Olivia’s patience was almost gone, but she didn’tin. Luckily, after a few more steps, they finally arrived.
Abel dragged his feet behind them, grumbling the whole way while sending nonstop texts to
Tess.
Violet nced at him, then at Olivia walking briskly in front, saying nothing.
Ember Group, CEO’s Office.
“Nadine’s outside. She took them for breakfast,” Raven said after hanging up, her face tight with confusion.
Tess paused with her fingers in midair. At that moment, Prune came back after trying to calm the reporters downstairs.
“Ms. Reagen is here.”
Tessmanded, “Let her in.”
Prune didn’t move. She hesitated to speak. “She brought two people with her. Should I let them in too?”
Tess frowned and looked toward the half–open door. “Let them all in.”
A bubbly voice came first, getting louder as it came closer.
“Mom, you actually came to this dump yourself? This ce doesn’t even look as nice as the storage room at home!”
Tess frowned a little, her expression steady.
The door swung open.
A woman in a sharp ck leather trench coat stepped inside. Even in her forties, she didn’t look tired or worn down. Instead, she carried herself like a polished de–steady, bright, and

dangerous. Standing next to her, Jolie looked even more childish, spoiled, and malicious.
Cyrus followed behind them at an easy pace. Gone was the cold sharp man from yesterday. Now, all his focus rested on his wife.
Jolie held onto Sienna’s arm. When she looked at Tess, she raised her brows in open challenge.
She lifted her chin and dered, “Tess, my mom says she’llpensate you.”
“Oh?”
Tess didn’t move, but her gaze met Sienna’s in the air–one sharp exchange after another.
“Tess Ember, the new president and chairwoman of Ember Group,” Sienna said, her calm face shifting into the tiniest smile.
Tess lowered her eyes. She heard how Sienna purposely stressed the word “group“.
The truth was, Ember Group was already standing on the edge of a cliff. One wrong step and it wouldn’t even count as a realpany anymore, let alone a group.
A warning and an insult.
“If thispany could carry that name, Ms. Reagen wouldn’t show up.”
Tess smiled lightly, unbothered.
Her honest, straightforward tone made Sienna narrow her eyes and start to think highly of her.
“You’re smart, so I’ll be direct too.” Sienna’s voice cooled as her expression hardened. “Jolie is my precious child. She’s everything to me. You had wronged her. As her mother, I’m here to get justice for her. I think you can understand that.”
“I understand.”
Tess nodded once.
A flicker of surprise passed through Sienna’s eyes.
This was going smoother than she expected.
She continued, “We will give youpensation.”
At that, Jolie tightened her grip on Sienna’s sleeve.

After she’d hit Tess with her car, Jolie had fled Crorus right away, only for Steven to drag her straight back to the airport the moment he got off the ne. He even bought twost–minute tickets home on the spot.
Even though her dad bailed her out after the police locked her up, the mess didn’t end there.
She’d been hiding in a hotel for days, resting her injured face, but she still checked the news.
Tess was hit, and they caught the suspect. Those topics kept hitting the headlines.
She scrolled on severalments and almost passed out from anger.
[Tess Ember. Yeah, she’s pretty controversial, but being run over on purpose? That’s attempted murder.]
[Exactly. Attempted murder is a serious offence.]
[I heard the girl who tried to run her over is the Reagens Corperation’s heiress. Super spoiled. But still–human lives matter.]
[Reagen Corporation. Yeah, that’s a deep background. No wonder she’s bold.]

Every singlement roasted her.
Jolie had screenshotted them all and sent them to her mom. By that night, everyment was deleted, and every ount that posted them got wiped out too.
Only then did Jolie rx, just a little. Then, she started pestering Sienna to teach Tess a lesson, which led to the reporters storming Tess’spany today.
A small sh of pride crossed Jolie’s eyes.
“Compensation? Let me hear it.”
Tess tapped on the desk, the crisp sound pulling everyone’s attention back.
Sienna took the contract from her assistant and handed it to her. “Take a look.”
Tess raised a brow and skimmed through it. Without bothering with the details, she flipped straight to thest page and snorted. “So the mighty Reagen Corporation actually intends to lower itself and cooperate with mypany.”
Herugh was soft, but the meaning beneath it was sharp.

Sienna’s brows twitched. Tess’s reaction wasn’t what she expected.
Still, she kept her expression calm. “Of course. Jolie was in the wrong.”
“Mhm…”

Tess rubbed her chin, then lifted her eyes with azy smile. “Then please, Ms. Reagen. Tell me what you want.”
She spread her hands, her tone light and almost bored. “Ember Group’s situation is rough. Anyone who works with us right now is basically doing charity. There’s no way you expect me to believe you’d make such a losing deal just because of your daughter’s mistake.”
