**Chapter 536**<\/p>\n
At the sound of his words, the glimmer of tears in Helen\u2019s eyes faded like mist under the morning sun. She quickened her pace, determined to keep up with Leon as they exited the office, the weight of the moment hanging heavily between them.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t until they reached the elevator, the metallic doors glinting under the fluorescent lights, that she found the courage to break the silence. Her voice was a mere whisper, laced with trepidation. \u201cMr. Kingston, is there truly no hope left for you and Ms. Hutton?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leon\u2019s face remained an impenetrable mask, his eyes a frigid expanse that offered no comfort. \u201cThe sample was switched, and you didn\u2019t notice anything amiss?\u201d His words were sharp, cutting through the air like a knife.<\/p>\n
Helen felt her stomach knot with anxiety, but she quickly summoned the excuse she had rehearsed in her mind. \u201cI honestly didn\u2019t see anything. There were too many people around that night. I was just trying to get the samples back to the car as fast as I could, so I didn\u2019t focus on the details.\u201d<\/p>\n
As she spoke, her lashes fluttered, betraying her inner turmoil. \u201cDid my oversight worsen the situation between you and Ms. Hutton?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dealings with her are unrelated to you,\u201d he replied, his tone devoid of warmth.<\/p>\n
The elevator doors opened with a soft chime. Leon stepped inside with an air of authority, his posture rigid and composed. Only after she followed did he add, his voice flat and unyielding, \u201cRegarding this mistake, expect a deduction from your quarterly bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n
For someone as strict as Leon, that was a surprisingly lenient consequence, yet it felt like a heavy weight on Helen\u2019s shoulders.<\/p>\n
She understood the implications all too well. Forcing a small, compliant smile, she opened her mouth to express her gratitude, but before she could utter a word, his icy voice sliced through the air once more. \u201cAnd tonight, call Diana. Offer her a sincere apology.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her smile faltered, the warmth draining from her expression as she dug her fingernails into her palms, fighting to maintain her composure.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course,\u201d she replied softly, her voice barely above a whisper. \u201cI will do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, as if trying to regain some semblance of normalcy, she continued with a dutiful tone, \u201cI\u2019ll also rearrange your schedule for tomorrow. If I can free up two hours in the afternoon, that should give you enough time to collect the divorce certificate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho said I\u2019m going to get it?\u201d Leon\u2019s gaze dropped, a sneer curling the corner of his mouth. \u201cWhen you speak to her tonight, inform her that I have a sudden business trip tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the office door clicked shut behind them, James finally turned his attention to his sister, concern etched across his features.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you okay, Diana?\u201d<\/p>\n
To him, she had always been the epitome of calm\u2014unflappable, rarely shaken by the storms of life. Seeing her lost in thought, her brow furrowed, was a departure from her usual demeanor.<\/p>\n
She blinked, shaking herself from her reverie, and her voice returned to its usual steady cadence. \u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
And she was. The truth was, she and Leon had been leading separate lives for years. Making their separation official would bring her a sense of relief. His defense of Helen was hardly surprising; he had always shown a soft spot for that woman, a fact that had long since ceased to bother her.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t matter in the grand scheme of things. Soon, she would be free, and they would be nothing more than distant memories.<\/p>\n
Just as James opened his mouth to offer a comforting word, the door burst open with a jolt. A breathless Raymond rushed in, his eyes wide with urgency. \u201cPenelope isn\u2019t Vee! Why didn\u2019t anyone tell me?\u201d<\/p>\n
He had only just discovered the truth after a hurried call to their grandfather. The moment his shift ended, he had raced straight to the office, his heart pounding with disbelief.<\/p>\n
How could they keep such a monumental secret from him?<\/p>\n
Then the implications hit him like a freight train\u2014if Penelope wasn\u2019t Vee, that meant the real Vee was still out there, possibly lost forever. Or worse.<\/p>\n
Diana shot him a sidelong glance, her brow arched in disbelief. \u201cYou\u2019re never home. When were we supposed to tell you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Raymond rubbed his nose sheepishly, a hint of embarrassment creeping into his demeanor. \u201cI just wanted to be closer to the hospital, that\u2019s all. Saving lives is my duty. If anything serious happened at home, you could have called me. I would have come immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that so?\u201d Diana raised an eyebrow, a teasing glimmer in her eye. \u201cFunny, because your first love just happens to live near that same hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her words struck a chord deep within him, hitting home harder than he anticipated.<\/p>\n
Raymond turned to James, seeking a sympathetic ally, but his brother merely shrugged, his expression clearly conveying, \u201cDon\u2019t look at me. This isn\u2019t my issue.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a resigned sigh, Raymond chose not to drag Tiffany into the conversation. \u201cIt has nothing to do with her. I\u2019m the one who wanted to move there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to justify yourself,\u201d Diana said, her tone softening.<\/p>\n
The tension in the room lingered, but beneath it all, there was an unspoken understanding\u2014a bond that tethered them together, even in the face of chaos.<\/p>\n
In the aftermath of the day\u2019s revelations, a sense of clarity began to dawn on Helen, Diana, and Raymond.
