Stella's emotions, which had just calmed down, were shattered once again by the comments online. She cried at home, gasping for breath, unable to even care for her child.
Hyland Riley didn't dare to upset her further, but he was holding back his own frustration.
He knew Martin Riley's temper all too well. This matter wouldn't just blow over. The lack of any response from the other side made him anxious and uneasy.
It felt like the calm before the storm, just waiting for a thunderclap to tear apart all the silence and pretense.
Crystal Foster knew Martin would seek revenge for Otto, so she threw herself into the research of a new drug.
Hyland's new drug hadn't hit the market yet, which meant there was a problem.
Crystal quickly figured out the reason. After all, when Hyland first proposed the idea, she had immediately rejected it.
Hyland's idea was beautiful in theory but didn't consider real-world conditions. Even after her death, he went ahead with it.
