******

Uncle Trent instantly shot a smug glance toward his own wife and children once he was done leaving the threat.

“Hear that?” he barked triumphantly, his excitement palpable. “We’re finally taking over what rightfully belongs to us!”

The four of them practically sparkled with anticipation.

His son, looking like a sleazy trust fund villain in a cheap designer suit, smirked like a supervillain awaiting his monologue cue.

His wife had already opened her phone and begun scrolling through mansions.

His daughter was subtly practicing calling herself “Chairwoman.”

And just like that, the air became electric with gloating.

The four had dreamed of this moment… the day they would finally dethrone Melissa and her parents, booting them to the side, and finally stepping into the limelight.

But in their minds now, the inheritance war was finally won.

For as long as they could remember, Uncle Trent and his family had lived in the shadow of one truth… they would always be second best.

  • Chapter 058 – The Punch That Never Landed

    ******Bianca had expected Glenn to flinch, to pale, to panic, and to crack.She had been sure the mask of apathy he had worn so arrogantly would fall the moment Stanley loomed over him. She had expected something… a twitch, a flicker of fear, a tremble in his hand, a hint of sweat above his brow.Something to show that the noose she had so carefully tied around his neck was finally beginning to choke him.But Glenn…Glenn had remained perfectly still.Not a muscle shifted. Not an eyelid twitched.He just sat there like a painting… half-lidded gaze lowered at the menu tablet, his face unreadable, cold, and maddeningly calm. Like a man in a café choosing between lemon tart and vanilla mousse. Unhurried. Unbothered.There was no trace of fear.No flicker of concern.Not even mild surprise.Just that same detached stillness. A terrifying calm that spat in the face of hysteria. He didn’t even glance at Stanley, as if unaware that the man was charging at him like an enraged bull

  • Chapter 057 – Bianca’s Feeling of Victory

    ******Before this moment, many had simply been uncomfortable with his presence… cautious, disdainful, unsettled. But now?Now they hated him.Every glance hurled a new kind of disgust. Not just fear, but a deep, personal abhorrence.“How could a monster like that ever be released from prison?” someone muttered under their breath, their voice cracking with disbelief.“He’s not human,” another diner whispered, her lips trembling. “He’s a monster.”“He should have been locked away for life.”“No, he should’ve been executed.”“The justice system failed us!”Their voices started low but grew bolder with every second… like a riot slowly climbing its crescendo.“He’s a predator!”“Why would any restaurant allow someone like that inside?!”The murmuring snowballed into chaos, their collective voices now loud enough to make the glass chandeliers tremble.Then, a woman near the back suddenly stood.“If you don’t remove him right now, I will write an exposé about this restaurant.

  • Chapter 056 – Bianca’s Lie

    ******Bianca’s gaze turned cold again. Her posture stiffened. And her eyes gleamed with veiled hostility.Her aura shifted... turning so intense, venomous, and almost murderous.Then, just as suddenly, she turned back to Stanley, who had finally slowed his frenzied eating and was now dabbing his mouth lazily with a napkin, looking mildly confused by the commotion.“He was…” she began, her tone turning syrupy and pitiful in an instant. “My love, this scumbag was a nobody,” she sneered, venom dripping from every syllable.Everyone turned to look at her. A few eyebrows lifted in confusion, unsure where this was going.But Bianca didn’t stop.Her voice cracked with emotion, her frame trembling slightly with what looked like a mixture of rage and long-buried hurt. Her eyes glistened, her lips quivering like a woman recalling a tragedy she’d never fully recovered from.“My love, you must avenge me,” she cried out suddenly, her voice rising with raw desperation, catching Stanley off

  • Chapter 055 – Bianca’s Embarrassment

    ******The inside of the restaurant was deathly still at this moment, a silence so thick it could be sliced with a blade.Tension rippled through the air like static as every diner stared, their eyes fixed on the team leader of the security guards.No one spoke... not a whisper, not a cough. But the expressions across their faces, the collective stillness of their bodies, and the weight of their silence screamed louder than any words could. Their unspoken question hung in the air like a guillotine:“What decision would you take?”This was it. The moment of truth. The boiling point.Even Bianca said nothing more. She didn’t need to. She stood quietly now, her arms crossed, her lips slightly curled, and her gaze pinned playfully… but sharply on the team leader.‘Well?’ her expression seemed to say. ‘Are you still planning to cling to your precious little rules and risk offending my man, or are you going to toss that policy in the trash and prove your loyalty to the real power?’

  • Chapter 054 – The Guard Leader’s Dilemma II

    ******There, slumped in a throne of plates and half-eaten dishes, was her man… a pot-bellied, overdressed figure in his mid-thirties, who appeared more focused on devouring the restaurant than participating in its drama.His cheeks bulged with food. His gold watch glistened with crumbs. He looked like someone who had just been let loose at an all-you-can-eat buffet after a year of fasting.He, alongside Glenn, was perhaps the only other person in the building who didn’t seem remotely disturbed by the chaos.Bianca blinked in disbelief as she took in the mountain of emptied plates around him. A flicker of hesitation crossed her expression, but it vanished quickly.She turned to the crowd with a dramatic flair, then wrapped her arms lovingly around the man’s rounded shoulders.“Look at my man!” she announced loudly, startling the entire restaurant once again.Her voice dripped with sugary exaggeration. “He is my love, my one and only, and my greatest treasure.”The diners colle

  • Chapter 053 – The Guard Leader’s Dilemma

    ******Everyone couldn’t help but swallow hard upon hearing Bianca’s query.Some diners visibly trembled in their seats. Others clutched their cutlery mid-air, as if unsure whether to eat or flee. Their hearts thudded violently against their ribs, the atmosphere laced with collective dread.With this, the once-controlled murmur of the diners grew louder, rising like a tidal wave of anxiety and resentment.“I… I only came here to eat and flex, not be scared for my life!” a young woman blurted, her voice cracking as her hands trembled around a glass of wine.“Why now… Why during my only chance?” another moaned helplessly. “I’ve been saving for six whole months just to afford this moment.”“I came here for lobster, not a possible crime scene!”Their panic snowballed, snowflake by snowflake, into an avalanche of helplessness and irrational fear.Watching the chaos unfold, the security guards exchanged glances… uncertain, rattled, and visibly uneasy.“Boss,” one of them finally mu
