Chapter 208: Davis, you are dead...
By the time they returned to the hotel, the day had almost ended. The sun had dipped low, casting long shadows across the parking lot.
The day had drained every drop of strength from their bodies. None of them said a word—the silence spoke volumes.
The emotional weight from what they had seen hung over them like a thick cloud. The ruined building, once a symbol of pride and hard work, now stood as a hollow reminder of what was lost.
For Davis and Ethan, it was more than a destroyed building. It was years of blood, sweat, and sacrifice—burned to ashes by envy and betrayal. Their hearts ached in ways words could not explain. The shock had yet to wear off.
No one had expected such devastation.
Jessica, on the other hand was stunned, she had never witnessed anything like it. In her world and imagination, companies were supposed to bring profit and growth — not end in ruins like this, not scenes of destruction.
Her mind ran wild with thoughts, questions poured in. Who would do this? Why? What did they hope to gain from such destruction? How could something built with so much effort fall so quickly? She continuously tried to make sense of it.
The more she thought, the more confused she became. No answer came. Everything felt too far away, like trying to hold onto smoke
As the driver parked the car at the hotel entrance, Ethan and Jessica worked together to help Davis back to his room though he walks around in the house in slow steps, he still uses help outside the house.
The driver, a local, was offered a separate room nearby so he could be called upon easily if needed.
Once Davis settled on the couch, Ethan sighed, gave him curt nod and quietly slipped out. He needed rest, even if it was brief. His phone hadn’t stopped ringing, and he couldn’t ignore the calls forever.
