Adam stared at their retreating backs, his expression blank, his gaze icy. His phone rang.Kai.Adam answered. "Report."Kai's voice came through, steady and calm. "I'm back in Vancouver. Family's safe. But we had company on the way."Adam's grip on the phone tightened as he glanced around, then he moved to a corner."Explain.""Ambush in Cleveland. Group of assassins, professionals, well-equipped, waiting for us outside the safe house." He pause. "I handled them. Minor injuries on my end, nothing serious. Your parents and sister are unharmed. They're secure in Vancouver now."The chill in Adam's eyes deepened. His jaw tightened almost imperceptibly."Who sent them?" He asked. "Preliminary investigation points to Luca. The Max family has connections to that particular outfit."Adam took a slow breath. When he spoke, his voice was calm."Get some rest. I'll handle the rest."He ended the call.For a long moment, he stood motionless, the phone dangling from his hand. Around him, the

In an instant, every spotlight snapped to a single point. All eyes turned toward the grand entrance.The crowd held its breath. Anticipation crackled through the air. Then a figure emerged from the blinding light.Adam walked forward, his steps unhurried, his posture straight, his presence commanding. The simple clothes that had drawn contempt all day now seemed irrelevant, even powerful in their contrast to the glittering gowns and suits around him.The applause began, hesitant at first, then building into a thunderous roar. Guests rose to their feet, craning their necks for a better view. This was the man they had all come to see. The miracle doctor. The new owner of Treasure Hospital. The mysterious Mr. Adam.Adam climbed the stage steps with easy grace, each movement deliberate, controlled. He reached the top and stood in the center of the stage, bathed in light, the focus of every eye in the hall.A faint, playful smile rested on his lips. His tall, straight figure cut an impos

Adam raised the microphone again, his smile never wavering. He turned to the audience, adopting a teasing tone."You know, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about I and my lovely wife, Tracy." He chuckled, shaking his head."Not long after we met, we got married." Adam laughed, a warm, disarming sound. "Buy a house, get a beautiful wife for free. I really struck gold, didn't I?" He winked at the audience. "If I'd had more money back then, I might have bought a few more. After all, no rich man ever complains about owning too much property."The audience burst into good-natured laughter.This was not the cold, distant Mr. Adam they had imagined. No arrogance, no stuffy authority, just a witty, approachable man who could make a formal bidding event feel like an intimate gathering. The tension in the hall dissolved into warm amusement. But on stage, Tracy trembled.Tears filled her eyes, she bit her lip, her body shaking as she whispered desperately, only for Adam to hear."Please..

At that moment, one question dominated everyone's thoughts: if not Adam, then who was the father? Whispers spread like wildfire, speculation, curiosity, scandalous anticipation.Adam looked out at the crowd, he turned, gesturing toward Luca, who stood frozen like a deer in headlights. Then he spoke, his voice calm and plain."Because the father of the child Tracy is carrying is none other than Luca Max. The eldest son of the Max family."The words landed like bombs.Gasps erupted. Hands flew to mouths. Eyes darted between Luca, Tracy, and Adam, trying to process the impossible scandal unfolding before them.Dominic Max finally snapped.His face contorted with rage, not at the revelation, but at the destruction of his family's reputation. He stormed onto the stage, shoving aside guests who didn't move fast enough. His expensive shoes pounded against the stage floor as he reached his son.Without hesitation, Dominic's foot shot out.“Crack!”The kick connected with Luca's side, sendin
Chapter 75.
Luca Max and Tracy Black, the adulterous pair, had dared to plot the murder of Mr. Adam? A guest personally honored by the Alessandro family? And then sent assassins after his parents and sister?People shook their heads in disbelief. For the heir of a powerful family like the Maxes, how could anyone commit something so stupid? So vicious? So utterly self-destructive?Luca's face turned the color of ash. His mind raced, grasping for any lifeline, any escape from the crushing weight of accusations. He knew all too well that if the attempted murder of Mr. Adam were proven, he would be utterly finished. Not just disgraced….destroyed. Imprisoned. Erased.Panic overwhelmed him.He scrambled to his knees, pointing at Adam with a trembling finger."Lies!" he shrieked, his voice cracking. "All lies! Yes, I had an affair with Tracy, I admit it! I was wrong, and I'll accept punishment for that. But murder? Assassins?" He shook his head wildly. "Adam has no right to fabricate such grave accus

