Cullen opened his mouth to add another comment when a shadowy figure suddenly burst from behind a concrete pillar. The attacker clutched a gleaming knife and

charged directly toward Cullen with deadly intent. O

Veronica still had several doses remaining of the herbal remedy Antonio had specially prepared for her treatment. That evening, after wrapping up her responsibilities at Stellar, she made her way back to Dennis Estate through the quiet streets.

Dario replied carefully, “Mr. Dennis, you give us too much credit. Despite his polite words, both he and Veronica had privately agreed to decline any future business proposals from Stellar.

Neither Veronica nor Dario showed any interest in monitoring Niall’s professional situation. Their sole focus remained on completing their remaining tasks and permanently severing their connection with Stellar.

When both men noticed her arrival, Cullen spoke first with careful neutrality. “You have returned.”

During the lunch hour, Malachi approached them with an update about Niall. Her condition had stabilized, and Cullen had already escorted her home to recover from the morning’s incident.

Despite the ongoing complications at Stellar, both Dario and Veronica recognized they could not abandon their obligations at DataPulse. The company demanded their attention, and they had already been away too long.

Before she could complete her sentence, Cullen cut her off abruptly. “Examine this document carefully. If you find the terms acceptable, please sign it.”

Dario gently touched Veronica’s arm, bringing her back to the present moment. “We should leave now.”

She paused momentarily at this unexpected development, then remenbered the conversation about divorce that had been interrupted by recent events. Gathering her resolve, she headed upstairs to address the matter that had been weighing on both their minds.

The following morning brought a flurry of administrative tasks at DataPulse that required immediate attention. After spending the morning addressing these urgent matters, they prepared to return to Stellar for what they hoped would be one of their final afternoons there.

As their conversation continued, the group gradually made their way toward the underground parking garage, their footsteps echoing in the concrete space.

Veronica and Dario had been focused on reaching their vehicle and preparing to leave. The sudden assault caught them completely off guard, and they failed to notice the approaching danger immediately.

The end of the workday would mark the completion of most major tasks at Stellar, which meant their frequent visits to the company would finally come to an end.

When they arrived at the Stellar building, they discovered that Niall and her team were not locked away in their usual marathon meeting sessions. However, Niall had already returned to her demanding work schedule and appeared to be managing multiple urgent projects simultaneously.

Dario responded with deliberate formality, his tone revealing his eagerness to Conclude their business relationship. “Mr. Dennis, your gratitude is unnecessary. We were simply fulfilling our contractual obligations.”

Meanwhile, Veronica’s supply of herbal medicine had dwindled to the final batch. The treatment that Antonio had prescribed was nearly complete.

This prospect filled Dario with visible relief. He turned to Veronica with a determined expression and declared, “Once this is over, I am never setting foot in Stellar again. I refuse to subject myself to this kind of professional torture any longer.”

That evening, when Veronica returned to Dennis Estate, Cullen remained absent. In fact, he did not return home for the following two days, leaving Veronica to wonder about his whereabouts and Niall’s condition.

Cullen did not return home that night.

the very night of the attack, she had quietly slipped away from the manor without informing anyone of her destination.

Veronica acknowledged him with a brief sound of agreement. She had no intention of inquiring about Niall’s current medical condition or recovery progress.

However, several pressing issues awaited their attention back at DataPulse, making it necessary for both Veronica and Dario to return to their own company without delay.

The distance between Veronica and Cullen was too great for her to intervene physically. However, Niall stood much closer to Cullen and reacted with lightning speed. She threw herself forward, shoving Cullen out of the attacker’s path just as the blade descended. The knife buried itself deep in her chest instead of finding its intended target.

Veronica shook herself from her stunned state. “Yes, of course.”

Veronica pressed her lips together, weighing her options before deciding to reach out to him. She dialed his number and waited, but the call went unanswered. With no other choice, she set the matter aside for the time being.

Determined to address their unfinished business without further delay, she got

straight to the heart of the matter. “The other day, I mentioned that we should discuss

When Veronica finally processed what was happening, her eyes widened with terror and she shouted desperately, “Watch out!”

However, she was genuinely surprised to discover that Cullen had returned home during her absence.
