CHAPTER 250
The elevator chimed softly on the seventy-eighth floor of Everhart Holdings.Logan Harricks adjusted his tie for the third time as the receptionist led him through the expansive glass hallway. His palms were sweating, though the temperature in the building was comfortably chilled. He’d rehearsed his apology at least twenty times in the car. Still, his mouth felt dry.He had barely slept since the lounge incident.Not after discovering who Javier Everhart actually was.He’d made a grave mistake — one his shareholders were already whispering about.The receptionist stopped at a tall set of matte-black double doors. She didn’t knock. She simply stepped aside.“He’s waiting,” she said.Logan inhaled sharply and entered.The room was stunning in its minimalism. Black marble floors. An enormous window overlooking the skyline. A single long table, clean save for a sleek laptop and a cup of untouched espresso.And behind the table sat Javier.In the same modest style jacket.No nameplate. No

CHAPTER 251
The ballroom shimmered with chandeliers and champagne flutes, filled with laughter far too rehearsed and smiles far too sharp.Everyone who was someone had gathered for the annual Whitmore Foundation Charity Gala—a parade of designer gowns, million-dollar watches, and inflated egos.Javier Everhart stood alone by the marble pillar near the back, wearing a dark gray suit that lacked any designer logo.His tie was simple. His shoes polished but not glossy. No entourage. No fanfare.He was invisible.Just how he liked it.Except invisibility often came with assumptions.“Oh dear,” a woman's voice said with a sharp chuckle. “Did someone let the valet wander inside?”Javier turned slightly.Three women stood near him, their glittering gowns clinging to curves sculpted by surgeons. Their laughter was brittle, like glass about to crack.One of them, a blonde with a crystal clutch, raised a brow at him.“You’re not lost, are you?” she asked. “This isn’t the service entrance.”Javier offered a

CHAPTER 252
“Who insulted my husband?”Silence crashed down like thunder.All heads turned toward Valeria Everhart as she strode into the ballroom, the soft click of her heels echoing like gunshots across the marble. Her dress—black silk, tailored to perfection—moved like liquid shadow around her. Elegant. Composed. Lethal.Javier stood still, unbothered, his eyes meeting hers with a flicker of something unreadable. But Valeria—her gaze burned.The crowd parted instinctively.The women who’d mocked Javier earlier took a step back. The bartender who had hesitated now looked pale. Cassian Langston’s confident smirk faltered at the corners.Valeria&rsquo

CHAPTER 253
“Who gave you permission to bring the vault files here?”Silence.Not the kind of silence that gently fell over a room, but the thick, choking kind that strangled breath and froze movement. The man in the tuxedo—pale, sweating—clutched the USB in his hand like it might protect him from the storm brewing behind Javier’s gaze.“N-No one, sir,” he stammered. “I—I just thought if they saw what was inside, maybe we could avoid—”“You thought,” Javier interrupted, his voice still calm but carrying a weight that cracked through every ego in the room, “you could bargain.”The man swallowed. “Cassian said—”Last Updated : 2025-07-10Read more

CHAPTER 254
For a man no one had seen arrive, the stranger commanded the room with eerie ease.He stepped forward, his polished shoes clicking against the marble with military precision. The tailored charcoal coat he wore did little to soften the brutal authority in his stance. His expression—cool, analytical—suggested he wasn’t here for social diplomacy. He was here for control.Javier’s eyes narrowed slightly. He didn’t recognize the man by name. But the presence… it was familiar. Not in the way of memory, but in the instinct of someone who'd played this game for too long. A predator recognizing another.Valeria leaned closer to Javier, her voice barely above a whisper. “That’s General Aldric Vale. Retired. Intelligence strategist. He vanished from the public eye nearly ten years ago.”Javier said nothing.Aldric's pale gray eyes swept the room, ignoring the mess of scandalized elites and shaken executives. His focus was singular—fixed on the man who had just publicly toppled the Langston empir

