CHAPTER 157 PART 1
"Well?" Frederick pressed, his voice smooth as silk but cold as ice. "I'm waiting for your answer, Miss Brennan. Dinner tonight, or—""Alicia!"Everyone turned toward the doorway where Dawn stood, her face flushed with worry. But she wasn't alone. Behind her, tall and composed, stood Pervis Tyler.Alicia's eyes widened in shock. "Dawn? Pervis? What are you doing here?"Dawn rushed forward, relief washing over her features. "Thank God! I was worried sick when you didn't come back. The noise stopped, but you were gone for so long, and I—" She glanced nervously at the construction workers and Frederick. "I didn't want to come alone, so I called Pervis."Pervis stepped into the construction area, his eyes immediately sweeping the scene—taking in Alicia's tense posture, the smirking workers, and the well-dressed man standing far too close to her."I came as soon as Dawn called," Pervis said calmly, moving to stand beside Alicia. "Is everything alright?"Frederick's expression shifted, his

Frederick's amusement faded slightly. There was something in Pervis's tone that didn't match his modest appearance. "Excuse me?""I said that's enough," Pervis repeated. "You're not going to extort Miss Brennan. Your workers will reduce their noise out of basic human decency, not because of some disgusting quid pro quo arrangement you've concocted."Frederick's face hardened. "And who are you to tell me what I will or won't do?""Someone who won't stand by and watch you harass women," Pervis replied evenly."Harass?" Frederick's voice turned icy. "Choose your words carefully, friend. Slander is actionable, and I have very expensive lawyers.""It's only slander if it's false," Pervis countered.Rick and Danny moved closer, flanking Frederick like guard dogs. The gray-haired worker had stepped back, clearly wanting no part of whatever was about to happen."You've got some nerve," Rick growled at Pervis. "Talking to Lord Frederick like that. You're nothing but a parasite, feeding off his
CHAPTER 158 PART 1
Chapter 156Alicia felt the world tilt beneath her feet. Frederick's words—crude, explicit, degrading—hung in the air like toxic fumes. She couldn't breathe properly, couldn't think straight. The man was essentially asking her to sell herself to him.Dawn's face had gone pale, then red with fury. "You absolute piece of—""Choose your next words very carefully," Frederick warned, his voice silky smooth but carrying an unmistakable threat.Alicia found her voice, though it trembled. "No."Frederick's eyebrows rose. "No?""No," Alicia repeated, stronger this time. "I won't agree to your disgusting proposal. I'd rather—""Rather what?" Frederick interrupted, his smile fading into something much colder. "Rather watch your mother suffer? Rather see her surgery delayed while hospital administrators investigate 'concerns' about the funding source? Rather risk her health because of your pride?""It's not pride," Alicia shot back, her voice shaking with emotion. "It's called self-respect. Somet
CHAPTER 158 PART 2
Frederick's face turned an alarming shade of purple. "How dare you! The Ashford family has built hospitals! Funded charities! We're pillars of society!""Pillars built on exploitation, apparently," Pervis replied."You insignificant worm!" Frederick shrieked, all pretense of sophistication gone now. "I could buy and sell you a thousand times over! Your entire existence is worth less than the shoes I'm wearing! You're garbage! Trash! A roach that needs to be crushed!""Are you finished?" Pervis asked mildly.Frederick was breathing hard, his chest heaving with rage. "Finished? I haven't even started! When I'm done with you, you'll wish you'd never been born! The Ashford family doesn't forget insults! We don't forgive slights! You and your little friends here are going to learn what it means to cross us!"Alicia watched in amazement as Pervis remained completely calm despite Frederick's tirade. There was something almost otherworldly about his composure."Rick! Danny!" Frederick barked,
CHAPTER 159 PART 1
Isabella's eyes suddenly widened in recognition as she stared at Pervis. Her cheerful expression melted away, replaced by shock and then unmistakable fury."You!" she gasped, her voice rising sharply. "You're that man from the other night!"Frederick's eyebrows shot up despite his current predicament. "You know this nobody?""Know him?" Isabella's voice became shrill. "Know him? Freddy, this is the absolute parasite who humiliated me at that charity gala! The one I told you about!"Pervis's expression remained neutral, though his grip on Frederick's wrist didn't loosen. Alicia and Dawn exchanged confused glances.Isabella stepped forward, her designer heels clicking angrily against the concrete floor. "This disgusting bottom-feeder crashed the Westmore Foundation gala—you know, the one for cancer research? He somehow snuck in wearing some cheap rental tux that probably came from Goodwill!""Isabella—" Pervis started calmly."Don't you dare speak to me!" Isabella shrieked, her face flu
