CHAPTER 172
The very people who had just been laughing and tossing brutal insults at Lance were now bowing their heads, begging for mercy. They knew that one single phone call from Lance to the ruthless Selene could completely wipe their entire families and businesses off the face of the earth by midnight."Please, forgive us, sir!" a wealthy man sobbed from the floor. "We didn't know your true standing!"Lance looked down at the millionaires bowing to him, his expression entirely bored. "Get up," he said flatly. "There is no need for all of that."Georgia quickly dropped her gaze, looking up at Lance with a pleading smile. "Lance, please, forget everything we said before. We are family, after all! A mother can be harsh, but it's only out of love." She turned her head sharply, glaring at her other daughter. "Hurry up and apologize to him, Elena!"Elena stepped forward quickly, her legs shaking as she bowed her head. "I... I am so sorry, Lance. Please forgive my blindness."But Darren refused to b
CHAPTER 173
Georgia turned her back on Lance completely, adjusting her diamonds as if he no longer existed. She cleared her throat, addressing the wealthy crowd to salvage the night. "Please, everyone, let us ignore this garbage. Let's move inside to the grand dining hall for the main ceremony. It is getting late, and we have a celebration to attend to!The guests gladly turned away from Lance, whispering insults as they filed into the mansion's main ballroom.Inside, the grand hall was spectacular. A massive, towering birthday cake sat on the center stage. As the guests took their seats, they looked at Georgia with a completely new level of deep respect.It was true that the Sinclair family business was crumbling and on the verge of bankruptcy, but a direct recognition and a gift from the General himself? That changed everything. She had instantly become the most important topic of the entire region. It was almost impossible for a civilian family to get such an honor, and the crowd was already w
CHAPTER 174
"Mom!" Elena suddenly shouted, her voice trembling with excitement as she grabbed Georgia’s arm. "This is the exact opportunity we have been waiting for! This is a miracle!"The Sinclair family business was currently on the absolute verge of bankruptcy. Behind their expensive clothing and jewelry, they were desperately patching up their debts just to stay afloat."If we get this partnership," Elena continued, her eyes wide, "we will instantly become the biggest, richest, and most respected empire in the entire region!"Isabelle looked at the announcement. "It will be extremely hard, Elena. Thousands of massive companies from all over the world are going to be vying for that single spot. The competition will be brutal."Georgia scoffed loudly, waving her hand at Isabelle's caution. "We are the Sinclair family! We literally just received a priceless property gift from the General himself tonight! The General! What other sign do we possibly need? We clearly already have his favor."Darre
CHAPTER 175
Georgia and Elena leaned in to look. The official Astra Corp staff list was scrolling on the screen. Darren’s sister's name was completely missing."You lying piece of trash!" Darren yelled, his voice cracking as sweat began to bead on his forehead. "She still works there! This is just a glitch or a fake app!" He quickly pulled up his own phone, scrambling to find an old picture of his sister's corporate ID badge to show them. "See? Here is her official ID card! She is an executive!""If you think I am lying, you still have Selene's number on that key card," Lance countered, his expression completely relaxed. "Why don't you text her right now and ask her directly if Darren's sister still works at Astra Corp?"Isabelle looked at Darren's nervous face and then at her mother. "That's actually true, Mom. There is no harm in asking. If Darren is telling the truth, a quick text will prove it."Darren’s heart began to hammer against his ribs. Deep down, he was sweating profusely, knowing his
CHAPTER 176
Georgia looked around the table, her expression stone-cold and dead serious. "Yes. It does not matter who does it. Whoever successfully saves the Sinclair family from total bankruptcy deserves to lead it."The heavy statement hung in the air throughout the party. None of the Sinclairs could even focus on the music or the drinks anymore. Their minds were racing with thoughts of power, greed, and the ultimate crown of the family business.When the ceremony finally ended, the grand hall emptied, and they all drove back home. Inside their modest house, far away from the judging eyes of high society, Lance turned to Isabelle. He watched her gently put little Henry to bed before walking out into the living room, her face tight with worry."Isabelle," Lance asked softly, leaning against the doorframe. "Are you going to try? Are you going to submit a proposal and get Astra Corp to partner with the Sinclair family?"Isabelle stopped and laughed, then she shook her head. "Me? Lance, be realisti
