Trailing behind, Jules let out an exaggerated sigh and rolled his eyes.

As they moved along the corridor, the bold lettering on the walls caught their attention. Each sign they passed made their expressions grow more serious.
They climbed the stairs, their footsteps echoing in the quiet building. At the top, two staff members stood near a closed door, waiting.
Nate leaned closer to Corrine and murmured, "Everything's set. Go on-I'll stay out here." She looked up at him, her eyes filled with unspoken thoughts.
With a soft chuckle, he brushed a hand over her head. His voice was gentle but firm. "Go." At a silent nod from one of the staff, the door swung open. Without hesitation, Corrine and Jules stepped inside.
As they disappeared, Nate slipped one hand into his pocket and turned toward the window. His gaze drifted to Matias. With a casual air, he asked, "Did you get to the bottom of it?" Matias hesitated before answering, “We've confirmed that someone is targeting Mr. Ford, but...” Nate shot him a sideways glance, his voice leaving no room for delay. "Say it." Matias pressed his lips together, took a step closer, and murmured in Nate's ear, "Sir, according to our findings, Mr. Ford isn't the true target. It's Miss Holland—and the Ford family behind her.” Nate's expression darkened in an instant. His gaze turned cold, sharp as a blade as he studied Matias. Without a word, his eyes shifted past him, settling on the closed door ahead.
Inside, the room was even barer than Corrine and Jules had expected. Aside from a simple bed, there was only a table and a single chair. The windows were sealed tight, and the air felt thick, almost stifling.
Jayden sat in the chair, his back facing the entrance. His gaze was fixed on the night beyond the window, lost in thought.
At the sound of approaching footsteps, he didn't turn. His voice remained steady. "I've already told you-I won't confess to something I didn't do. Aska hundred times, and my answer won't change."
Despite his situation, his commanding presence remained conce intact.
When no one responded, a long silence stretched between them. His brows furrowed. Something felt off.
He finally turned-and froze at the sight of Corrine and Jules. The calm vanished from his face in an instant. He shot to his feet, his voice tight with shock. "What are you doing here?" Their presence was the last thing he had expected.
