255. He's Not Your Baby's Papa!
Alyana’s words struck Franco like the deepest shock he had ever felt. The moment they left her mouth, his expression froze, and he stood there, stunned to his core.To begin with, Franco hadn’t invited Alyana to his welcome party. Even at this moment, the last thing he had expected to hear was that she was coming here — to his welcome party.If he wasn’t mistaken, Alyana had once told him she was pregnant with his child. Although he found it hard to believe at the time, he had still been deeply unsettled by the way she declared that she wouldn’t let him see his own child. And now, what was this he was hearing?That the little boy should meet his father?Franco let out a low chuckle.Before reacting further, he carefully examined the surroundings. From the looks on the guests’ faces, everyone was clearly surprised. Soft whispers had already begun to spread across the hall.“The Ruffian Lord has a son out of wedlock?” someone gasped.Another voice quickly followed, thick with disbelief.

As they all glared at Tyler, their minds swirled with countless unanswered questions.Olga’s lips refused to close. She kept muttering under her breath, her voice trembling with confusion.“What’s going on? What… what is all this?”Aria was just as stunned as the others. Her eyes widened, and she found herself silently questioning what she was seeing.“How did Tyler manage to get a card as mighty as this?” she wondered, her heart pounding.What shocked them the most was the identity attached to the A+ List Card.It was not just powerful — it was a title. A status. A symbol that had been possessed by only one person in the entire world.Aria’s grandfather.But he was dead.Which meant there should only be one person in existence who had the right to hold that card now — the one representing him in the military cadre. And that person was, of course, the new General of Team Elite.However, as things stood, no one had officially taken that position yet. The identity of the new General had
253. The A-LIST Card
Olga looked back—and to her deepest shock, it was Aria who had spoken.She couldn’t comprehend it.Aria was defending Tyler again? After everything that had happened?Unbelievable.Even Brantley was stunned.He licked the blood at the corner of his lips and clenched his fists tightly. When he had seen Olga arrive earlier, he had been certain she would stand by him—whether Tyler was telling the truth or not.But Aria standing beside Tyler?That was something he had never seen coming.And now that Aria was finally acting with a clear conscience, what came next? Would she throw him behind bars?Brantley shook his head slowly.He couldn’t allow Tyler’s name to be cleared. He couldn’t let his own identity walk away without a stain.He had to lie.One way or another.Anger blazed across his face as he stepped forward, deliberately faking weakness as he spoke.“Look at me, Aria,” Brantley said, his voice trembling as he lifted his hands weakly. “Do I look like a rapist? Do I look like someon
252. Tyler Is Innocent!
Tyler froze when he saw them—Olga, Chloe, Henry, and Melanie standing there.Shock flickered across his face. He hadn’t known they were present. Not even for a second.As his gaze swept over them, Olga’s eyes suddenly locked onto the figure crumpled on the floor.“Aria!”She rushed forward immediately, fake tears already shimmering in her eyes. Dropping to Aria’s side, she grabbed her arm and helped drag her upright, all while twisting her head to glare at Tyler.“What on earth have you done to my daughter, Aria?” Olga screamed, her voice trembling with practiced outrage. “I knew you were a ruthless animal from the very first day I met you—and today, you’ve proven you’re exactly the devil I thought you were!”Tyler opened his mouth, but Olga didn’t give him the chance.“You were in jail, weren’t you?” she continued, her voice rising as she pointed a trembling finger at him. “Now tell me—what have you come back here to do, huh? Officers!” She turned sharply toward the police. “Arrest t
251. Nobody Moves!
Tyler didn’t seem to care about the question Aria had asked him. He gently brushed the strands of hair away from her eyes and nodded, his expression calm and reassuring.“Yes, Aria. I’m here,” he said softly, warming her cold hands between his palms. “Don’t worry. I’m already here, and I know for sure that nothing is going to harm you.”As he spoke, he continued smoothing her hair and rubbing her hands to keep her warm, his attention completely fixed on her.Behind him, Brantley had already risen from where he had been thrown. Quietly, he picked up the iron rod lying beside him and began to creep forward, his steps slow and careful.Tyler didn’t notice.He was still smiling at Aria, gently massaging her hand, focused only on comforting her.Within seconds, Brantley was right behind him. He lifted the iron high, preparing to strike Tyler from the back.But just as Brantley was about to bring it down, Tyler suddenly reached back and caught the iron firmly with one hand, not even turning
