"Who are you talking about, sir? I didn’t know you had a sister.” Miranda tried to smile politely, but cold sweat soaked her forehead.“Are you stupid or just naive? How could you lead your family company with a brain like that? No wonder your company is developing so slowly,” the man sneered, his fists clenched tightly.“Calm down. I’m fine.” Luna smiled while gently rubbing the man’s muscular arm.Miranda’s eyes widened.Could Luna be Aaron Hale’s sister? How was that even possible?“Y-you… you’re Mr. Hale’s sister?” Miranda stammered. What had she done? Hale Corp ranked as the second richest company in the United States. She had just offended someone who could easily make her company rise even higher.Luna bit her lip, unsure how to answer. She did not feel worthy of calling herself Aaron’s sister since they were not related by blood.“That’s right!” Aaron lifted his chin, his posture intimidating. “Now kneel down and apologize to Luna, or I’ll destroy your company!”Miranda trembl

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

The auction had begun. The host stepped onto the stage, his face pale and his movements stiff.“We apologize, ladies and gentlemen. This event has been forced to stop.”“What?!”Shouts of dissatisfaction erupted throughout the hall.“What’s going on?”“How dare you waste our time? We made the effort to come here!”“I apologize in advance. However, the necklace that was supposed to be auctioned has already been purchased before the event began.”Everyone exchanged confused looks.“That person paid ten times the original price.”Hysterical gasps echoed through the room. The necklace was already worth a fortune, yet someone had paid ten times more?“Who bought it?” an elderly man in a black tuxedo asked tensely.“Mr. Christopher.”Shock spread across the guests’ faces, except for Aaron.“That man really is something, isn’t he?” Aaron chuckled. “So rich that he’d rather pay ten times the price than bother competing with others. Besides, who could possibly offer more than that?”“Then wher

“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

Zane drove his modified car, disguised to look like an ordinary taxi.“Did you manage to do it?” Zane asked with a crooked grin over the phone.“Of course, Mr. Christopher. I have imprisoned Mila and Danzel,” Louis replied politely.“Good. If Bobby hadn’t told me about Mila’s evil plan, Luna might have been in danger. I’ll thank him later.”The call ended. Zane stepped out of the car when he arrived at the orphanage. The moment he entered, his steps froze. Luna’s hysterical scream echoed from Maria’s room.Zane rushed inside and found Maria collapsed on the floor in Luna’s arms. He hurried to his sister’s side. “What happened to Mom?”Through tears, Luna shook her head. “I don’t know either, Zane. Mommy was already unconscious when I got back from the auction.”Zane growled in rage. “We have to take her to the hospital.”He lifted Maria into his arms and put her into the car, driving at full speed, even running red lights. When they arrived at the hospital, Dahlia hurried to greet him

“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

Donald’s rage boiled over when he saw Gianna sitting on the floor, her legs soaked in blood.“What did you do to my fiancée?” Donald growled.“Why don’t you ask your fiancée yourself? Doesn’t she have a mouth?” Zane challenged him without fear.Donald clenched his fists tightly. No one had ever dared to speak to him like that before.“You’re going to die.” Donald lunged forward at lightning speed, launching a lethal punch. Zane caught it effortlessly.“Is this all the strength of Ragnor’s son?” Zane sneered. “You’re just as weak as your father.”“You bastard! How dare you insult my father!” Donald spun his body and delivered a roundhouse kick aimed at Zane’s neck, trying to take him down. But Zane caught it easily and crushed Donald’s ankle, forcing the joint out of place.“Argh!” Donald yanked his leg back, screaming in pain.“Now do you understand why you’re not worthy of becoming a general candidate? You’re weak. You should leave, because this has nothing to do with you,” Zane warn
Chapter 178
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

“Why did you surround my hospital?” Bobby glared at Ragnor in irritation. They were sitting inside the VIP room reserved for the hospital’s top executives.“I only have a short matter to deal with here. I promise it won’t take long.” Ragnor’s voice was cold, but his tone remained polite. He did not want to cause trouble with Zane by provoking Bobby.Who would have thought that the bastard who killed his grandson was hiding inside a hospital owned by Elipson Corp? If he had known earlier, he would have acted more cautiously.“Please don’t tell Mr. Christopher about this,” Ragnor requested.“What’s really going on?” Bobby suddenly grew curious.“My grandson’s killer is here, so I had no choice but to surround this place.”Bobby’s irritation deepened. He remembered the moment his own child nearly died. “Don’t worry. I support you.”“Thank you.”***Dominic slammed his fist onto his desk, making his secretary tremble.“Damn it! Which bastard dared to blow up my office and injure my son?!”

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
