THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER CHAPTER 51 OLD FRIENDS
As Jack Sullivan and Lisa walked further into the reunion, the familiar faces from their high school days filled the room.Some smiled with genuine warmth, others barely hid their judgmental stares, but no one looked at them quite the same.Jack didn’t care about the whispers. He had Lisa by his side and that was all that mattered.Still, it was hard to ignore the faint murmurs that rippled through the crowd as people noticed Lisa’s expensive clothes.Her designer dress and stylish accessories were clearly the talk of the night.“Did she really marry him for money?” someone whispered.Jack didn’t look back, but he could feel the prying eyes. He hadn’t needed to prove anything to these people, yet their judgment still stung.Lisa, however, simply ignored the whispers.She leaned closer to Jack, her fingers gently brushing his arm.“Let them talk, babe,” she whispered with a smile, clearly unaffected by the rumors. Her voice was low and tender, her love for Jack evident in the way she l
THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER CHAPTER 52 CLASS MONITOR
The reunion was in full swing, but there was one person who seemed to draw attention everywhere he went: Peter Park. Jack Sullivan’s old class monitor and, as always, a master of false charm.Jack had seen him coming a mile away.Peter's overly pressed suit and gleaming shoes, which he probably spent hours polishing, were enough of a giveaway.The man was always about appearances, and everyone in school knew it.What they didn’t know was that Peter had a knack for using people to climb the ladder—whether it was the class funds or his questionable promotions at Darkeis Winery.Jack had seen him take advantage of anyone he could, and now, here he was, acting like the most important person at the reunion.“Jack Sullivan!” Peter’s voice rang out from across the room, his overly loud greeting drawing a few curious glances from the crowd.He walked over, his posture perfect, and his smile that sickly sweet “I’m so great” grin plastered on his face. “It’s been years, hasn’t it?”Jack barely
THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER CHAPTER 53
AS he watched Peter,The man hadn’t changed—he was still using people, still putting on that fake charm. The same man who misused class funds back in high school and tried to force Xavier into paying more money for the school event. It was clear to Jack that Peter had only gotten where he was by being shameless.Peter, however, wasn’t looking at Jack. His eyes were focused on Lisa. He had always thought she was out of Jack’s league, and now that they were married, he had no intention of letting her stay with him. Peter thought Jack was a fool, too stupid to realize that Lisa would eventually get bored of him. In his mind, he had every chance to pull Lisa away from Jack."Lisa, why don’t you come sit with me?" Peter's voice was smooth, his smile all but oozing insincerity. He motioned to the seat next to him, a couple of rows away from Jack. "I’ve got some medicine and hot water. You must be tired from all the excitement."Lisa immediately stiffened. She didn’t even have to think twice
THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER CHAPTER 54
As the train began to rumble along the tracks, Peter continued his failed attempts to pull Lisa Johnson away from Jack. He couldn’t seem to understand why she wasn’t interested in him, even when he tried to charm her with offers of medicine and hot water. Lisa was having none of it, holding onto Jack firmly, making it clear where her loyalty lay.“I can’t believe he’s still pulling this crap,” Sarah muttered, shooting Peter a look of disdain. “He really thinks he’s going to take Lisa away from Jack? Ridiculous.”Sarah, who had been a good friend to Lisa back in high school, had always disliked Peter’s attitude, and today was no different. She stood up for her friend, stepping forward with a stern look. “Peter, respect the fact that Lisa is married. She doesn’t want you.”Peter smirked, pretending to be polite but clearly mocking Sarah. “Oh, come on, Sarah. Don’t be so uptight. It’s just a friendly offer. Surely Jack wouldn’t mind—he knows I’m just trying to help Lisa out.”Jack, who h
THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER CHAPTER 55
