Karvel stared at her, confusion and disbelief written all over his face. “You—who are—?”
“I should’ve come earlier,” she whispered, her tone filled with regret.
“I am deeply sorry for what happened to you and your mother,” she said, her voice loud enough for everyone to hear. “This is our mistake, and we will take full responsibility.”
Karvel blinked in disbelief. The elegant woman before him had just brought a battalion of bodyguards and bowed to him. Now, she was calling him—
“The young master,” she said clearly, her voice echoing through the stunned hallway. “There’s no mistake. We’ve finally found you.”
“W-What?” Karvel stammered, rubbing his temple as if it would knock the nonsense out of his ears. “I think… you’ve got the wrong guy. I’m no master. I’m just—”
“A man born to be more,” the lady interrupted gently, with a look that made the blood drain from every arrogant staff member watching. “Everything will be explained later. Right now, your mother needs immediate care. And we’re not losing her.”
Karvel’s chest seized. “She’s still alive?”
“She is. Barely, but we can save her.” the lady turned, her tone suddenly clipped and businesslike. “Bring the portable unit. Transfer her to the convoy—now.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
, “This… this is a show, right?” Dr Crane scoffed as her team rushed to action.
“Nice production. Did you rent those muscle-heads from a movie set? Or maybe from the local zoo? Could’ve fooled me with that ‘young master’ nonsense.” He chuckled. “What’s next? Gonna tell us this chihuahua’s a lost prince?”
Karvel clenched his fists, but before he could respond, the lady moved.
SLAP.
It was a light motion. Barely more than a flick.
Yet the doctor flew back like a ragdoll launched from a catapult, crashing into a cart of medical trays.
He landed hard, metal instruments clattering around him. Blood poured from his mouth as he gasped on the tile floor.
“Damn!” one of the nurses whispered. “Did she just swat him like a mosquito?”
“More like she swiped a flea off her jacket,” another whispered nervously. The lady stood still, her aura burning cold.
Crane groaned. “Y-You… You psycho… You think you can get away with this? The director—he’s backed by the police chief! I’ll have you all arrested!”
He yanked out his phone with shaking hands. “Enjoy your little fantasy now, but when the cops arrive, let’s see if you still play queen!”
The lady didn’t even flinch.
She took out her phone, dialed a number, and spoke with an icy calm. “This is Alina Hart. Get me Chief Dalton. Now.”
Karvel turned his head sharply. Wait… Alina Hart? That name... It sounds familiar. Where have I heard it before?
The staff exchanged skeptical glances. A nurse snorted. “Alina Hart? What is this, a soap opera now?”
Crane wheezed a chuckle. “She’s bluffing. Probably Googled a rich name before she got here. This is all bark—no bite.”
Then the line connected.
The police chief’s voice came through, smooth at first. “This is Dalton. Who is—”
Then silence.
Followed by a loud, sharp intake of breath. “M-Miss Hart! I—I had no idea it was you! Please forgive me!”
Alina’s voice was a glacier. “I’m standing in a hospital where your beloved director allows extortion, abuse of power, and attempted theft of organs. You have sixty seconds to fix this. Or you’re done.Your pension, and fucking peace of your life will be gone in a snap..”
“I-I’ll solve it immediately! Please, give me a moment. Just a moment!” He pleaded before hanging up.
Back in the hallway, everyone watched Alina close her phone.
“Enjoy your minute,” she said to no one in particular.
Crane, coughing on the floor, barked out a laugh. “Did she just… give a countdown? This is rich. Who does she think she is—God?”
A loud bang cut through the air.
The emergency doors burst open. In waddled the hospital director, his tie half undone, face soaked in sweat, and his eyes wide with terror.

Chapter 26A warm smile crept across Mrs. Amelia’s face the moment her eyes landed on Karvel. It was as though a weight had been lifted from her heart.“Karvel…” she called out softly, her voice trembling with emotion.Karvel didn’t hesitate. In two quick strides, he was at her side, bending down to wrap his arms around her frail shoulders. He held her tightly, almost as if letting go would make her disappear.“I’m sorry, Mother,” he murmured, his voice thick with guilt.Mrs. Amelia pulled back slightly, her brows knitting together. She shook her head in gentle disagreement. “Why are you sorry? What did you do?”Karvel’s gaze dropped to the floor. “I should have been a better son. I’m sorry for making you go through all this… for not being there when you needed me most.”Her expression softened, and she reached up to cup his cheek. “It wasn’t your fault. You are the best son any mother could ask for. After all, I’m here, alive and healthy, because of you.”Karvel’s lips curved into a

