NovelApexChapter 1381:
Comprehension dawned, and Linda stammered, “Nyla, you... you looked into the accounts?” Why would she do
that?
A cold chuckle escaped Nyla’s lips. “Do | need a justification to review my own family’s finances? I'm asking the
questions here, Linda. Now answer me!”
The color drained from Linda’s face as she gave a weak shake of her head. “That's not what | meant...”
“Whatever.” Nyla’s hand cut through the air, firm and final. She was in no mood for deflections—her body might
have been frail, but her tolerance for pretense had vanished entirely. Her gaze locked onto Linda, steely and
unrelenting. “Answer the question | asked. Now.”
Linda faltered, her teeth catching her lower lip. Did she truly need to say it aloud? Everyone in the room already
knew—she’d overseen the Flynn family’s finances for years. She just never imagined those dusty ledgers would
cback to haunt her.
Nyla leaned forward slightly, her voice cooling to a bitter edge. “What's the hesitation? It's a simple yes or no.
Why is that so difficult?”
Before Linda could respond, a knock sounded at the door. The glass doors offered a clear view, and when she
glanced up, Elissa spotted Eric on the other side.

you can both speak face-to-face. | want the truth about this account—and | want it today.”
The glass door slid open with a soft hiss, and Eric stepped onto the terrace, his footsteps measured. As he
passed Linda, a flicker of confusion crossed his face, but he said nothing. He stopped in front of Nyla, gave a
polite bow, and smiled warmly.
“Grandma, how are you feeling?” He gestured toward his left arm, which rested in a sling. “I got injured recently
—that’s why | haven't visited. You're not mad at me, are you?”
In truth, he had stayed away deliberately. Hadley had cby a few days earlier, but Eric had worried that his
presence might upset Nyla further, so he kept his distance.
But now, seeing him speak to her just as he always had, without tension or guilt, stirred something in Nyla’s
chest. The warmth in his tone chipped away at her lingering doubts. She softened.
“I'm much better now. And with your hand like that, you should be resting—I couldn't possibly blyou.”

Then, upon turning her attention once more to Linda, her voice regained its edge. “I asked both of you here
because | have a question—one | expect a clear answer to.”
Linda’s shoulders tensed. Her face had grown noticeably pale, her expression stiff with dread.
“What is it?” Eric asked, brows knitting with concern. “Grandma, go ahead.”
“Very well.” Nyla was composed, her every movement deliberate. She reached for a stack of printed documents
on the small table beside her and laid them neatly before them.
Her voice was even—almost too calm. “Take a look.”
Eric leaned forward, curiosity
sharpening. He picked up the gamers
