Chapter 322: An Interrupted Moment of Bliss!
Andrew, James, and Hailey didn’t even try to deny it as all three of them raised their hands at the exact same time — palms open, shoulders lifted, expressions perfectly identical as though saying:“We’ve been busted.”Hailey let out a delighted gasp as realization finally clicked into place.Of course James and Andrew had been acting strange, and everything was part of the plan. From the three of them showing up at Bella’s house at the same time to the choice of the theatre and the amount of money they had spent in acquiring those tickets.It all made sense now as it was now obvious that they hadn’t just come along to comfort Bella.They had been working with Jackson.“Unbelievable,” Hailey whispered, grinning wide. “You all planned this! All three of you—and Jackson!”Andrew offered her a shameless wink while James gave a theatrical bow.Nancy folded her arms, trying to look stern but failing miserably as her lips twitched into a smile.Of course, just like Bella, she too had been s
Chapter 323: Hands Above Your Heads! Now!
Just then, a single, collective gasp rippled through the entire hall as someone shouted in alarm from the back row. Bella’s grip tightened around Jackson’s hand as her breath hitched. The shout was not just frightening, it sounded life threatening at the same time.Then, just as suddenly as it had gone black, the lights flickered violently, snapping off for a millisecond before blasting back on at full brightness as though someone had deliberately handled the switch to turn off and turn on the lights while everyone was busy admiring the display of love from both Jackson and Bella.The screen behind them sputtered, froze on an image of Jackson kissing Bella’s forehead… and then everything went eerily still.For exactly half a second, and that was because when Bella looked down, her entire body seized with terror.A body—an actual human body—lay sprawled on the floor directly beneath her and Jackson’s feet, as though it had materialized out of thin air during the blackout.And as if tha
Chapter 324: Put Them In The Car!
James, Andrew, Hailey, and Nancy lifted their hands into the air the moment the chief gave the command. But Jackson remained still, and at the same time stunned, his arm half-raised but his mind racing.Bella shook violently as she raised her hands, her face buried against Hailey’s shoulder.“Officer, please—” Nancy tried to speak, but the chief cut her off instantly.“Not another word! Move away from the body, all of you!”His pistol was pointed directly at Jackson as though he already made his conclusion that Jackson must have been the mastermind of the entire murder.“Sir—” Andrew began.“Move away from the body!” the chief repeated, louder this time and with the trigger half-tensed. “Slowly!”“Okay! Okay—we’re moving!” James shouted back shakily as he helped guide Jackson away.The six of them took careful steps backward until they were lined up in front of the first row of seats, hands raised, breathing uneven.The officers fanned out, two kneeling beside Jonah to inspect the cor
Chapter 325: Just One Call!
The ride to the police station felt endless as none of them spoke neither did any of them even dared to breathe too loudly. A perfect day had just been ruined by something that no one had seen coming. And to make matters worse, there was no one to even stand up for them and make the police see that they had no hand in what had happened to Jonah. All they did was just to wait to see what had really happened to him, and how he had ended up in the theatre in the first place.The cruiser rumbled through the streets, the flashing lights reflecting off the metal bars in front of them. Bella rested her head on Jackson’s shoulder, trembling uncontrollably. Hailey held her hand while Nancy hugged herself tightly, eyes fixed on the floor.James and Andrew sat on either side of Jackson, both tense, both furious, and both confused.Jackson stared straight ahead, his mind racing.Everything felt wrong and staged and he could tell it was. But the only problem was how the hell was he going to prove
Chapter 326: The Urgency Of The Matter!
Copper had barely finished the sentence he was saying when he noticed his phone buzzing. He paused mid-sentence, eyes drifting down to the lit screen.“You have a call,” Mr. Whitaker said casually, taking a sip from his glass.Copper and Whitaker had been together for a couple of hours now, discussing about some of the pressing issues that were affecting the capital especially with the Atlas Project and Jackson’s refusal to want to listen to anyone.And the truth is, even if Mr. Copper was angry at Jackson, a part of him still felt guilty that he had abandoned him and by so doing, had failed to keep the promise he made to Philip Hart on his death bed.He had promised Philip that no matter what happened, he’d never leave Jackson’s side, and he’d be there every step of the way to guide him into becoming the man that Philip had always dreamed of him to be.But on that day that Jackson had spoken to him as though nothing he had done for the Hart’s family in the last two decades of his lif
Chapter 327: That Won't Be Necessary!
