She Took a Night Shift to Pay Her Tuition — Then the City’s Most Powerful Heir Walked Into Her Bar
Chapter 11
Adrian confronted his aunt in the Hartwell boardroom.
Vivian didn’t deny it.
She simply smiled.
“You always were too sentimental.”
“You destroyed my father’s company.”
“I saved it.”
“You stole millions.”
“I moved money.”
“You used Thomas Carter’s credentials.”
She looked toward the window.
“Thomas wanted to expose me.”
“What happened to him?”
Vivian finally turned.
“He refused to understand how power works.”
Adrian’s face hardened.
“Did you kill him?”
“No.”
“But you knew he was in danger.”
Silence.
That was enough.
Daniel entered with security.
Vivian’s smile disappeared.
Then she looked at Adrian.
“You think this ends here?”
She turned toward him.
“I’ll destroy the girl.”
Adrian stepped forward.
“Touch Evelyn, and you won’t have a company left to control.”
Later that evening, Evelyn received a message.
Come alone to the old Carter warehouse.
She knew it was dangerous.
But it mentioned her father.
She went.
Before leaving, she placed a note on Adrian’s desk.
I need to finish this. Trust me.