After the awkward room assignments, the group was trying to make the best of their situation. The elegant architecture and serene surroundings were impressive, but for Xavier, the unfairness of the situation weighed heavily on him. He had always been the hardworking one, a chef, yet here he was, being treated like less than everyone else.“You really think you deserve one of the suites, Xavier?” Peter Park sneered, standing with his arms crossed as he looked down at the frustrated chef. His smug expression made Xavier’s blood boil. “You’re just a cook, nothing more. A cook doesn’t get a fancy room like the rest of them.”Xavier’s face flushed with anger. He wasn’t about to back down. “I’m a damn good chef, Peter. I deserve more than this. You know that.”Peter scoffed, dismissing Xavier’s protest with a wave of his hand. “Oh please, don’t start with that.” His tone was mocking, dripping with arrogance. “You’re lucky you even get to stay here. I’m the vice president of Darkeis Winery,
THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER CHAPTER 56
Back in the lobby, Peter was acting as if nothing was wrong, still trying to play the part of the gracious host. He was delighting in the discomfort of others, especially Jack.He had probably expected them to be furious by now, begging for a better room, and he was ready to make them grovel.But Jack, ever calm, walked over to Peter without hesitation. “Peter, we’re switching rooms. Now.” His tone left no room for argument.Peter looked up, feigning surprise. “Oh? What’s wrong with your room?”“You know exactly what’s wrong with it.” Jack’s voice was low and controlled, but the anger was clear beneath the surface.“This isn’t a room, Peter. This is a warehouse. You’ve gone too far this time.”Peter just smiled, his fake charm still intact.“You really are a simpleton, Jack. You don’t understand the power of position.” His voice dripped with condescension.“You and your wife can stay where you are, or I can help Lisa. But if you think you’re going to walk all over me—think again.”Lis
THE INSANE HUSBAND IS IRON WOLF COMMANDER CHAPTER 57
Peter Park was fuming. His plan to humiliate Jack Sullivan and Lisa Johnson had backfired spectacularly. The warehouse—a dirty, neglected space—was supposed to be the ultimate punishment for Jack’s boldness.He expected them to suffer in the awful conditions and come crawling back to him for help. Lisa would surely beg him to fix the situation, wouldn’t she?But instead, Jack had walked confidently into the luxurious lakeside villa, the most exclusive and expensive accommodation on the property.The same villa that was usually reserved for Boss Raymond himself. The audacity.Peter’s jaw tightened as he watched them leave the villa.He couldn’t believe his eyes. Had Jack actually managed to break into the place? That was the only explanation.He couldn't fathom how Jack could have had access to a place meant only for the owner of Darkeis Winery.He was seething with anger, but he couldn’t just stand there. His pride wouldn’t let him. So, he sent Lisa Johnson a message, hoping to stir u

The class reunion banquet was in full swing at the Darkeis Winery, with the lavish setting and rich food creating an atmosphere that seemed almost too perfect. Xavier, the chef at the winery, had worked tirelessly preparing the meals for the night. As he walked around the large banquet hall, placing plates of gourmet dishes in front of their old classmates, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride in his work."Xavier, this food is amazing!" Jack Sullivan called out from the table, a plate of freshly prepared dishes in front of him. He smiled at his old friend, clearly impressed. “You should be the general manager of this place, not just the cook.”Xavier grinned, his face lighting up at the compliment. He was always quiet and humble about his skills, but it felt good to hear Jack’s praise. He chuckled, shaking his head. “I don’t think I could handle being the general manager, Jack. It’s a lot more than just cooking.”The group of classmates around them laughed, the mood light and c

