Chapter 111: The Investigation Was Concluded

"She won’t," Alexander said firmly. "Rain made it clear—once she finds out who impersonated her, she’ll take legal action. I can forgive my brother, but Rain... I doubt she will. Whatever she decides, I’ll stand by her."

Hearing this, Sanya panicked. She tried to leave quietly, hoping no one would notice her. But after only a few steps, she froze as Rain’s voice called out, "Sanya? Did you find it? Why are you over there? The restroom’s in the other direction."

Caught off guard, Sanya forced an awkward smile and joked, "This house is so big, I got lost."

Rain chuckled softly, looping her arm through Sanya’s. "Come on, I’ll show you the way."

As they walked, Rain glanced at her friend, her expression shifting to concern. "Are you feeling alright? You look pale."

"I’m fine..." Sanya muttered, avoiding eye contact. She slipped into the restroom, but her anxiety surged. ’What am I going to do now?’ she thought, her body feeling so weak she could barely stand.

Outside, Rain leaned against the wall, waiting. Her worry deepened as Sanya took longer than usual. When the door finally opened, Rain turned and gasped. "You’re still not feeling well, are you?" she asked, eyes wide. "You look like you’ve seen a ghost."

Rain approached her friend, touching her forehead. "Your temperature seems normal, but you still look pale. Are you sure you’re okay?"

"Oh, it’s nothing, really. Probably just my stomach acting up again," Sanya answered awkwardly.

Rain narrowed her eyes, unconvinced. "No. Something’s going on with you. I can feel it."

Sanya forced a reassuring smile, trying to deflect. "I’m really fine, Rain. Let’s just head back."

"How about we go to my room first? I need to talk to you," Rain suggested, sensing Sanya was avoiding something. Without waiting for an answer, she gently led Sanya upstairs and into her bedroom.

"Do you want any medicine?" Rain asked, still eyeing her friend with concern. Sanya shook her head and glanced around the room, avoiding the subject.

"Sanya, don’t you have something you want to say?" Rain pressed. "I’ve known you for years, and I can tell when something’s wrong. What’s going on?"

Sanya gulped and stammered, "There’s really nothing to worry about. I’m perfectly fine."

Rain clenched her jaw, frustration building. She had been waiting, giving Sanya the chance to open up on her own, but her patience was wearing thin. "Are you sure? Because it really seems like something is bothering you."

Sanya just smiled faintly. "Honestly, Rain, it’s nothing. My stomach is just acting up, that’s all."

Rain bit her inner cheek, the hurt slowly settling in. She could feel Sanya pulling away, and it was starting to break her heart.

She decided not to push the subject any further nor confront her about the issue she wanted Sanya to open up to her on her own. With a cold tone, she said, "Fine, let’s just head back outside."

Without waiting for Sanya and walked out of the room. She didn’t look back as she descended the stairs with her emotions tightly controlled. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Rain headed straight to the balcony where her father-in-law, Rock, and Clifford were still chatting.

As she stepped outside, the cool air greeted her, but it did little to soothe the ache in her chest. She approached them quietly, trying to shake off the frustration lingering inside of her.

’You had plenty of chances, but still, you chose not to be honest with me,’ Rain thought disheartenedly as she watched Sanya approach to join them.

Trust had always been the foundation of their friendship, but Sanya had broken it. Rain could feel the fracture deepening between them, and it stung more than she cared to admit. She had hoped Sanya would confide in her, but the silence spoke volumes. Now, Rain was left wondering if their bond could ever truly be repaired.

Despite her best efforts to keep her emotions in check, the disappointment was undeniable.

Meanwhile, back at the bar where Tyron and Alexander were talking, Tyron suddenly received a call. His expression darkened as he listened. Once the call ended, he immediately relayed the information to Alexander. "The report’s out. Rain’s impostor... it was Sanya."

"What?!" Alexander exploded, his voice echoing in disbelief.

"Sanya Reed," Tyron confirmed. "The same Sanya who’s here right now. And you’re right—the Chairman already knows. GIS sent the report to him this morning before our contact could retrieve it, but another person gained access as soon as the investigation was concluded."

Alexander frowned. "Who?"

"The Chief of the Special Operations Division at GIS and Deputy Chief Detective of the Special Crime Unit of Meta Police, Brandon Russo," Tyron replied.

Alexander sighed, leaning back in his chair. "I guess Rain found out first, then," he muttered, his jaw clenched.

Tyron hesitated before asking, "What do you want me to do next?"

"Nothing. I’ll let Rain handle it however she sees fit," Alexander responded.

Then Alexander’s face suddenly darkened, his voice low and firm as he grunted, "Now, focus on bringing down Paul Smith. I want that man in jail, no matter what. I don’t care how much money we need to spend, just make sure he’s put behind bars. Find more dirt on him, aside from the attempt on Rain. I want all his crimes exposed in one strike."

Tyron nodded, understanding the gravity of the task. "I understand... a total KO, then," he hummed, already mentally preparing for the aggressive approach.

"Also," Alexander continued abruptly, "clear my schedule for tomorrow."

Tyron’s jaw dropped. "Tomorrow? But that’s Monday, sir!" He reminded Alexander, knowing full well that Mondays were notoriously packed for the CEO, a nightmare for everyone working under him.

Alexander frowned, his eyes narrowing at Tyron. "You heard me. Since when did you become deaf?"

Tyron scratched his head, trying to comprehend the sudden change. "But... why?" he asked, still baffled.

"Rain and I are visiting her aunt," Alexander explained, his tone softening slightly. "I’m giving her the whole day, and she can only do that if I’m with her." His face contorted momentarily as he recalled the annoying presence of Rain’s father and half-sister, clearly not looking forward to dealing with them.

Tyron sighed in resignation. "Alright, I’ll clear it," he muttered under his breath. Then, a sly grin spread across his face as he mumbled, "They’ll think the boss is sick..."

Alexander shot him a sharp glance. "What was that?"

Tyron straightened up immediately, suppressing his smirk. "Nothing, sir. Just preparing myself for the inevitable chaos tomorrow."

Alexander rolled his eyes, "Just make sure everything runs smoothly while I’m gone."

Tyron chuckled softly. "Don’t worry, sir. I’ll handle the Monday madness... as always."
