Chapter 171
At that moment, upon hearing what Sophia had just said, both her parents blinked and stared at her with widened eyes. The silence in the room stretched for a few seconds, like the calm before a storm. Her mother leaned forward slightly while her father slowly straightened in his seat, both wearing the same look, an unsettling mix of shock and disbelief.Her mother was the first to speak, voice slightly raised, laced with tension.“Wait… what did you just say?” she asked as if her ears had deceived her. “Did you say you have someone in mind?”Her father squinted as though trying to read something off Sophia’s face.“Is that true, Sophia? You… you already have someone you’re thinking of, and you didn’t see the need to tell us about it? What’s going on here?”Sophia barely had time to process the first question before they both launched into a barrage of others.“Who is he?”“Where is he from?”“What does he do?”“Which family does he come from?”“Why haven’t we heard of him before now?”
Chapter 172
At that moment, Sophia’s father slowly leaned back into the armrest of the couch, folding his arms as his brows knitted deeply together. He stared at her with a mixture of disbelief and cautious concern, then asked in a low voice, “So before you bring him here, at least tell us where is he from? Which family does he come from? What are his roots, Sophia? That matters.”Sophia took in a breath. She had known this moment would come the scrutiny, the questions, the judgment, and yet, she still hoped for something different. “I’m not going to lie to you,” she said, her voice calm but steady. “I don’t know what family he comes from. I don’t know his background like you want me to. But what I do know is what I’ve seen. He’s not just some average man. He’s brilliant. He’s a doctor. He’s a healer. And to be honest, I think he’s more intelligent than I am.”She paused briefly and then added, “He rejected our agency offer. He said no. Point blank. You know what that means in our world? It means

At that moment, the man standing in front of London’s father and his grandfather straightened his back, adjusted the folder in his hand, and let out a low breath as if to gather the weight of what he was about to confirm. His face was pale from exhaustion, he had clearly traveled far, and whatever information he carried had cost him more than just time.“Yes,” the man said firmly, locking eyes with London’s grandfather, “this is actually the man… the one who killed your grandson. He is the one. It was confirmed.”He slowly stepped forward and placed a file gently on the glass table between them. “It took me a very great amount of time, sir,” he added. “Great time, and great resources. I had to pull favors from old connections, trace his movements across regions, even bribe people who didn’t want to talk. But I got it. I got the truth.”At that moment London’s father clenched his fists. His jaw tightened, but he said nothing. The pain in his eyes spoke louder than any word could.Londo

At that moment, hearing what the man just said silence fell in the lavish living room like a heavy curtain. The weight of rage that hung in the air could be sliced with a knife. London's grandfather, seated stiffly with the photograph still clenched in his wrinkled hand, stared down at the image with a venom that could melt steel. His voice dropped into a slow, gravelly growl, each word wrapped in menace.“I don't care,” he said coldly, his lips barely moving, “whether that fool, that good-for-nothing bastard has a mother or not… or if he’s married or not. It means absolutely nothing to me.”His eyes narrowed, flames of hatred dancing within them.“Everything that is related to him,” he snarled, “I will destroy them one after another. Starting from his wife's family.”London's father shifted uneasily beside him, clearly troubled by the intensity in the old man’s voice, but he dared not speak. The old man continued, each word now sharper and louder than the last, his rage boiling to th

At that moment, upon hearing what his mother just said, Tyler calmly lifted his head and gently smiled, nodding in a relaxed manner. With a reassuring tone, he said, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ve already spoken with David, oh, sorry, Mr. David.” He quickly corrected himself with a playful chuckle, trying to match the seriousness his mother expected. “I’ve informed him about your business opening, and he said he’ll be there. Not just him, but the rest of his people too. All of them. They said they’ll come and make sure the event becomes the talk of the entire Z. neighborhood. It’s going to be massive, something no one around here has ever seen before. People will stand up and applaud, not just because of the business itself, but because of how grand the opening will be.”Tyler's words, filled with quiet confidence, settled into the room like a soft but strong breeze. His mother stared at him, wide-eyed, the pen in her hand pausing mid-air. She blinked once, then twice, as though she didn’t h

