Did you enjoy yourself?”Charles took a sip of coffee before replying, “Oh, it was lovely, Mom. I went for a walk in the park, enjoyed the fresh air, and admired the beautiful scenery.”“That sounds delightful, dear,” Selena smiled. “And what else did you do?”After a moment of hesitation, Charles grinned mischievously, “Well, I decided to try something different.

Tell me more about your adventure.”Charles leaned back in his chair, recounting his experience at the bar. “I met this

But now, in the comfort of his office with Norah, he felt at ease to discuss the events of the day.“Norah, you should have seen the look on Emma’s face when she saw me in the board meeting,” Charles chuckled, breaking the silence that had lingered between them.“Oh, I can only imagine, Charles. She must have been shocked,” Norah replied with a knowing smile.“I must admit, it was rather pleasing to catch her off guard like that,” Charles said, a mischievous glint in his eye.“It’s quite horrible what they did to you in the past,” Norah empathized. “She probably deserve a little shock of her own.”Charles leaned back in his chair, feeling more relaxed now.

Arnold’s eyes betrayed his sense of guilt, and after a brief pause, he retorted, “Legal or not, it doesn’t change anything. We’re not responsible for the rumors and strings being pulled against you.”Norah, though disappointed by the lack of a clearer admission, pressed on, “Arnold, if it’s not your family, then who else could be behind this? I need to find the truth, for both our sakes you see.”Arnold, seemingly unwilling to provide more information, clenched his jaw. “I don’t know, Norah.

I need to do this alone, please.”The bodyguard, apologetic yet serious, replied, “I understand, but your husband insisted on this, and I have to do my job, ma’am.”Determination across her face, she turned to the bodyguard by her side. “I appreciate that, but I need to talk to Arnold alone. Please wait outside.”The bodyguard, firm in his duty, shook his head. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Griffins. Your husband instructed me to accompany you inside and everywhere, no matter what you say. I can’t deviate from my orders.”Disbelief reflected in Norah’s eyes. “Charles told you to follow me
