2025-05-15 05:39:28When she got to the hospital, she realized that her grandfather’s life was hanging by a thread.
The best doctors from around the country stood helpless.But then... she remembered Adrian.She remembered how Adrian had immediately noticed she had been drugged and how he helped her cure her asthma attack.That kind of awareness wasn’t normal.In her desperation, she pulled every string she had this morning and quickly dug up all of Adrian’s information she could come across.She even learned that he was scheduled to finalize a divorce with Isabelle today.So she rushed over, hoping to track him down.And now, here he was... hopefully, he could save her grandfather. She prayed inwardly.“Please you have to help me. Now.” she whispered, her grip tightened as she tried to drag Adrian toward the door.Lucian stood frozen in confusion and shock.Those who, like Lucian, knew exactly who Sophia Aldridge was... were equally dumbfounded.
Sophia Aldridge, the untouchable queen of Silver City, holding the hand of a drainded trash like Adrian—and pleading with him like her life depended on it?
How could that be possible?!
Their brains could not just comprehend it.Isabelle’s expression also twisted with disbelief.
Meanwhile, Adrian looked down at Sophia’s hand gripping his.
“Didn’t you say you wanted nothing more to do with me?” he said in a low calm tone, laced with a slight hint of sarcasm.He tilted his head slightly. “Why come to me now, then?”Sophia’s lips parted, “I—”But before she could answer, a sharp, venomous voice cut through the tense silence like a knife."Who the hell are you, bitch?!"
Isabelle snapped arrogantly, her tone dripping with disdain.
"Can’t you see my fiancé is dealing with that bastard? If you know what’s good for you, drag your cheap ass out of here before I make you crawl!"
She had never seen Sophia before and had no clue who she was.
All she knew was that this woman was stunning—way more beautiful than her.
Her presence alone caused a stir among the onlookers, and that made Isabelle boil with jealousy.
She hated it.
Sophia let out a cold laugh.
“You must be Adrian’s wife—Isabelle, right?”
She’d already guessed her identity.
"That's right! But I’m already divorced from him!"
Isabelle held up her chin.
"A loser like that? A washed-up bastard with nothing to his name? I couldn’t get rid of him fast enough. And you—"
Isabelle let out a cold, mocking laugh.
"You actually jumped into his arms like he’s some kind of prize? Gosh, you’re a pathetic slut!"
"But what can I say? You two must be cut from the same filthy cloth."
"A slut and a mutt. What a perfect match—may you rot together."
Isabelle sneered, her face twisted with contempt and mockery.
Sophia’s expression turned ice-cold in an instant as she slowly stepped forward.
Once.
Twice.
The sound of her heels echoed like a countdown to war.
She stopped right in front of Isabelle — who suddenly looked much smaller.“You dared insulted Mr Lancaster and me?”Sophia’s voice was low—calm, almost soft—but it carried the kind of pressure that made Isabelle’s spine prick.
“Oh please! What did I lie?”
Isabelle scoffed, rolling her eyes.
“Isn’t that bastard a mutt I’ve just dumped? And you? Picking up a mutt someone else dumped—if that’s not trash behavior, then what is?”
Sneering, Isabelle added.
“Tell me, which part stung more? Being called a bitch, or a slut matched to a mutt?”
Sophia stopped just inches from Isabelle.Then a slow, chilling smile crept across her lips.
And without warning—
SLAP!
A vicious slap exploded across Isabelle’s cheek, echoing like a gunshot through the courtroom.
Everyone went silent.
Isabelle stumbled back, clutching her burning cheek. “Y-You crazy bitch! You dare slap me? I’ll make you pay for this!”Her eyes blazed red with rage as she lunged at Sophia, fingers curled like claws.
Sophia was lightning-fast—she spun and delivered a stinging slap to Isabelle’s other cheek.
Humiliated and unaccustomed to such treatment, Isabelle staggered back, grinding her teeth.
“You bitch! Do you know who my fiancé is?!"
"He is the heir of renowned Grayson family and the CEO of Astra Corp in Silver City! You’re dead!”“Oh yeah? Then why don’t you ask your fiancé—does he even dare run his mouth at me?”
Sophia sneered sarcastically, her eyes filled with disdain.

