2026-04-30 12:00:59Something shifted within Logan, he became angry but controlled himself, "It doesn't matter what you say Alfred. I know that my father is somehow involved in what happened to her and for that I will never forgive him. You of all people should know that.”
Alfred took a deep breath, "Young Master, I know that I'm in no position to tell you this, but your father is not the only one in the Mitchell family. Refusing to perform your duties… simply means that you're ready to throw away all the decades of effort put into building this empire.”
Logan scoffed and looked away. He understood where Alfred was coming from, Astral Corp was his responsibility but he had been running away from it for years and now it had finally caught up to him. He hated being here, but Mia… for her sake, he was willing to do anything, even if it meant coming back to the place that once caused him unbearable pain.
He took a pen and read through the documents, then sighed it before handing it over to the old man. And at that moment, his status elevated, he now had assets worth billions to his name.
"Congratulations, Young Master. You're now the sole heir of this great empire . I couldn't be happier.” Alfred said with a wide smile.
But Logan wasn't too happy, he instantly demanded, "The cash, Alfred. I need it now.”
After some time, Logan left the building. He had taken another exit because he knew his in-laws were waiting to flood him with questions, he wanted to avoid that.
He looked down at the bag he was holding and was really happy. The exact amount of money needed for his daughter's treatment was finally with him. He got into a taxi and headed back for the hospital.
He later arrived, walking hurriedly towards Mia's room. As he turned to the next corner, what he saw next made him fuel in anger. Francis Lee was hugging Ava just outside Mia's room. His hands were placed on sensitive areas of her body, and the worst part? Ava was enjoying it.
"What the hell is going on here? What are you doing with my wife? You shameless bastard.” Logan roared as he rushed over to them, yanking Francis away from Ava and slamming him against the wall. He grabbed the director’s collar and glared hatefully at him.
“Logan! Are you crazy?” Ava yelled, “Let him go right now, you idiot!”
"Ava!" Logan called in shock, "Why are you defending him? Can't you see what this bastard is trying to do?"
"I think you've misunderstood, Mr Mitchell." Francis spoke with calmness despite the situation he was in, he had a smug smile attached as he continued, "Ava was only showing gratitude because I helped pay lovely baby Mia's medical f*e… Since you were nowhere to be found.”
"I thought I made it clear that I would be paying my daughter's medical f*e and that we didn't need his help." Logan had a hurt look on his face when he turned to Ava. "So, why did you accept his help?"
Ava snapped, “You never made anything clear, Logan. You were just being a prideful asshole. Our daughter has been sick for years, she can't live a normal life thanks to your poverty-stricken ass!”
A cold shiver ran down Logan's spine. How could Ava be this cold with her words…
Ava saw the shocked expression on Logan’s face but she could care less, ‘You have failed as a father and a husband.” She pressed on, “You should be on your knees thanking Mr Lee for coming through for us despite your arrogance!”
Logan let go of Francis' collar, he couldn't believe that it was Ava saying this right now. "But my love… I have it, I have the money right here." he said as he opened the suitcase, showing her the neatly-stacked cash.
This shocked Ava.

