Ryan muttered, but uncertainty crept into his voice. “It has to be a coincidence.”“No, no,” Victoria shook her head frantically. “There's no way. Sophia Nathaniel wouldn’t possibly be having a meeting with that loser...”But her voice lacked conviction.Upon hearing what Jessica just said, Young Master Landon's confident smile faltered as he watched their faces. “What's going on? Why do you all look like he's some kind of a real deal?”“That guy,” Victoria blurted out, twisting her Cartier bracelet nervously. “He just left here claiming he had a meeting with Sophia at Crystal Bay and you're saying you met Sophia at the same place.”Landon's perfectly maintained expression cracked. A muscle twitches in his jaw as he loosened his tie even more. “He what?”“It's nothing,”Jessica cut in quickly, noticing the dangerous glint in Landon's eyes. She forced a laugh that sounded brittle even to her own ears. “Think about it logically, for someone who pretend to be who he's not. He pr

He examined the ancient medical symbols with reverent care. “Where did you get this?”“A kind young Mister gave it to me,”the boy replied, hope rising in his chest.“I'll buy it,” the man declared instantly, already reaching for his wallet.“Name your price.”Upon hearing the man has agreed to buy the card the boy said immediately “The Mister said to give you this,” the boy pulled out the carefully folded note, slightly crumpled from his protective grip.Without wasting any more time the man collected the paper, his eyes widened as he read the precise conditions.*Purchase a three-bedroom apartment in the Golden Bay residence complex for the children's immediate use and must be fully furnished.* Set up a trust fund of 10 million dollars for basic living expenses.*Establish a separate education fund of 5 million dollars, specifically for both children through university.*Arrange for a full-time caretaker until the boy turns eighteen“These are... substantial requirements,”th

Damien stood at the intersection of West Street and Pearl Avenue, the sun beginning to flicker on around him. His mind wandered to the little shoe-shine boy, wondering who actually got the card and activated it.At that moment a Bentley Mulsanne glided to a stop before him, its midnight paint reflecting the lights.immediately.The back door opened, and Ryan emerged, straightening his designer suit with practiced importance. undermining the pain he was in.Immediately jaw clenched involuntarily at the sight of Damien – the same man who had humiliated him hours ago, who had sent him flying through crates like a ragdoll.His hands trembled with barely suppressed rage, and he shoved them deep into his pockets to hide it. The memory of the warehouse scene made his broken ribs throb with both pain and shame.‘Control yourself’ he thought, forcing down the urge to call another group of men again. However the miracle doctor would arrive any minute – he couldn't risk making a scene.His eye

Upon hearing what his butler just said.Chairman Zachary watched in stunned silence as Damien fingers traced invisible meridian lines over his wife's body, each observation matching perfectly with that fateful confrontation five years ago. Details only he knew about.“The Thunder Spirit Strike...”he whispered to himself again, his earlier doubts about Damien's simple appearance started crumbling like sand. “He identified the problem without any background information, without even taking up to a minute...”His hands trembled as understanding dawned on him.

What countless specialists with their expensive equipment and prestigious titles had failed to discover, the young doctor had diagnosed it with a single glance.“Forgive my earlier skepticism,” Chairman Zachary bowed deeply, genuine respect replacing his previous uncertaint

It was as if she expected the world to revolve around her, and he found himself growing more and more irritated with each passing second.“Unbelievable,” Damien muttered, shaking his head. “How can someone be so full of themselves?”With a sigh of exasperation, Damien pressed the end call button, cutting off Serenity mid-sentence. Meanwhile, Serenity was left staring at her phone in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief.“Did he just... hang up on me?” she whispered, her voice trembling with angerimmediately She clenched her fists, her body shaking with rage. “How dare he?”she seethed, her eyes blazing with fury.“I am the War Goddess!
