Chapter 144 The Quiet Miracle I

• It had been three weeks since the fall of Horace, and Nina wasted no time returning to school after settling into Darren’s luxurious home.
• Brad had moved out by then but still visited for dinner whenever he could. Most days, he was tied up with his lawyer, going back and forth with the police over the McDormick mansion, which had been cordoned off since that chaotic night. Jim accepted him into the syndicate and vowed to support his rising empire in honor of his late and honorable father, after he passed the probation period.
• Nina and Darren had gone together to meet with the school management to explain her long absence. They spared the sensitive details but made a compelling case for why she should be allowed to continue her education.
