CHAPTER 211
The Aldridge family took Elena inside, still clinging to her as though afraid she might disappear again. Adrian and Sophia climbed back into their car They were so exhausted, and finally they could breathe.The Next MorningGolden light spilled into the Lancaster dining room.Adrian and Sophia sat at the long breakfast table, steam rising from their cups of coffee. Sophia’s eyes, however, were sharp with curiosity.“Adrian,” she said, setting down her cup. “Why is Clara only just starting school now? "She’s twelve already.”Adrian’s fork paused mid-air for a moment before resuming his food.“She was unwell before,” he said. “Too Fragile for the outside world. But now… she’s healed completely.”Sophia’s eyes widened slightly as she remembered how Adrian had been chasing some rare herbs.“That’s why you were searching for those rare herbs?” “And also, while you wanted the mind pulse so badly.”Adrian gave a slight nod.At that moment, light footsteps thundered down the staircase.Cla
CHAPTER 212
The smaller boy muttered something, but the bully snatched the strap of his bag and yanked it hard.“Look at this cheap bag!” he laughed. “What did you do, beg for it? Everyone knows your parents are poor. You’re only here because of some stupid scholarship. And even then you’ll never be one of us.”The boy’s face reddened, tears glistening in his eyes. He reached for his bag, but the bully shoved him to the ground, sending him sprawling across the gravel.A few kids nearby giggled nervously, while others looked away, pretending not to notice.The smaller boy gathered his courage and tried to fight back.He pushed himself off the ground and swung at the bully with trembling fists. “Leave me alone!” he shouted.But the bigger boy just let out a loud, mocking sound that drew more attention.He caught the smaller boy’s arm easily and shoved him again, harder this time. The boy hit the gravel with a sharp thud, and his books spilled from his bag.Clara’s breath caught, and her small fist
CHAPTER 213
The engines went silent one by one, and the air began to thicken with more tension.The doors of the sleek black cars swung open, and a convoy of uniformed drivers stepped out. Then a tall woman in a fitted designer suit and high heels stepped out.Her every step commanded attention. Her sunglasses glinted under the morning sun, and the diamond earrings in her ears flashed with authority.She carried a small lunchbox in her hand.“Mrs. Anderson!” The teacher gasped, nearly tripping over himself as he rushed forward. His hands fidgeted nervously. “Good morning, ma’am! I—uh—you forgot your son’s lunch?”“Yes,” she said coolly, her voice smooth and sharp as glass. “Ethan left it in the car.”Her eyes then narrowed. “What’s going on here?” she asked, her tone dangerous.Before the teacher could even open his mouth, Ethan stepped forward, tears filling his eyes—fake tears. “Mom!” he cried, pointing dramatically at Xavier. “That boy pushed me! He called me names! And that man...” he point
CHAPTER 214
Sophia’s car rolled through the second gate of Silvercrest Academy, escorted by two security guards who sprinted ahead to open the way.The school principal himself was already waiting at the entrance, mopping sweat from his brow with a folded handkerchief.The moment he saw her, his entire posture straightened.He almost folded into a bow.“Mrs. Aldridge!” he exclaimed, his voice almost trembling. “What an honor! Thank you for coming! I... I heard about your wedding, congratulations!”Sophia stepped out of the car with her usual quiet grace, her sunglasses catching the morning light. She didn’t bother to respond to him.“This way, please!” the principal said hastily, motioning toward the main building. He walked a step ahead of her, still talking rapidly. “We’ve been preparing for your visit for weeks, Mrs. Aldridge!”Sophia’s silence made him even more nervous.He led her into his office, pulling out the chair like a waiter in a royal dining hall. “Please, sit. Thank you again for
CHAPTER 215
Around them, voices rose. Parents whispered. Students watched with wide eyes. The bully puffed up at his mother’s side, smug and certain of victory. Xavier pressed his palms together like a child praying. The teacher’s face went white. “Mrs. Anderson, please—if this becomes public, the inspection could be canceled. We’ve worked for weeks..." Mrs. Anderson laughed, a hard, empty sound. “You think I care about a board? I run boards. I cut checks. I will burn this school to the ground if I don't get what I want.” She leaned forward, pointing a manicured finger at Adrian. “You will kneel. You will say sorry. Or I will rain hell on this school. Do you understand me?” The playground fell into a hush so complete it felt like the air itself held its breath. Even the wind seemed to stop. Adrian stood very still. His face was calm, but his eyes were cold. He did not move to kneel. He did not speak. The principal led Sophia down the polished corridor. “As you can see, Mrs. Aldridge,
CHAPTER 216
