CHAPTER 912
"I swear, I will never get used to that," Clara added, letting out a breathless laugh, her cheeks flushing slightly from being caught. "You're terrible, Adrian!"Adrian smiled warmly, his expression softening as he set his wine glass down on the porch railing. He stepped closer to his little sister, looking at her with a profound sense of pride and tenderness that went beyond words."From everything you told Sophia," Adrian spoke quietly, his voice laced with genuine respect, "it seems your mind is already made up. You're going with your husband, and you're standing by his side." He chuckled softly, a warm glint in his eyes. "And I know better than anyone that once a Lancaster makes up their mind... nobody can stop them."Clara’s vision blurred with fresh tears. Without a second thought, she threw her arms around her older brother's neck, burying her face into his chest just like she used to do when she was a little girl."I'm going to miss my big brother so much," Clara sobbed softly
CHAPTER 911
A sense of relief washed over Clara's heart, melting away the lingering anxiety that had been suffocating her all morning. She threw her arms around Sophia, hugging her sister-in-law tightly."Thank you, Sophia," Clara whispered. "Thank you so much.""CLARA!"A loud, excited shout cut through the emotional moment.Brian came sprinting across the grass at top speed, a huge, radiant smile plastered across his face. He scrambled up the porch steps, holding up a brightly colored drawing he had just finished at the craft table, eager to show his big sister.Clara reached down and lifted Brian into her arms with a light laugh, holding him securely against her hip."How are you doing, buddy?" Clara asked softly, brushing a stray lock of hair from his forehead. "Let me see what you've got there!"Brian proudly held up the bright drawing, painted with bold strokes of blue, green, and yellow. It showed a tall building with little stick figures holding hands in front of a giant golden sun."Whoa
CHAPTER 910
The rest of the commissioning ceremony went off without a single hitch. Local neighborhood families, brought in by the news of the new orphanage, cheered warmly as Grace finally cut the bright blue ribbon. Laughter filled the air and guests mingled happily with cold drinks and sweet pastries.Clara stood near the side of the wooden porch, holding a glass of iced lemonade, watching little Brian happily run around the playground with a few other kids. Though a soft smile rested on her lips, her gaze frequently drifted to the ground, heavy with thought."How are you holding up?"Sophia walked up beside her, stepping gracefully onto the porch with her own glass in hand. Her silk dress rustled softly in the morning breeze.Clara turned and gave a small, breathless laugh. "I'm good. Fine, mostly. Honestly... I'm still getting used to this whole 'wife' thing."Sophia burst into a soft, melodic laugh, nodding her head in complete solidarity. "Oh, tell me about it! It takes a little while to
CHAPTER 909
Henry didn't even flinch. He slowly folded his badge holder, slid it back into his pocket, and let out a quiet, tired sigh. "I gave you a choice," Henry said softly. "Stop the act and pay us!!!" Before the lead thug could react, Henry moved. BLUR! Henry closed the distance in a fraction of a second. His hand shot forward, grabbing the barrel of the thug’s 9mm pistol and twisting it sharply upward. CRACK! The lead thug screamed in agony as his wrist snapped. Henry ripped the gun out of his grip, swept his leg across the man's ankles, and drove his elbow straight down into the thug's chest. The leader slammed violently onto the pavement, knocked completely unconscious before he even hit the ground. "BOSS!" one of the enforcers yelled in shock. "GET HIM!" Four thugs rushed Henry at once, swinging their heavy iron baseball bats and steel pipes with brutal force. Henry ducked under the first swing, the metal pipe whistling harmlessly over his head. He stepped inside the second

CHAPTER 907
She pointed to Sophia, who was standing near the ribbon, her silver eyes glowing with a faint, dangerous light as a quiet breeze began to circle her fingertips."That woman right there?" Clara continued, her tone dangerously calm. "Sophia could snap every drop of air right out of your lungs in a split second. You and all nine of your men could be dead from sudden suffocation before your brains even have the chance to react to the trigger."Clara took a step closer to the gun, looking the lead thug dead in the eye. "I am giving you one single chance to turn around, get back into your little jeeps, and go home. Right now."The lead thug blinked, momentarily taken aback by her complete lack of fear. But as he looked at the quiet family standing in front of him—a woman in a sweater, a guy in a tailored suit, and a few construction workers—his arrogance quickly returned. He threw his head back and let out a booming laugh, his men joining in with crude jeers and taunts."Snap the air out of
