Chapter 254

Cian ended the call without another word.
There was no way he could stay in the city now. He needed to disappear for a while, let things cool down before even thinking about coming back.
Miranda stared at her phone, totally thrown off. Her brother, taken away by the police? That couldn’t be real. Maybe her husband saw wrong. Her brother was the precinct chief, for crying out loud. How could he end up in a squad car? They’d literally just spoken.
She started pacing, her nerves getting the best of her. She wanted to call her brother, but her husband’s warning kept echoing in her head. What was she supposed to do now?
Her phone started ringing again. She checked the screen. Sierra.
She let out a frustrated sigh and rejected the call. But before she could even put the phone down, Sierra was calling again.
Left with no choice, Miranda picked up, forcing herself to sound calm. “Sierra, what is it?”
Sierra had tried calling Miranda earlier, but Miranda hadn’t answered or called back. Still uneasy, Sierra decided to try again.
“It’s about that girl
The second Sierra brought up Lydia, Miranda lost her patience. “Sierra, she’s already at the police station. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure she learns her lesson. We’ll get justice for you.”
Sierra sounded surprised. “You really reported her to the police?”
“Of course. She’s just some kid. It was nothing to get her picked up,” Miranda said, not bothering to hide her contempt.
Sierra hesitated. “But, she’s… she’s actually the new president at Greenward Power. Are you sure she’ll just sit there and admit everything?”
Sierra’s biggest worry was that Miranda would drag the girl in, only for things to totally backfire. The last thing she wanted was to get caught up in the mess. Any young girl who could land the top job at Greenward Power had to have some serious connections. Better to just let it go and take the loss in silence. Plus, Louise wasn’t even that badly hurt. This was enough.
Miranda froze, stunned. “What did you just say? She’s the new president of Greenward Power?”
Sierra confirmed it. “Yeah. I went to interview there, and she was the one running the interview.”
For a moment, Miranda was at a total loss.
What was happening?
“But… isn’t Parker the president of Greenward Power?”
“I… I’m not really sure what happened,” Sierra replied.
A heavy, uneasy feeling settled in Miranda’s chest. Sierra called her name a few times, but she didn’t answer. Eventually, Sierra just said goodbye and hung up.
Miranda tried to piece it all together, but nothing made sense.
Parker and Leroy, the chief of the Fifth Precinct, were basically family friends. The Parker family had the Norwoods at their back, and the Norwoods were the richest family in the city. That was why she agreed to have her daughter work at Greenward Power in the first place. Maybe her daughter would meet someone from the Norwood family.
The Norwoods had four sons, all of them top-tier. If her daughter managed to catch
one of their eyes, she could become a real society lady.
She never imagined that on her daughter’s first day applying at Greenward Power, she’d run into shedron rude girl, who, it turned out, was actually the company’s new CEO.
So where was Parker? Had he been moved up to the headquarters?
“Mom, can you stop pacing? You’re making me dizzy.” Louise looked up from her game watching her mom circle the hospital bed like a nervous, wreck. “What did Sierra want?”
Miranda’s anxiety only got worse. If her brother really had been arrested, could it all be connected to that girl?
“Louise, Sierra said the girl who hurt you is the new president at Greenward Power.”
Louise burst out laughing. “No way. Sierra has to be messing with you. If that girl’s the CEO, then I’m the CEO’s wife at Norwood Enterprises.” ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ.net
That girl was even younger than her. Was she running a company like Greenward Power? Not a chance.
