At that moment, upon hearing the harsh words that his father had just delivered like daggers straight to his heart, and seeing the cold, determined look written clearly across his father's weathered face, Jefferson's father knew deep down in his soul that one way or another, he absolutely needed to make serious amends for what had just happened in this room.He could feel the weight of years of disappointment and frustration that his father had been carrying about him, all the times he had failed to live up to the old man's expectations, all the moments when he had shown hesitation instead of the ruthless decisiveness that his father valued above everything else.This wasn't just about the Malisa situation anymore; this was about his entire future, his place in the family hierarchy, his right to call himself a worthy son of such a powerful and feared man.He knew that his father had never been completely pleased with him over the years, had always seen him as somewhat soft compared to

At that moment, Jefferson's father quickly raised his hand up like someone trying to stop a moving train before it crashed into a wall, his face showing clear signs of worry and concern about the direction this conversation was heading.“Father, please listen to me carefully,” he said urgently, his voice carrying the kind of caution that comes from someone who can see disaster approaching from miles away. “I think we are making a very serious mistake here with this plan, and I strongly believe we are being too reactionary without thinking through all the possible consequences of our actions.”He leaned forward in his seat, trying to make his father understand the gravity of what they were discussing.“This Melissa woman is not just some random person we can push around however we want. She is a senior director of Premium Bank, one of the most powerful financial institutions in this entire country.” His voice grew more emphatic as he spoke. “She holds a very high position there, Fath

Immediately, Jefferson's father nodded his head up and down slowly as his eyes scanned through the papers in his hands, reading every single detail that had been gathered about this mysterious woman who had suddenly appeared in their investigation.“Yes, yes, her name is Melissa,”he said out loud, his finger tracing along the lines of text as he spoke. “And from what I can see here, everything about her is written down in these documents, all of the information we could possibly need is right here in front of us.”He looked up from the papers with a thoughtful expression on his face, his mind clearly working through something that troubled him deeply.“So this is the lady that Jefferson saw with that good-for-nothing Raymond the other day at the restaurant.”At that moment, without wasting another second thinking about it, Jefferson's grandfather nodded his head again, this time more firmly, like someone who had just decided that action needed to be taken immediately.“Well, I strongl

Her voice dropped lower but became more bitter and wounded as she revealed the personal pain driving her actions, “Because what Jeremy did to me with his lies and manipulation, the way he threatened me and humiliated me in front of people - I still cannot even raise my head properly among my circle of friends anymore.” Rebecca's face twisted with remembered shame and anger, “That bastard literally lied about me and destroyed my reputation, spreading rumors and making me look like a fool in front of my friends.”Her voice became more strained and emotional as she continued, almost trembling with suppressed rage, “The humiliation and shame has gotten so bad, it has risen all the way up to my neck and I feel like I am about to completely explode from all this bottled-up anger and frustration.”Immediately upon seeing Rebecca's emotional outburst and the way she was trembling with suppressed rage, that was when Dahlia's mother quickly stepped closer to her daughter and told her in a sooth

Immediately upon hearing Madam Veronica's direct question about whether she had been cooperating fully with their previous discussion, that was when Dahlia's mother quickly nodded her head with obvious eagerness, saying with a voice that tried to sound completely compliant, “No problem at all, absolutely no problem whatsoever. I am completely willing to give you any information that you want from me, whatever details you need to make this arrangement work perfectly.”At that moment, Madam Veronica's voice came through the phone with a slight edge of impatience as she then said, “But you still have not properly answered my earlier question, the one I asked you before we got sidetracked by other matters.” Her tone became more pointed as she continued, “I specifically asked you whether you have told Dahlia about my interest in her, about my son's desire to meet her and potentially pursue a relationship. This is one of the most important questions that I asked you earlier in our conversa

At that moment, hearing what Madame Veronica just said, Dahlia's mother felt her legs almost start shaking uncontrollably beneath her like someone standing on ground that had suddenly become unstable. Her body betrayed the panic that was building inside her chest as she tried desperately to process the question that had just been thrown at her.She wasn't expecting Madame Veronica to ask something like this, not this directly, not this soon, and the realization hit her like cold water that she was now trapped in a very dangerous situation of her own making.Her mind raced through all the possible answers she could give, weighing each one carefully while knowing that Madame Veronica had already made it crystal clear that she absolutely hated lies and could spot them from miles away, which meant that whatever answer came out of her mouth right now needed to sound as close to the truth as possible without actually being the complete truth.She knew deep down that she would need to tell m