The room was still tense with the aftershock of Thomas Tang’s public humiliation.He remained kneeling on the ground like a squashed roach, blood drying on his nose, terrified to breathe too loud in case Jack Sullivan changed his mind and finished the job.Meanwhile, Tina Yale, who had once laughed at Rachel and treated Jack like a peasant, now stood frozen like her brain had blue-screened.“Y-You’re really from that Sullivan family?” she stammered, voice brittle.Jack didn’t look at her. He was helping Rachel into a dry robe, gently draping it over her shoulders.Tina stepped forward, voice switching from arrogant to syrupy-sweet in a heartbeat. “Mr. Sullivan! Oh my gosh, I had no idea you were… that important.”Jack glanced at her, unimpressed.“I mean,” Tina continued with a nervous giggle, “if I had known, I never would’ve... well, you know… spoken out of turn.”Rachel rolled her eyes. “You mean called him a show-off and treated him like a janitor?”Tina turned red. “That was a jo
CHAPTER 189
Rachel Young stood dripping in front of the steaming pool, arms clutched around herself, face burning redder than the volcanic mist surrounding them. She wanted to vanish. Right there. Into the steam, the water, the ground—anywhere but here.“I—it was an accident!” she stammered, looking at Tina, Wendy, and the furious man storming toward them.But no one was listening.Thomas Tang, red-faced and puffed up like a spoiled goose, stood in the doorway with his guards flanking him like bulldogs on a leash. His expensive shirt was unbuttoned halfway like he was auditioning for a mob boss role he had no business playing."You humiliate me in public," Thomas snarled, pointing a shaking finger at Jack. "You touch what’s mine, and you think you’ll walk away? I’ll crush you! You have no idea who I am!”Jack didn’t flinch.Still standing half-submerged in the spring, he calmly handed Rachel a towel. “Dry off. Don’t catch a cold.”Rachel blinked at him, stunned by his cool demeanor.He’s calm? Wi
CHAPTER 188
The audition room stank of desperation—cheap perfume, bad foundation, and the raw hunger of a hundred girls clawing for a scrap of fame.When it was finally Rachel Young’s turn, Tina Yale nearly dragged her to the front like a prize cow being paraded for auction.Standing near the casting table was Thomas Tang, heir to one of Eastridge’s wealthiest families and son of the President of the Chamber of Commerce. A man who thought his last name gave him the right to pluck any girl he wanted like low-hanging fruit.Tina whispered excitedly, "Smile, girl. You’re about to get your golden ticket."Rachel, heart hammering, tried her best to act polite."Mr. Tang, this is Rachel Young," Tina said with a simpering smile. "She’s amazing. She’s perfect for the role."Thomas didn’t even bother hiding the way his eyes swept over Rachel, lingering far too long.A sleazy grin spread across his face as he reached out, trying to grab Rachel’s hand like she was an item on display."Come," Thomas said, vo
CHAPTER 187
The casting line at Volcano Crest Resort barely moved.Rachel Young stood in heels that pinched and a dress she didn’t even like, eyes flicking toward the fake movie banner ahead: Spring Heart, Winter Flame. A glorified soap opera wrapped in indie film packaging—except everyone knew what it really was.A gift-wrapped vanity project for Nancy Winter, funded by someone with too much money and not enough talent.Beside her, Tina Yale tapped away on her phone, smirking as she read through a gossip blog post.“I swear,” Tina said, laughing, “if Nancy gets any more plastic surgery, the next red carpet should be hosted by a recycling plant.”Rachel shot her a look. “Maybe don’t say that right before we walk in to audition to play her servant?”Tina shrugged, unbothered. “Oh, please. She doesn’t even know who’s getting cast. The real boss here is Tyler Tian.”Rachel raised an eyebrow. “You mean the guy funding all this?”Tina grinned, leaning in like she was sharing state secrets. “You really
CHAPTER 186
The air shifted as Jack Sullivan walked toward the lower basin of Crystal Springs. It wasn’t the usual kind of heat or humidity. It carried weight—an invisible charge that made his skin prickle.He paused near a jagged rock wall, narrowing his eyes.Black diamond crystal, he thought.A rare mineral. Dense with elemental energy. Lethal in combat, priceless in martial cultivation.Only a few in the country even knew how to sense it, let alone use it.And Jack felt it pulsing below the surface like a heartbeat under lava.He also sensed movement.Not tourists.Fighters.Others like him. They were here for the same thing—and they weren’t here to relax.But before he could dig deeper—figuratively or literally—a familiar nasal voice cut through the air.“Hey! You again?”Brent Wyatt, Nancy Winter’s agent, stormed across the path with his stupid sunglasses on indoors and a clipboard that probably hadn’t seen real paperwork in years.Jack rolled his eyes. Not this guy again.“You’ve got some
