Chapter 212 Who Was Behind It
Overwhelmed with guilt, Emma found herself struggling to articulate her thoughts.
“What exactly are you here for?” Nathan pressed on
Her anxiety was palpable as she tried to muster an explanation. I just needed to speak with you about something. I–I thought… Her words trailed off, betraying her inner turmoil
Nathan, growing impatient with her hesitation, cut her of “You believed I was in her room!”
Emma fell silent, unable to respond.
Nathan’s laugh was devoid of warmth, his eyes remaining icy as he retorted. “Even if I had been in her room, what concern is it of yours?”
His gaze hardened, making it clear he was serious as he added, “Unless I’m mistaken, our engagement has been formally dissolved.”
Emma stared at him in shock, her mind reeling at his confirmation that he intended to end their engagement.
“What are you saying?” Emily erupted, incensed. “Since when do you have the authority to annul the engagement on your
Nathan’s response was final. “My decisions are not up for debate.”
With that, he turned and retreated to his room, leaving a stunned silence in his wake.
Emma’s face drained of color, her entire frame shaking with the impact of his words.
How did this happen? Why is it turning out completely different from what I had envisioned
She had naively hoped for a sliver of concern from Nathan, only to be met with indifference.
At that moment, it became painfully clear to her that in Nathan’s heart, there was room for no one but Olivia
A torrent of emotions–confusion, jealousy, and betrayal–surged through her.
Tears streaming down her face, Emma fled to her room, the sound of her sobs echoing through the hallway.

Emily’s gaze turned venomous as she looked toward Olivia’s room, vowing to herself to remove Olivia from Nathan’s life by any means necessary.
Back in her own room, Olivia found sleep elusive. The night’s events replayed in her mind, leaving her restless. The peace the longed for seemed further away with each passing moment.
What a duster this might trast
As she tossed and turned, her eyes landed on Liam’s peaceful, sleeping face.

After opening the door. Nathan inquired. What is it?”
Ethan with a hint of apology in his voice, admitted, “I’m sorry, but my search for details about Ms. Olivia’s injury you tasked me with this afternoon came up empty”
Nathan’s response was marked by surprise, a slight crease forming between his brows, clearly not anticipating such a shortfall
from Ethan
“Though I didn’t unearth specific details about Ms. Olivia. I did stumble upon an intriguing piece of news. One of Dark Syndicates base was utterly dismantled today, quite abruptly, I might add. Reports suggest it was the work of merely two individuals, and now, Lionel seems to have vanished off the radar Ethan relayed the information in a thorough manner, ensuring Nathan was fully briefed
“Who was behind it?” Nathan inquired his interest piqued.
“Im not sure. Whoever it was managed to disable Dark Syndicate’s surveillance system during the assault, leaving us without any tangible leads.” Ethan explained
A silence enveloped the room as Nathan processed the information, his gaze distant.
After a moment, he broke the silence, his voice carrying a mix of curiosity and concern. “Do you suppose there’s a connection between this incident and her injury?”
