Later that afternoon, Peter headed to the hospital to see his father. He gently knocked on the door of his father's private room before stepping inside.His father, Daniel Dominic, sat up in bed, a warm smile spreading across his face when he saw his son. He looked healthier than he had in years. Color had returned to his cheeks, and his eyes now held a spark that had been missing for far too long."Peter!" Daniel exclaimed, gesturing for his son to come closer. "I was wondering when you'd visit. How's the restaurant?"Peter pulled up a chair and sat beside his father's bed. "Dad, you're not going to believe what happened today."Daniel leaned forward, curiosity gleaming in his eyes. "Tell me everything."Peter started filling his father's ears with details about Harold West's confession, Agent Morrison's apology, and the assurance that the investigation would be closed within forty-eight hours.With each second that passed, Daniel listened in stunned silence, his eyes growing wider.
confession
Harold's laughter echoed off the walls of the lavish office, mockingly. Agent Morrison exchanged a confused glance with her colleagues. Bruce stood perfectly still, watching in silence.Harold laughed heartily for a long while before finally slowing down, wiping an imaginary tear from his eye. His laughter died abruptly and a cold, venomous glare took over his face."I don't know this man," Harold said, his voice thick with contempt. "I've never seen him before in my life. He's clearly deranged, and I demand you remove him from my presence immediately."Agent Morrison's face tightened. She turned to Bruce, her expression hard. "Mr. Mann, I think it's time we leave. This was a mistake."She grabbed Bruce's arm, pulling him toward the door. "I'm terribly sorry for the disruption, Mr. West. We'll be going now."Harold cocked his chin up. "See that you do. And if that man ever steps foot in my building again, I'll have him arrested for trespassing."Bruce allowed himself to be guided towa
Bruce's accusation
Peter's face went white, surprised at Bruce's claims. "But how? The restaurant was locked, and the alarm system was activated. How could he possibly—""He has connections," Bruce interrupted. "He could have hired someone to break in, plant the evidence, and leave without a trace. He knows that with these allegations, your reputation is ruined. You can't do business with a tainted reputation like this."Peter sank down against the wall, his face buried in his hands. "This is it, isn't it? All that we have built is now gone, just like that."Bruce shook his head firmly. "No. It's not over yet. I'll take care of this."Without saying another word, Bruce turned and walked straight to the lead investigator—the stern woman who had been talking with Peter earlier.She was inspecting the mysterious container when Bruce came up to her."Excuse me," he said. "I need to speak with you."The woman looked up, her eyes narrowing slightly. "And you are?""Lazarus Mann," Bruce replied. "I'm the deput
The allegations
Later that night, Bruce sat alone in the living room of his modest apartment, replaying everything Peter's ex-girlfriend had revealed. Harold West's dark secret and his curse deeply intrigued Bruce. To destroy Harold West, he must first make his cousin wealthy. That was a piece of cake for Bruce, who was by far a multi-trillionaire. He reached for his phone and dialed a number. Victoria answered on the first ring. "Chairman, it's late. Is everything alright?" "Everything's fine," Bruce said calmly. "I need you to do something for me." "Of course. What do you need?" Bruce leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. "I want you to purchase several properties worth millions and put them under Peter Dominic's name." There was a brief pause on the other end. "Peter Dominic? Your cousin?" "Yes," Bruce confirmed. "I want him to become one of the city's largest property owners overnight." Victoria's voice was filled with curiosity. "That's a big investment, chairman.

Peter stared at him, his eyes wide. "Lazarus, there's no way. She could be lying. She's lied before—" "I know," Bruce interrupted. "But I caught Kelly and Holland spying on us months ago. They were watching the diner from across the street. There's no denying that Harold West is obsessed with your family staying poor." Peter's head snapped toward Kelly. "Is that true? Were you spying on me?" Kelly's face went pale. She hesitated, then nodded slowly. "Yes. It's true. Holland's father made us watch you. He wanted to know who was helping you." For a while, Peter stared at her with a hardened look on his face. "Why are you telling us this now? What changed?" Kelly looked down at her hands, her voice unsteady. "I've been thinking a lot lately about how I treated you. I realized I made a huge mistake, Peter. I was wrong to leave you and go with Holland." She looked up, her eyes pleading. "I want to come back. I want to make things right. I want us to try again." Bruce studied

Bruce was skeptical when he heard Kelly's name. All he knew about her was that she was Peter's ex-girlfriend who had abandoned him in his darkest days and had been spying on them with Holland West. What on earth could she possibly want?Even Peter must have been thinking the same thing, because the next words he spoke were, "Tell her I'm not around. I don't want to see her."The staff hesitated. "I tried to say that, but she insisted. She asked me to tell you that your life is in danger."Peter's frown deepened. "What did you say?"Bruce leaned in, his face serious. "Peter, maybe you should hear her out. If she's coming all the way here to warn you, it might be important."Peter seemed divided, his emotions swinging between anger and curiosity. Finally, he let out a frustrated sigh. "Fine. Bring her to my office. I'll see what she has to say."The staff nodded and disappeared. Peter turned to Bruce, his expression dark. "I don't trust her, Lazarus. She left me for a rich guy. What'
