Lucy slammed her handbag onto the glass desk. She crossed her arms and stared across the office at her former college friend."We want him ruined," Lucy said. "We want every single penny he is trying to hide."Tamsin sat behind her desk and rubbed her temples. She looked at the frantic woman sitting in the leather guest chair. She then looked at the wealthy heir sitting right next to her. Chase Perry wore a smug smile and an expensive tailored suit.Tamsin opened the thin file folder Lucy had provided. She scanned the initial divorce claims. She knew Rex. She remembered him as the quiet man who shoveled snow from the Clark driveway while Lucy complained about the cold. Rex had cooked her dinner on multiple occasions when she visited their estate. He was polite and humble. The malicious accusations listed on the paper did not match the man she remembered."You are claiming he is hiding massive financial assets," Tamsin noted. She set the file down on the glass surface. "Rex worked thre

Tamsin shook her head slowly. She looked at Rex as if he had spoken a foreign language. The idea of him gifting her a corporate law firm was absurd."Rex, please stop," Tamsin whispered. She rubbed her eyes to clear the exhaustion. "You do not have any money. You are making Gary angrier."Gary let out a sharp bark of laughter. He grabbed the edge of the marble reception desk to steady himself."Gift her the firm?" Gary wheezed. He pointed a manicured finger at Rex. "You cannot even afford a cup of coffee from the breakroom. You are a delusional beggar."Rex ignored Gary completely. He reached into his front pocket and pulled out a small silver digital disk. He held it out between his index and middle fingers. "I do not have time for his tantrums," Rex said. He kept his eyes locked on Tamsin. "This disk contains high definition security footage. It proves Lucy and Chase Perry have been having an affair for over six months."Tamsin stared at the small object. Her legal mind instantly p

Drake marched out of the mediation suite without looking back. The doors slammed shut behind him.The loud thud echoed like a gunshot across the silent room. Lucy jumped in her leather chair. She stared at the closed doors with wide, terrified eyes. The reality of her situation crashed down on her shoulders. She had no lawyer, no leverage, and no escape.Chase Perry gripped the edge of the mahogany table. His knuckles turned white under the intense pressure. He could not use ignorance as a defense. The video footage clearly showed him mocking Rex outside the Clark estate while he kissed Lucy. He was a willing, active participant in the marital fraud.Tamsin turned her attention to the head of the table. Mr. Sterling sat quietly behind his laptop. The official court mediator adjusted his glasses and looked at the extensive financial ledgers Tamsin had provided."Mr. Sterling, the evidence speaks for itself," Tamsin said. Her voice carried immense professional authority. "Lucy Clark init

Rex sat in the command center beneath the Higgins estate. The blast doors sealed him inside the underground room. He needed a full accounting of his resources before initiating the next phase of his apocalyptic preparations.He focused his mind and commanded the system to display his current ledger.A translucent blue screen materialized in the empty air. Glowing text scrolled rapidly across the interface.[Administrator Profile: Rex Lawson][Apocalypse Countdown: 27 Days Remaining][Financial Status][Total Liquid Capital: INFINITE][System Note: The frequency and scale of recent currency gifts have exceeded standard mathematical multipliers.

Marcus stared at the empty side of the lobby. Fifty of his best legal minds now stood behind the man he had just called a peasant. The silence in the room stretched until Marcus finally snapped."You think this is over?" Marcus yelled. His voice bounced wildly off the marble walls. "You think a quick bank transfer negates a binding legal contract?"He turned around and marched toward the main reception desk. He snatched a thick leather folder from the terrified receptionist. He held it high in the air for the entire crowd to see."I have every single signature right here," Marcus threatened. "These are ironclad non compete agreements. You all signed them on your first day of employment."David swallowed hard and took a step closer to Tamsin. The young attorney knew the power of those documents. The legal language was designed to trap them indefinitely."If you walk out those glass doors," Marcus continued, "I will freeze those million dollar bonuses in an hour. I will tie every single
