Chapter 158
Rachel walked quickly from the main gate of Amex Residence, her footsteps echoing loudly along the quiet road. Three minutes felt much longer than usual. The heels she wore had begun to torture her feet, but she kept forcing herself forward. The humid night air left her hair slightly messy, her makeup starting to fade, and a thin layer of sweat forming at her temples.“So embarrassing… truly embarrassing,” she muttered softly, her breath slightly uneven."FUCK!" Every step felt like a slap to her pride. She, Rachel, who had always maintained her appearance and status—now had to walk from the gate because Frank’s rental car was denied entry. Even the security guards had looked at her strangely earlier.Finally, she arrived in front of Thom’s house.The door opened, and the moment she stepped inside, the first thing she saw was Jasmine sitting casually on the sofa, watching television in a relaxed position—as if she were the lady of the house.In an instant, Rachel’s emotions exploded.

The encrypted message arrived within seconds. A soft notification sound echoed through Heramia’s luxurious penthouse. The tablet screen in front of her lit up, casting a cold glow onto her expressionless face. She didn’t move immediately. Her fingers tapped lightly against the marble table, rhythmic, as if counting something. Then, slowly, she picked up the tablet.The photos appeared—clear, sharp, undeniable. A woman in the front seat. Elegant. Calm. Beautiful. A small child in the back seat. Vulnerable. Helpless.Heramia’s lips curved slightly. “So… this is the weakness,” she murmured softly.One of her subordinates stood nearby, head slightly bowed. “Yes, Miss. The woman has been identified as Jasmine. And the child, Shenina—Thom Haye’s daughter. Our team has been following them since they left the venue.”Heramia zoomed in on the image of Shenina’s sleeping face. Her gaze was cold, calculating. “Perfect,” she said quietly.The man hesitated for a moment. “Do we move now?”Her

Frank frowned, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. “Huh? See you next week? What do you mean?” he asked, his tone rising half an octave, as if he couldn’t believe someone dared to challenge him tonight.Thom looked at him calmly, a faint smile still lingering on his lips. “What do you think?”Frank let out a short laugh, but it sounded forced. “I think you’re just bluffing. You’re jealous of me, Thom. You don’t want to lose, that’s why you’re talking as if you’ll be at the White House next week. Right?” He crossed his arms, his chest puffing out even wider. “That’s impossible. Who do you think you are? You won’t be able to enter the White House! Even its security is tighter than a king’s palace. Who do you think you are? A former soldier who suddenly became a star overnight?”Guests at nearby tables began to glance over, but Thom remained unfazed. He simply shrugged lightly. “We’ll see in a week, brother.”The word “brother” came out casually, almost friendly, but there was someth
Chapter 155
The woman’s name was Heramia. She was 30 years old. The glass of red wine in her hand swirled slowly, the liquid shifting like thickened blood. The screen replayed Thom Haye’s speech—his figure stood straight at the podium, his voice calm yet commanding the VIP room of the King of War’s birthday party.Heramia Rolland, known as the criminal princess who ruled Brazam County. Brazam County was not a place for the weak. There, bandits roamed like wolves, drug and weapons trafficking flowed like rivers, and the law was nothing more than an expensive joke.She slammed the glass onto the marble table until it shattered. Shards of glass glittered across the floor like blood crystals. “Of course I will take revenge,” she said coldly, her voice trembling with restrained fury. “I didn’t expect the one who destroyed my family to be such a handsome man who looks so weak.” “He’s a former soldier? Loyal to the country? I’m sure he’ll crumble easily if I give him enough money. Then, I’ll kill hi
Chapter 154
Thom rose slowly from his seat, his neatly tailored black suit glinting faintly under the light of the crystal chandelier hanging majestically from the ceiling of the VIP room. He stepped forward steadily across the long red carpet that stretched from their table to the main stage. The stage lights began to follow his movement, framing his figure like a hero emerging from the shadows. The room, which had been filled with whispers, now fell silent, leaving only the sound of held breaths and the first ripples of applause beginning to roll.Frank gaped, his mouth open without a sound, his eyes wide as if witnessing something impossible. He turned to Rachel, Madam Yosie, and Mr. Edmund with a face full of confusion and anger. “How is this possible?” he muttered, his voice trembling between disbelief and fury. “Are they blind? Asking a problematic former soldier like him to represent the King of War? This is insane! He’s just… just Thom!”Rachel lowered her head, her arms tightening arou
Chapter 153
Frank fell silent instantly. Thom’s words were like a cold blade stabbing straight into his chest. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. It was indeed true that Thom and Rachel were already in an open marriage. The marriage was merely a formality on paper, without any obligation for the husband to provide anything for his wife. Frank’s face turned pale, his confident smile vanished in an instant, replaced by a stiff expression filled with defeat. Rachel stared at Frank for a long moment, her eyes flat yet full of consideration. She took the Hermes bag with a slow movement, her fingers brushing over the expensive leather as if weighing its worth. “Thank you, Frank,” she said softly, her voice almost a whisper. “I accept you again. We’re getting back together.” Frank immediately broke into a wide smile, his eyes shining again. The smile was full of victory. But the happiest of all was Madam Yosie. Her face brightened at once, her lips curving wide until they nearly reached
