Chapter: 176Elsa’s fingers hovered over her phone, then moved quickly. She typed a message to Ethan: “Ethan… where are you? You were supposed to be here twenty minutes ago. I really need you.” No response. She bit her lip, her heart thumping. She typed again, a little sharper this time: “Ethan! Please. This isn’t the time to ignore me. Jerry is… ugh, you know what he’s like.” Still nothing. Her stomach twisted as she sent another message, trying to keep her tone calm but failing: “I don’t know how much longer I can deal with this. Just… just come. Please.” Minutes passed. Elsa’s frustration grew. Her fingers trembled slightly as she sent yet another message, desperate now: “Ethan! I swear, if you don’t show up, I’ll lose it. Please, just come.” Her phone remained silent, the screen still empty of his name lighting up. She clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms, her chest tightening. He was late. He wasn’t replying. And Jerry… Jerry was right there, pretending to be the perfect

Chapter: 175Elsa moved carefully, taking a seat near her cousin Martin. He smirked immediately, leaning in like a predator sizing up prey. “Look who showed up,” he said, his tone thick with mockery. Elsa felt her jaw tighten. She bit her tongue, refusing to reply. Not tonight. She didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of a reaction. A few minutes passed. Elsa’s cousins leaned in closer to each other, whispering, ignoring her completely. She could hear bits and pieces… enough to make her stomach sink. “…she really has a golden opportunity with Jerry Milton,” one of them said, voice low but sharp. “…and she won’t even take it. Such a selfish human being,” another added. “…she doesn’t even have a choice. The family will force her,” a third said. Elsa’s heart thudded painfully. Her hands curled into fists in her lap. She glanced at the clock on the wall. 8:00 p.m. Sharp. Ethan wasn’t here. And neither was Jerry. Her chest tightened at the thought of him. And then, just like that, t

Chapter: 174Ethan leaned back, letting a slow smile curl on his lips. He thought again, remembering his old friend, Gilles. A hacker, sharp as a whip, always ready to dig where others couldn’t see. He picked up his phone and typed a short message: “Need a favor. Milton Entertainment. ASAP.” Within 1 hour, Gilles replied with a quick, “On it.” By the next day, Gilles had done his work. The results popped up on Ethan’s secure laptop: Jerry’s financial records. • 12 bounced checks in the past 6 months • Debts totaling $24.7 million • $5.3 million moved to accounts overseas • All hidden under the guise of Milton Entertainment Ethan shook his head slowly, disgusted. He understood now—Jerry wasn’t just lying about Natalie White. He was going around scamming people, using her name to make himself look important. All because the Milton family was bankrupt and he needed $4.3 million more to flee abroad. “What a pathetic excuse of a man,” Ethan muttered, voice low and hard. “Disgusting human

Chapter: 173Jerry opened his tablet and swiped through slides, his grin widening. “So, as I mentioned, Milton Entertainment has secured an exclusive collaboration with none other than Natalie White herself. The famous singer. She’s extremely excited—she even reached out to my family personally to thank us for this opportunity.”Bill raised an eyebrow but stayed silent, letting Jerry ramble.“Now,” Jerry continued, leaning back, “Natalie has agreed to co-produce her next album through Milton Entertainment. She’s promised full promotion, worldwide tours, and—well, you know how much influence she has. This is a once-in-a-lifetime deal.”Bill nodded slowly, pretending to take notes. “That’s… impressive. And how long has this been in the works?”“Oh, quite a while,” Jerry said, waving his hand. “We’ve been talking for months. My father actually spoke to her personally. Family ties, you see—Natalie’s been extremely respectful, very grateful. We have emails, letters, and even signed verbal agreements. E

Chapter: 172Ethan paused with his fingers over the keyboard, thinking for a moment. Then he typed a short, clear message and sent it to the email address Jerry Milton used for “business inquiries.” Subject: Potential Collaboration — Milton Entertainment Mr. Milton, I represent a client interested in exploring a strategic partnership with Milton Entertainment. If you’re open to a meeting, please let me know your availability this week. Regards, E. Harrow Two days passed and nothing. No reply from him. He’d assumed Jerry would either ignore it or forward it to some flunky. Men like Jerry liked noise and public attention, but they were flaky when it came to doing the work. Still, Ethan didn’t relax. He was already lining up, his fake company, Bill’s role, the curious investor persona he’d asked Bill to adopt. The trap was almost complete. When the notification finally popped up on his laptop, Ethan was happy. He read the reply. The tone was exactly what he expected: overeager and overeage

