Jack’s eyes flicked to Emilia’s room door, sealed shut with a red warning light above it. His voice was hollow.“Lord Lucas’s Henchmen men, I think.” He said. “They came to finish what they started.”Mrs Beatrice gasped. Mr Thewane cursed under his breath and punched the wall.Lord Williams’s shoulders tensed. “And Clark?”Jack closed his eyes. The image of Clark being dragged by the hair into the SUV, screaming his name burned into him like a scar.“They took him.”The hallway fell into stunned silence.Jack looked at Lord Leo, then at the others. “We don’t have time to play politics anymore. Lucas made it personal.”Just then, the door to Emilia’s room swung open. A doctor in blue scrubs emerged, gloves soaked in crimson. His face was drawn, eyes grave.Jack didn’t wait.He stepped forward. “How is she?”The doctor exhaled slowly. “She’s alive... for now. We managed to stabilize her, but she suffered a cerebral trauma. She's in a coma. It’s too early to predict the long-term e

Three minutes passed before Jack Adams finally stirred. His lashes fluttered. The world was a swirling haze of light and muffled voices. His vision was a blur, but he could make out legs,dozens of them,belonging to people who had rushed to the crash site.Strong arms lifted him. A familiar voice called his name."Jack! Jack! Jack!"A sharp slap landed on his cheek. His eyes widened, and his vision snapped into focus. Clark’s face hovered above him, blood streaking down his arm, his other hand clutching his ribs.Jack coughed. “Clark… are you okay?”“I’m alive.” Clark muttered through gritted teeth. “Hurts like hell, though. I think my arm’s broken.”Jack tried to sit up, but a searing pain shot through his left leg. He let out a cry.“Don’t move!” Clark warned. “Your left leg is dislocated. Look at it.”Jack then gazed at his left leg and saw his left leg was dislocated He trembled from the pain, but his gaze darted around in panic. “Where’s Emilia?”Clark’s eyes dropped to the

Jack's eyes widened in shock as the words on the screen made his heart pound violently. Butler Goof stood beside him, equally stunned. "What does that message mean?" He asked, his voice barely above a whisper.Jack held his chin, deep in thought. "How did a message this personal, meant only for Doctor Chong, end up on this computer?"Butler Goof glanced at Jack, then at the glowing screen. "This isn't just any computer,Mr Jack. It was custom-built by Lord Williams himself back when he suspected foul play in the council. It intercepts and decrypts any hidden messages that go through the city’s high-level encrypted network.”“That includes anything from private government emails to criminal syndicate communication. It doesn't just receive messages,it scans and stores digital footprints and can trace the origin of any message.”Jack looked impressed but shook his head. "There's no time to admire tech right now."Just then, the computer chimed. Another message had arrived.Doctor Cho

Emilia’s gaze lingered on Jack, curiosity sparkling in her eyes. His smile had grown.“What is it?” Emilia asked, her tone soft.Jack glanced at her. “Butler Goof just called to inform me that what I am researching has finally displayed on my computer screen. It is a rare drug,one even stronger than the red serum your grandfather, Lord Williams, gave me.”Emilia’s eyes widened in surprise. “Seriously? That’s amazing.”Jack nodded, but the gleam in his eyes dimmed slightly. “It is. But I still don’t know what it really does. I want to understand its full effects,how dangerous it might be.”“Then go research it.” Emilia said, her tone laced with encouragement .“Check what Butler Goof found.”Jack peeked at her with a playful smirk. “Can’t I do it later?”“Nope.” She responded, poking him gently on the arm. “You should go now.”Jack opened his mouth to argue,but his stomach growled, loud and unignorable.Emilia laughed, her hand flying to her lips. “Hungry, Mr Hero?”Jack chuck

Justine Bradley and Betty Thomas strutted toward their table, heels clacking against the polished floor like war drums. Their presence turned heads, and when they reached the table, their faces twisted into sneers.“Well, look who decided to show their faces in public.” Betty said coldly, her arms folded beneath her designer blazer.“Good morning.” Emilia replied with grace, smiling warmly despite the tension.But Betty scoffed. “Spare me the pleasantries, Miss Emilia. Your greeting isn’t acceptable.”Her voice darkened as she leaned forward, eyes sharp as glass. “You should start preparing to hand over ninety-nine percent of your inheritance. That’s what’s coming.”Emilia stood, her eyes not wavering for a second. “And you, Betty, should be the one getting ready to hand over ninety-nine percent of your company. Or have you forgotten? The Williams family doesn’t lose. Not when it comes to contracts like this.”Betty’s face tightened. Her voice rose slightly. “This year, my compa

Jack’s brows furrowed slightly as he stepped aside, allowing Emilia to walk into the mansion. The early morning chill still clung to her coat, and her eyes held a dull weight that hadn’t been there before.“What do you need help with?” Jack asked, his voice deep and tinged with curiosity.She looked up at him, lips parting slowly. “My assistant… he traveled and hasn’t returned yet. He’s the one with the best idea for the campaign.” Her voice trailed, laced with tension soft but.Jack’s gaze flickered toward the glowing computer screen still searching, then back to Emilia. He took in her face,slightly pale, stress carved into her features and something in him shifted. I can’t just let her walk away like this, he thought to himself.He stepped closer, motioned for her to sit, then sank down beside her. “What do you need the idea for, exactly?”Emilia exhaled deeply.“For the campaign. It’s supposed to be finalized before the end of this week. I need something compelling… something d
