I remember him saying, “Yes, I do want you back, Cassie. I want to try again. I want to do our marriage.r again. And this time, I promise you, I won’t f*ck up anymore.
And now, he’s marrying Megan?
I click on the volume of the Reels that Megan posted.
“Yes, Kayden. I love you, too, And I will always choose you. I’m going to spend the rest of my life with love you.”

Or was he trying to get back at me for taking over King’s Court? Is this his ploy to distract me and real King’s Court from right under my nose?
Well, he’s

“Cassie, Ethan calls me from the doorway, interrupting my thoughts. “The police are here. Are y now? I can tell them toe backter”
“No. I’m ready,” I say.
I make my way to the lounge of Amber’s bar and am greeted by police officer.
“I am sorry to bother you,” he says. “We’d like to ask you a few questions.”
“Go ahead.”
“Do you recognize the man who attacked you?”

“I don’t know him. But I’ve seen him before,” I reply. “Maybe seven years ago. He was the supervisor at a part time job I went to. He said his name is Glenn. But I’m not sure it’s his real name.
“It could be possible. What happened seven years ago?”
I purse my lips. I hesitate if I’m going to drag Kayden’s name into this.
“I was drugged and woke up in a hotel room.”
“Did something happen to you? I mean, were you assaulted?”

I shake my head. “No. Iwas. I was just dizzy. No-nothing happened to me. So I didn’t report to the police. No blood, no foul, I thought.”
“And then did you see him again after that?”
I nod. “In the hospital. I saw him injecting something in my IV. 1 tlined.”
“Can you think of any other motive he might have to do this to you?”
Yes! It has something to do with Kayden again. But I shake my head. “I am not sure.
“Do you think it is random?” Ethan asks the police officer.
“That’s a possibility,” the police officer replies. “Although, it’s also possible that someone asked this pack Miss Carlisle. He could be a hired gun.” The police officer turns to me “Is there anything else that you can with us that might be of use to this case?”
I shake my head. “But I can get in touch with you in case I remember anything.”
The police officers leave and I sit with Ethan in the lobby.
He reaches out for my hand.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.

“Ethan!” I interrupt him. “Shut up. You didn’t do anything wrong. That guy would have gotten the sayway I was just confused as to how he was able to spike my drink. He offered me a drink, but I didn’t drink it
It’s like a light bulb lights in Ethan’s brain. He stands up and approaches Amber.
“Can we look at the videos of the bar?”
“Why? I thought the police already looked at those and found nothing.” Amber crosses her arms we’re overstaying our wee already.
“Amber,” I say in a calmer tone. “I know that we’ve disrupted your operations here somehow. But look at your CCTV one more time, we’ll be happy.”
Amber’s face flushes with anger. She uncrosses her arms and takes a step back, her eyes shing wit
“You’ve already looked at the CCTV once. Tell me, what else do you want to see?”

“The thing is, I was drugged. That could only be from the cocktail I drank. But I don’t remember drinking the cocktail that the suspect gave me.”
“Are you seriously implying that my employees had something to do with this?” Amber’s voice is sharp, her tone cutting through the air like a de. “I carefully vetted every single one of them, and I haveplete trust in my security. You question them, you question my integrity.” Then she turns to Ethan. “And you. Don’t you think this is a bit too much? Asking me to do this for…. this girl that you dumped me for? You’re adding too much insult to the injury.”
Ethan steps back slightly, taken aback by the sudden change in Amber’s demeanor. “I’m sorry, Amber. I thought you were cool with it.”
“I thought I’d be cool about it, too. Turns out, I’m only human. Now, if there’s nothing else, I’d like to have a rest now.”

Ethan nods. Then he takes my hand and leads me towards the exit.
“Thank you anyway,” I tell Amber quietly.
“I’m sorry about that,” Ethan tells me as soon as we get into the cur

“It’s not your fault.” I shake my head. “I’m the one who dragged you all into this. It seems that a month all I had to worry about is finding a donor for Kai.”
“I know,” Ethan sighs. I can hear the frustration in his voice. “Do you think it’s because you inherited yo business?”
‘Or it could be because of Kayden,’ I thought.

“I don’t think so. I don’t think any of my new-found rtives are capable of running the business. All th are about are receiving their share in the profits of thepany. They actually need me…. and they need me to be brilit, and healthy.”
“Well, I need you to be safe.” Ethan argues. “I think we should go back to New York. You’ll be safer there. And en will Kai”
I nod. “I think you’re right. I’ll have Lyn’s recement to book our flights back to New York.”
My phone rings. It’s Attorney Magnus. “Hello.”
“Ca*sic, I have some important news for you,” Attorney Magnus says. I can sense the gravity of his t continues. My heart races as I hold my breath,/waiting for his next words.
What is it, Attorney Magnus?” I manage to ask, my voice barely above a whisper.

“I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Cassie. But we’ve just received news that the site for King’s Legend has full structural integrity tests. It’s sinking and deemed unviable for any construction project.”
“What do you mean by that, Attorney?”
“It means that your grandfather has been duped into buying and worth millions, and nothing
“Son of gun!” My heart sinks as the weight of his words hits me like a ton of bricks. “But I just ac challenge. I was going to use King’s Legend to gain the trust of the board members.”
“I’m really sorry, child. This is a huge blunder. If your grandfather was still alive, the Board would m his resignation. But since it’s not your fault, they will give you a chance to redeem your family’s reputation.
“How will I do that?”

“The Board asks that you find a new site soon, or Attorney Magnus sighs. “You step down as the Head of King’s Court.”
“Okay, I can do that.”
“But there’s more.”
“What?”
“Whatever site you propose, the Board requires Mister Steele’s endorsement of the site.”
“What does that mean?”
