2024-08-30 16:39:05Logan looked at Bethany and her lawyer, pointing at the divorce agreement, and angrily questioned, “What does this mean? I paid for the land and building materials for this house, and I built it with my own hands. Why are you demanding that I move out immediately? What kind of bullshit condition is this?”
In the face of Logan's fury, the lawyer didn’t flinch; instead, he spoke confidently, “Mr. Logan, as far as I know, the ownership of this land is under my client’s name. The property belongs to Ms. Bethany.” His tone was somewhat mocking, as if he were laughing at Logan for being a fool. Logan suddenly remembered that he had purchased the land in Bethany's name before they were married, which meant that, in principle, this house was considered Bethany's premarital property. “Bethany, you cheated! Now you even want to take my house. Don’t you feel any shame?” Logan shouted. The thought of Bethany living openly with her lover in the house he had built with his own hands made Logan feel sick. “Shame or morals—can those things turn into money? And you say I cheated? Where’s your proof? If you don’t have evidence, then you’re just slandering me!” Bethany retorted coldly. “There are your medical records from the hospital showing a ruptured corpus luteum. Isn’t that evidence?” Logan said through gritted teeth. At that moment, the lawyer interjected, “Mr. Logan, you’re confusing concepts. Cheating and a ruptured corpus luteum are not related. A ruptured corpus luteum can also be caused by other activities.” “That’s right, I injured myself because I overused some adult toys yesterday,” Bethany slyly defended herself. “You...” Logan was shocked by the shamelessness of both of them. After a moment of silence, Logan didn’t want to argue with them about the ownership of the house anymore. For him, the most important thing was custody of his daughter. He could give Bethany the house, the car, and all his savings. Sighing, Logan calmly said, “Bethany, I can give you the house, the car, and the savings. But I want custody of Hillary! She has to live with me; you can’t take care of her!” Bethany burst into laughter, then coldly replied, “The house belongs to me anyway, and I don’t need that old junker of a car. As for the savings, are you talking about that $130.60? Then you can have $65.30, which is enough for you to go to KFC for a meal. You think I’m going to give up custody of my daughter? Not a chance!” “What? How is that possible?” Logan’s eyes widened in disbelief at the number. He had saved at least $200,000 over the years, all of which he had given to Bethany. How could it be... Logan realized that since Bethany was so materialistic, she must have squandered all that money! That despicable woman! Although Logan was so angry that his body trembled slightly, he had to humiliate himself to appease her. “Bethany, you need to think this through. Hillary will interfere with your dating life; you won’t have the time or energy to take care of her.” “I will not give up custody of Hillary!” Bethany said flatly, her tone very firm. As long as she got custody of Hillary, Logan would have to pay her a hefty amount in child support every year. She not only wanted to take everything from Logan but also wanted him to work like a slave after the divorce! Logan said darkly, “That’s impossible! You can’t take the responsibility to raise Hillary! You’re not a qualified mother!” “Fool, I’m not negotiating with you; this is a notification!” Bethany looked at him with disdain and said arrogantly. Meanwhile, the lawyer chimed in, “That’s right, this is a notification for you, Mr. Logan.” “I should reintroduce myself. I’m Troy Reece. My aunt is a judge at the city court!” the lawyer said proudly in front of Logan. However, when Logan heard the name Troy, he nearly lost his mind. This man, Troy, had the audacity to come to his home, flaunting his lawyer status, and openly challenge him. Logan didn’t even register what Troy said next; he angrily grabbed his collar. But Troy was unafraid, raising his hands in a surrender gesture and mockingly saying, “Mr. Logan, if you use violence against a lawyer, it won’t bode well for your upcoming divorce trial.” Furious, Logan glared at Troy’s smug face, his fists clenched tightly. He wanted to beat this despicable man senseless, but for the sake of his daughter’s custody, he couldn’t! In the end, Logan calmed down, released his fists, and took a deep look at Troy, committing his appearance to memory. Logan vowed that he would make this man pay dearly! Just as the atmosphere in the living room became tense, Hillary came waddling out, cutely calling, “Mommy, Daddy...”