“Brother, you need to make your decision right now,” he said, his voice carrying both urgency and finality.“The prince cannot be allowed to go unavenged like this, and we absolutely cannot allow the Supreme King to continue having his way with our family and our kingdom.”Then the king's brother, seeing his sibling sitting there in stunned silence trying to process everything that had been revealed, decided to press his advantage and make his final push.“Brother, listen to me very carefully,” he said, his voice taking on an edge of urgency that demanded immediate attention.“It is now or never. This is the critical moment where everything hangs in the balance.”His expression grew more intense as he continued. “It is either you make your decision right now, in this very moment, or you are not going to get the opportunity to bring down the Supreme King at all.”The brother leaned forward with deadly seriousness. “Because this window of opportunity won't stay open forever, and if we

At that moment, upon hearing what his brother had just revealed about having evidence and connections to the real Circle, that was when the king felt his legs give way beneath him.He was so shocked by the implications of what he was hearing that he couldn't help but slowly lower himself back into his seat, his mind reeling from this new information.He sat there facing his brother directly, his eyes wide with a mixture of disbelief and growing understanding.“So you are telling me that you are actually the founder of the Circle?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.The weight of this revelation seemed to settle on his shoulders as he processed what this meant for everything he thought he knew about the ongoing conflicts in his kingdom. Then his brother looked directly at him and nodded his head with complete seriousness and conviction.“Yes, I am,” he confirmed without any hesitation in his voice. “And everything that I have done, every action I have taken, has been to prote

Immediately after listening to his brother's long, careful explanation about backup plans and royal authority, that was when the king's patience finally snapped completely.His grief and rage had been building to a boiling point, and all the diplomatic language was only making his pain worse.“You are beating around the bush like some kind of politician!” he exploded, his voice echoing off the chamber walls with raw fury.His hands slammed down on his desk again as he leaned forward. “Can't you see that I'm drowning in pain right now? Can't you see that I'm dying inside?”The king's voice cracked with emotion as he continued. “Can't you see that some crazy bastard calling himself the Supreme King literally just murdered my son, my heir, my boy, and you are still here beating around the bush with fancy words?”His eyes blazed with the desperation of a father who had lost everything that mattered. “Do you think I'm not the kind of father who wants to do absolutely anything at this mom

At that moment, seeing that the emotional testimonies had been delivered and the king was now fully committed to seeking revenge, that was when the king's brother turned his attention to the two young people who had served their purpose in his carefully orchestrated plan.He looked directly at the prince's best friend and the prince's fiancée with an expression that was polite but clearly dismissive.“I think you both have done enough for today,” he said in a tone that carried subtle authority. “You should leave us now to discuss what needs to be done next.”His voice became more formal as he continued. “If there is any need for further questioning about what my nephew told you, or if we need any additional information about his activities, we will call for both of you immediately.”The king's brother gestured toward the door. “For now, you should go home and try to process this terrible loss.”Both of the young people bowed their heads respectfully, understanding that they were be

And at that moment, seeing the confusion and desperate need for answers written all over his brother's tear-stained face, that was when the king's brother took a deep breath and spoke with what appeared to be reluctant honesty.“I am very, very sorry to have to say this to you, my brother, especially at such a painful time,” he began, his voice carrying the weight of someone about to deliver even more devastating news.His expression seemed pained as he continued. “But then again, I think it would be much better if you hear this story directly from the horse's mouth itself, rather than from me trying to explain secondhand information.”At that moment, he lifted his hands and clapped them together twice in a sharp, commanding gesture that echoed through the chamber.“You can come in now,” he called out toward the door with authority.That was when the heavy wooden door to the king's private chamber was pushed open slowly again, this time more carefully than when the brother had burst

The king was still busy working in his private chamber, his desk covered with scrolls and documents that required his attention and royal seal, when all of a sudden the door to his room just burst open furiously with such force that it slammed against the wall.It was his brother who came storming inside without any announcement from the guards outside, without any of the proper protocol that was supposed to be followed when entering the king's private quarters.The minute his brother walked inside with that urgent energy radiating from every step, that was when the king felt something shift in the atmosphere of the room.Even though he was kind of taken aback by this sudden intrusion and the complete disregard for proper royal etiquette, the king put down the document he had been reading and looked up at his brother with a mixture of surprise and irritation.He then asked with clear displeasure in his voice, “Where are your manners, by the way? Why would you just barge into my privat

