I feel, Mr. Hayes… I love Nn. I just can’t bear to see him and Eliza go public. If that really happens, then 1…”


    “You’ve already told me what you want,” Tyson said gently, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “And <b>I </b>told you – I’ll help you get it.”


    ine lowered her head, caught between embarrassment and something harder to define.


    But Tyson didn’t press. He simply stepped back and said, “I only came to check on you. I’ve got work to handle.”


    Then he turned and left, the hotel door clicking shut behind him.


    ine stood there, staring in stunned silence.


    He helped her,forted her… and left?


    Meanwhile, in the car, Julio asked, “Sir, you could’ve made a move back there. Why walk away?”


    Tyson raised an eyebrow. “You think I’m desperate?”


    “I didn’t mean-


    “A woman like her doesn’t respond to pressure. She thinks she loves Nn – but she’s chasing a ghost. Give her a better man, one who loves and protects her, and she’lle willingly. Then she’s mine. On my terms.”


    Julio nodded slowly. “I see. Still, Mr. Nn’s not pulling punches anymore. Thatwsuit is real.”


    “I know,” Tyson said. “It’s time we stopped pretending this isn’t war.”