CHAPTER 255
Javier didn’t flinch.He studied the photo on his phone again, eyes narrowing only slightly at the shadowed figure near the front door of his private estate. The timestamp had already ticked thirty seconds past. Whoever had taken the photo wanted him to panic.He slipped the phone back into his pocket, straightened the cuffs of his suit, and calmly turned to Valeria.“We’re not going home.”Valeria blinked. “But—”“If they expected me to bolt,” Javier said, his voice low and razor-steady, “then the house is already compromised. Running there now would only play into their hand.”He turned toward his lead security advisor, a man named Rourke, who had blended quietly into the crowd since the gala began. “Activate protocol O-3. Blackout mode. Get every feed, every drone, every sensor at the estate live and reporting.”Rourke’s brow lifted slightly. “You’re sure you want to initiate O-3? That locks out internal staff.”“If anyone is still inside,” Javier said without emotion, “they’re not

CHAPTER 256
The room darkened as the monitors blinked out. For a split second, all Javier and Valeria could hear was the faint hum of electricity rerouting. The Everhart estate had gone silent. Too silent.Javier didn’t panic.He stepped back from the now-dead holographic screen and looked to Valeria. Her expression was sharp, eyes alert, every instinct in her ready for war."They triggered a silent disruption virus," Javier said calmly. "It was embedded inside the server backdoor—someone had access weeks ago. This wasn’t spur of the moment."Valeria grabbed a nearby tablet and opened the auxiliary control panel. "We can still reroute through the Everhart satellite relay. It’s off-grid."Javier nodded. "Do it. I’ll initiate the isolation protocol. We’re cutting them out of the mainframe."Her fingers moved fast, typing command lines and authorization codes while Javier moved to a backup terminal embedded behind the painting of a forest valley on the gala wall. A hidden panel popped open, revealin

CHAPTER 257
The golden ballroom of the Seraphine Hotel shimmered beneath crystal chandeliers, casting reflections across champagne glasses and polished marble floors. Laughter, fake smiles, and the sound of soft jazz mingled in the air—typical of a high-society charity gala meant to impress, not inspire.Javier Everhart walked in unnoticed.As always, he wore a simple dark-gray suit—well-cut, but not flashy. No designer logo, no name tag, no entourage. He moved quietly past socialites, government donors, and business tycoons who barely spared him a glance.A waiter nearly bumped into him at the entrance.“Oh—watch it, sir,” the man said, sneering. “You’re not valet, are you?”Javier gave a

CHAPTER 258
Javier stood still, eyes fixed on the man who had just burst into the ballroom. The room was deathly silent except for the heavy breathing of the IT security officer who had delivered the news. Javier didn’t move. He didn’t flinch.“What exactly was wiped?” he asked, his voice even and quiet, but sharp enough to silence the whispers building in the crowd.The man swallowed hard. “Everything from the Langston Vault backup. Financials. Signed digital agreements. The entire chain of board correspondence. Gone. Not deleted—scrubbed. It wasn’t a virus—it was human.”Mr. Garrick stepped down from the stage, his expression tightening. “But that server wasn’t connected to the internet. It was air-gapped. No outside access.”“It wasn’t accessed from outside,” the IT officer said. “It was breached from inside. Someone with your internal encryption keys.”Garrick’s face paled.Javier said nothing. He turned, calmly scanning the ballroom. His eyes swept over every guest, every supposed ally, ever

CHAPTER 259
The air in the room thickened as Clara stepped farther inside, her heels muted against the carpet. Her composure was nearly flawless—shoulders squared, chin held high, eyes sharp behind delicate glasses—but Javier had long since learned that poise was often the first mask worn by a liar.She didn’t offer a handshake.“I know what it looks like,” Clara began. “But you’re wrong.”Valeria narrowed her eyes. Garrick remained standing near the screen, visibly unsure whether to sit or run.Javier didn’t blink. “Do I look surprised?”Clara hesitated for just half a beat. “You always look unreadable. That’s part of your charm, isn’t it?”“Charm is for people trying to win something,” Javier replied calmly. “You’re here to negotiate. So say what you came to say.”Clara took a seat across from him, folding one leg over the other. “You’re not going to find Roland. Not unless I give him to you.”“Bold of you to assume I need your help to find a man who’s already hiding under your instructions.”H