Chapter: 171The next day, Ethan wasted no time. He sat at his desk, picked up his phone, and called Natalie White directly. When her voice came through the line, calm and warm, he asked straight away, “Natalie, do you have any kind of contract with the Milton family? Do you know a man named Jerry Milton?” There was a short pause before she answered, her voice firm. “No. I’ve never heard of him. And I certainly don’t have any contract with his family.” Ethan leaned back in his chair, his lips pressing into a thin line. It was exactly what he thought. Jerry was a fraud. Natalie’s tone softened. “Why do you ask?” Ethan explained everything—how Jerry had lied to Elsa’s family, claiming he had a deal with her, and how that lie was being used to force Elsa into a marriage she didn’t want. There was silence on the other end for a moment. Then Natalie sighed, her voice heavy. “That’s awful. Poor Elsa… she doesn’t deserve to be treated that way.” “She doesn’t,” Ethan agreed, his tone stead

Chapter: 373he silence stretched, heavy and suffocating, until the sharp click of heels broke it. Every head turned. A woman in a sleek black dress stepped out from the shadows near the bar, her presence commanding in a way that made even Dylan’s exit feel incomplete.Her crimson lips curved into a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.“Well,” she said, voice smooth as silk yet barbed with venom, “that was… entertaining.”The bartender stiffened. “Madam…” he stammered, his throat suddenly dry.She ignored him, her gaze settling on the man still crumpled on the floor. She tilted her head, studying him like one might examine a broken tool.“You’ve embarrassed us tonight,” she murmured. “I warned you to keep your vices hidden. But now…” Her smile sharpened. “…now the wrong man knows.”Gasps rippled through the room. Wrong man?The broken man whimpered, his voice cracking. “P-please… I didn’t mean—”Her hand shot up, silencing him instantly. She didn’t raise her voice, but the weight of her authority was

Chapter: 372The third slap landed with a sickening snap, echoing across the room like a warning bell. The man’s knees buckled entirely this time, and he crumpled forward, his forehead hitting the polished floor with a soft thud. A trickle of blood ran freely now from the split corner of his lip, mixing with the sweat beading on his temples. He gasped, shivering violently, completely undone.Dylan didn’t pause. He stood over him, tall and unwavering, the shadow of authority pressing down on everyone present. His voice, low and deliberate, cut through the murmurs like a blade.“You had your chance,” Dylan said, pacing slowly around the man as if circling prey. “Your lies. Your cruelty. Your arrogance. And yet you thought you could hide behind the faces of others. But masks always slip, don’t they?”The man tried to raise his head, to plead again, but Dylan’s gaze alone held him frozen. His arms hung limp at his sides, as if the will to resist had been crushed entirely.“You hurt someone who had no

Chapter: 371The man by the pillar swallowed hard, his throat bobbing visibly as if every word he wanted to force out turned to stone in his mouth. His pride clashed with his fear. His fingers clenched against his thighs, nails biting into his skin.“I…” he croaked, voice breaking. “I’m sorry.”The bartender stiffened, blinking rapidly. His lips parted, but no sound came out. It was almost too surreal.Dylan’s eyes narrowed. He raised his chin slightly, the movement deceptively lazy but steeped in authority. “Too soft. Say it again. With your chest. Let them all hear who you bow to when your mask cracks.”The man’s face burned red. A muscle in his jaw ticked furiously, but when Dylan tilted his head in that sharp, mocking way again, he caved.“I’M SORRY!” he shouted, the words tumbling out raw and ugly. His voice carried across the room, echoing off the walls. “I was wrong. I mocked without knowing. I–I shouldn’t have said it!”The bartender flinched, looking down at the counter, shame and discomf

He’s just—”“Enough,” the manager cut him off without even glancing his way. His voice carried the weight of authority, calm but absolute. “Mr. Grenville is not to be questioned.”The young bartender, who had whispered earlier, felt his throat close. His hands shook as he tried to polish a glass, but the cloth slipped from his fingers. He dared not meet Dylan’s eyes.Dylan finally slid his phone back into his pocket, his smirk widening just slightly. He didn’t look at the crowd, only at the man still bent before him. “Good,” he said quietly, as if the single word settled everything.The manager

If you’re so important, why don’t you prove it? Or is this just all smoke and mirrors?”A few others around him chuckled, emboldened by his words.Dylan’s eyes flicked toward him lazily, the corner of his mouth twitching upward in a smirk that was all predator. “Smoke and mirrors, you say?” His voice was soft, slow, deliberate. “Funny. I’ve never met a man so confident in his ignorance.”A young bartender, who had been trying to remain unnoticed by the drama, finally whispered under his breath, “Yeah, big talk for someone who just walks in and stares at us like he owns the place.”Dylan’s head snapped toward him, sharper than anyone could have expected. “Walks in?