Chapter 367: The Funding Line Goes Dark
The funding line went dark by morning."Confirmed closed," Alfred said. "And that was the last of the major arteries. Everything they used to fund the operation against you is either severed or frozen now.""They still have resources," Logan said."They do," Alfred said. "But not the easy, deniable kind. Everything left is traceable, slower, harder to move without exposure.""That is a real shift," Logan said."It is," Alfred said. "The infrastructure that made all of this possible is gone."Logan used the improved position to push several long horizon projects forward at once. The commercial frameworks around the channels expanded further, new agreements built for years rather than months. Protected development pathways for Micro Dash advanced steadily, the engineers still working undisturbed under the deeper cover Alfred had maintained for weeks.And slowly, underneath all of it, family life inside the new residence continued its own quiet normalization.Ava returned to a fuller sc
Chapter 366: The Final Thread
The new residence became fully operational within the week, and the protective routines recalibrated around a longer horizon, no longer built for crisis but for years of ordinary life underneath extraordinary security.Logan began spending controlled portions of his days on ordinary executive work again, visible in limited ways at Springlife and across the channel operations for the first time in months."How does it feel," Ava asked, watching him prepare for his first in person site visit since everything began."Strange," Logan said. "Good strange."The city's major players adjusted quickly to the new normal, meetings resuming with a steadiness that would have seemed impossible weeks earlier.Roman delivered an update that confirmed the shift was more than surface deep."Carlisle formally stepped back from two of his more confrontational committees," Roman said. "Graceful on the surface. Final underneath.""He knows it is over," Logan said."He knows," Roman said. "Whether he says i
Chapter 365: The Honesty of Crayons
The move began in phases, exactly the way Scott had planned it."Three separate transfers over four days," Scott said. "No single moment where everything is exposed at once.""Same discipline as every extraction we have run," Logan said."Same discipline," Scott said. "Just slower, because this time nobody is running from anything. We can afford to be careful instead of fast."The household settled into the new residence gradually, room by room, the empty halls filling with the ordinary weight of a family actually living somewhere instead of hiding.Victor stayed with them for a limited stretch before his medical team required his return to the secure recovery location, and for those few days the house held something Logan had not expected to feel so strongly.Three generations under one roof.Logan watched Victor sit at the kitchen table each morning, watched Mia climb into the chair beside him without hesitation, watched Ava move easily between the two of them like the arrangement
Chapter 364: Three Generations Under One Roof
The disrupted mapping attempt led to something new, a short exchange between the two counsel teams that felt closer to coordination than anything before it."They reached out first," Alfred said. "Confirming the same pressure hit both sides at the same time. Nothing formal. Just an acknowledgment.""That we are under fire from the same source," Logan said.The new residence reached initial operational readiness that same week, and Logan walked it with Ava and Mia under full security."This one," she said. "This is my room.""You are sure," Logan said, smiling."I am sure," Mia said, already pointing at the far wall. "All my drawings go there. In order. Starting with the first castle.""We will hang every one," Ava said."The move is scheduled," Scott confirmed later that day. "Everything checks out. We can begin transition within the week."That evening, under maximum cover, Victor arrived at the current safe location.Logan met him at the door, and for a moment neither man said anyt
Chapter 363: The Deliberate Restraint
Logan kept the reply formal, matching what the young man had sent.Offer rejection acknowledged. Notification protocol remains open on my end.He read it once before sending, resisting the pull to add anything more. The restraint felt deliberate on both sides now, an unspoken agreement that whatever this was becoming, it would not be rushed by either party."No personal content added," Alfred confirmed, reviewing the exchange. "Matches his tone exactly.""That is the point," Logan said. "We let the trust build at its own pace, not ours."Construction on the new residence began that week under tight compartmentalization, each contractor working with only the piece of the plan they needed to see."Nobody outside the core team has the full layout," Scott said. "Standard practice, but I am running it stricter than usual given everything happening.""Good," Logan said. "I would rather move slower and stay invisible than move fast and leave a trail."Parallel to the construction, the instit
Chapter 362: The Unprompted Message
The surveillance attempt traced back quickly to a cut out Scott's team had already half mapped weeks earlier."Confirmed," Scott said. "Same network, different node. We removed it clean, no noise.""They have not accepted the ruling yet," Logan said."Doesn't look like it," Scott said. "This reads like probing, not retreat.""Then we keep treating every quiet week as temporary," Logan said. "Because apparently it is."Victor reached a milestone that week that shifted the shape of everything ahead."Medical clearance for limited travel," Alfred reported. "Under extreme security, but real travel."Logan called his father directly once the news settled."They are saying I could actually see you," Victor said. "In person, not a screen.""How does that sit with you," Logan said."Heavier than I expected," Victor said. "I have imagined it so many times it almost does not feel real that it might actually happen now.""We will plan it carefully," Logan said. "Controlled reunion, full security