CHAPTER 263
As the night grew deeper, the table emptied, leaving only Logan, Alexander, Seraphina, and Udinov nursing their drinks. Patricia had gone to check on a renovation project upstairs, giving Logan a rare moment alone with his children. He leaned forward, resting his arms on the table. “You’re all too busy.” Seraphina smirked. “That’s rich, coming from you.” Logan chuckled. “I know. But when was the last time you all sat like this? No boardrooms, no deals, no strategies?” None of them answered and then Logan sighed. “You were raised to be strong, to command, to win. But power without family means nothing.” Alexander exhaled, rubbing his temples. “You’re getting sentimental here, Dad.” “Maybe,” Logan admitted and continued; “Or maybe I just don’t want you three to lose what I fought so hard to build, which was not the empire, but this.” Alexander tapped the rim of his glass. “And what exactly is this?” Logan looked at them, they were his legacy, his greatest creations, he utt
CHAPTER 262
Udinov got another text from his dad's right hand that the meeting was postponed, so he decided to join Seraphina and Alexander for dinner at their family estate, then he would go back home to his parents after. Besides, the Bentley family are like his first home, he calls Patricia ‘mama’ and she treats him like a second son she never had. They boarded a flight and headed home. The Bentley Estate was standing brightly, in the twilight, its grandeur was untouched by time. The sprawling mansion was an empire in itself, it was where titans were raised. Tonight, however it was not about power or strategy, it was about family. Seraphina Bentley stepped out of her sleek car, a product of her company’s innovation. The estate’s lights illuminated the driveway, which was a path she had walked on since childhood. She didn’t need to knock, the doors swung open as if the house itself knew she had arrived. "About time," a familiar voice drawled. She smirked as Alexander leaned again
CHAPTER 261
Seraphina, Alexander, and Udinov had eliminated The Black Concordat. The world was once again theirs. But power was never still. It was always shifting, always evolving. And now, they had to decide if they would rule the world as it was or if they would reshape it? They didn’t just want an empire, they wanted absolute dominion. Few months later, in a private island in the Mediterranean A meeting unlike any other had been arranged. The most powerful people in the world, billionaires, world leaders, and shadow rulers all arrived in secret, each escorted by heavily armed security. But at the center of it all, inside a grand glass-walled hall overlooking the ocean, stood three figures. They were none other than Seraphina, his twin brother Alexander Bentley and Udinov Volkov. This meeting wasn't one of negotiation, it was a declaration. Seraphina spoke first, her voice steady and commanding. "You are all here because you think you control the world, but let me make something
CHAPTER 260
With the Dominions wiped out, the Bentley-Volkov dynasty had reclaimed its throne. The war between the heirs had turned into an alliance, one built on necessity, respect, and the undeniable truth that they were stronger together. But power never truly rests, the world watched, waiting to see if Seraphina, Alexander, and Udinov would hold their reign, or if a new storm was already brewing. Two months after Dominion's fall, the three heirs met again, this time in Hong Kong, inside a high-rise that belonged to Bentley International Banking. Inside the boardroom, tension crackled like a coming storm. Seraphina stood at the head of the table, her gaze sharp. "Dominion wasn’t the end." Alexander leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. "Go on." She tapped on the table, and a holographic display flickered to life filled with names, locations, financial transactions. "Before Dominion fell, someone else was moving in the shadows, picking up the pieces. They call themselves The Bl
CHAPTER 259
Over the years, many years later, the world had changed. The names Bentley and Volkov were no longer just synonymous with wealth. They had become something more, they had become an unstoppable dynasty that shaped economies, influenced governments, and controlled the very pulse of power in the world. Logan Bentley and Damien Volkov had done the impossible, they had not only built an empire, but they had ensured its survival. But every empire faces its greatest challenge, because the bigger it becomes the more threats it attracts. And this time, the threat wasn’t from the outside like it used to be, this particular one was from within. Seraphina Bentley grew up to become the Visionary of the empire, she had always been so smart and took her father's brilliance and foresight. She is a strategist, a builder, a force just at the age of twenty-three, she had transformed Bentley Innovations into an empire of the future, dominating artificial intelligence, clean energy, and spac
CHAPTER 258
The next day, Troy Reece and his son stood by the balcony, he didn't allow him to go back home the night before for fear he would get abducted. There were unspoken words between them For years, Troy had imagined this very moment when he would talk to his son in person again, he had rehearsed apologies in the quiet of his guilt, whispered confessions into thin air, but now, standing before his son, no words seemed enough. Ethan’s fists clenched at his sides, his expression unreadable. There was hesitation in his eyes, a war between the hurt of abandonment and the reluctant gratitude he couldn’t ignore. The weight of Troy’s absence had shaped him in ways no one would hope for, but then the knowledge that his father had, in his own way, protected him from Arthur’s threats, from a darkness Ethan never fully understood. "You left me," Ethan said at last, his voice quiet but razor-sharp. "For years, I told myself I’d never forgive you, I even hoped we would never meet." Troy’s th