The area outside the station felt unnaturally still, as Copper and Whitaker entered as though the force of nature itself was pulling them without any show of mercy.The officers at the front desk straightened instinctively, their conversations halting mid-sentence. A rookie officer who had been laughing moments earlier swallowed hard, suddenly unsure whether he should remain seated or stand at attention.Seeing Mr. Whitaker walk in alongside Copper was enough to make them regain composure in an instant. Whitaker had made a name for himself in cleansing the CIA of their corrupt practices and with that, everywhere he went, there was always this respect that he commended even without saying anything.“Sir—good evening,” an officer managed, stepping forward nervously. “May we know—”“We're here for Jackson Hart,” Whitaker said, voice clipped, cold, and loud enough to reach the ears of every officer pretending not to listen. “Where is he?”The officer blinked. “Uhm—Sir—protocol says we nee
Chapter 328: Release Them, Now!
Chief Wallace stood at the doorway, hands clasped behind his back, expression perfectly arranged in a polite but poisonous smile.“Mr. Copper. Mr. Whitaker,” Wallace said, stepping inside with calculated calm. “I wasn’t informed that you would be visiting.”Chief Wallace stood in the doorway, flanked by two senior officers who looked far more nervous than he did. His hands were clasped behind his back, posture rigid, chin raised just enough to communicate one thing:He wasn’t intimidated. Not by Copper, not by Whitaker, and definitely not by the reputation of the Hart family.Copper’s eyes narrowed.slowly, and dangerously as he shifted his stance just enough that Whitaker instinctively mirrored him. Jackson felt the air tighten again, a new storm brewing beneath the fluorescent lights.“And why,” Whitaker asked coldly, “wouldn’t it be necessary?”Chief Wallace offered a thin smile—one that didn’t reach his eyes.“Because,” he said deliberately, “the investigation regarding these stude
Chapter 329: The Cranium Sect!
The drive back to Sky Tower was unusually silent as thoigh someone had passed a law that it ought to be so. No one spoke, annd no one even shifted in their seat. The weight of everything that had happened pressed down on them like a physical force. The flashing streetlights outside the tinted windows slid across their tense faces, highlighting the exhaustion, the fear, and the unspoken questions.When they finally arrived at the Sky Tower’s private basement entrance, Jackson felt his chest tighten even though being home should have felt comforting.But the truth was that, it didn’t—not with the image of Jonah’s lifeless body burned into their minds, not with the police breathing down their necks and definitely not with the unknown still lurking in the shadows.Whitaker and Copper led the way, their strides sharp and controlled, like men already preparing for the next battle. Back in the station, they hadn't waited to hear the full story of what happened at the Cinema before requesting
Chapter 330: Unmasking Bloodlines I
One by one, the group began to disperse after a very rough day for each and everyone of them. Somewhere alonng the conversation, Evans and Celestine had walked in and they were stunned to see every other person gathered around except the two of them.Everyone was happy to see that Evans' memory had returned and that he and Celestine were back with them. But with the reunion of the group, came a major task once again, and a greater puzzle now left before them to solve.Victor Vaughan had remained off the radar for a while now, and as much as it was a relief for them, they knew his absence from Jackson's life for quite some time now wasn't because he had decided to quit, but probably because he might be planning something dangerous once again.As for Trey, his own case wasn't any different. The whole city had been living life once again as though there had never been a silver phoenix before, and this peace that came with his absence and that of Victor Vaughan from their affaiirs was sec
Chapter 331: Unmasking Bloodlines II
Copper let out a slow, steady breath, one that seemed to drag the room into a deeper stillness. He rubbed his hands together, as though warming himself against ghosts that only he could feel.“I thought I’d already told you this,” Copper murmured.As someone who had told Jackson so many stories about his past and his family lineage, he thought he had by chance told jackson the full story of Philip and Priscilia.Jackson shook his head faintly. “You didn’t. Or… maybe you did and I just forgot. A lot has happened since then.”Copper nodded, accepting that possibility. “Then listen carefully now. Because what I’m about to tell you… is the root of everything.”Jackson leaned forward unconsciously, Flameborn pulsing faintly beneath his skin, sensing the weight of whatever truth Copper was about to drop.Copper folded his arms, eyes distant—as though recalling a story buried beneath decades of secrets.As one who knew Philip so well before Philip's death, Philip had made sure he told Copper
