Chapter 1
“Your daughter has a fractured skull and worsening intracranial bleeding. Surgery must be done before noon today!” “The operation costs one million dollars. I don’t care if you go through insurance or pay directly—everything must be settled by 10 a.m., or the patient won’t survive.” The doctor’s words hit Logan Brooks like a sledgehammer. His vision spun, his knees buckled, and he nearly collapsed on the floor. Dragging his heavy steps, he walked into the hospital ward. Logan’s eyes were red as he stared at his daughter, Chloe, lying motionless in the emergency pod, her tiny body covered in tubes. She had just turned three. Her pale little face was as pale as a ghost—like a shattered porcelain doll, her breathing faint, barely hanging on to life. This morning, when he and his wife left home, Chloe had been perfectly fine. Not even an hour had passed before the nanny called, screaming that Chloe had fallen from the third floor. She was so little… falling from such a height

“Young Master Brooks, is that you?” came the familiar, deep voice on the line.Logan’s hand trembled slightly. “It’s me. I was just about to call you.”“Oh, really? That’s perfect. Where are you right now, Young Master?”“Vermil Hospital, Elleville City.”“Wait right there. I’m on my way!”Thirty minutes later, a clearly expensive private helicopter came to a halt on the hospital car park.Out stepped a man in a black suit, slightly graying at the temples, yet tall and commanding in presence.It was Felix Graves, the chief butler of the Brooks family.Everyone in the hospital turned to look as he walked in with the firece-looking guards that surrounded him.Felix quickly found Logan.“Felix Graves, at your service, Young Master Brooks,” he said with a deep bow.Logan frowned at the gesture. “We’re in the public—drop the theatrics.”“Yes, Young Master. I’m just glad you finally answered my call. Your father will be pleased. Oh, and—happy early birthday. Your father has already transf

Divorce?The word rang in Logan’s ears like a slap.How come? Charlotte and he had been a loving couple.Why would she suddenly agree to divorce?Barbara must be lying!Logan jumped into a cab, his thoughts spiraling. Ten minutes later, he stormed into their modest home.Almost immediately, he saw his mother-in-law Barbara, and a young man that he had never seen before, lounging arrogantly on his couch.The unfamiliar man was impeccably dressed, and wearing a luxury wristband—his outfit alone was easily worth over a million.The moment Barbara spotted Logan, her face lit up and her smile turned venomous.She scolded, “Oh, finally! The deadbeat arrives. Hurry up and sign the divorce papers!”However, Logan ingnored Barbara’s words entirely.He looked up at the unfamiliar man and asked coldly, “May I know who this is?”“You fool, don’t you know who Mr Liam Hayes is? He is the Chief Operating Officer of Rhine Corporation, the most renowned powerhouse conglomerate in Elleville.” “He ea

Ignoring Liam and Barbara, who were both stunned at the spot, Logan clutched the divorce papers, turned and rushed up the stairs to look for Charlotte.As soon as Logan stepped into their bedroom, Logan’s expression softened, filled with sorrow. Charlotte was curled up on the bed with her shoulders shaking with quiet sobs.“Charlotte ... what’s going on with this divorce papers? Do you really want to leave me ... and our sweet baby Chloe?” He asked in a low voice, walking up and pulling her into his arms.Upon hearing Logan’s question, Charlotte broke down right away, pouring out her emotions.“Logan, I had no choice...”“If I refused, my mother wouldn’t give me a single cent. And I couldn’t just stand by and watch us lose Chloe.” Her voice cracked at the mention of their daughter’s name. “I thought… if I played along with her plan, I could at least protect our child.”“I planned to explain everything to you afterward,” she sobbed.“As for Liam ... I didn’t know he was coming. Mom

