Chapter 87
Sophia swallowed nervously as she listened to Simon Brown speaking on the other end of the phone, her fingers tightening around the device while she tried to understand how everything had suddenly become so complicated.For years, she had believed that Raymond was no longer someone she needed to worry about, especially after everything that had happened in the past. She had moved on with her life, built a successful acting career, and surrounded herself with people who could help her become even more famous.Yet here she was, standing inside a movie studio, listening to Simon tell her that the very man they had believed was dead had suddenly appeared before him.What frightened her most was not simply the fact that Raymond was alive, but the possibility that he might already know things that could destroy everything she had worked so hard to build."Simon, are you absolutely certain that the person you saw was Raymond?" she asked again, although she knew that repeating the question wo

But Raymond had returned.And Simon could not shake the feeling that the man had returned for a reason."Simon, I asked you a question," Sophia said again, her voice becoming sharper. "What exactly are we going to do about him?"Simon released a heavy breath before answering."What else do you expect us to do, Sophia? The first assassination attempt failed, and I still don't understand how that bastard managed to survive it, but sitting around asking questions isn't going to change anything."Sophia's expression tightened immediately.Even though she knew what had happened in the past, hearing Simon speak so openly about the assassination made her uncomfortable.She glanced toward the closed door, almost afraid that someone might be standing outside listening to her conversation."Simon, be careful with what you're saying," she warned quietly. "You don't know who might hear you.""I'm inside my car, Sophia, and there's nobody here with me, so stop worrying about that and pay attention
Chapter 85
Sophia looked around the quiet room where she had stepped away from the movie set.A few minutes earlier, she had been thinking about her next scene and the people she needed to impress, but now all those things seemed far less important.She could already imagine what would happen if the truth became public.The entertainment companies that were eager to work with her might suddenly begin avoiding her, while the people who praised her today could easily become the same people insulting her tomorrow.Even worse, the secrets she had worked so hard to hide might bring consequences far beyond losing a few acting roles.She had always believed that the past would remain buried.Now Simon was telling her that Raymond had returned, and the thought alone made her stomach tighten."Did he mention anything specific?" she asked carefully. "Did he say what he knows, or did he only threaten you?"Simon frowned."What difference does that make?""It makes a difference because we need to know wheth
Chapter 84
He remembered the confidence with which he and Sophia had believed their problem was finally over.They had been certain that Raymond would never appear before them again, and Simon had even started enjoying the benefits of the project he had obtained through Malisa.Malisa had trusted him enough to hand over Raymond's project, and Simon had used it to win a contract that brought him money, recognition, and connections.Instead of appreciating what she had done, he had turned his back on her, treating her as though she had never contributed anything to his success.He had always believed that Malisa was too weak to challenge him, especially with her family constantly looking down on her because of the burns she had suffered years ago.But Raymond was different.Simon had seen something in Raymond's eyes at the bank that made him deeply uncomfortable.The man had not looked frightened, and he had not behaved like someone who was worried about what Simon might do to him.Instead, Raymon

Raymond remained silent for a few moments as he considered the proposal Gabriella had placed before him, while the young woman stood on the other side of the desk, waiting for his answer with a nervous expression on her face.The amount they were discussing was not something an ordinary person could even dream of having, yet Raymond looked completely relaxed, as though they were discussing a few thousand dollars rather than one hundred billion.For someone like him, money had never been the greatest problem, especially after everything he had achieved over the years. As the Supreme Lord, his wealth and influence reached places that even the most powerful businessmen in the country could never imagine, although very few people knew the true extent of what he controlled.However, Raymond had no intention of revealing his identity simply because he was standing inside a bank.He had learned long ago that there was no need to show people everything he possessed, especially when keeping ce

Raymond said nothing.Gabriella continued, "However, considering the amount involved, I believe there may be an opportunity that could benefit both you and this institution."Raymond raised his eyebrows slightly."Go on."Gabriella felt encouraged."As you already know, banks do more than keep money in accounts. We also manage investments, support major businesses, and provide funding for projects that can produce considerable returns."She moved closer to her desk and picked up a document."Our institution has several investment programs designed specifically for clients with substantial financial resources. Some of these programs involve large companies, major development projects, and long-term financial arrangements."Raymond listened quietly.Gabriella could not tell whether he was interested, but at least he had not interrupted her.She continued, "With the amount you have in this account, you could participate in some of the most important investment opportunities available thr
