CHAPTER 267
The man’s lips parted, but no sound came out. The confidence he walked in with began to crumble under the weight of realization. His fingers twitched at his sides, eyes darting between Javier, Heather, and the legal documents that now lay flat on the table in front of him.Around them, the other patrons fell deathly quiet, watching the unfolding scene with a mixture of shock and fascination. The same man they had sneered at minutes ago, the one wearing the modest suit with no bodyguards or entourage, was now revealed to be the true power in the room.Sable’s face had turned a dangerous shade of red, fists clenched as though he could reverse the truth through sheer will. Clara shrank further into her chair, her breath becoming shallow and quick, her perfect facade splintering with every second.Javier remained calm, his expression unchanged, as though this scenario was always expected—because it was.Heather adjusted the tablet in her hands and spoke, her voice carrying across the room
CHAPTER 266
Javier entered the private room with the same quiet grace that unnerved his enemies the most. Inside, there was no need for pretense—Heather was already seated, her tablet illuminated with streams of data, live footage, and account logs. The large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the glittering city skyline, but Javier barely acknowledged the view.He removed his blazer, settling into the head chair like a man who had always owned the world beneath his feet—because he did.Heather’s tone remained strictly professional. “Their offshore accounts have been frozen as of ten minutes ago. Sable’s Luxembourg holdings are under investigation. Clara’s transaction records will be forwarded to federal authorities by morning.”Javier nodded slowly, his fingers tapping once against the polished wood. “Good.”Heather continued, “Sable still has one advantage. The Paris contract tied to the Sapphire Initiative. If it’s secured before our team moves, they’ll have breathing room.”Javier’s jaw rema
CHAPTER 265
Sable’s presence settled over the table like a storm cloud—silent but heavy, charged with something unseen but undeniably dangerous. Javier remained seated, utterly composed, while Clara’s knuckles turned white around her wine glass. Elliot, the smug attorney, shifted uncomfortably in his seat, visibly shrinking under Sable’s sharp gaze.Sable’s lips curved into a smooth, mocking smile as he pulled out the empty chair beside Clara and sat down with the elegance of someone who believed himself untouchable.“Didn’t think we’d meet this soon,” Sable said, his voice low and controlled, edged with arrogance. “Though I’m not surprised to see you poking your nose where it doesn’t belong… dressed like that, no less.”Elliot chuckled weakly, emboldened by Sable’s arrival. “Yeah, pretty sure security’s been slacking if they let this… charity case into the private level.”Sable didn’t even spare Elliot a glance, his focus entirely on Javier. “You’re out of your depth here. This is bigger than yo
CHAPTER 264
Javier didn’t sit down.His posture remained relaxed, but the steel in his eyes pinned Clara where she sat. The man beside her—early forties, designer cufflinks, smug confidence—sized Javier up and gave a dismissive laugh.“Looks like the staff are getting sloppy with security,” the man sneered, swirling his whiskey. “This table’s reserved for clients, not—”Clara pressed a hand to his forearm, a warning hidden beneath a charming smile. “Elliot, don’t.”The man—Elliot—blinked in confusion. “Don’t what? He’s—” He leaned forward, lowering his voice, “—he’s no one.”Javier’s expression remained unchanged. The soft chime of his phone cut through the awkward silence. He ignored it.“You’ve been busy, Clara,” Javier said evenly. “Geneva accounts, shell movements in Rotterdam, and now funneling classified corporate intel to someone you don’t even meet in person.”Clara lifted her chin. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”Javier tapped a finger on the table. “You always did enjoy play
CHAPTER 263
The high-end bistro near Alder Street was the kind of place that catered to those who liked to pretend they owned the world—businessmen flashing their company credit cards, trust fund babies parading expensive shoes, and staff trained to judge based on appearance before service.Javier walked in unnoticed, his attire simple: no tie, plain shirt, and his coat damp from the light drizzle outside. His steps were silent, but every eye that landed on him carried the same dismissive gleam.A tall hostess approached, her lips tightening into a forced smile. “Sir,” she said sharply, “this establishment has a reservation-only policy.”Javier gave a polite nod. “Good. I have a reservation under Clara Lorrell.”The hostess’s smile dro

Ms. Lorrell’s reservation is… exclusive.” Her eyes drifted over his coat, his simple watch. “She’s meeting important people. You… are clearly in the wrong place.”Behind her, a wait
