CHAPTER 172
Marcus enters the sterile hospital waiting room with a leather folder in his hands.He approaches Sophia with slow and measured steps.The fluorescent lights overhead cast a pale glow across her exhausted but beautiful features."Miss Sophia, the transfer documents are fully prepared." Marcus holds out the thick stack of papers. "The restaurant is now entirely yours.""Put them on the chair and leave my sight." Sophia crosses her arms, her expression completely void of any warmth. "You and your boss are nothing but bothersome flies.""We only wish to provide you with stability." Marcus lowers his head respectfully."I do not want anything from a deceitful snake." Sophia glares at him with absolute indifference. "Do not speak to me. Just disappear from my presence immediately.""As you wish." Marcus places the folder down carefully and walks away. His ten word thought: She is as cold as a frozen winter mountain peak.Later in the morning, Monica is forcefully dragged back into the rest
CHAPTER 171
"The Thompson family has relocated." Marcus pulled out a secondary file folder from his briefcase. "Victoria and Jason have changed their location. They are living quite differently now.""Explain." Alex walked over to the leather couch and sat down."From the surveillance reports shown, they are living fine now." Marcus handed over a stack of recent photographs. "They moved into a highly secure luxury mansion on the east side of the city. Their bank accounts are frozen, but they somehow have access to unlimited funds. They are dining on expensive food and wearing designer clothing.""Like cockroaches scurrying into a new sewer pipe." Alex sn
CHAPTER 170
Marcus stood near the hospital corridor entrance. He held a sealed envelope tightly in his firm grip. Sophia walked out of the double doors with steady steps. Her face resembled a mask carved out of solid ice."Miss Sophia, please wait a moment." Marcus lowered his head respectfully."Get out of my way." Sophia kept her gaze fixed straight ahead. Her voice carried the freezing temperature of a winter blizzard. I do not have time for his annoying little games."My boss only wishes to ensure your absolute safety." Marcus stepped sideways to maintain a polite distance. "He asked me to deliver a crucial message regarding your daughter.""Your boss is a walking plague." Sophia crossed her arms over her chest defensively. "I do not want his messages or his fake concern. Both of you are nothing but bothersome flies buzzing around garbage. Leave us alone.""We are only trying to help your family recover." Marcus kept his tone completely even and strictly professional."Do not pretend you care
CHAPTER 169
"Look at you crawling on the floor like a disgusting maggot." Cynthia sneered, her polished boot pressing down heavily on Monica's trembling fingers. "You thought you could trample over Miss Sophia? You are nothing but a filthy parasite feeding off the dirt.""Please, I beg you to stop." Monica curled into a tight ball, sobbing uncontrollably. "I am sorry. I did not know who she was.""Shut your mouth, you screeching pig." Cynthia kicked Monica in the ribs. "Your apologies are as worthless as a pile of manure. A crushed ant has more dignity than your pathetic existence. You belong in the sewer with the rest of the diseased rats.""I will never go near her again." Monica coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the concrete. "I swear it.""You are absolutely right." Cynthia crouched down, grabbing Monica by her ruined hair to force her to look up. "Because next time you even think of breathing the same air as Miss Sophia, I will personally pull your limbs off like the annoying in
CHAPTER 168
Alexander knew everything."Please," Monica's voice broke completely. "Please, I'm begging you. I made a mistake. I know that. I understand that now. But what you're suggesting, that's not justice, that's—please. I have people who depend on me. I have a life. Please don't do this."Alexander's gaze moved from Monica to the female guard positioned near the far wall. He gave a single, brief nod.The guard moved forward immediately, her expression completely neutral, professional in the way that suggested she had received her instructions well before this moment.Monica's panic became immediate and physical. She jerked against the binding at her wrists, her entire body convulsing with the instinct to flee. "No! No, don't come near me! Get away from me! I said get away!"She twisted toward Alexander, her voice climbing into something raw and uncontrolled. "Who are you? That's what I want to know! Who are you to do this? Who gave you the right to come in here and act like you own everyone'
CHAPTER 167
The room had changed since Alexander walked back in.It wasn't the lighting or the temperature or anything that could be measured with instruments.It was something else entirely, the particular shift in atmosphere that occurred when a person carrying absolute authority decided to stop moving and simply be present in a space.The guards near the walls straightened without being told. Even the air seemed to compress slightly.Alexander stood in front of Monica and said nothing.He looked at her the way someone might look at a document they had already decided the contents of before reading it. There was no curiosity in his gaze.No uncertainty. No warmth of any kind. Just a cold, settled certainty that pressed against Monica from across the room like a physical force.Monica's earlier relief, the breath she had exhaled when he had seemed to listen, when she had thought perhaps the worst was behind her, evaporated completely."Why are you looking at me like that?" Her voice came out cra