CHAPTER 177
The secretary tried desperately to calm her down, raising her hands. "Please, ma'am, calm down. Those are just the strict security rules of Astra Corp. No one passes without an appointment.""Fine! I will call her right now and have her personally come down here to fire you!" Elena sneered.She whipped out her phone and furiously dialed the emergency number that had been printed on the smart-key box from the night before. She placed it to her ear, waiting to gloat.“The number you have dialed does not exist. Please check the number and try again.”Elena’s face flushed with confusion. She had absolutely no idea that a high-ranking military operative like Selene changed her private communication encryption numbers frequently for security reasons."What?" Elena muttered, sweat breaking out under her makeup. She dialed the number again, but the automated operator gave the same cold response. The number did not exist.Seeing Elena’s sudden hesitation, the receptionist spoke up firmly. "Ma'
CHAPTER 178
The receptionist’s face instantly twisted into a furious frown. The nerve of this family! First, the younger sister comes in and attacks her, and now the older sister is standing right in front of her desk!"If you know what is good for you, you had better leave this building right now!" the receptionist hissed, leaning forward. "Your sister came in here less than twenty minutes ago and caused a huge, disgusting scene. She was screaming, throwing a tantrum, and she even slapped me across the face!""O,h my god..." Isabelle whispered, her hand flying to her mouth in absolute horror. She knew Elena was arrogant, but she never imagined she would do something like this."Madam Selene is absolutely furious right now," the secretary warned, shaking her head. "I am entirely sure that if she sees your face—a face that looks exactly like the woman who just insulted her—she will order her Elite Guards to lock you up in a military holding cell. Run along before things get ugly."Fear immediately
CHAPTER 179
Instantly, a dozen neatly dressed service staff rushed over in a panic. Two women immediately and gently collected Isabelle’s handbag, holding it with gloved hands as if it were made of solid gold."This way, please, ma," the secretary said, her voice shaking violently as she personally bowed and gestured toward the secure corridor.The onlookers and wealthy businessmen lounging in the lobby watched in absolute, stunned silence. They gasped as the staff escorted this simply dressed woman past all security checkpoints, leading her directly to the ultra-private gold elevator, an elevator strictly reserved for only the General and Selene themselves.Isabelle’s head was spinning. When the elevator doors finally chimed and opened on the top floor, she felt like she was living inside a dream.Standing right there in the hallway, waiting for her, was Selene herself. The second-in-command of the entire military and corporate region was holding the heavy double doors of her private office wide
CHAPTER 180
"Really?!" Isabelle muttered in absolute shock. Tears of relief almost sprang to her eyes. She had no idea that her quiet husband, Lance, was the very General who would be reviewing it. Selene, knowing the General’s strict orders to keep his identity hidden from his family for their own safety, knew it was not her place to tell her the truth just yet.Isabelle honestly could not believe her luck. She thought back to just twenty minutes ago, when she was standing terrified outside the gates, almost turning away."Thank you so much, Selene," Isabelle said, her voice cracking with deep emotion. "You have absolutely no idea how much this means to me. My family is on the very verge of bankruptcy, and this is our last hope. I really, really appreciate your kindness."Selene’s eyes widened slightly in panic, and she quickly waved her hands. "Oh, it is absolutely no problem at all, ma'am! Please... uhm..." Selene cleared her throat, looking slightly nervous. "Please don't mention to your husb
CHAPTER 181
She sat alone in the quiet vehicle, feeling a deep, suffocating sense of shame and disgrace. Trembling, she pulled down the car’s front visor mirror to look at the horrific damage on her face. Her left cheek was completely swollen, painted in deep purple and blue bruises, and a thick white bandage covered the gap where her three front teeth used to be. Tears of humiliation pricked her eyes. She took a deep, shaky breath, put the car in drive, and headed inside the mansion.The moment she stepped through the grand front doors, Georgia and several other family members who had been loitering around the living room immediately swarmed her."Elena! Oh my god, what happened to your face?!" Georgia cried out in horror, her hands flying to her mouth. "We have been waiting for you since this morning! Who did this to you?!"Georgia reached out, trying to gently touch her daughter's bruised cheek, but Elena flinched back violently. "Ouch! Don't touch it, Mom!"Elena quickly swallowed her pride,
