Chapter 216
Megan saw the danger in his silence immediately.She knew this version of Kai. She knew that when he became too quiet, it was not because he had calmed down it was because his rage had gone inward, where it became far more difficult to contain. Without wasting another second, she hurried after him.“Kai!” she called.But he did not answer.He kept walking down the hallway toward the room, his steps fast, sharp, and full of suppressed fury. Megan followed closely behind him, her own heart racing now as she tried to catch up.Before he could get all the way into the room, Kai suddenly stopped and spun around.And then he flared up.“My father is trying to annoy me!” he snapped, his voice bursting out with all the frustration he had been holding in. “He is deliberately trying to annoy me! What have I not done? Tell me, Megan, what have I not done? What exactly have I not done for this family?”His eyes blazed with wounded pride and anger.“Just look at the disgrace,” he continued. “Just

At that moment, after hearing what Mr. Bushman had just said, Dr. Kai’s expression changed almost immediately.For a brief second, he simply stood there, staring at the older man as though he had just been handed yet another insult wrapped in a smile. Then the corner of his mouth twitched, and he let out a short, dry scoff one that carried more contempt than amusement.“Who doesn’t have a Ferrari?” Kai said sharply.His voice was dismissive, almost offended by the idea that such a thing was supposed to impress him.“Who doesn’t have a Ferrari?” he repeated, this time with even more scorn. “If I really wanted to get one for myself, I would have gotten one a long time ago. And besides, it’s not even that special of a car anymore. It’s not some rare miracle that people are dying to get their hands on. It’s not such a big deal. So why exactly are you making it sound like some life-changing achievement?”The words were proud, but the pride in them was forced too rigid, too defensive, too e

He let that sink in before continuing, clearly enjoying every second of it.“Yes doubled. And not just doubled. At the rate things are moving, by tomorrow it might even be tripled.”Mr. Bushman smiled and took a sip from his glass, then continued with smug delight.“So you see, this should serve as a warning to everyone never look down on anyone you see. Never assume that the person you think is small will remain small. Never mock a man whose future you do not understand. That is the lesson here.”His voice became even more self-satisfied.“And do you know the juiciest part of all this? Everything happened recently. Very recently. The rise is so sharp it is almost unbelievable.”By then, Dr. Kai’s expression had darkened.Every single word coming from Mr. Bushman’s mouth felt like provocation.And that was exactly what it was.Kai was getting angry not only because of what was being said, but because of who was saying it. Mr. Bushman had never liked him, and Kai had never liked Mr. Bu

It was not long before Dr. Kai arrived home.Yet even though he had made it back safely, there was nothing calm or normal about the state he was in. His body was still tense, his shoulders rigid, and his mind was nowhere near settled. The images he had seen on the CCTV footage kept replaying in his head.It was not just shocking, It was deeply disturbing.Because if what he had seen was real—and he knew it was—then William was no longer the insignificant young man people had once looked down on. He was no longer someone who could be brushed aside, insulted, or handled whenever convenient. Something had changed. Something massive. And Dr. Kai could feel it in his bones.He pushed open the door and stepped into the living room, the first thing he noticed was laughter.Warm, relaxed, unbothered laughter.That was what made him pause.Megan was seated comfortably with her father, Mr. Bushman, and the two of them were visibly having a very pleasant time together. There were drinks in front

Deborah’s breathing grew heavier.“Criminal activities?” she repeated. “You are already calling them criminal activities?”“Your husband has been arrested,” Jeremy said. “His lawyers have abandoned him. His political party has expelled him. His businesses are collapsing. His associates are being investigated. Do you honestly think this is a minor misunderstanding?”Deborah looked toward the station again.For the first time, the reality of the situation seemed to press down on her with its full weight. Jefferson’s father had not merely suffered a political setback. He had been arrested under the authority of an official warrant. The legal firm had refused to represent him. His party had turned against him. Every business connection was breaking apart.And now Jeremy was also abandoning them.“Who is doing this?” Deborah asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Jeremy did not answer immediately.When he finally spoke, his tone had changed. The anger was gone, replaced by something much
Chapter 211
For several seconds, Deborah remained completely silent. The phone was still pressed against her ear, but Jeremy’s words had left her so stunned that she could barely remember how to breathe. She had expected him to answer with concern. She had expected him to ask what had happened, to offer advice, or at the very least to reassure her that he would speak to the right people and help get Jefferson’s father released. Instead, Jeremy had answered as though she were a stranger. Worse than that, he had spoken to her as though her entire family had become a disease he was desperate to avoid. Deborah’s eyes widened as she stared blankly at the police station doors. The sound of the crowd, the reporters, and the passing vehicles seemed to fade into the background. All she could hear was Jeremy’s warning repeating inside her head. "Do not ever call me again." Her grip tightened around the phone. “Why would you say that?” she finally asked, her voice trembling with disbelief. “Wha
