Chapter 701
Bigi gave a sharp nod, signaling his men to help Terrier up so they could leave. Two of them stepped forward, each grabbing one of Terrier’s arms, but the moment they tried to lift him, Terrier screamed in agony. Sweat poured down his pale face as he twisted in pain. “Stop! Don’t move me!” he cried out, voice trembling. “My leg… my leg’s broken!” Bigi frowned and crouched slightly beside him. “Terrier, that’s enough,” he hissed under his breath. “They already paid. Cut the act before you ruin it.” But Terrier’s face told a different story — the kind of pain no acting could fake. His teeth chattered uncontrollably, and his lips quivered as he stammered, “I’m not… I’m not acting! My leg’s really broken!” Bigi’s expression shifted instantly. “What?” Terrier clenched his fists, his eyes burning with rage and humiliation as he pointed weakly at Jaden. “It was him! That bastard kicked me earlier, and now… now my leg’s busted!” “What?” The word burst from Bigi and his men almost

Jaden’s eyes were like shards of ice. His calm voice cut through the tense air.“That elderly man you beat up earlier…” he said, each word measured, deliberate. “That was my father-in-law.”The words hit Bigi and his men like a punch to the gut. For a second, no one moved. Then murmurs rippled through the crowd.“What?”“His father-in-law?”“Wait, that old man they attacked near the Roden?”Bigi’s jaw tightened. His face darkened as he exchanged glances with his crew. A mixture of disbelief and unease flickered in his eyes before anger quickly took over.“So that’s what this is,” he growled, his lips curling into a sneer. “You came looking for trouble.”He spat on the ground and roared, “Hounds, get him! We’ll avenge Terrier!”The men roared in unison, fueled by rage and embarrassment.Wolfhound was the first to move, charging with a dagger gripped tight. “I’ll gut you open!” he bellowed as he lunged straight for Jaden’s torso.The crowd gasped and stumbled back in panic. Morganna’s v

The sound of sirens split the tense silence. A police car came speeding down the road, lights flashing red and blue. The crowd immediately parted, whispering among themselves.A middle-aged man in plain clothes stepped out of the vehicle, followed by several uniformed officers. His presence alone drew respect — this was Police Captain Zed Walker, a man known for his sharp instincts and no-nonsense demeanor.As he approached the scene, Zed was ready to question the crowd — until his eyes landed on the tall, composed figure standing in the middle of the chaos.“Jaden Rift?” he muttered under his breath, momentarily frozen.Of all people, why was he here?Memories flashed in his mind — the last time they met at Moreish Restaurant. Jaden had exposed a bribery scam and humiliated several senior officers right in front of him. Zed had seen Jaden’s temper firsthand and knew better than to cross him again. Ever since that day, he’d carried a deep respect — and a little fear — for the man.Zed

The hospital corridors were eerily quiet. The hum of fluorescent lights filled the still air, and the faint scent of disinfectant lingered like a ghost. Most of the day staff had already gone home, leaving only a handful of night-shift workers scattered about.Even the emergency department, usually alive with noise and chaos, looked deserted. A few patients dozed in wheelchairs, their soft groans echoing faintly. The flickering sign above the nurses’ station blinked red, but no one seemed to be in a rush.On one of the benches in the waiting area sat Selena, Nora, and Mia, their faces heavy with frustration and worry. Between them sat Vane, his head slightly bowed, his shirt stained with blood. His face was swollen, one eye darkened from bruising, a thin stream of blood still trickling from his nose.The door to the emergency room was firmly shut. Behind it, no one was coming or going.When Jaden and Morganna stepped through the automatic doors, the air shifted. Selena looked up insta

