Chapter 559:
“Contact Lyman and ask when he plans to return. I need to speak with him,” she said.
“Mr. Vasquez p>
“Now,” Kailey cut in. Cold authority sharpened her tone while her eyes burned. “Tell him to come back at once. I’m seeing him tonight p>
The resolve etched across her face convinced the guard, and he stepped outside to place the call.

Barely twenty minutes passed before Lyman entered. “What happened p>
“I’m going back to work p>
A crease formed between his brows. His stare waited for a reasonable explanation.
Red veins webbed through Kailey’s eyes when she met his gaze, yet her will held firm. “Lyman, you are letting me go to work. If you refuse, I will involve the police — so test me if you want p>
In the past, such a threat would have been meaningless.
To her surprise, this time he acquiesced.
Morning light followed as the guards escorted her to the company building. Only two bodyguards remained with her instead of the four from before.
Shock rippled through the employees the moment she stepped inside. “You were supposed to be on long leave. Why did you come back p>
A light laugh slipped from Kailey. “I felt restless all of a sudden, and work seemed like the cure p>
They glanced at the bodyguards behind her.
“Pay them no attention. They’re simply extra security,” she explained.
No one truly believed it, yet her coworkers showed tact. Polite smiles greeted the bodyguards, and someone even offered them coffee in the lounge. Feigning indifference, Kailey cast a brief glance their way and continued straight into her office.
News of her arrival spread fast and pulled Zaria in like a gust of wind. “Seriously, you are impossible to track down! Why come back without warning anyone p>
Without answering, Kailey powered on her computer and scanned the stack of updates she had missed.
Concern creased Zaria’s brow before she shut the office door behind her. “Tell me what’s happening between you and Mr. Blake. Today’s headlines hit like a disaster. I called a few contacts, and Blake Group’s PR team still hasn’t released a statement. Are they really just letting the rumors run wild p>
Unlike everyone else, Zaria had witnessed the entire arc of Kailey and Kyson’s relationship. She couldn’t bring herself to believe Kyson would cheat.
Nothing stirred across Kailey’s face when she answered, “Everything is exactly how it looks. There’s nothing left to explain p>
Shock froze Zaria in place before the meaning fully settled. After a stunned pause, she finally found her voice. “You cannot be serious. Are you telling me Mr. Blake betrayed you p>
Kailey didn’t know whether Kyson had cheated on her. Her mind was solely focused on work — it felt like the only thing left she could control.
“Drop the subject.” She rotated her laptop toward Zaria. “Explain what happened to this first p>
The entire design blueprint had been rewritten, and the finished draft no longer carried any trace of her style.
