“How I handle Robert is my business! It has nothing to do with you! Just tell me what to do, or I’ll tell everyone that you were the one who set this up!”

There was a long, heavy silence on the other end of the line before Amara responded.

“Keep your cool. If she approaches you again, deny it or avoid her. I’ll handle the rest. I won’t let her find a single link to me.”

Chloe’s anxiety finally began to settle into a manageable simmer.

“Fine. I understand.”

She hung up and cautiously peeked out of the restroom to ensure the coast was clear. Once satisfied, she bolted, terrified that Jade would be waiting to grill her again.

A few moments after Chloe disappeared, Jade emerged from a different stall, her phone still displaying the active recording interface.

She watched the elevator doors close, then stopped the recording, her mind racing.

She had suspected Amara’s involvement from the start.

But a recording was only one piece of the puzzle; she still needed to identify the person who leaked the photo online.

She was certain that beyond her mother’s lawyer, she hadn’t shared that image with anyone.

So how did the leaker obtain it? And what were the details of Chloe’s “scam” involving Robert?

Every thread needed a solid piece of evidence to pull the whole tapestry apart.

Bzz, bzz-

The phone in her hand began to vibrate.

Jade looked down to see Anthony’s name on the screen.

She answered immediately. “Anthony?”

Anthony got straight to the point.

“I saw the updates online. Do you need some muscle or some expertise?”

Jade didn’t want to involve him, but then she remembered his extensive network from running the family business.

She swallowed her pride and rubbed the bridge of her nose. “Actually, I could use a very specific favor.”

“Tell me,” Anthony said.

“Do you have a contact in cyber-security? Someone who can trace the physical location of a specific social media upload?”

“I have exactly the person you need,” Anthony replied, sensing the gravity of her request.

“Leave it with me. I’ll have the coordinates for you shortly.”

Jade’s eyes lit up with a newfound hope. “Thank you, Anthony!”

After the call, Jade skipped her apartment and drove directly to the Riverside District.

As she arrived at the perimeter, she was shocked to see Amara Hoyt slipping out of a side gate. She wasn’t in a Walter Group vehicle, but a non-descript black sedan.

Amara was acting incredibly suspicious, looking over her shoulder as if she were being hunted.

Jade pressed her lips together and followed her at a discreet distance.

The chase ended at a high-end, exclusive club in the city center.

Amara entered the building; Jade had been here once with Hudson, and the facial recognition system granted her immediate access.

The long hallways were covered in thick, plush carpeting that swallowed the sound of her footsteps.

Jade followed Amara like a shadow, moving silently across the dark red pile.

At the end of the corridor, Amara headed up a service staircase to the second floor, and Jade was right behind her.

Using a heavy fire door as a shield, she peered into the hallway.

Amara was locked in an embrace with a man whose face was hidden. From his powerful build, it was clearly not Hudson Walter.

In the next heartbeat, they began to kiss with a desperate, animalistic hunger, the sound of their intimacy echoing through the hall.

Jade’s pupils dilated in shock, her body turning to stone.

After several seconds, she forced herself to focus, reaching into her bag to retrieve her phone for a photo.

Click-

She had forgotten to disable the flash.

“Who’s there?”

The man’s roar felt like a physical blow.

Panic seized Jade, and she nearly dropped the phone. She gripped it with a white-knuckled strength and turned to run.

Behind her, the man’s voice rose to a murderous shout.
