Chris walked back home with excitement buzzing through his veins. He was so close to hitting the jackpot.He was just a step away from getting what he wanted without ever revealing to the world that he was the Dragon Lord.FALCON GROUP was almost back in his hands.Everything had been going smoothly. He had been this close to reclaiming it all, until Zack suddenly decided to act tough.Chris did not mind.In fact, he found it amusing.One thing he was absolutely sure of was that no matter what happened, Zack would still reach out to him in the end. And when that time came, Zack would taste bitterness.Even if FALCON was not transferred to him immediately, Chris would still win. Zack would lose someone precious to him.

Chloe had expected her words to reach Aria in some way. At least to crack something inside her, to make her hesitate or show a flicker of doubt. But Aria remained exactly where she was, unmoved.There was no remorse on her face. No sign that she was reconsidering her stance or preparing to back down from what she believed in.Melanie was visibly taken aback. She had assumed Aria would soften after hearing Chloe speak. Was she truly serious about this? Was she really going ahead with the marriage?The thought unsettled her. She could not hold it in anymore. Someone had to confront Aria and remind her that she was choosing a path that could ruin everything she had worked so hard for.Determined, Melanie stepped forward and grabbed Aria’s arm firmly.“What’s wrong with you, Aria?” she asked, her voice tight with concern. “Why aren’t you moved at all by what Chloe just said? Are you seriously going to stand there and watch while someone else takes over everything you’ve built over the yea
175. Marry Him And Lose Everything Or Divorce Him!
Olga’s utterance sent a wave of shock through the entire hall, hitting the guests like a sudden clap of thunder. The Winters, in particular, were visibly shaken.None of them had ever known that laws like this existed. They had no idea that an heiress could lose her authority simply by getting married. In this case, it meant that Aria would lose every property she once owned if she went ahead with the marriage.Such a consequence would stain her name and reputation.Standing among the crowd, Melanie could not bear to watch it happen.The moment she caught sight of Aria’s expression, calm and unyielding, Melanie’s heart clenched. There was no trace of fear or hesitation on her friend’s face. Unable to hold herself back any longer, she hurried toward her.Her voice came out sharp with concern.“What are you thinking about, Aria?” Melanie demanded, gripping her arm. “I’m telling you this not just as a friend, but as a sister. You’re walking down the wrong path, and I can guarantee you on
174. The Will Rule!
Everyone was stunned by the confidence in Tyler’s voice. Even Becca could tell he was serious. The way he spoke carried heavy anger, and the vengeance laced in his tone sent a clear warning to both Becca and Gloria. Tyler was not joking. He meant every single word.However, the words that came from Tyler’s mouth did not seem to affect Perry at all.Instead of feeling uneasy or threatened, Perry was more interested in belittling him. He stepped closer, closing the distance between them, his lips curling in mockery as he spoke.“Was that supposed to be a threat?” Perry asked.Tyler shook his head slowly, his eyes locked on Perry’s face. “It is not a threat, Perry. It has never been a threat.”He paused, then continued, his voice firm and cold. “But you can take it as one if you want. That would not be a bad idea, would it? Threats are meant to make a person more careful. So if you are reasonable enough, you will understand in your heart that I am giving you a warning.”Tyler took a smal
173. I Will Make You Suffer
Everyone in the hall was stunned. Even Aria herself.Her gaze moved slowly from Tyler’s agitated face to Gloria’s frightened expression, then finally to Becca, whose eyes were stretched wide in shock. The reactions were too strong to be ignored. It was clear now. There was something Gloria, Tyler, and Becca were hiding.But what could it be?Tyler let out a low chuckle and shrugged his shoulders, his eyes never leaving Gloria.“What happened, Gloria?” he asked calmly. “Why did you stop me from saying the truth so the entire world would know the real identity of your family?”Gloria shook her head, her lips trembling as tears threatened to spill. Her mind raced, searching desperately for how Tyler could have discovered the truth she had buried for so long.Before she could gather herself, Tyler spoke again.“I know you’re shocked,” he said, his voice firm. “Yes, Gloria. I know about it. But that secret is yours, isn’t it? And you’ve done everything possible to cover it up.” He paused,
172. STOP
Olga shook her head slowly, fury burning in her eyes. What exactly was Aria saying?She would not throw Tyler out of her house.The thought alone sounded ridiculous to her.With an irritated huff, Olga flipped her hair back, her chest rising as anger tightened around her. This was disrespect of the highest order, and it was coming from Aria. Aria, of all people. The same girl who had never once spoken against her, never questioned her words. Yet here she was, openly disagreeing with her in front of everyone.Before Olga could speak again, Chloe stepped forward angrily. She grabbed Aria by the hand and pulled her closer, her grip tight and unforgiving.“Are you even aware of what you just did?” Chloe snapped, her voice sharp. “Did you just disrespect Mother’s words all because of that guy standing there, huh?”Aria said nothing. She kept her gaze lowered, her lips pressed together, choosing silence over argument.But Chloe was not done.She moved closer, her voice rising as frustration
