378; The Gift Intrusion
Chapter 378: The Gifted Intrusion The early evening light spilled into the Preston company, golden and soft, catching on the crystal vase of fresh orchids Stephany had arranged earlier. She sat on the long cream sofa, flipping through a catalog of recent Preston interior projects—trying to distract herself as she waited for Chris. They’d been spending more time together lately—really talking, not just coexisting. And tonight, Chris had promised to pick her up. Until the doorbell rang. Expecting maybe a delivery or Chris may have come, although they just finished texting, he must be eager to go home she thought and smiled to herself as she opened the door. But it wasn’t a delivery.And neither was it Chris at the door. It was Rider Cornel. Tall. Impeccably dressed in a deep gray Italian suit, a bouquet of royal lilies in one hand and a sleek black gift box in the other. His smile was practiced but boyishly warm. “Steph,” he said with a small bow of his head, “I hope
376; The Forgotten Graves
Chapter 377: The Forgotten Graves The message didn’t come with a number. No name. Just that eerie line: “Meet me at the cemetery. We need to talk about your husband’s parents.” Stephany stared at it long after Chris handed the phone back. A quiet fog crept into her chest, the kind that smelled of old secrets and unmarked tombstones. Chris didn’t blink. “Which cemetery?” She hesitated. “Greenstone. The old family plot, west end of the city.” His face hardened instantly. “That’s where my parents were buried.” Silence settled between them. Stephany adjusted her seatbelt and whispered, “Let’s go.”“Are you sure? It might be dangerous.” He said.“Yes Chris, wherever you’re going, I’ll go with you., and I’m sure you will protect me no matter what hat.” Stephnay reassure me him and the two of them did not drive home immediately. At Greenstone Cemetery It was nearly sundown when the gates creaked open. The sky was painted in streaks of gold and ash. Crows lined
380; The Final Consummation
Chapter 380: The Final ConsummationThe cemetery lay behind them, shrouded in fog and secrets, but Stephany’s grip on Chris’s hand didn’t loosen.Not even when they returned to the car.Not even when he remained silent the whole drive back to the penthouse, eyes fixed on the road, jaw tight, hands steady, but not relaxed.Stephany didn’t push him to speak.She didn’t need to.She had felt the shift. Not just in him… but in herself.And when the elevator opened to the quiet luxury of the penthouse, with its clean lines and soft city glow bleeding through the massive windows, she knew—Tonight, something had changed forever.Chris didn’t stop at the living room.He walked straight to the window wall, loosened his coat, and stood there. Watching. Thinking.Processing.Stephany followed slowly.“You okay?” she asked gently, setting her bag down.His back rose and fell with a breath. “I’ve waited so long to know what really happened. For proof.”“And now that you have it?”Another pause.C
381: Chris is a Brown
Chapter 381: Chris is a Brown The morning sun cast a golden hue over the city skyline, but within the Brown family's towering headquarters, a storm was brewing. The previous night's revelations at Greenstone Cemetery had left Chris and Stephany reeling, but there was no time to dwell on the past. The Browns were making their move. News outlets buzzed with headlines: "The Prodigal Son Returns: Chris Brown Rejoins the Brown Empire." Social media platforms were flooded with posts celebrating Chris's "homecoming." The narrative was clear: Chris had been groomed from a young age to take the helm of the Brown conglomerate, and his recent successes were a testament to his family's legacy. At the center of this media frenzy was Grandfather Brown, the patriarch of the family. A shrewd businessman, he saw in Chris not just a grandson but a valuable asset to solidify the family's dominance in the corporate world. He orchestrated a grand charity gala in Chris's honor, aiming t
382: Sinclair event
Chapter 382: Sinclair’s Last Hope The moon hung heavy over the city skyline, casting soft light across the rooftop garden of the Rose Diamond Tower, where Chris Brown was hosting a charity auction for displaced victims of recent business syndicate raids. The event glittered with quiet prestige soft jazz from a live quartet, women in pearls, men in sharp suits, waiters gliding by with vintage wine. And standing at the edge of it all, barely blending in, was Sinclair Pete. She hadn't been on an invite list. But her name still carried enough weight for now that no one questioned her presence too loudly. Her red satin gown shimmered under the lights, but her eyes held shadows. Her family business, once powerful and respected, was now buckling under debt and lawsuits. Since that day she helped Chris with inside information to take down the syndicate, they had been marked. Suppliers cut them off. Contracts dried up. And Sinclair… she was running out of moves. She spotted Ch
383: Sinclair’s Return
Chapter 383: Sinclair’s Return The marble floors of the MTD Enterprises reception hall gleamed like the surface of still water. High above, a crystal chandelier cast a regal light that seemed to silence every unnecessary thought. The building—Chris Brown’s crown jewel—was calm and unshaken, unlike the woman being escorted through its gold-edged glass doors. Sinclair Pete walked tall, but the weight on her shoulders was undeniable. Her heels echoed with urgency, her fitted navy dress clinging to a figure thinner than it once was. The spark in her eyes? Dimmed. But her pride? Still intact… barely. Her father’s empire Pete Consolidated was crumbling. Since the scandal involving the Syndicate, their supply lines had been blacklisted. Government contracts evaporated. Investors fled. And now, their staff was reduced by half, the family house up for silent auction. And yet… Sinclair had told herself she wouldn’t beg. She was here to talk. To negotiate. To find a way b
384; The death of Legacy.
