He was greeted by Clara, who was already engrossed in paperwork.“How’s it going?” Philip asked, rubbing his eyes. The lack of sleep was beginning to catch up with him.Clara looked up, her expression focused. “We’re still sorting through the evidence and interviewing the suspects. Rourke is proving to be a tough nut. He’s not giving us much, but we’re hopeful that the evidence will speak for itself.”Philip nodded, acknowledging the enormity of the task ahead. “I want to review everything we collected last night. Make sure we haven’t missed anything.”Clara handed him a stack of files, her eyes reflecting her own fatigue. “Here’s the preliminary report on the evidence. We have several key documents and a f

As she approached her front door, she was startled to find her father, Andrew Lane, waiting for her on the porch. His stern expression and imposing stance made it clear that he wasn’t there for a casual visit.“Jessica,” Andrew said, his voice carrying a note of authority. “We need to talk.”Jessica’s heart raced as she fumbled with her keys, trying to unlock the door. “Dad, I didn’t expect to see you here. I’m really tired. Can we talk later?”Andrew’s eyes narrowed, and he stepped closer. “No, Jessica. We’re talking now. I want to know what you discussed at the Aton Empire office.”Jessica’s hand trembled slightly as she turned the key in the lock and pushed open the door. “It’s nothing to worry about. I just went there to apologize to Philip.”Andrew followed her inside, his gaze never leaving her. “I don’t be

The encounter had left her on edge, and she couldn’t help but replay his words over and over in her mind.

The next morning, Jessica woke up with a knot in her stomach. The sun had barely risen, casting a pale light across her bedroom, but she knew today was going to be difficult. Her thoughts kept drifting to the message she had sent Philip the night before. She was nervous about their meeting, unsure of how it would go or what would come out of it.She got ready slowly, taking extra care with her appearance. She wasn’t sure why, but she felt the need to present herself well, as if that might help her gain some control over the situation. By the time she was dressed and ready, she still had a few hours before their scheduled meeting. The waiting was unbearable.To distract herself, Jessica decided to take a walk.

PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 43
Jessica stood frozen, her hand still on the doorknob as she stared at her father. Andrew Lane's presence in her apartment was unsettling. He rarely visited her personal space unless it was for something serious, and the stern look on his face told her this was no exception.“Father,” Jessica greeted him cautiously, trying to keep her voice steady.“Sit down, Jessica,” Andrew ordered, his tone leaving no room for argument. Jessica complied, moving to the chair opposite him, her heart racing. Andrew leaned back in his seat, his piercing eyes never leaving hers. “What were you doing at Aton Empire today?” he asked, his voice deceptively calm.Jessica hesitated, her mind racing. She had anticipated this conversation, but she hadn’t fully prepared for it. “I went to pay my respects to Philip. His grandfather just passed away.”Andrew’s eyes narrowed. “Is that all it was? A condolence visit?”“Yes,” Jessica lied, trying to sound convincing. “That’s all.”A silence fell between them, thick
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 44
Jessica woke up the next morning feeling drained. The weight of her father’s words hung heavy on her shoulders, and the tension between her loyalty to him and her growing feelings for Philip was starting to take its toll. She knew she had to go back to Aton Empire, but every step felt like she was walking into a trap—one that she couldn’t escape.As she dressed for the day, her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. Andrew’s reminder that he was always watching played on repeat in her head, making her second-guess every move. She knew she had to keep her guard up, but the idea of betraying Philip—of using him—felt increasingly wrong.When she arrived at Aton Empire, the atmosphere was noticeably tense. The news of Barry Aton’s death had spread, and the employees were on edge, uncertain of the company’s future. Jessica felt their eyes on her as she made her way through the building, whispers following her down the halls. She kept her head high, though inside she was struggling to maintain h
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 45
Jessica sat in her car outside Aton Empire, her hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles turned white. The conversation with her father replayed in her mind, his words echoing in her ears like a relentless drumbeat. "You’re a Lane. And Lanes always come out on top." But what did that even mean anymore? The more she thought about it, the more trapped she felt.She knew she had to go home, but the idea of facing her father again made her stomach churn. Instead, she pulled out her phone and stared at the screen, her finger hovering over Philip’s contact. Part of her wanted to reach out, to hear his voice and maybe, just maybe, find some comfort in it. But what would she say? That she was being torn apart inside, that she was beginning to care about him in a way that scared her? No. That would only complicate things further.With a frustrated sigh, Jessica shoved her phone back into her purse and started the car. The drive home was a blur of thoughts and emotions. Sh
