"Let him go!" A deep, thunderous voice sliced through the air, resonating heavily in the room. Logan stepped forward to stop the muscular man from strangling the other guy to death. “ I don't repeat myself,” Logan stated with a calm voice. “ Or what?!” The muscular man sized Logan with his eyes and burst into a round of laughter, his chest jerking with him. “ Will you also strangle me like I am doing to this chicken?!” Logan's thin figure had underestimated the former, believing a punch from him was all it took! “ Get lost slim squid!” He snapped at Logan and disregarded, not wanting to bother with someone who wouldn't be able to bring him down. At the same time, Tony and Isabelle turned to William and asked with a worried expression, “ Uhm, shouldn't we do something? Or are we just going to stand here and watch?” Before William could respond, Chen spoke up, striding forward, “ I got this.” Hearing this, William, Tony, and Isabelle could only choose to trust Chen.

“You!” Tom’s voice cracked like a whip the moment he saw Amelia step in........... His finger pointed at her, shaking with fury. “This is your doing. If you had not stood in front of cameras with that foolish press conference, no one would have dug deeper into us. You’ve dragged the Blackwoods into ruin!” Amelia’s heart sank. Her lips parted in disbelief. “That’s not true,” she said quickly, her voice rising. “I did what I thought was right. I wanted to protect us, to show strength. Dad, how can you blame me for this? I………..” “Protect?” Tom cut her off with a bitter laugh that carried no joy. “You call this protection? Look around you. Our name is in shambles. They are mocking us! . You’ve brought nothing but shame to this family, Amelia.” Her eyes stung, but she refused to back down. “I acted with good intentions. I wanted to shield us from worse. I gave everything I had, and now you put all of this on me? That’s not fair!” Tom’s glare only deepened. “Fair? From the mome

Tom stormed down the corridor, his footsteps echoing with rage. When he reached the ward where Amelia was, he flung the door open without hesitation. Inside, Amelia had already woken. Her face was pale, her hair loose and messy, her whole appearance worn and fragile. She sat on the bed, leaning against the pillow, her eyes still heavy from the very shock that had knocked her out. Still, no one knew what exactly it was. Damien stood beside her, his hand on her shoulder, his posture protective, almost tender. The sight only deepened Tom’s fury. The image of his son standing as a shield for a woman he despised was unbearable. His teeth clenched. For a moment he thought of unleashing his anger on Amelia, but he stopped himself. He could not bring himself to strike a woman. Instead, his palm swung toward Damien. The slap landed hard. Damien stumbled back, his cheek twitching in pain, but he didn't dare retaliate. His eyes darkened, yet he kept his silence. “Enough of this no

The moment the warden mentioned this, the three female inmates released Juliet from their grip, shoving her aside.With a disdainful sneer, they looked down at Juliet and spun around to face the warden staring at them expressionlessly. Juliet exhaled loudly, patting her chest as she raised her head. Relief washed over her like a tide. That was so close! She quickly wanted to complain and thought the warden had come to save her, so she crawled forward. To her dismay, the warden didn't spare her a glance but only gazed at the three other inmates. “ Your parents are waiting for you,” he reminded and without any additional word, he turned to take his leave. Something about the warden’s expression told Juliet that the three female inmates were feared not only by the other inmates but also by the prison wardens. How was that even possible? Logically, the warden should have warned or dealt with the bullies but there was nothing like that. “ Don’t think too much, junior peasant,

Her words sure cut deep into Carlos, as he scowled, his mouth setting in hard lines Faced with this kind of situation, Carlos could only complain inwardly, promising himself that he would make Logan experience what was worse than this. “ Samantha, do you have to be this heartless?” James couldn't hold back and retorted, frowning. He knew what Carlos had gone through before the latter could get back his self confidence again, even going miles just to find something to please Samantha. However, this was not the result they were expecting. Samantha’s face twisted, casting a cold glance at James like he was nothing but a peasant. With this, James immediately became mute, knowing his family was beneath anything about the Mayor, especially the prodigy daughter. “ Heartless you say?” Samantha made a throaty chuckle and shook her head. “ It seems I am already entertaining you two longer than you're worth it.” Hearing her, Carlos’s eyes dilated with gloom before turning back an