Chapter 25Karvel rose slowly from the chair, his expression unreadable as he made his way toward the exit. Just as he stepped out, a sleek black car pulled up in front of the estate, and Morrison climbed out, dressed as sharply as ever.“Good morning,” Karvel greeted, his voice calm but laced with anticipation.Morrison nodded politely, instinctively beginning to lower his head in a respectful bow. But Karvel quickly raised a hand to stop him.“You can’t do that here,” Karvel said firmly. “I should be the one bowing to you.”Morrison raised an eyebrow, a slight smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “I’m sorry, Mr. Karvel,” he said in a mock-apologetic tone. “I forgot you haven’t decided to tell everyone the truth yet.”Karvel tensed slightly, but Morrison pressed on. “I called because your mother is awake. She specifically asked to see you. She hasn’t eaten anything since she regained consciousness.”A wave of emotion swept over Karvel’s face—relief, hope, maybe even a little fear
chapter 24
Richard’s voice boomed across the study, filled with venom and indignation as he turned toward Robert, his face contorted in disbelief. His fists were clenched tightly at his sides, his chest heaving with rage.“You really tried, Robert,” he spat bitterly, stepping closer. “Is this the kind of daughter you raised? Did you teach her to take what was never hers? The compan our company was never meant for her. Never!” He pointed toward the window that overlooked the tall glass building in the distance, the symbol of their family's legacy. “If there’s anyone who deserves to be CEO, it’s me. Me not your daughter! Putting Elena in that chair is a slap in the face to everything this family once stood for. It’s an insult. A disgrace.”Robert remained seated behind the desk, his expression unreadable, yet the faintest flicker of disappointment danced in his eyes. He took a deep breath before answering, his tone calm, but with the weight of a man who had already weathered too many storms.“Ther

They both ignored the murmurs and judgmental whispers echoing around the hallway as they walked side by side into the boardroom. The heavy glass door shut behind them with a soft click, sealing the tension within. Every eye in the room followed Elena and Karvel’s entrance, surprise and confusion flickering across the faces of the board members.Elena walked confidently to the head of the long mahogany table and gracefully lowered herself into the CEO’s chair. Her presence alone silenced most of the room. Karvel remained composed as he took a seat beside her, his eyes scanning the room calmly.Margret's shot to her feet, her voice sharp and dripping with contempt.“What’s that outsider doing here?” she snapped, glaring at Karvel as though his very presence offended her.Karvel didn’t flinch. His tone was calm, but firm. “I’m not an outsider, Margaret. I’m a shareholder one with legal standing to be present at this meeting. I have every right to be here, just like you.”“You now have t

Chapter 22The Next DayElena stood in front of the full-length mirror, adjusting the lapel of her sleek blazer, her eyes scanning her reflection one last time. She could hardly believe it after years of relentless dedication, sleepless nights, and sacrifices, today she would officially step into the role she had worked her entire life for. CEO. The title still felt surreal on her tongue.Behind her, the sound of running water ceased, and Karvel stepped out of the bathroom, his damp hair tousled and a soft smile playing on his lips. He leaned against the doorframe, watching her with quiet pride."Are you ready?" he asked, his voice low and warm.Elena turned slightly and nodded with a smile, her heart fluttering with nerves and excitement."Aren’t you coming with me?" she asked, her tone hopeful.Karvel shook his head gently. "No, I can't go with you. I have somewhere I need to be this morning."She frowned, disappointment flickering across her face. Her gaze dropped for a second befo
I didn't mean it..
Panic erupted as the once-proud family scrambled in disarray. But no amount of status, threats, or control could stop what had just happened.The moment karvel and Elena family stepped back into their house, Patricia clapped her hands so hard her bracelets jangled. “Fifty percent! Can you believe it? Our Elena—the majority shareholder!” She spun to Robert, her face flushed with excitement. “Margaret’s gonna choke when she sees us at the next board meeting! We’ll be sitting in the front row, not scrounging for invites!”Robert paced, grinning so wide his cheeks strained. “This is it. We’re elite now. Restaurants, parties, penthouses… it’s all ours.” He shot Karvel a sideways glance, disdain sharp in his tone. “Of course, some people still don’t belong in that world. Like you.”Elena, still processing the news, turned to Karvel. “You had Sebastian do this?”He nodded, keeping it simple. “He owed me a favor. Thought it’d help you take control.”Patricia scoffed, waving a hand. “Favor? P
