Chapter 14: New beginning
Sarah was still basking in the glow of her vindication when she heard a car pull into the driveway. She looked out her bedroom window and saw Mason getting out, dressed in another perfectly tailored suit. Hadn’t he gone to work yet?
Even from a distance, she could see the confident way he carried himself.
A few minutes later, she heard a knock on her door.
"Coming!" she called back, quickly running a brush through her hair and putting on a simple but elegant dress. She wanted to look put-together when she thanked him for clearing her name.

"Good morning," he said, gesturing for her to sit in the chair across from his desk.
"Good morning," Sarah replied, settling into the chair. "Mr. Liu, I wanted to thank you for what you did. Clearing my name, I mean. I know it was you."
Mason’s expression didn’t change. "I told you I would handle it, Mrs. Liu." he replied and Sarah blushed.
"But how did you do it so quickly? The evidence, the investigation—" She hurriedly changed the topic.
"I have resources," he said simply. "When I want something done, it gets done."