At that moment Tyler mother smiled slightly, but her tone didn’t soften. “Good. I want this event to be talked about for weeks. Mr. David and his people are not ordinary guests. They are coming as a show of respect, and we are going to return that respect with honor, elegance, and class.”Tyler’s expression grew more determined. “I’ve already started making calls. I’ll pull the best team together and make sure we don’t just meet expectations, we exceedthem.”She gave him one final nod. “That’s what I wanted to hear, but leave it to me.”**Evelyn seated beside her father in the middle of the quiet room. They weren’t saying anything, but their silence said enough. Both of them stared in the same direction, as if expecting something, or someone to finally appear. But there was nothing. Nothing was visible anymore. Not even the promise of what once was.Though her father seated tall beside her, Evelyn was distracted. Her phone was still in her hand, her eyes flickering down at the screen
Chapter 177
At that moment, Evelyn’s father and mother looked at each other, stunned into silence. The disbelief on their faces was unmistakable. Slowly, their eyes dropped back to the phone screen, as if somehow what they saw would change if they stared at it long enough. But it didn’t. The banner was still there bright, bold, and impossible to ignore.Below the banner was a promotional video. Tyler’s mother was speaking with grace and pride, thanking the community and inviting everyone to the event. The camera panned over the elegant exterior of the shop, polished floors, gold-lined signs, luxury cars parked out front everything screamed money, prestige, and power.“How… How is this even possible?” Evelyn’s mother muttered under her breath, taking a step back as if the phone had suddenly become something dangerous.Without being told, they both knew the kind of people who even dared to open a business on Z Street. It wasn’t just a commercial zone; it was a territory, a fortress of the elite. O
Chapter 178
Just a short while ago, they had sat comfortably in their home discussing how to maybe give Tyler and his mother a few handouts some leftover money or a small favor just to help them crawl back into society. Just some chicken change. That was all they were worth. In their eyes, Tyler’s family was nothing but castaways bridge rats, forgotten people living off scraps. And now Evelyn was telling them those same people were not only rising but opening a business in Z Street?Z Street the very thought shook them both to the core. Z Street wasn’t just any street, it was the lifeblood of high society. It was where the elite had their brands, where billionaires shook hands and contracts worth millions were exchanged over glasses of imported wine. Owning a business there wasn’t just about money. It was about power, legacy, and influence. It was something people worked their whole lives to achieve, and still failed. And now… Tyler? Tyler’s mother? Opening something there?Her father broke the s

At that moment, Victoria stood tall in front of Princess Naomi, her hands respectfully folded in front of her, her head slightly bowed. Her voice was steady, confident, yet laced with the weight of what she had just accomplished.“My lady,” Victoria began, lifting her gaze to meet Naomi’s piercing eyes, “the message has been delivered exactly as you instructed. Everything has been set in motion, just like you planned.”Princess Naomi’s expression remained unreadable, but there was a glimmer of curiosity behind her cold gaze.At that moment Victoria continued with pride, “Nathaniel Jr. and his family have been fully briefed on the matter. They are no longer in doubt. From the look in their eyes, from the way they responded, I could see it. They are not going to sit back and wait any longer. They want the king’s favor, and they are ready to fight for it. Ruthlessly.”Upon hearing what Victoria just said, Naomi tilted her head slightly, intrigued. Victoria took a breath and went on.“As
Chapter 180
At that moment Naomi exhaled lightly, fixing herself, then turned and walked out of the room. Her royal sandals echoed softly against the polished floors of the east wing as she made her way to the King’s council room. The guards stationed along the hallway bowed respectfully as she passed, but she gave them only a small nod in return, her mind too occupied to notice much else.Upon reaching the tall, intricately carved double doors, the guards opened them promptly. Naomi stepped in and immediately noticed that her younger sister, Princess Sophia, was already seated at the long wooden table. Sitting to the far left was Edda her father's long-time advisor and one of the most trusted voices in the palace.Naomi kept her posture graceful as always, walking silently to her place. As tradition dictated, she gave her father a slight bow before seating herself across from Sophia. Her eyes met her sister’s briefly. Sophia’s expression was unreadable calm, but guarded.The room fell into a m