CHAPTER 159 PART 2
"I know everything I need to know!" Isabella interrupted. "You're defending this parasite, which means you're just as worthless as he is! Birds of a feather, as they say. Garbage attracts garbage!"Frederick chuckled darkly. "Isabella, darling, it seems you've had quite the encounter with this nobody. And now here he is, assaulting me in my own construction site.""Assaulting you?" Isabella's eyes went wide. "Freddy, are you serious? This roach put his hands on you?""He's holding my wrist right now," Frederick said, trying again to pull free but failing. "Refuses to let go despite my warnings about who I am and what my family can do."Isabella's face contorted with rage. "How dare he! Freddy, you need to have him arrested immediately! Call the police! Have him thrown in jail where parasites like him belong!""Oh, I intend to do much more than that," Frederick said coldly, his eyes locked on Pervis. "After what you've just told me, I'm going to make sure this fraud never shows his fac
CHAPTER 160 PART 1
Alicia stood behind Pervis, her mind racing through a thousand terrible scenarios. Six trained men. Former military. She'd heard stories about what security teams like that could do when given free rein. Her hands were trembling, and she clasped them together to hide it.The royal family. Frederick had mentioned it so casually, like it was just another card in his deck. But royalty—even in modern America where such titles were more ceremonial than legal—carried weight. Connections. Resources. The kind of power that could make people disappear or destroy lives with a few phone calls.What if Pervis was in over his head? What if his calm confidence was just bravado masking the fact that he had no idea what he was really facing?Dawn leaned close to Alicia, her voice barely a whisper. "Alicia, does Pervis know what he's doing?"Alicia glanced at her cousin, seeing her own fear reflected there. "I... I don't know.""This is the royal family," Dawn hissed urgently, tugging at Alicia's slee
CHAPTER 160 PART 2
Frederick's eyes slid to her, cold and unbothered. "I'm practical. Your friend here made a very poor choice in antagonizing me. Now he pays the price. But I'm offering him a way to reduce that price. All it costs is a little dignity." He smiled. "Though I suppose dignity is a luxury people like him can't afford anyway.""Freddy's being incredibly generous," Isabella added. "If it were up to me, I'd have Blake break every bone in his body regardless. After what he did at the gala, he deserves far worse than just barking like a dog."Rick chuckled darkly. "I'd pay to see that. This punk crawling and barking.""Record it," Danny suggested to Is
CHAPTER 161 PART 1
Frederick's phone buzzed in his pocket, the vibration loud in the tense silence. He pulled it out, glanced at the screen, and smiled triumphantly."Ah, perfect timing," he said, showing the phone to Isabella. "It's Blake. He's probably calling to confirm he's arrived." He pressed the answer button and raised the phone to his ear. "Blake? Yes, I'm still—"He stopped mid-sentence, his expression shifting from confidence to confusion."What? No, I— Blake, slow down. What are you talking about?"Isabella watched Frederick's face, then turned to sneer at Pervis. "You see that? That's the sound of real power arriving. Blake and his team are here, and you're about to learn what happens when parasites like you—""Shut up, Isabella," Frederick snapped, pressing the phone harder against his ear. His face had gone pale. "Blake, that doesn't make any sense. Who called you? What do you mean you've been reassigned?"Isabella's sneer faltered slightly. "Freddy? What's wrong?"Frederick ignored her,
CHAPTER 161 PART 2
Alicia watched in stunned fascination as Isabella's entire demeanor crumbled. The arrogant, sneering woman who had been mocking them moments ago now looked like she might faint."I understand," Isabella whispered into the phone, tears beginning to stream down her carefully made-up face. "Yes, Grandfather. I— I'm sorry, Grandfather. Please, I—" She pulled the phone away from her ear, staring at it with an expression of absolute devastation. "He hung up.""What did he say?" Frederick demanded.Isabella's mouth opened and closed several times before words came out. "He said... he said three of our major contracts were just terminated. No warning. No explanation. Just... ended.""What?" Frederick's voice was sharp. "That's impossible!""And the Riverside Foundation—the one we've been trying to get on the board of for years—they just called and said our application has been rejected," Isabella continued, her voice hollow. "And the banks... the banks are calling in our short-term loans. All
