Chapter 504
But a trip to the family estate confirmed it; his grandfather told him Finnian was, in fact, marrying Liliana. He had rushed straight here to confront him.
“Finnian, have you really made up your mind to marry Liliana p>
Hogan still found it hard to believe, or rather, hard to accept, so he asked again.
“What about Amara? Aren’t you going to pursue her anymore?” he pressed.
Not long ago, Finnian had told him that because Liliana had once saved his life, he had decided to stay by her side.
Hogan had come to terms with the idea that Finnian was giving up the woman he loved to be with Liliana.
But just being with her informally was one thing; getting married was another. The difference was immense, and he couldn’t accept it.
At the mention of Amara, a sharp pain pierced Finnian’s heart, but it manifested as a chilling darkness in his eyes, a look that would frighten anyone.
He stood up and pointed toward the door. “Get out,” he said, his voice low and menacing.
Hogan froze.
Finnian was strict with his younger siblings, but he was never this volatile. He was kicking him out without any real provocation. It was clear just how much weight the name “Amara❞ held for him; simply hearing it was enough to wound him.
Hogan sighed. Knowing Finnian was in a bad state, he didn’t want to argue—and frankly, he didn’t dare to. He left the office.
As he walked out, lost in thought, he passed the secretarial area. A thought struck him, and he pushed open the door, walking over to Will Zade’s desk. “Any news on that man’s suicide p>
Hogan was referring to the drunk driver who had hit him, nearly putting him in a coma.
He had planned to visit the man at the station, but then he heard he had killed himself, so he’d asked Will to look into it.
Will immediately produced a file and handed it to Hogan.
“Mr. Hogan Everly, I was just about to find you to talk about this. The man hanged himself in his cell, but there are a few suspicious points.
First, the belt he used was range p>
No one really uses that kind of beft anymore, especially not in a highly urbanized city like Wye. It’s odd where it came from p>
“Second, someone visited him right before he died. But strangely, the visitor log for that day has vanished, and
the surveillance cameras
happened to be broken it’s all extremely suspicious p>
“He killed himself right after the visit?” Hogan asked.
“Pretty much The visitor came the night before last, and he was found dead the next morning. If several guards hadn’t sworn on their lives that someone definitely came fo visit that night, I’d think it was all a mistake p>
Hogan nodded. The whole thing was riddled with suspicious details. Could the accident have been orchestrated by someone?
“Keep digging. Let me know if you find anything p>
The man’s suicide was important, but Hogan’s main concern right now was Finnian. He left the company building quickly and, after some thought, decided to go find Amara.
Amara had been swamped with the renovation work, especially in these initial stages where she had to coordinate everything to ensure a smooth process later on.
She was at the villa supervising the work, discussing something with the contractor, when she heard someone call out from outside. “Amara, are you in there p>
It was clearly Hogan’s voice. Amara was surprised. How had he found her here?
She excused herself from the contractor, took off her mask and gloves, and went outside. “What is it p>
She hadn’t kept the house purchase a secret from Mr. Kevin Everly, and the Everly family staff had overheard them discussing the renovations, so it wasn’t exactly private.