The principal’s face turned pale as Sophia’s sharp command hung in the air. “It’s not what it looks like, Mrs. Aldridge!” he stammered, his voice shaky. “There’s an explanation, I swear!” But Sophia was already moving.The principal stumbled after her, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.The corridor blurred past as she stormed toward the playground, the principal trailing like a nervous shadow. The school’s perfect facade cracked with every step. “What is going on here?” Sophia's voice cut through the tension. The principal and the teacher exchanged a quick, panicked glance. The teacher’s face went white as she knew her job was on the line. The principal's show was about to come crashing down just because she couldn't manage the situation.Mrs. Anderson, standing tall with a smug grin, glared at Sophia. “So, the woman you leech on is here,” she sneered, her tone dripping with venom.Adrian stepped forward, calm but firm. “I don’t think this school is a good one,” he said, h
CHAPTER 217
A long black bus slid to a stop behind him like a shadow. The doors hissed open.Men in black suits spilled out.They had the hardest expression.Some carried batons. A few had heavy tools tucked under their arms. The playground became silent.Mr. Anderson stepped down first.His aura exuded authority and danger.Mrs. Anderson rushed to him, breathless, pointing at Sophia and Adrian. “These are the people, Henry! They attacked our son! They assaulted me!” The principal pushed forward, panic written clear across his face. “Sir, please—they are guests. It was a misunderstanding. We can—”Anderson did not listen. He cut the man off with a single look and turned to his men.“Break their legs,” he ordered, quiet as a threat and twice as final. “Now.”The men moved like wolves, but Adrian didn’t flinch. The first man swung. Adrian met the blow with the heel of his hand and redirected the force. The man’s feet slid; with one clean motion Adrian sent him crashing to the ground. Another ma

Mrs. Anderson’s smile widened like a blade.“Don’t you worry,” she said, venom soft in her words. “You’ll be on your knees begging before the end of this day.”Mr. Andreson took out his phone and dialed the minister's number. He made sure to put the call on speaker so the whole playground could hear the authority he was about to unleash.“Hello, sir?” He grinned at Adrian when the voice answered. “It’s Senator Anderson. Someone is causing a scene at a school causing a public nuisance. Their behavior is unacceptable. You need to come, now.”A gruff voice crackled through the speaker. "What nonsense?!""Who do they think they are?!""I, the new minister, will not accept such rubbish!" “I just landed in Silver City. I’ll be there. Make sure they kneel before I get there”Mrs. Anderson’s grin split her face. She tucked the phone away and turned it so everyone heard. “You heard him, didn’t you? The minister’s on his way. When he arrives, you will be on your knees and begging. Do you unde
CHAPTER 219
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson hurried forward the moment the minister stepped out of the Rolls-Royce.“Minister!” Senator Anderson called, his voice dripping with fake respect. “Welcome, sir! I’m so sorry you have to witness this mess. You know I’ve always done what’s right for this city.”He shot Adrian a smug glance before continuing, his tone loud enough for everyone to hear. “This man here, he disrespected a public officer, insulted my family, and caused chaos in front of the children!”The minister immediately took off his shades to see who was causing a nuisance, and his eyes widened immediately when they fell on Adrian, who stood there calmly.It was the President of Rhein Group... He remembered when Adrian blessed him with the honour of giving him a house.Back then, he was just a manager, and now he has risen to become a minister, all because he was recommended by the President of Rhein Group.He could never have achieved this position in his wildest dreams!Mrs. Anderson jumped in,
CHAPTER 220
The Andersons froze and their pride cracked.Senator Anderson’s lips trembled. His wife’s eyes darted helplessly between her husband and the minister. The silence pressed down on them until it became unbearable.And then slowly and painfully, they dropped to their knees.Gasps rippled through the playground.Parents clutched their mouths. Students stared in disbelief. The powerful Senator and his proud wife knelt in the dirt before the man they had just called a nobody.Their heads bowed low. Their voices trembled. “W–We’re sorry, sir,” Senator Anderson stammered, sweat streaming down his temple. “We didn’t know who you were.”Mrs. Anderson’s voice cracked as she forced a fake smile. “We meant no harm, truly. Please forgive our… mistake.”Mr. Sylvester turned back to Adrian. “Mr. Lancaster, I sincerely apologize on their behalf. They acted out of ignorance. I take full responsibility for this. I am still getting used to this position.”He bowed again, voice low but steady. “Whatever