Conversations stuttered, laughter faltered, and even the clink of glasses from the bar seemed to still.The older receptionist blinked, her lips parting as if she wanted to retort but couldn’t find the words. Dylan’s gaze stayed on her, sharp and unwavering.“Tell me,” Dylan drawled, straightening and letting his hands rest lightly on the counter, “do you really believe a clipboard and a checklist give you more power than me? That a pen stroke decides who belongs here?” He let out a quiet chuckle, slow and mocking. “Adorable.”The tall man near the pillar scoffed, pushing off it with his shoulder. “Big words for someone who can’t even walk in without stuttering at reception.”Dylan’s head turned lazily toward him, eyes narrowing with the faintest glimmer of amusement. “Stuttering?” His smirk deepened. “You must be mistaking me for yourself, since the only thing I’ve heard from your mouth so far is the nervous laugh of a man desperate to be

The explosion had shaken the entire building, but he hadn’t flinched. His wrists bled from the ropes, his breath shallow.The door burst open.“Allvar!”Mara rushed in, followed by Jerek and two others.

Chapter: 299Chapter 299 – “Breaking Point”The air in the deeper section of the warehouse was colder, damp with the scent of mildew and rust. The concrete walls were cracked in places, the flickering overhead light casting eerie shadows that danced along the grime-slick floor. Allvar was dragged into the new room, his boots scraping against the floor, his breath ragged from the effort to stay upright.Tobias followed behind slowly, taking off his gloves finger by finger, his eyes never leaving Allvar.“Put him in the chair. Strap him down properly this time. I don’t want him squirming.” His voice was smooth—too smooth. It sent a shiver crawling down the tall man’s spine.The tall man hesitated a fraction of a second before nodding. “Yes, boss.”Allvar was thrown into the metal chair, his arms shackled behind him this time, legs strapped to the legs of the chair with thick leather. A single bulb overhead buzzed ominously. Shadows danced across Tobias’s face as he stepped into the circle of light.

Chapter: 298298Allvar didn’t answer right away. His mind was working, trying to come up with a way out, a plan, anything. But the truth was, he wasn’t sure he could escape. The pain from the slap still throbbed in his jaw, and the ropes around his wrists were too tight to slip free from. His muscles burned, his body heavy with fatigue from the earlier struggles.Tobias waited, watching him carefully. “Nothing to say? Interesting.”Allvar glared at him, his chest rising and falling with ragged breaths. His thoughts raced, trying to formulate a plan. But Tobias’s mocking gaze made it hard to focus. He clenched his jaw, his teeth grinding together.“You’re not going to win,” Allvar said quietly, though he wasn’t entirely sure he believed it himself. “This will end. It always does.”Tobias chuckled darkly, his voice low and dripping with amusement. “We’ll see about that, won’t we?”Allvar couldn’t help but snap. The frustration, the anger, it all welled up inside of him. “Why don’t you just get it o

Allvar’s head snapped to the side, and a groan escaped his lips. Slowly, his eyes fluttered open, glassy and unfocused.“There he is,” Tobias said, his voice dripping with mock sweetness. He crouched down again, grabbing Allvar by the chin and forcing him to look up. “Welcome back, Allvar. Did you have a nice nap?”Allvar winced, his jaw throbbing from the slap. He tried to pull away, but Tobias’s grip tightened. “Go to hell,” he rasped, his voice hoarse.Tobias chuckled darkly. “Oh, you’ve got some fight left in you. Good. I’d hate for this to be too easy.”The tall man and the stocky one snickered behind him, but Tobias silenced them with a sharp look. “You two—stand back. I’ll handle this.”They nodded quickly, retreating a few steps but staying close enough to watch.Tobias turned his attention back to Allvar, his expression turning

His feet dragged against the ground, leaving faint streaks of blood in their wake. The men didn’t seem to care, their focus solely on bringing him to Tobias."Pick up the pace," the tall man growled, his voice sharp with irritation. His eyes darted ahead, scanning the darkened alley for any signs of danger. "Boss doesn’t like waiting."The stocky man grunted in annoyance. "What’s the rush? He’s not going anywhere. Look at him—barely breathing.""Yeah? And whose fault will it be if he dies before Tobias gets a word out of him?" the tall man snapped, shooting his partner a glare that could cut through steel.

His muscles trembled, but he held on, fighting against the darkness threatening to swallow him whole. He clenched his teeth and managed to grunt, though his words came out in a painful rasp. “You… won’t win,” he hissed, barely audible, but enough to taunt them.The tall man stopped in his tracks, turning to lean down toward Allvar.