The footage was chilling in its clarity.Tracy and Luca stood over Adam's paralyzed body. Their voices were unmistakable, every word recorded with perfect fidelity.“Don’t you know? Marrying trash like you is the greatest shame of my life.” “I might as well tell you the truth,” she went on, her lips curling up. “That car accident? Well, it was no accident at all. I drugged your coffee that morning.”Then came the affair, the two of them, together, in the room where Adam lay unable to move, unable to look away, forced to witness their betrayal. Their sordid acts played out on screen, their voices.“Honey, I suddenly feel like doing something a little more thrilling.” Pulling Tracy closer, his hand climbed up, squeezing Tracy’s breast slowly. A playful smile curled on his lips as he looked straight at Adam.The corner of Luca’s mouth lifted, his tone openly taunting.“Tell me, if your husband watches us fuck here and now, do you think he’ll die with his eyes wide open?”Clearly ente

Dominic's eyes blazed with desperate defiance. His voice rose."After all this, Luca hasn't actually succeeded in killing you! You're standing here, alive, aren't you? You survived!"The crowd burst into angry laughter.The audacity, the shamelessness. Here was the patriarch of the Max family, begging for mercy for a son who had done the unforgivable, and now he had the nerve to argue that because Adam still breathed, the crime should be forgiven?Even Adam found it absurd.He laughed, a genuine, incredulous sound that made Dominic's face darken."So because I didn't die," Adam said slowly, savoring each word, "I'm supposed to forgive your son? I survived because I was lucky, Dominic. Because fate intervened. Not because Luca showed mercy!"He stepped closer, his voice dropping to something cold and terrible."By your logic, why don't I kill your entire family first? Your wife, your other children, everyone you love. Then I'll come back later and ask for forgiveness. How does that so

Chapter 78.Clinton's gaze was calm and piercing, the look of a man who saw further and clearer than anyone else in that hall. As a true ruler, he understood what others missed.Adam's potential far exceeded anything the Max family could offer. The miracle doctor who had saved his father, the man who commanded respect through sheer force of will, the rising power whose future limitless, supporting him promised returns that would benefit the Alessandro family for generations.Why would he offend Adam for the sake of Dominic Max?Especially when both Dominic and Luca were already rotten to the core? People like that weren't worth saving. They were liabilities, not assets. Dead weight that any wise leader would cut loose.Clinton stepped forward, his voice ringing out like thunder."Dominic Max." He paused, letting the name hang in the air. "Since you cannot bring yourself to kill your own son, the monster you raised, the criminal you protected, then you can go to hell with him."Domini

Adam, on the other hand, remained perfectly calm. He stepped down from the stage, his footsteps echoing in the hushed hall. One step at a time, he walked toward the Black family.They sat frozen in their seats near the front John, Zara, Jaxson, and Maya. As Adam approached, they seemed to melt into their chairs, shrinking, dissolving under the weight of his gaze. Terror filled their eyes, unmistakable, practically spilling over.Adam stopped in front of John.He looked down at Tracy's brother, the man who had beaten him for years, who had mocked him, who had treated him like dirt. John's face was gray, his body trembling, his mouth opening and closing uselessly."I remember it very clearly," Adam said coldly. His voice carried, ensuring everyone in the hall could hear. "Half a year ago, before my accident, you told me you would make me a cup of coffee. At Tracy's request. Not long after I drank it and got on the road, I started feeling dizzy. Disoriented. That coffee was the reaso

Zara refused to admit fault. Instead, her rage intensified, her voice rising to a fever pitch."Mistakes! Minor mistakes! That's all they were!" She pointed at Adam, her finger trembling with fury. "You're standing there, aren't you? Alive? You survived! So what's the big deal? They made a few errors in judgment, fine! We can apologize! We can say sorry!"She gestured wildly at John's paralyzed body, tears streaming down her face."But you…YOU….you crippled my son! My baby! He won't even be able to take care of himself now! You're inhuman! A monster!"Adam stared at her, his expression unchanged. When he spoke, his voice was terrifyingly calm."In your eyes, drugging someone and nearly killing them is a minor mistake?" He tilted his head. "When Tracy and Luca stood over my paralyzed body, planning my death, did you ever think about whether I would live or die? Or did you encourage them?"Zara's mouth opened, but Adam pressed on."Did you laugh with them? Celebrate with them? Spend th
