Chapter 72
Barely thirty minutes later, Sheila pulled up in front of the grand gates of Robin’s villa. As she put the car in park, her gaze bounced between the address on her phone and the massive mansion before her. Her eyes widened, jaw slack in pure disbelief.There was no way this was Robin’s home. During the drive over, the moment she’d turned onto the private road, doubt had crept in. She told herself it couldn’t be that 'villa.' Maybe it was a house beside it, but definitely not it. But now that she was parked right in front of it, with her phone still confirming the location, she was floored. This was the place. The address matched perfectly. She couldn't help but wonder: was Robin messing with her? There was no way he lived here, right?Still in shock, she picked up her phone and quickly dialed his number. He picked up on the second ring. "Robin," she glanced at the mansion once more, "are you sure you didn’t make a mistake with the address?”“A mistake with the address? Aren’t you th

RING! RING! The sound of Robin's ringing tone cut through the air. Robin groaned, a frown creasing his brows. Couldn't a man even get a good night's sleep these days? Yesterday, it had been Katherine, and now today—who was it this time? He didn’t even bother checking. The previous day had worn him out completely, and he’d promised himself that today would be spent sleeping. But guess the day had other plans. How annoying! With a lazy stretch, he reached for his phone on the nightstand, swiped to answer, and pressed it to his ear. “Hello?” “Hi, Robin,” came Sheila’s soft voice through the speaker. Robin’s eyes snapped open. “Sheila?” he asked, surprised. He couldn't remember giving her his number. And why was she calling him this early? His gaze flickered to the clock. Well, technically it wasn’t that early, it was already ten, but still... Sheila giggled lightly. “Yes, it’s me. Surprised I called even though you hadn't given me your number?” she teased gentl
Chapter 70
WHOOSH! A sharp gust of wind suddenly swept through the sanctuary. In the blink of an eye, Roman was yanked off his feet by an invisible force and dragged straight to Elira. A dark aura swirled around her, pulsing with menacing energy. She curled her fingers slightly, and Roman immediately felt an invisible grip wrap around his throat. His eyes bulged, rolling back slightly, his face flushing a deep red as he coughed violently. "Who are you?" Elira asked, her voice low and threatening, murderous intent radiating off her. "Are you the one who killed Eryndor?" That was more like a rhetorical question though as she didn't feel any energy emanating from him, and from the looks of it, he wasn’t someone capable of such a feat. The person who’d killed Eryndor wouldn’t be caught in a chokehold this easily. Still, she asked, just in case. He could have helped. And to her, an accomplice was just as guilty. At the thought, her fist clenched tighter. "Ugh!" Roman gasped, his skin erupting
Chapter 69
Just as the sun rose above the sky over Westridge, a plane landed on the tarmac of Westridge International Airport.Minutes later, Elira Vanthe walked out of its gates, clad in black—a skimpy black gown, dark shades, a wide-brimmed hat, black stockings, and sharp black heels. The air around her was so cold and dark, everyone instinctively avoided her path.Seeing their reaction, Elira rolled her eyes. “The people over here are too dramatic,” she murmured. Then she glanced around, slowly taking in the city that sprawled before her. “Westridge,” she whispered darkly. “Your grim reaper is here.” She had two plans. First, find the one who killed Eryndor Vex and exact her revenge. Second, conquer Westridge for the Dark Syndicate. But before any of that, she needed to embalm Eryndor’s corpse. Once her mission was complete, she’d return with it to the Syndicate. As a high-ranking member of the Dark Syndicate, Elira already knew about Eryndor’s hidden Lair and where exactly it was located.
Chapter 68
Naturally, under different circumstances, the Aldridge family members would’ve hurried after Sebastian—tried to console him, urged him to return to the hall. But this time, no one even budged. Not a single soul gave him so much as a sideways glance. The truth was too heavy. First, he had plunged the entire family into crisis, dragging them down from their prestigious standing among the Tremendous Five. And now, the image they once held of him—of the prodigy, the brilliant future Patriarch—had shattered. What they’d believed to be his talent and achievements turned out to be a carefully crafted illusion, orchestrated by him and Arthur, making them look like fools for not doubting any of them even for one day. Though the words had only come from Asher, Arthur's swift decision to name him heir without letting him proceed to present the proof he said he had, was all the confirmation they needed. Arthur might have believed that by acting quickly, he could once again suppress the trut

The punch came out of nowhere. Before Asher could react, it was already too late.BAM!Sebastian’s fist connected hard with his jaw, snapping his head to the side. The blow sent him stumbling back, blood seeping from the corner of his lips.What the hell?A collective gasp echoed through the room. Up until now, it had just been an exchange of words—why had Sebastian suddenly resorted to violence? What a hotheaded fool!Disapproving frowns swept across the faces present. Unbeknownst to Sebastian, that single action had completely ruined whatever chance he might’ve had at redeeming himself. If any member of the family had been willing to overlook his wrongdoing, that willingness vanished now. A disappointment was one thing. But a reckless brute? A mad dog? No one wanted a loose cannon for a future Patriarch!“Asher!” George’s voice rang out in panic as he rushed to his son’s side. His face was pale with worry, his hands trembling as he cupped Asher’s cheeks and examined the damage.“A
