Chapter 174Outside the CourtroomJeffery had been taken to a holding cell inside the courthouse. The police had tightened security; he was no longer free to roam, and every attempt to contact him was monitored.His face was pale, veins prominent as he banged on the steel bars.“They think this ends me?!” he screamed. “They think I’m done? I am untouchable! Do you hear me? UNT-TOUCH-ABLE!”A guard approached cautiously.“Quiet, Mr. Wellington,” he said firmly.Jeffery turned, eyes wild, and snarled.“You’ll see! You all will see! Alexander Hale… Morrelo… I will drag everyone down with me!”Even behind bars, his voice carried malice, a promise that the battle wasn’t over.Alexander stepped out into the brisk afternoon air. The sun hit his face, and for the first time in weeks, he allowed himself to breathe without the tightness in his chest.Matias and Luca flanked him as they approached the car.“Boss,” Matias said cautiously, “Jeffery’s out of immediate reach, but he’s dangerous. He’
Jury judgement
CHAPTER Jeffery’s screams still echoed faintly down the hallway long after the courtroom doors slammed shut behind him. Even people outside shifted nervously, hearing the madness in his voice.Judge Hart lifted her gavel but didn’t strike it yet.Instead, she turned her sharp gaze toward the defense table.“Mr. Sanders,” she said dryly, “I sincerely hope your client calms himself before he is brought back into this courtroom.”Jeffery’s lawyer looked like a man ready to resign from the profession entirely.“Yes, Your Honor… I will speak with him.”The judge leaned back in her chair and exhaled through her nose.“Let us proceed.”Velma stood, her voice crisp.“The prosecution calls its next witness: Daniel Cortez.”A man in his late thirties walked in — one of the attackers who had confessed during interrogation. He wore a simple prison jumpsuit, shackles on his wrists, but his face carried a look of acceptance — as if he had finally stopped running.The courtroom buzzed with tension.
The lose case
CHAPTER 179The courthouse was overflowing.Reporters clustered outside the steps like vultures sensing fresh prey. Microphones flashed like lightning, cameras clicked in rapid-fire bursts, and crowds whispered as the black government vehicles pulled up one by one.Everyone knew today would be historic.Everyone knew someone powerful was about to fall.What they didn’t know was how far he would fall.Inside the courthouse, Alexander sat quietly in the first row behind the prosecution table. He looked calm, composed, almost cold — but beneath that exterior was a heart beating with years of betrayal.He stared straight ahead, hands clasped tightly in his lap.Velma Richardson stood beside him, preparing her files with the precision of a surgeon. She had not slept. She had not eaten. For two straight days, she had read every line of evidence, compiling a case so airtight it resembled a sealed tomb.The doors burst open.Jeffery entered.Handcuffed.Escorted by federal agents.His once-im
Peaceful
CHAPTER 178The morning Alexander received the final file, the sun had barely risen. The skies glowed with a thin, pale light like the heavens themselves were holding their breath for what was about to unfold. Alexander stood in his study, staring down at the thick envelope on his desk. His fingers brushed over the seal once, twice, as if preparing himself mentally before opening it.Inside the envelope lay everything—every lie, every manipulation, every hidden transaction, every attempt Jeffery had made to destroy him, including the final brutal evidence of how Jeffery had tried to kill him. The documents were crisp and cold, the ink still smelling faintly of fresh printing.For a long moment, Alexander didn’t move.Not because he was afraid… but because he had been waiting for this day for years.Waiting for justice.Waiting for truth to finally crush the man who had tormented him for so long.Waiting to breathe freely without the weight of betrayal pressing against his ribs.When h
End
Chapter 178Paxton had stepped outside his apartment to take a call when he saw a black van parked too long near his building. It didn’t feel right.He squinted, trying to see the plate.Then his phone buzzed again—it was his mother.Paxton answered reluctantly. “Mother, what now?”Mrs Donatoes spoke in a shaky voice.“Paxton… be careful. I think Jeffery is spiraling. He just called me now… laughing. Saying something big is coming.”Paxton froze.His chest tightened.Something big?Something like what?Before he could ask, he noticed someone inside the van turn their head toward him.His instincts screamed.“Mother, I will call you back,” Paxton whispered, stepping away.He ducked behind a pillar.The van engine roared to life.Paxton’s heartbeat spiked.No. Not now. Not again.This time, he grabbed his phone and called the only person who would respond instantly.“Alexander,” Paxton whispered.“What happened?”“I’m being watched.”“Where are you?”Paxton gave the address.There was a
Retrievement
Chapter 177The video played in Alexander’s private server room—an underground chamber only three people had access to: Alexander, Matias, and Luca.The footage from Jeffery’s office projected onto the main screen.Alexander stood completely still, hands behind his back, eyes fixed on the screen as Roman picked up the photo of Leonardo and smirked.Matias muttered a curse. “They truly have no fear.”Luca stepped closer, lowering the volume. “Boss… this is the final proof. Jeffery and Roman working together. And whatever is in that metal box… it concerns your uncle, your father friends.”Alexander said nothing.But his jaw clenched so tightly that the muscles in his cheek twitched.Leonardo Morrelo was the one person Alexander respected unconditionally. The man who mentored him, who guided him, who protected him when he has nobody abroad in a strange country. The only person he trusted with his life.And Jeffery had targeted him.Matias exhaled quietly. “Boss… we need to tell Leonardo.