CHAPTER 562
"Go to hell!" Myria shrieked, her voice echoing off the walls.In a move so fast the eye could barely track it, Adrian swung. The blade whistled through the air.SHLUCK.A horrific sound filled the room, followed immediately by a high-pitched, soul-piercing scream of absolute terror. Half of Myria’s right arm hit the floor with a heavy thud, the blood staining the stone.Myria’s body jerked violently against the ropes. She stared down at the stump where her arm used to be, her eyes wide with shock. She wailed, her head thrashing from side to side as she tried to pull away from the stump that was pouring her life onto the floor.Adrian stood over her, his face as still as a statue. He held the blood-dripping sword at his side, looking as if he had just trimmed a hedge."So," Adrian said, his voice cder this time around. "Will you talk now? Or should I move to the other arm? I have all morning, Myria. I can take you apart piece by piece until there is nothing left but a head that can
CHAPTER 561
Adrian stopped flipping the vial. He looked at her with an empty gaze."You know, you have a lot of guts, Myria," Adrian said, his voice smooth and conversational. "I killed your mentor. I destroyed his entire business, burned his labs to ash, and buried his name in the dirt.""I thought that would be a lesson for the apprentice. I thought it would teach you that some families are not meant to be touched."He leaned forward, his face inches from hers. "If your boss, a man with ten times your talent and a hundred times your power, couldn't defeat me, what makes you think you can?""You think you are strong?" Myria spat, a glob of blood hitting the floor. "You think you are indestructible? You are just a man! I will bring you down! I will find the crack in your armor and I will destroy everything you love!"Adrian let out a short, dry laugh. It was a cold sound, devoid of any real humor. "Fighting you isn't worth it, Myria. You are a mere ant in my eyes. I could crush you beneath my hee
CHAPTER 560
"Yes, I have a lead I need to check out urgently."Adrian didn't wait, he walked out into the cool morning air, the gravel crunching under his boots. He climbed into his black car, the engine let out a low, aggressive growl, and he sped out of the gates, heading toward Myria's base.Adrian finally reached the dense, overgrown path that led to Myria’s base. It was the same hidden cottage where Bianca had plotted to eliminate Clara.As he pulled up, two men in heavy tactical gear stepped out from behind the trees. They were Myria’s elite guards, hardened mercenaries who knew exactly who the man in the black car was. To them, Adrian Lancaster was the Great Destroyer, Myria’s own worst enemy.Myria had shown them his pictures every single day and told them that if he ever came anywhere close to here he should be shot on sight."It’s him!" one of the guards shouted, his voice cracking with fear. "The Lancaster is here!""Myria said shoot on sight!" the second one yelled, his hands shakin
CHAPTER 559
Sophia didn't hesitate. She pulled Clara into a tight, desperate hug. "Clara! Oh, thank heavens, you’re back!"Clara blinked, looking confused as she stared at the familiar ceiling. She sat up slowly, leaning against the cushions. Adrian moved closer, his hand resting on her shoulder."How are you feeling, Clara?" he asked, his voice soft and full of concern.Clara rubbed her temples, wincing. "Fine... I think. My head feels like it's full of fog." She looked at Adrian, her eyes clearing as the silver cure finished its work. "I remember the walk. I remember walking the red carpet. And then... There was a car crash? And men in masks?"She trailed off, her brow furrowing. "I remember being scared. I felt so small, Adrian. I felt like I was four years old again, lost in a forest. However, I don't remember how I managed to escape. Everything after the crash is... dark."Adrian exchanged a look with Sophia. "You were poisoned, Clara," Adrian said firmly. "A very dangerous herb was used t
CHAPTER 558
Adrian’s entire body suddenly erupted in a blinding flash of violet light. The energy surged from his arm and into the buyer’s body. The man’s eyes widened, his mouth opening for a final scream that never fully escaped his throat.The man’s body began to glow from the inside out, his skin turned white before disintegrating into gray flakes. In less than three seconds, the screaming stopped. The man vanished.Adrian opened his hand. A small cloud of fine, gray ash drifted away on the sea breeze, leaving nothing behind but the empty, charred shoes of the man who had dared to put a price on Clara's head.Adrian stood alone on the pier. The violet glow slowly began to tinge his skin.He took a deep, shuddering breath and turned back toward his car.Behind him, the pier was silent. The only evidence of the carnage tonight was the scorched concrete and the cracks in the earth. Adrian climbed into the driver's seat, looked at his sleeping sister in the back, and drove back home The tire
CHAPTER 557
Adrian didn't listen. He moved faster than the human eye could follow. He descended upon them like a god. He reached the first man in a heartbeat. With a movement of terrifying precision and strength, Adrian’s hand crackling with energy, struck the man's chest. There was no resistance. The violet heat instantly charred the man's clothing and skin. Adrian’s fingers sank deep, and with a violent jerk, he ended the man’s life before he could even scream. The sheer intensity of the energy radiating from Adrian's body was too much for a mortal heart to withstand; it simply withered under his touch. The other two goons collapsed, their minds snapping from the horror. They watched as the air around Adrian began to warp from the heat of his anger. He moved to the next, his shadow looming over them like a mountain. One by one, the men who had dared to touch Clara Lancaster were erased, their bodies falling like charred husks onto the vibrating concrete. A few yards away, the buyer