CHAPTER 185
Jack Sullivan stood in the marble-tiled hallway of the Volcano Crest Resort, watching Rachel Young and her overly lip-glossed friend Tina Yale scroll through their phones like they were auditioning for who could ignore him faster.When Jack casually mentioned he knew Nancy Winter, Tina burst out laughing.“Please,” she said, waving her French-manicured fingers in the air. “You? Know Nancy Winter? That’s like a squirrel saying it dated an eagle.”Jack raised an eyebrow. “We grew up together.”Tina smirked. “Yeah? And I once dated Superman. We all have our fairy tales.”Rachel, standing off to the side, looked at Jack with a raised brow, her voice cautious. “Wait, are you serious? Nancy Nancy?”Jack shrugged. “You don’t have to believe me.”Tina scoffed and crossed her arms. “Good. Because we don’t. You’re clearly trying to sound impressive just because we’re here for an audition. What’s next? You’ll say you’re the executive producer’s secret twin?”Jack gave a half-smile. “If that woul
CHAPTER 184
Jack Sullivan didn’t follow after Nancy Winter.He didn’t need to.She had said what she needed to say—with rage in her voice and tears in her eyes. And he? He had no excuse worthy of softening the ache he left behind. He just watched her vanish into the crowd of cameras and makeup artists like a ghost swallowed by spotlight.Still, he felt it.Beneath the fury, beneath the insults—she still cared.And maybe that made it worse.“Hey!”Jack turned.It was Nancy’s agent—Brent Wyatt—a slick-haired man with a clipboard, Bluetooth headset, and the personality of a knockoff talent scout mixed with a tabloid addict.Brent looked Jack up and down like he was inspecting gum on his designer shoes. “Let me make something real clear, soldier boy.”Jack raised a brow, unamused.Brent stepped closer. “Nancy’s a star now. A national icon. She doesn’t need some forgotten war dog crawling out of the past looking to leech off her success.”Jack didn’t flinch. “Is that what you think I’m doing?”“I know
CHAPTER 183
The air at Volcano Crest Resort carried a strange weight—thick with steam from the hot springs, yet heavier with the tension rising between Jack Sullivan and the woman who had once meant everything to him.Nancy Winter.The nation's darling. Red carpet royalty. America's fantasy in heels.But now, up close, her eyes weren’t full of glamour. They burned with something far more dangerous—betrayal.She walked toward him with the grace of a panther, smile as sharp as glass. Cameras flashed around her, but all she saw was him.“Well, look who decided to return from the grave,” Nancy said, folding her arms. “The great Jack Sullivan. Alive. Breathing. Married.”Jack didn’t blink. “Nancy—”“No,” she cut in, voice ice-cold. “You don’t get to say my name like that. Like you didn’t vanish off the face of the earth without even a damn voicemail.”Jack exhaled. “It wasn’t what you think.”Nancy laughed bitterly. “Oh, I’m sure. You were busy, right? Got lost in a grocery store aisle for five years?
CHAPTER 182
Jack Sullivan had faced bullets, betrayal, and backroom ambushes. He’d made city kings kneel, snapped spines of mobsters with a glance—but none of that prepared him for being locked in a bedroom by his mother.“Try for a baby,” she’d said with a wink.Try not to die from embarrassment—Jack had thought instead.Lisa sat at the far end of the bed, fidgeting with the hem of her blouse, cheeks redder than a fire alarm. “I didn’t think… I didn’t mean for things to spiral like that,” she whispered, avoiding his gaze.Jack shrugged, hands behind his head as he leaned back. “That’s just my mom’s temper. Explosive as a volcano, but she means well.”Lisa peeked up. “So… the divorce?”He glanced at her, eyes calm. “Off the table.”A soft silence filled the room, but it wasn’t as tense as before.Lisa’s heart fluttered, just a little. He doesn’t want to separate?And strangely, for the first time, she didn’t want to either.The next morning, Jack was halfway through breakfast when Max called him.
