As she rode in her car,
Olivia asked Andrew, "Are you sure about what you told me on the phone? Did he really die?"
Andrew replied, "Yes, I asked the receptionist and the nurses as well."
Olivia pressed further, "Are you sure no one saw you there, Lily Rose or her assistant?"
Andrew replied, "Yes, I'm sure. They both left quickly."
Olivia couldn't hide her distress, "His death is bad for us, very bad. We don't know if he was told anything. What do you think?"
Andrew thought carefully before answering, "We can't assume anything at this point."
Olivia knew they needed to take precautions, "We have to be careful. You know what you have to do."

In Eva's car, the music blared loudly, but Sara shut off the radio.

"What's going on? Why did you turn it off?" Eva asked, her tone curious.

"I just don't want to listen to anything," Sara replied coolly.

"You! You don't want to listen to anything! What's going on? What's wrong?" Eva pressed, her eyes narrowing.

"Sara, I want to ask you about something. What happened between my dad and Lily Rose that caused them to split up?" Sara asked, her voice tense.

"Lily Rose? Why bring her up now?" Eva inquired, her tone sharp.

"Because she came to our house yesterday," Sara replied.

"What? Hold on, let's stop here for a bit," Eva said, pulling over the car near a small bridge over a river. The two got out of the car and sat on the hood.

"I want to know everything about the woman who made my mom go crazy until she died and left us," Sara said, her voice trembling with emotion.

"I understand, my dear, but rest assured that Lily Rose had nothing to do with your mother's death. She and your dad had already split up before he met your mom. He stayed single for a year until he met your mom and fell in love with her, and they gave birth to a beautiful daughter like you. It's been sixteen years since then, and Lily Rose meeting your dad is perfectly normal. They're going to work together, and they need to be professional, though I suspect they could also become friends. But don't worry about them, Lily Rose isn't here for your dad," Eva explained soothingly.

"What? They're going to work together? How?" Sara asked, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Lily Rose came to work with my dad, and if the deal goes well, she'll become a member of the board of directors," Eva said, her voice calm.

"And she'll become the CEO eventually," Sara muttered under her breath, turning her head away.

"What did you say, my love?" Eva asked, her expression concerned.

"Nothing, let's go. It's getting cold out here," Sara replied, shivering.
Eva replied with a curt "okay," and the two of them got into the car and drove off.

At the park near the hotel, Andrew  wassitting on one of the chairs, Lily stood in front of him, and he quickly stood up, straightening his back and saying, "I saw you leave with the police and heard about what happened. I hope everything is all right!"

Lily asked, "Why are you here?"

Andrew replied, "I thought you might have seen me in front of the hospital this morning, and I wanted to explain to you why I was there."

Lily interrupted him, saying, "Don't bother. Vincent already told me everything."

Andrew was surprised and asked, "What did he say?"

Lily replied, "Nothing. Please continue."

Andrew explained, "I wanted to tell you that Vincent is a friend of my father's from the town, and even though we're not friends, we consider ourselves neighbors and acquaintances. When I heard about the accident that happened to him, I came quickly."