“Mom—!”Charlotte froze in shoke. Sadness settled in her eyes. And her heart shattered with pain.Little bastard daughter?! Chloe was her daughter too! Barbara’s granddaughter! How could she say such a thing?Logan gently squeezed Charlotte’s hand to comfort her. He wasn’t surprised at Barbara’s harsh insulting words because he already knew she ditested his baby girl. He didn’t even look at Barbara or Liam. Instead, he calmly took out the divorce agreement and pulled out a lighter from his pocket.He took a deep breath.And with a flick of his thumb, the flame ignited. He lit the papers calmly and determined, as if burning away all the humiliation and resentment he had endured under the Sullivan’s roof.The divorce papers quickly turned to ash.Along with it, the invisible chains that had held Logan down were also incinerated. He felt free at last. From today onwards, he would endure no more.Barbara and Liam stared in stunned disbelief.How dared this bastard?!Logan ignored t
Chapter 6
Logan decided to take over the Rhine Corporation soon.Now that he was going to wield enough influence, he'd secure Charlotte’s place as the unshakable CEO of Elysian Bloom.His wife, Charlotte, had endured the harsh treatment of the cold-hearted Sullivan family board long enough.Despite her unwavering loyalty, sharp leadership, and clear vision, they refused to recognize her true worth.Now, no one would dare belittle her again and their daughter would grow up in a world where her mother was respected, not scorned.Logan swore inwardly.That night, while Logan sat in his study strategizing their next corporate move, Charlotte remained at Vermil Hospital, silently keeping vigil by their daughter Chloe’s bedside as she lay unconscious after a grueling—but half successful—surgery.According to the doctor, Chloe would remain unconscious for quite a long time.The good news, however, was that Chloe still had a big chance of making a full recovery.For Logan and Charlotte, this was a smal
Chapter 7
However, his grin vanished instantly when he saw several burly men in black outside his door.“What the hell—?! Who the fuck are you?!” He paled.“You can call me ... Mr Judgement,” Logan sneered coldly.Then he raised his leg and kicked Liam hard, sending him sprawling backward into the room.Behind him, Kane waved his hand, and in a flash, the seven bodyguards charged in and quickly subdued Liam, whose butt was exposed to the air.“The end of the world isn’t here yet! What the hell are you judging? Do you know who I am?! I’m Liam Hayes of Rhine Corporation! Offending me will be the last thing you ever do!”Liam snarled in panic.“I don’t care about the end of the world for others—but your world ending? That’s my business. And of course, I know who you are. Liam Hayes of Rhine Corporation — I came here exactly for you.”Logan stepped into the room with his silver mask gleaming beneath the golden light. He had deliberately turned the voice changer down several levels. And obviously,

“Sorry, wrong. It’s a hundred and ninety seven.” SLAP! One of the Shadow Guards immediately slapped Liam hard across the face. Meanwhile, Logan snapped his fingers and tapped a few times, then turned it toward Liam. “Your private yacht. Now belongs to me!” Liam helplessly swallowed the pain. The $5 million private yacht ... he had only bought it last month. Now gone! Before he could drop to his knees and beg, Logan had already moved on to his next question. “Who is the last woman you slep with and what did you do to her next?” “Anna Kreel, my best friend’s youngest daughter,” Liam blurted. “She threatened to go to the press—I fucked her to death. And faked her death.” “I promise I’m telling the truth this time. You can’t punish m—” However... SLAP! Another slap landed on Liam’s face—this one so brutal two teeth flew out of his mouth. “U...un...unfair! Didn’t I say the truth?” Liam yelled in pain, protesting. “You know what? You’re a real devil! That poor girl was
Chapter 9
Pain coursed through Liam’s body as he slowly regained consciousness. His head throbbed, and his jaw ached from Logan’s final blow.The memory of what happened still terrified him.But at least, the nightmare was over—he had finally seen that masked devil off.Groggily sitting up, he noticed his phone buzzing nonstop—flooded with notifications.BANK ACCOUNT FROZEN DUE TO CREDIT ISSUES.ASSET SEIZED: SUNCREST ESTATE.ASSET SEIZED: HAYES YACHTS.ASSET SEIZED: LUX MOTORS.“No… no… this can’t be happening!” he bellowed, almost passing out on the spot.All his accounts frozen?Not a cent left?Even his villas and luxury vehicles gone?Ah! It must be that masked devil! He did it all!Liam attempted to stand but collapsed hard against the wall.The sudden pain was unbearable!He wanted revenge but the pain reminded him how mysterious and powerful the masked man was.He didn’t dare.Looking in the mirror, Liam’s swollen face was a horrifying mess.How would he be able to show up like this at
Chapter 10
“What I do is none of your business,” Logan said coldly.He didn’t like this woman.Ava had always treated him like dirt.Just as he walked past her, hoping to avoid another pointless confrontation, Ava stepped forward, blocking his way.“Piss off, won’t you?” she mocked. “You think someone like you can get inside Rhine Group? I know Charlotte’s trying to secure a partnership with them, but ALAS — Mr Hayes already promised that deal to me.”“And when I take it, Charlotte’s days as CEO at Elysian Bloom will be numbered.”"Watch your wife’s empire crumble from the sidelines, you peasant!"Logan stared at her, his eyes cold and motionless. “You know what? You’re a perfect illustration of a rotten brain with wild dreams.”The third branch of the Sullivan family had always looked down on Charlotte and him. There was no warmth between kin—only cold, calculating greediness.“Fuck off!” Feeling unease under Logan’s cold gaze, Ava took a big step back and snapped。“You damn bum. Useless tra
