CHAPTER 78: John's furious

　　John’s departure from home was marked by a heavy sense of purpose, although not the usual drive for success or power. This was something much darker. His mind churned, consumed by betrayal, bitterness and the growing thirst for retribution. The Isabelle he had loved so deeply had turned into a ghost of the woman he once cherished, and now that ghost haunted him, festering in his thoughts with every step he took.

　　As John approached his office, his usual confidence felt strained, weighed down by the storm brewing inside him. The parking lot was filled with the cars of employees who were already starting their day and for a moment John paused, staring at the building before him. He knew he had to face the day ahead but part of him dreaded it, there was no escaping the whispers that had already begun.
