Tedmond had seen Max angry before, but never this angry. This was the first time Max had yelled so much that he didn’t let anyone else speak.

‘Was it because Grandma said she was going to give me the heir position?’ he wondered.

“You think you’re better than me?” Max seethed. “You think you can just smile and pretend you’re the good guy? You’re not. You’re a snake. A bastard. A nobody trying to take my place.”

Max took another step forward, now just inches from Tedmond’s face.

“If you think I’m going to let this go… you’re dead wrong,” he said in a low, venomous tone. “You better watch your back, because I swear—I’ll make you regret ever stepping into this family.”

Vivian, who was standing beside them, glared at Max, furious that he was saying things completely against her wishes.

“That’s enough, Max!” Vivian scolded. “Go back to where you were standing.”

Max whipped his head toward her, eyes bloodshot. “No! You don’t get to silence me! You started this—you betrayed me! Don’t expect m

    “Tea?” Neil asked, balancing two trays—one holding two mugs of steaming tea, the other stacked with three plates of neatly cut sandwiches.Tedmond looked up from the document in front of him. “You brought food too?”Since Thomas had left, he had returned to work, hoping to finish up before the man returned—because afterward, he’d have to focus on dealing with the Griffins and those thugs.And even while working, his curiosity lingered. He couldn’t help but wonder who Thomas was bringing to meet him, and what the person might look like.Neil shrugged as he carefully lowered the trays onto the coffee table. “Figured you’d forget to eat again.”Tedmond leaned back in his seat, his eyes scanning the tray. “You’re not wrong.”His lips curled into a small smile. He was glad Neil had brought him something to eat before Thomas came back; he was certain the old man wouldn’t let him leave without finishing his meal.Neil smirked and passed him a mug. “Drink. You look like your brain’s overheati

    Thomas still sat on the couch, his gaze fixed on his wristwatch. He was about to stand and go get Marek himself, but just as he glanced once more toward the stairs, he saw Marek descending.There was a certain stillness about Marek, the kind that made even the air hesitate. His black shirt hung open at the collar, sleeves rolled just above his forearms, revealing pale skin marked with old, unflinching scars.His boots echoed against the marble steps—slow, deliberate. Like the man himself, every step carried weight.A slim man hurried behind him, eyes filled with concern as he tried to catch up, hoping to reach Thomas before Marek did.The murmurs among the guards died instantly. Even those who pretended not to watch shifted subtly toward the staircase. It was as if the room held its breath.They all dared not continue their rumors with him nearby. Even though they spoke behind his back, they were still terrified of him. After all, he could take them all on without breaking a sweat—and

    Thomas glanced at his wristwatch, then raised his head to look up the stairs, searching for any sign of the man he was waiting for.Around him, several guards loitered near the edge of the marble foyer, their conversations fading as soon as Thomas appeared. One by one, their gazes drifted to the hallway he had come from—curiosity tugging at their expressions.“Did he really go to call him?” someone muttered.“Finally,” another whispered. “About damn time someone did.”A third guard scoffed. “That guy’s been living in that side building for years. Paid like the rest of us—maybe even more—but he’s never done a thing. Not once.”“He doesn’t even show up for drills,” someone added.“Lucky bastard,” another sneered. “I’ve always wanted his job. Sit around, do nothing, and still get paid.”Then came the silence.Someone said what they were all thinking, his voice low and uneasy. “They came for him now. After all these years. Whatever this task is… must be worse than anything we’ve handled.”

    Upon seeing the look on Thomas’s face, Tedmond’s brows arched. Just from that expression, he could tell the gang wasn’t just large—it was powerful.And getting his phone back wasn’t going to be an easy task.Thomas let out a slow breath. “They’re not just some street punks,” he muttered. “They’re part of a syndicate. A real one. Ex-military, most of them. Armed, trained, and completely unafraid of the law. They don’t just rough people up—they erase problems.”Tedmond’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t look shaken. “So what? I’m supposed to let a bunch of thugs run around with my phone like a trophy?”It wasn’t that Tedmond didn’t believe Thomas. He didn’t think the ones the Griffin family had hired were all that dangerous.They looked more like lackeys. Rough around the edges, sure, but not the real deal. Just pawns, not players.“I’m guessing those idiots at the Griffin mansion were just bottom feeders,” Tedmond said calmly. “The real syndicate must be behind the scenes. Probably gave th

    Tedmond’s sharp tone made Hino flinch, even though the question wasn’t directed at him. The sheer intensity of the voice was enough to send a chill down his spine.Even Thomas, who had been quietly working through files to lighten Tedmond’s workload, froze, startled by the sudden shift in atmosphere. He hadn’t expected that tone either.Neil blinked, caught off guard. The weight of Tedmond’s glare reminded him instantly of the first time they met—cold, unyielding, and dangerous. He immediately tried to explain himself.“I just—I meant if—”“You meant to question me about her?” Tedmond’s voice rose, thunderous now. “You dare to ask if that woman’s child could be mine?”He stared at Neil, seething. The very suggestion made his blood boil. He hadn’t even touched Lisa, and even if he had, the timing would make no sense. They had been long separated. The thought itself was absurd, insulting even. But more than insulted, Tedmond was angry. If Neil had made such a careless comment in front

    Minutes later…Neil finally stopped talking, his voice dry from explaining every detail—from the moment they entered the Griffin estate to the way the Griffins dodged questions and how the elders exchanged looks with fake, half-baked reactions.He had laid everything out. Every single word he heard. Everything that had happened in the mansion, including what he did to Lisa that made her snap.Tedmond sat in silence, the device now resting on the table in front of him, untouched. His fingers tapped once, twice against the wood.“Why did you piss Lisa off, though?” Tedmond asked, genuinely curious.To him, it seemed unnecessary. Lisa was someone who twisted her words and behavior to suit the moment. She often acted based on immediate circumstances and then changed her stance when something else came up.Neil leaned back in the chair, stretching his arms over his head before letting out a deep breath. Then, glancing at Tedmond with a half-smirk, he asked,“Is there anything more dangerou
