Chapter 477: Shadows on the CliffThe Santorini sky burned golden, its light dancing off the whitewashed villas that clung to the island’s cliffs like pearls on a string. The Wane family’s private jet touched down on a secluded airstrip, its engines winding down with a soft whine as the Aegean Sea sparkled beyond.Ellen Princeton and Lana Wane stepped onto the tarmac, their faces lit with excitement, the warm breeze tugging at their hair. Ellen’s cream blazer fluttered, her auburn ponytail swaying as she adjusted her sunglasses, while Lana’s sapphire dress swirled, her curls bouncing with each eager step.The scent of salt and wild thyme filled the air, a promise of escape from Emerald Falls’ chaos. Captain Miles emerged from the jet’s cargo hold, his salt-and-pepper hair glinting as he hauled their suitcases with steady hands. His flight jacket was creased, his weathered face set in a professional frown as he stacked the bags—Ellen’s sleek duffel, Lana’s oversized floral tote—onto a

Chapter 476: Farewells and Hidden ThreatsThe Wane family’s private hangar sat nestled at the edge of their sprawling Emerald Falls estate, its sleek metal roof glinting under the pale morning sun. The air was crisp, tinged with the scent of jet fuel and dew-soaked grass, as a private plane idled on the tarmac, its engines humming softly.James Wane stood by the hangar’s open doors, his navy jacket slung over one shoulder, his dark hair ruffled by a gentle breeze. His green eyes, sharp yet softened with affection, watched Ellen Princeton and Lana Wane fuss over their luggage nearby, their laughter cutting through the dawn’s quiet.James adjusted his stance, his boots scuffing the concrete, his broad frame casting a shadow across the tarmac. He’d been up since dawn, helping Ellen and Lana putting finishing touches to their travel arrangement.He glanced at them—Ellen in a cream blazer, her auburn hair tied back, checking a clipboard; Lana in a flowing sapphire dress, her curls bouncing
Chapter 475: Tangled Hearts and Hidden Dangers
Chapter 475: Tangled Hearts and Hidden DangersJames leaned back in his leather chair, the city’s glittering skyline framing him through the glass wall behind. His desk was a battlefield of financial reports and Priya’s red-inked notes, each page a clue in the war against Williams and Sterling’s virus scheme. The air was thick with the scent of coffee and ink, but James’ black eyes, sharp and restless, softened as Ana Davies’s heels clicked out the door, her promise to crack the restricted server logs lingering like a lifeline. He exhaled, rubbing his jaw, the weight of EMC’s survival pressing hard on his shoulders.Before he could dive back into the reports, his phone buzzed, the screen flashing Lana Wane’s name. James’ lips curved into a faint smile—he hadn’t heard from his cousin since she’d brushed off his security warnings for her Santorini trip. He swiped to answer, leaning forward, his elbow resting on the desk. “Lana, what’s up?” he said, his voice warm but tinged with curios
Chapter 474: Finding the Hidden Hand
Chapter 474: Finding the Hidden HandThe EMC headquarters stood like a glass monolith against the Emerald Falls skyline, its mirrored surface catching the late afternoon sun in a blaze of gold.Inside his office, James sat behind a polished mahogany desk, his broad shoulders hunched over a stack of financial reports, their edges curling under the weight of his scrutiny.The room was a fortress of modern luxury—sleek black furniture, a panoramic window framing the city, and a faint hum from the servers tucked in a corner. James’ eyes, sharp and unyielding, scanned the pages, his brow furrowed as he pieced together the puzzle that threatened his reclaimed empire.His dark hair fell slightly over his forehead, a stray lock he brushed back with a quick, impatient flick of his hand. The man who once scrubbed floors at a grocery store was gone; in his place sat the Wane heir, his jaw tight with resolve.The weight of Gregor’s words from his meeting with Kai at the Starlight Diner clung to J
Chapter 473: Secrets in the Sun
Chapter 473: Secrets in the SunThe Wane family estate in Emerald Falls sprawled across manicured lawns, its white marble facade gleaming under the late morning sun. The air hummed with the scent of blooming jasmine and the distant buzz of a lawnmower, a serene backdrop to the opulent mansion that whispered wealth and power. Inside, the grand foyer echoed with the soft clink of crystal chandeliers and the faint murmur of staff moving discreetly through the halls.Ellen Princeton stood at the threshold, her designer suitcase resting by her polished heels, her auburn hair catching the light as she adjusted her sunglasses atop her head. Her tailored cream blazer and matching skirt spoke of elegance, but her hazel eyes betrayed a flicker of weariness—her father Jonathan Princeton’s presidential campaign, now on hold, had left her navigating a storm of public scrutiny and private doubts.The heavy oak doors swung open, and Lana Wane swept into the foyer, her long, curly hair bouncing with

The air carried the faint scent of leather, a testament to the wealth and power that defined the sprawling estate in the heart of Emerald Falls.Kai Nakamura stood near a towering window, the night sky beyond framing his lean silhouette. His gray suit was slightly rumpled from the day, but his sharp features remained composed, his dark eyes glinting with calculation. In his hand, he clutched the folded paper Gregor had given him at the Starlight Diner hours earlier—Lana Wane’s Greece itinerary, a key to unlocking the Wane family’s secrets. Kai’s mind churned, replaying Gregor’s words about Williams Jesse and Mr. Sterling’s virus scheme. Someone else knew, and that was a problem.The heavy oak door creaked open, and Liam Carter strode in, his tailored navy suit pristine despite the late hour.