Teni leaned back in his chair, his tone bitter as he began to explain.“When I was driving here earlier, I ran into a group of street punks. They faked an accident — pretended I’d hit one of them. Before I could even react, they surrounded my car and started shouting. I tried reasoning with them, but they were just looking for money.”He let out a dry laugh, shaking his head. “In the end, they scammed me out of two thousand.”Lacey blinked in disbelief. “Two thousand? That’s awful!”Teni shrugged, eyes narrowing. “It was either that or a smashed car and a police report. I realized things were about to get ugly, so I took off before they could cause more trouble.”Lacey’s brow furrowed as she pieced it together. “Wait... so that old man outside — he got hurt because he tried to help you, didn’t he?”Teni avoided her eyes. His silence was answer enough.Lacey gasped softly. “No wonder you won’t go out there and treat him. But Dr. Richie, that’s not right. We can’t just leave him bleedin
Chapter 706
Selena's eyes widened in anger and shock. How could anyone be that heartless and arrogant? Blood on a face, and the man who did it was still grinning like he owned the street. Enough was enough.Jaden’s expression hardened. “I gave you a chance. You walked away from it.”Teni gave a bored snort and leaned back in his chair. “Oh yeah? And what are you going to do about it? File a complaint with my bosses?”He spread his hands as if presenting an obvious fact. “Listen. My immediate boss is like a brother. I meet the higher ups for drinks. Complaints are useless. They either laugh or look the other way.”Teni expected the room to agree with him. Instead, Jaden pulled a phone from his pocket and dialed without hesitation. He spoke in a quiet, direct voice. “Mayor Russell Crow. Connect me to the Chief of Second People’s Hospital now.”Teni barked out a laugh. “What a joke.” He waved a hand. “Even if your chief lives in staff housing, you will need a jetpack to get him here in five minutes.
Chapter 707
Jaden gave Chief Harrison Lambert a calm but detailed rundown of everything that had happened—the neglect, the arrogance, the way the doctor ignored an emergency just because his shift hadn’t “officially started.” By the time Jaden finished, Harrison’s face was red with fury. The man’s chest heaved as he slammed a fist on the table. “Unacceptable! This is a hospital, not a marketplace! Every second matters here!” he bellowed. “Teni, you’re suspended immediately pending disciplinary review!” Teni’s throat went dry. He tried to defend himself, but before a single word could come out, a loud commotion erupted outside the corridor. The muffled noise of shouting and stomping feet echoed through the hallway. Everyone froze. “What’s happening out there?” Harrison asked sharply. Jaden’s expression barely changed. “Let’s go find out.” They exited the on-call room, following the echoing shouts toward the emergency entrance. What they saw made nearly everyone stop in disbelief.

Selena and her family were still in shock from everything that had unfolded so quickly. Seeing the cops drag in the Hounds and Jaden handling everything with such calm authority felt surreal. When Zed Walker and his team saluted before leaving, Selena hurriedly stepped forward.“Thank you so much, Captain Walker,” she said sincerely. “We truly appreciate what you’ve done.”Zed waved a hand dismissively, his expression composed but respectful. “No, please, Mrs. Rift. Don’t thank us. We were just doing our jobs,” he replied. “Mr. Rift gave us all the information we needed. We only followed his lead.”Morganna, standing behind Selena, rolled her eyes playfully at Jaden. There he goes again, she thought. Acting all humble like he didn’t just order the entire police unit around. He’s really something else.While Selena’s family was filled with relief and gratitude, one person in the room was visibly falling apart—Teni.The arrogant doctor from earlier had lost every ounce of color in his f

Teni’s relief lasted barely a second. He was still kneeling, still trying to process Vane’s mercy, when a sharp, authoritative voice cut through the air.“Mr. Verrick may have forgiven you,” Chief Harrison Lambert said coldly, “but I haven’t.”The entire corridor went silent again.The Chief’s normally calm demeanor was gone, replaced with stone-hard disappointment. His eyes bore into Teni like scalpels.“This incident has not only humiliated a patient but has severely damaged the reputation of our hospital,” he continued. “You ignored a man in critical condition because your ‘shift hadn’t started’? Then you let his attacker escape and refused to provide treatment when he came here bleeding? That’s criminal negligence, Dr. Teni.”Teni’s lips quivered, but no words came out.Harrison didn’t give him a chance to speak. “You’ve shown gross misconduct in both personal and professional matters. You’re not fit to wear that coat anymore. As of this moment, you’re terminated from Second Peopl
Chapter 710
Finley’s grin widened, slow and deliberate, his tone carrying that mix of arrogance and mockery he was famous for.“Selena Verrick is quite the beauty,” he said, eyes narrowing with amusement. “Honestly, even half the models and actresses plastered across billboards can’t compete with her. The woman’s got that... rare kind of allure.”Carley’s head snapped toward him, irritation flashing in her eyes. “What are you trying to say, Finley?”He gave a small, knowing shrug. “Nothing outrageous. Just a simple truth—beauty is a powerful weapon. Men lose their heads over a pretty face all the time. Who’s to say Professor Manuel didn’t?”Carley’s jaw tightened. “You’re implying that Selena seduced Professor Manuel? That she used her looks to get the vaccine rights?”Finley smirked. “I’m saying it’s the only explanation that fits. That professor’s not a fool—he’d never give such a lucrative deal to a small company like Rift Corporations unless something personal clouded his judgment.”Carley le
