She left the room, and Adrian stared at the documents. His fingers tightened around it, and the storm inside him grew. Julia hurried out of Adrian’s office.She rushed to her desk in Rhein Group’s command center.Julia’s fingers flew across her console, pulling every string she could. She called in favors from informants, hacked into black-market trade logs, and activated Rhein Group’s network of spies embedded in Silver City. “Find me that ring,” she barked into her comm.“Engagement ring, sold by Sophia Aldridge. It is of extremely high value. Check every pawn shop and jeweler in the city. Now!”Minutes dragged like hours. Sweat beaded on her forehead as she went through the report to report. The city’s elite pawn shops were her best bet; Sophia’s rage would’ve driven her to act fast, not smart. Julia cross-referenced recent sales with Sophia’s known movements; her heart was pounding as the deadline that Adrian had given her was approaching.Finally, a ping from a contact in the

"I shouldn't have gone," Adrian whispered. "I should have stayed away from him."Rage boiled inside him kike a firestorm. He started the engine and it roared to life. He zoomed off back to his father's house.He was going to end this madness.Early in the morning, Adrian's car screamed to a halt outside his father's estate. He turned off the engine and descended from his car.The silence in the compound was broken only by the relentless rain pounding the roof.Adrian didn't use the door. He kicked it open and charged inside the mansion. Dragon energy crackled beneath his skin like lightning in his veins. His eyes glowed red with fury. Rain soaked him but he didn't feel it. Only rage drove him.Richard stepped out from the shadows. His face paled. "Mr. Adrian, you cannot enter! You are not expected..."Adrian didn't stop or slow down. He didn't touch Richard.

The family surged forward. Gerald, Sophia's brother, shoved Adrian back. "After all we've done for you? Gave you a place, trusted you? You stabbed us in the back! Grandfather believed in you!"Sarah, Sophia's mother, pointed a shaking finger. "I always knew I couldn't trust you! From the start! Get out!"Elena stayed quiet, her eyes sad, watching from the side but she didn't say anything.Adrian stepped back, heartbroken. The family pulled Sophia away, surrounding her like a wall. "Get out, murderer!" they shouted. Adrian took a step closer. His voice softened. "Sophia, calm down. You're angry and grieving. You'll get over this. The videos are fake. Someone's playing a wicked game."Sophia's eyes filled with rage. They burned like fire. She wiped her tears and shouted. "Fake? How can you say that?"She waved to a servant standing nearby. The old man stepped forward. His hands shook. "Tell them what you saw," Sophia said.The servant nodded. His voice trembled. "I saw Mr. Adrian enter
CHAPTER 248
He stood up. His chair scraped loudly against the floor. Mr. Rhein called after him. "Think about it, son." Adrian stormed out angrily. The door slammed like thunder. The drive back was filled with rage. "Lies. All lies," he muttered to himself. Adrian stormed into his home, the door slamming behind him like a thunderclap. His face was twisted with rage, fists clenched tight. "That bastard wasted my time with lies!" he muttered to himself, pacing the empty hallway. The house felt cold and silent. He called out. "Sophia? You home?" No answer came. The kitchen was dark, Sophia ought to be back by now. His heart skipped a beat. Something felt off. He grabbed his keys again and rushed out, driving to the Aldridge family house. The weather became cloudy, and it began to rain. As he neared the estate, chaos greeted him. Flashing ambulance lights cut through the storm. People gathered at the entrance, wailing and shouting. Servants and family members clustered around, thei

Julia hesitated. She picked up the letter but didn't move. "Sir, it's marked urgent. It came with special seals. Maybe it's important."Adrian leaned back in his chair. His fingers tapped the desk. "Important? From him? After all these years?"Julia stepped closer. Her voice was soft but firm. "I know you don't have a good history with your father. But what if he has something you need to hear? Answers, maybe. I'm sure there is something you want to know badly."Adrian stared at the letter. His mind raced with memories. His father's betrayal.Memories of him killing his mom and cheating on her with his secretary.Throwing him out like trash. But curiosity gnawed at him. What if there was truth in it?He sighed heavily. "Fine."Julia handed it over. Adrian broke the seal with a sharp rip. He unfolded the paper. His eyes scanned the words.The letter read in his mind: "Son, we urgently need to talk. Come to the mansion tomorrow."Adrian crumpled the edge. "No way I'm going to see him,"
