Chapter 031
The black sedan stopped in the parking area of Aurelian Hospital Velmont at around two in the afternoon.One of the bodyguards stepped out first and opened the rear passenger door. Caelan got out, followed by Elara, who stepped out with the same composed posture she'd had when she first came to Aurelian a few hours ago.They stood briefly in the parking area."Thank you for coming today, Doctor Voss." Elara handed him her business card, thin, black, her name and number printed in gold ink. "If there's ever anything you need from the Crest family, don't hesitate to contact me directly. Anytime.""Thank you, Miss Crest."Elara gave one nod, then returned to her car.The bodyguards moved back to their respective positions, the door closed, and the sedan pulled out of the parking area. Caelan watched it go for a moment before turning and walking back into Aurelian.---Back at the Crest family residence, Elara found her grandmother already sitting up.Not fully upright, but far better tha

At a quarter to seven, Caelan stood in front of the mirror.The wardrobe in the Presidential Suite was no joke, suits in various colors and cuts, all from brands whose names alone said everything. Caelan chose a dark navy one, slim fit, falling perfectly across his broad shoulders. His shirt was clean white with the buttons done up neatly to the collar, no tie, a choice that made the whole look feel fresher than purely formal. His hair was combed back neatly with one thin strand falling naturally to his forehead.He looked at his reflection for a moment.This was the first time he had looked like this in a very long time. Four years of prison uniform, three days of plain shirts and trousers, and now this.On top of that, tonight wasn't just a party. It was a doorway into a circle that had been closed to him all this time.Suddenly, the room bell rang.Caelan opened the door.Layla was standing at the threshold with a dinner cart in front of her, her uniform neat as always, her express
Chapter 033
Two broad-shouldered bodyguards stood on either side of the entrance, checking every arriving guest in a way that didn't look rough but couldn't be ignored.The guest in front of Caelan was asked to show their invitation.Caelan stepped forward, ready to pull up the message the Crest family had sent him earlier that afternoon.One of the bodyguards looked at him, and something in his face changed, not alertness, but the opposite. He gave a nod. "Doctor Voss. Please come in."Caelan's hand, which had been reaching for his phone, stopped mid-air. He returned the nod with a brief smile and walked in.The Crest family had clearly briefed them beforehand.---The interior of the residence tonight was different from the afternoon. The crystal lights that had bathed the lobby in warm light earlier were now paired with tall candles along the tables and corners of the room, creating an atmosphere that felt more intimate than the visible grandeur would suggest. Music from a string quartet playi

In the corner of the room, Serena stood with a glass of champagne in her hand that she hadn't touched.Her eyes followed every movement on the dance floor, Caelan moving in a way she had never seen in five years of marriage, Elara following him as if the two of them were born to be paired on this floor.Her chest felt hot.Not because the room was warm."Damn it! Am I jealous?!" She bit the inside of her lip. "Impossible. That bastard is just an ordinary doctor. There's nothing special about him. Harrison is better than him in every way. On top of that, Harrison is going to end his life sooner or later, and he'll be nothing but meaningless trash. Forget him, Serena. He's just a worthless piece of garbage."But her feet didn't move and her eyes didn't look away.Beside her, Harrison Blake stood with a glass that also hadn't been touched. His expression was flat, but flat in a way that was different from usual. Not his usual controlled coldness. This was a coldness that was keeping some

Caelan didn't react to the shoved hand.He stayed standing in the same spot, the rejected hand returning calmly to his side. "I apologize. This was my fault."Ronan got up from the floor with a red face, champagne still dripping from his hair. He looked Caelan up and down with eyes that hid nothing."Keep your hands away from me!" His voice rose without him realizing it. "Who do you think you are?! Just because you managed to save Victor Ashford, you think you're somebody now?!" He shook his soaked jacket with an angry gesture. "You're a nobody doctor who just got out of prison, and you have the nerve to walk into an event like this, mingling with people who aren't in your league, even asking the host to dance as if you have any right to?! Know your place!"Several nearby guests exchanged whispers.In the corner of the room, Harrison nudged Serena's arm with his elbow. Serena bit her lip to hold back a smile."Good." Harrison watched from a distance with a satisfaction he didn't show.