Chapter 384: The Death of a Legacy The day Georgina Sinclair Brown was stripped of every title she held did not begin with fireworks. It began with silence. MTD’s boardroom was unusually quiet for a Monday. Not because no one was speaking but because everyone was watching Chris Brown. He sat at the head of the table, in a black shirt, no tie, no show of power yet power pulsed in the air around him. Across the table sat the Brown family elders. Men and women who once dismissed him, now forced to face what he had become. What they had created. Georgina was present too—still regal in a navy blazer, her lips tight with defiance. She had not imagined things would turn out this way. But the evidence was too overwhelming. The syndicate records, the manipulated contracts, the altered MTD shares, and most damning the footage of her giving authorization to dispose of whistleblowers. Chris had gathered it all. Silently. Meticulously. “I didn’t authorize all of it,” Georgina argue
385; Eleanor’s Redemption
Chapter 385: Eleanor’s Redemption The Preston mansion had never felt this empty. For years, its marble floors echoed with footsteps of ambition, vanity, and pride. But today, Eleanor sat alone in the dining hall, her reflection sharp against the glass walls, her silence louder than ever. She had sent the staff home early. The boardroom battles were over for now. The lies were unraveling. And for the first time in years, Eleanor Preston felt something rare. She felt shame. She picked up the last message from Stephany and read it again: ‘Mom, I’m fine. I just need time to think. Please don’t look for me.’ Eleanor’s fingers trembled. It wasn’t just the distance it was the coldness in Stephany’s words. The daughter she raised to be strong had also learned to shut her out. And it was her fault. She hadn’t protected her. She hadn’t protected Chris. She hadn’t protected anyone. Eleanor closed her eyes, and for the first time in a long time… she wept. Two hours later, she was in
386; Rise of A God in Business
Chapter 386: The Rise of a God in Business The boardrooms were no longer enough to contain him. Chris Brown sat at the pinnacle of power not just as a CEO, but as something more. Something the world didn’t fully understand yet. Something that even the Browns had failed to grasp in their greedy calculations. He had risen from the shadows, but not alone. The Game an underground society of elite entrepreneurs, warriors, and spiritual cultivator, had once mocked his name. In the beginning, Chris was the outcast. The poor Preston son-in-law who stumbled into their arena. He wore no emblems, had no clan, and spoke softly when others roared. But now? Now they whispered his name in reverence. His secret ascension to Sovereign within the Game had reshaped the underworld of elite commerce. He had seized power not by force but by strategy, vision, and an eerie control of cultivation energy they couldn’t trace. The ring of Prominence on his finger hummed softly, resonating with an
387; The Sovereign Decision
Chapter 387: The Sovereign Decision The city hadn’t slept in days. Screens across skyscrapers blinked with one name: Chris Brown. The final phase of the Game—an underground competition known only to the world’s elite—had reached its crescendo. It had started in whispers, conducted behind the curtains of billion dollar handshakes and secret midnight meetings. But now? It was everywhere. The public didn’t know the full scope. They only saw headlines: “Entrepreneur’s Gauntlet Reaches Final Round,” and “Underground Council Seeks Successor.” But those inside the circle knew. This wasn’t just a business tournament. It was the Game of Sovereigns. A test of vision, power, strategy and legacy. Chris stood in the center of the Iron Conclave, a shadow chamber beneath one of the oldest banking towers in Switzerland. The architecture whispered of ancient wealth. Marble walls, engraved crests, silent observers behind tinted panels. Nine seats surrounded him. Eight were occup
