Miranda collapsed onto the cold marble floor, her expensive gown in disarray. Her eyes were wide, her breathing ragged, as if the world had just caved in on her head.Her father had truly cast her out.All because of Luna.No. This made no sense. Miranda looked around, hoping this was nothing more than a cruel performance meant to frighten her. But the icy gaze of Archer Everest, her own father, was sharper than the slap that had just landed on her cheek.How did Christopher know?How could he possibly know that Miranda had just hurled vile insults at Luna?Miranda’s blood ran cold. Panic sent her thoughts spinning. Had Aaron told him?“Drag her out,” Archer said flatly, without a trace of emotion. “Take all her credit cards, her car keys, and every piece of jewelry she’s wearing. She is not to take a single cent of the Everest family’s wealth out of this house.”“Daddy!” Miranda crawled forward and clutched Archer’s leg in desperation. “Please… don’t do this! I didn’t know Luna was A

“You think I’d be scared of your empty threats, Mr. Christopher?” Danzel let out a cold chuckle. He slowly pulled out his phone, as if deliberately putting his authority on display. “You may have money. But Mr. Johnson has everything. Including the power to wipe you out overnight.”Mila lifted her chin as well, growing slightly more confident. The name Johnson had always been their talisman. Until now, anyone who heard it would immediately back down.Danzel dialed Johnson’s private number and turned on the loudspeaker. He wanted Christopher to hear it. He wanted the world to know who truly stood at the top of the food chain.“Hello?” The voice on the other end sounded hoarse and chaotic.“Kenny, where is Mr. Johnson?” Danzel’s tone was relaxed, almost mocking. “I’m having a bit of trouble with someone. Tell Johnson I need his help.”Danzel’s gaze locked onto Louis, filled with victory and disdain.“Danzel… so you haven’t heard the news yet?” Kenny’s voice trembled.Danzel frowned. The

“What about Maria’s investment money? Has it made a profit yet, honey?” Victor smiled at his wife.“Of course it has.”“That old woman demanded her money and the profit back. As if. Luna received a huge payoff from Christopher and Anonymous, even became the CEO of Vance Corp, yet they completely forgot about us. Let this be our payback.”“You’re right. We have been barely surviving ever since I was fired from Fallon Corp, and they never cared about us at all.” Penelope snorted in annoyance.“I’ll take the money. We are rich now. No need to work ourselves to the bone anymore.”“I want to move into a more luxurious apartment, darling.” Penelope said sweetly. “I want to show off to those friends who used to mock us.”Bang!Penelope and Victor froze in shock as someone barged in.“Zane?” Victor glared furiously. “How dare you break in and destroy my door!”Zane grabbed Victor by the collar. “Answer me honestly. Did you really scam my mother?”Victor let out a wicked laugh. “Did that old w

Zane entered Maria’s hospital room. He found his mother already awake, chatting quietly with Luna.Guilt flooded Zane’s chest. He could not use his abilities on Maria. It would only raise suspicion. Besides, Zane had never studied medicine.“Zane…” Maria smiled faintly.“How are you feeling, Mom?” Zane returned her smile.“I’m fine, dear. But you shouldn’t have brought me to this hospital. How are we going to pay for it later?” Maria’s face grew paler as she spoke.Zane’s smile faded. Maria must have been worried because Victor had already taken all her savings.“You don’t need to think about that. The owner of this hospital is an acquaintance of mine.”Luna looked at Zane with hesitation. She knew her brother was only trying to reassure Maria.“Really?” Maria was startled, clearly doubtful. “How could you be friends with the owner of this hospital? This is one of the largest hospitals in the United States.”Zane smiled gently. “I once helped him when he was being robbed on the street

Ragnor’s eyes widened the moment he saw Zane. So it was Zane who had killed his grandson? But why? The boy had never once defied Zane’s orders.Ragnor’s hands curled into tight fists. He was caught in a brutal dilemma. Even if Zane was in the wrong, who in this world would dare lay a finger on him?“Why are you just standing there, General? Go ahead and kill the bastard who murdered your grandson!” Victor shouted gleefully, like a man who had finally sunk his teeth into prey.Zane locked eyes with Ragnor without saying a word. The towering man, built like a war machine, stood frozen in disbelief. Even if Ragnor would not dare punish him, the guilt still hung in the air.“General, forgive me.” Zane lowered his head with formal restraint. “I never intended to hurt your grandson. But Gianna interfered and dragged herself into trouble.”Ragnor’s expression did not change. He stepped closer with steady strides. An oppressive aura filled the entire room.Victor grinned in satisfaction. He r