CHAPTER 544THE VERDICT 'You're under arrest, Mr Richard. Let me see your hands,' the chief of police demanded, his voice loud and stern.The senator knew at that point that there was no way to escape. He had been exposed, and the only thing left to do was to accept his fate.He raised his hands and was handcuffed while the other police officers pushed him further along.'You can't do this, please! There must be another way,' Jessica managed to say, though she wasn't sure what she was saying.The evidence was everywhere and she knew she wouldn't be able to avoid this one.Her husband was in trouble, and if she wasn't careful, she was going to get caught up in it too.By the time they came out of the house, everyone in the estate had gathered to witness the commotion. They stood with shocked expressions on their faces.The senator, who had just expressed his desire to become governor, was now handcuffed and being taken away by the police.It was a completely new experience for everyon

CHAPTER 543SHAMEJudge West was ashamed when he looked at his son.He had never been so angry about anything in his life. He was so furious that he felt like murdering someone to quell his anger.He was sitting in his house, about to finalise a deal, when the authorities burst in and began arresting everyone.This had never happened before, and it didn't take long to realise that it was his foolish son who had done it, exposing him to forces too big to tear down.'Father, what's going on, and why are you handcuffed like a criminal?' Andrew asked, his eyes filled with confusion.He had thought that, once he got to the police station, he would just call his father and everything would be settled. But what he was witnessing was a big shock that he couldn't explain.What was he going to do without his father, who had always been a pillar of support and shed light on his path?The road ahead seemed slippery and dark, and for the first time, he was scared of what the future might hold."Fa

CHAPTER 542DEFEATED "Suit yourself, but you're done for, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can try everything you know, but it won't work," Jeremy said confidently to Andrew. He made sure that he left no stone unturned.Everything that had happened had made Jeremy exasperated and he was ready to get justice.He had worked too hard to allow Andrew to be released so easily. He wasn't going to allow it. He was going to make the man suffer for everything he had put him through."You don't know what you're doing. If you did, you would stop now. I come from one of the most powerful families in New York, and you will not walk free from what you have done." Andrew muttered angrily to Jeremy.He couldn't believe that his control over those powerful men had been reduced to nothing. He was handcuffed like a common criminal; his father would be so disappointed to see him like this. This was a big disgrace to a man of his standing.He needed to think of an escape plan. He could not al

CHAPTER 541APPREHENDED Jeremy came outside and looked at the boss. They maintained eye contact for a while before Jeremy spoke with realisation "I actually knew that you were part of the circle, but I wanted to be sure before making any moves. Now it has come to light," Jeremy muttered with a smirk.He had his doubts, but after some research and conversations, he discovered that he was on the right track.Andrew,his father's butler had been the circus master all along while he was acting as though he had his back and wanted the best for him."After I spoke to you, you said something in that direction, but you quickly diverted it. I knew that something was wrong. I paid more attention whenever we spoke, but I didn't want to take drastic steps without solid evidence, because i knew that men like you could easily escape the law and i didn't want to take any chances. Now that we have proof, you will go down," Jeremy added. He was disgusted by Andrew.He was even surprised himself to se

CHAPTER 540FOLLOW THE TRAILS The circus boss started laughing to himself; he couldn't believe he had missed it. The answer he had been craving had been right in front of him the whole time, but he just hadn't noticed.For him, this was the connection he had been searching for, and there was no way he wasn't going to get what he wanted.The owner of the school, Mr Philip, must have known something, or rather, received the support he needed, which was why he thought he could challenge him.Although he was angry with the senator for his mistake, there was no reason why Mr Philip couldn't be involved.The situation was complex, but all he wanted to do was unravel the connection and iron out the kinks.He took out his phone and dialled a number; his patience was wearing thin and he just wanted to do something quickly.'Hello boss, at your service,' a man at the other end quickly answered, his voice filled with humility and loyalty.'Do you know Mr Philip's house? He's the owner of the bi

CHAPTER 539NEW DISCOVERY "What have I done? The Senator asked in awe, his mouth open in anger.It wasn't what he had expected Mr Raymond to say and the word alone had left him distraught."Don't you dare point the finger at me Raymond, I wasn't the one who was greedy and wanted twenty percent of someone else's profits. It was your selfishness and greed that brought us to where we are now". The Senator condemned, his tone firm with accusation.He wasn't going to accept Raymond's words and how he wanted to paint him as the bad guy. He had seen the signs and he wouldn't accept it."Greed, you say? You don't have the right to call me greedy. You wanted the governorship and you didn't care who you hurt as long as you got it. You're practically the reason we're in this mess," Mr Raymond fired back at the Senator.He was furious that the Senator was trying to use his involvement with Mr Philip to pin the blame on him.The indulgence of Mr Philip couldn't be the reason why things were going
