Closing the report, she tucked the file back in one of her desk drawers. Then, pushing her chair, she stood, taking the phone in her hand.
"I have finished going through those files. You can have them delivered to the respective departments," she instructed her secretary.
Mia nodded briskly.
Arwen glanced at her watch. Seeing that it was past afternoon, she asked, "If there is nothing else for today, I will be leaving."
Mia quickly checked her tablet before speaking again. "There is something that I forgot to report to you, ma’am."
Arwen stared at her, "What is it?" she asked, patiently.
"Officer Davis has tried to reach you earlier," Mia explained. "He said they have secured new evidence regarding your accident. And ... they have taken Ms. Ember into custody."
Arwen’s brows arched faintly. "They have taken Delyth into custody?" she repeated, almost as though she needed to hear it again to believe it.
Mia nodded with certainty. "Yes, ma’am. Officer Davis almost mentioned that as the investigation progresses, they will keep us updated."
Arwen paused for a second. She never expected that with Ryan around, Delyth would ever see a day like this.
But then, she had long stopped expecting anything from what happened in the past.
She nodded, not thinking much about it. "Then let me know when they update you again."
Mia nodded.
"Okay, then, with that, I will be leaving," she said before she grabbed her bag to walk out of the office. Mia followed her.
She had already informed Alfred of her plans, so when she reached down, he was already ready with the car.
"Drive, Alfred," she said she settling comfortably in the passenger seat behind.
And soon after she said, the car drove out of the company’s premises.

Meanwhile, back at Winslow Residence —
Selene sat in her room, clearly in her worst mood. She wanted to wreak havoc, but she simply couldn’t at this place.
Nothing was going according to her. She had thought that as long as she was closer to Aiden, he would start noticing her. But even staying in the same house as him now ... she was barely able to meet him alone.
Not because she didn’t get any chance to, but because he never allowed her to appear in front of him.
And all of these were because of her —because of Arwen.
"Ms. Selene," Carla spoke carefully, her voice laced with clear concern, "please have something. You haven’t eaten properly since last night."
"Don’t repeat the same thing over and over, Carla," Selene snapped, her patience thinning. "I told you I am not in the mood to have anything. Can’t you understand something so simple?"
