Vol. 1 Ch. 34
No one spoke during the drive back to Chase’s mansion.
By Chase’s orders, they weren’t returning to the filming site.
Even Chase himself remained silent, his expression grim.
But every time Josh glanced in the rearview mirror, their eyes inevitably met.
Chase was glaring at him.
There was no denying it.
Even after they arrived and Chase headed upstairs to his room, nothing changed.
Then, Mark, looking serious, gave the inevitable command.
"Everyone, to the lounge."
Josh followed behind him, feeling like a prisoner being led to sentencing.
The air in the lounge was oppressively heavy.
When was the last time it felt this suffocating?
Even when Chase had been kidnapped, the silence hadn’t been this unbearable.
Maybe it was because this time, it was about him.
Mark was the first to break the silence—with a sigh.
But no one spoke.
He fell silent again, and the rest of the team followed suit.
In the end, Josh was the one who couldn’t hold out.
"All this time… ahem, I’m sorry for… keeping it from you."
His voice cracked midway, forcing him to clear his throat.
Even after his apology, the silence remained.
Isaac looked pale, still too stunned to process everything.
Mark kept smoking.
Henry wasn’t any better.@@novelbin@@
