From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 220

Aggie heard Harden’s voice and bit her lip, her eyes full of stubborn fire.

“You think I want things to be like this? I’m just trying to survive in this house.”

“Who are you to judge me? Maybe you should worry about yourself for once.”

“You’re just as useless. The second my cousin came back, you got sent down to the first floor. You’ve stuck by Finn for so long, but he still hasn’t bothered to tell anyone who you really are. So what exactly are you proud of?”

Fuming, Aggie stomped up the stairs. She couldn’t stand Harden. He always gave her the creeps, and she could never figure out what he was really after.

As Aggie disappeared upstairs, the mocking smile slid off Harden’s face. He stared coldly at the third floor. He was determined to make Finn acknowledge him. The Gates family would be his, no one else’s. He’d sacrificed too much already. There was no way he was letting it all go to waste.

The moment Finn’s overseas company hit trouble, Baal caught wind of it and wasted no time spreading the news.

Finn stared at the headlines flooding his phone, his chest tightening with anger and dread. He could feel it—someone was out to ruin him.

“Sir, the overseas company’s value is still dropping. Our tech team is trying to patch the security gap, but… the hackers are faster than we are.”

“Finn, the CEO of The Charles Group is on the line. Their overseas branch got hit too. Same problem as us. Their money’s disappearing fast.”

Finn answered the call and braced himself as Pearce’s furious voice blasted through the speaker.

“Finn, what kind of useless firewall did your people build? If you can’t fix this, don’t blame me when I come after you for damages!”

Finn pressed his hand to his chest, swallowing his frustration. He couldn’t afford to fight with Pearce right now.

“Our techs are on it. We’ll fix the issue soon. Someone’s clearly targeting both our companies. Just give us a little more time.”
