Meanwhile, in the hospital ward, Mila stayed by Jace's bedside as he lay unconscious.

At the same time, she turned on her phone. Like countless others, she was watching the shocking turn of events unfolding at the Salvador Corporation's press conference.

When she saw Justin caught in a whirlwind of public opinion and her long-absent nephew appearing to present one piece of evidence after another to turn the tide, she felt a mix of emotions. Pride and relief filled her heart, yet beneath it all, a faint worry lingered.

Even if Arnold and Asher never spoke about it, everyone in the family could see it clearly- they had broken up.

Arnold had vanished without a word and traveled to Meridan. During that time, he had only made a single call to assure her of his safety, speaking briefly before hurriedly hanging up.

Since then, Asher has rarely been home. Every time he appeared, his handsome face looked haggard. His once-bright eyes had dulled, shrouded in a perpetual gray haze of sorrow that refused to fade.

Mila felt immense heartache for both of them, but she had no idea what had happened between them.

Now, Arnold had returned to clear Justin's name, and he and Asher had a chance to meet again. Mila sincerely hoped that this opportunity would allow them to reconcile.