Ronan was still standing in the middle of the room when reality began to sink in.No one was defending him. No one moved toward him. One by one, the people who had been whispering in support a moment ago were looking away, suddenly finding something else far more interesting to look at.And Harrison, the man who had whispered the plan into his ear just minutes ago, was standing in the corner with a glass in hand, his expression as calm as someone watching another person's show.Ronan swallowed.If all his contracts with the Crest family were genuinely pulled, half his investment portfolio would collapse in under a month. The Crest name was in too many places across his business, too many to be saved if they truly withdrew.He had no other choice.Ronan stepped toward Leonard and went down on his knees."Mr. Leonard." His voice was nothing like before. "I beg your forgiveness for my behavior tonight. I was wrong. I was completely wrong. Please don't end our partnership. I'm willing to
Chapter 037
Leonard stepped toward Caelan, his hand extended. "I apologize for the unpleasantness tonight, Doctor Voss. This was supposed to be an enjoyable evening, not the opposite.""There's no need to worry about it, Mr. Crest." Caelan shook his hand. "It wasn't your fault.""Your graciousness puts me to shame, Doctor Voss." Leonard gave one nod of genuine respect, then his eyes moved briefly toward Elara.Elara caught the signal. She stepped to Caelan's side with a calm stride. "Doctor Voss, there's a more comfortable space in the east wing if you don't mind. The music is a little quieter there, and the garden view is quite nice at night."Caelan nodded. "I'd love that."The party resumed after Ronan's departure. The quartet continued its melody, servers made their rounds again, and small conversations came back to life in every corner of the room. But something was different, a more careful tone, more measured glances every time eyes passed in the direction Caelan was walking.In another co

The moment the call ended, James looked at the two people sitting in front of him.Both were wearing black robes with a gold dragon emblem engraved on the left chest, not ordinary embroidery, but engraved as if burned into the fabric itself.The first was around twenty-five years old. His face was handsome with lines too sharp to look ordinary. A defined jaw, black eyes that never looked still even when his body wasn't moving, dark black hair falling neatly to his shoulders. There was a stillness in the way he sat that didn't come from being relaxed, but from the complete certainty that there was nothing in this room he needed to be concerned about.The second was slightly older, twenty-seven or twenty-eight. His hair was dark red like embers nearly burned out, shoulder-length and left loose. His face was broader than his companion's, with an expression that from the start already said he wasn't used to waiting.Both of them radiated something James couldn't define with ordinary words
Chapter 039
The Lamborghini Huracán pulled into The Grandeur's parking lot like something that had just descended from somewhere higher than an ordinary parking lot.The sound of its engine was low but felt in the chest, and that alone was enough to turn several heads even before the car had fully stopped.The Grandeur's parking lot wasn't a stranger to expensive vehicles. Rows of black sedans, premium SUVs, and a few coupes priced like houses were spread neatly across every corner. But the arrival of that low, sharp metallic dark navy body had a different quality. Not because of its price, but because of the way it entered, like something that didn't ask for space, but simply took it.Three girls standing near the entrance stopped talking. Their attention went to the car, wondering who was behind it.The engine went quiet.The door opened upward.Caelan stepped out.Dark navy jacket, hair still neat after a long night, posture that wasn't trying to look like anything other than itself.The three

They moved above the city like shadows that never touched the ground.Building to building, rooftop to rooftop, each leap spanning a distance that made no sense for ordinary humans but felt completely natural to the three people doing it. Velmont below them moved like a miniature board.They stopped at the edge of the city, where concrete and streetlights gave way to darkness. Cindervale Forest, a green zone deliberately left undeveloped in the western corner of Velmont, older than the city itself. During the day this place served as a jogging trail and picnic spot. On a night like this, there was no one.Old oak trees stood like giant pillars beneath a moon that wasn't full. The ground here was damp, fallen leaves forming a layer that muffled the sound of footsteps.All three landed almost simultaneously in an open area, a small clearing surrounded by trees on every side.The black-haired man turned to face Caelan. His eyes scanned from top to bottom with more precision than they had
