Chapter 170
Keith Rodriguez stood frozen at the edge of the overlook, staring into the darkness where his adopted son had disappeared forever. His hands clenched into fists, his entire body trembling with a mixture of grief and rage that threatened to consume him."You murdered my son," Keith whispered, his voice thick with barely controlled fury.Jack looked at him with complete indifference. "Your son chose his own fate when he decided to insult me."He wants to attack me, Jack observed, watching Keith's internal struggle. But he knows it would be suicide.Keith's jaw worked silently for several long moments before he finally swallowed his anger, his survival instincts overriding his desire for revenge."Fine," Keith said through gritted teeth. "You've made your point, Mr. Sullivan. Now it's time for you to meet Master Robinson.""Lead the way," Jack replied calmly.As they began ascending the steeper sections of the mountain path, Samuel Davis fell into step beside Jack, his earlier confidence

Jack Sullivan's eyes narrowed as the pieces of the elaborate trap finally clicked into place in his mind. The timing, the location, Vincent Shaw's sudden enthusiasm about the engagement—it all made perfect sense now."Vincent Shaw set this up," Jack said quietly, his voice carrying a dangerous edge. "Sharon's father orchestrated this entire evening to lure me away from my stronghold."Keith Rodriguez remained kneeling, but Jack could see the tension in his posture as his carefully laid plans began to unravel.They really thought they were clever, Jack realized with cold amusement. Using Samuel's loyalty and genuine affection to bait the trap."Mr. Sullivan," Keith said carefully, "surely you understand that resistance is futile at this point. Ryan Robinson is waiting at the summit, and he's not someone who can be reasoned with.""Is he now?" Jack asked with mild interest.Keith's voice took on a pleading tone. "Sir, I'm trying to save your life here. Robinson has reached the Pulse Rea

As they reached a scenic overlook halfway up the mountain, Larry Johnson spotted a distinguished figure in an expensive overcoat standing near the observation deck. His face lit up with vindictive excitement as he recognized his adoptive father."Father!" Larry called out, jogging ahead of the group with obvious eagerness. "Keith! You're here!"Keith Rodriguez turned at the sound of his adopted son's voice, his weathered face breaking into what appeared to be a warm smile. He was a man in his fifties, with silver hair and the bearing of someone accustomed to wielding significant power."Larry, my boy," Keith replied, embracing his son affectionately. "I didn't expect to see you here tonight.""Neither did I, until I ran into some... complications," Larry said, his voice taking on a bitter edge as he glanced back at Jack's approaching group.Julia Shaw hurried forward, practically glowing with anticipation. "Mr. Rodriguez! What perfect timing! Your son has been terribly mistreated toni
Chapter 167
The resort entrance fell into stunned silence as Larry Johnson stood there with his hand pressed to his stinging cheek, his face a mixture of shock, humiliation, and growing rage. Julia Shaw stared at Jack Sullivan with wide, horrified eyes, her mind struggling to process what had just happened."Oh my God," Julia whispered, her voice trembling with panic. "Jack, do you have any idea what you've just done?"Jack adjusted his jacket calmly, completely unbothered by the dramatic scene he had just created. "I hit someone who needed hitting. Nothing more complicated than that.""Nothing more complicated?" Julia's voice rose to a near-shriek. "You just assaulted Larry Johnson! Keith Rodriguez's adopted son! They'll destroy you for this!"She's genuinely terrified, Jack observed with amusement. She thinks I've just signed my own death warrant."Julia, calm down," Sharon said, though her own voice carried uncertainty. "I'm sure we can work this out somehow.""Work this out?" Julia laughed hy
Chapter 166
As the group made their way through the beautifully illuminated entrance of North Harbor Mountain resort, Julia Shaw suddenly stopped mid-stride, her eyes lighting up with calculated excitement as she spotted a familiar figure near the main pavilion."Oh my goodness!" Julia exclaimed with exaggerated delight. "Larry Johnson! What a wonderful surprise!"A tall, well-dressed man in his early thirties turned at the sound of his name, his expensive suit and confident bearing marking him as someone accustomed to wealth and privilege. Larry Johnson's face broke into a practiced smile as he approached their group."Julia Shaw," Larry said warmly, though his eyes were already scanning the group with obvious interest. "And the beautiful Sharon Shaw. What brings the Shaw sisters to North Harbor Mountain tonight?"Julia practically glowed with excitement at being acknowledged by someone of Larry's status. "We're celebrating Sharon's engagement! Larry, you must remember Sharon—we went to school t
Chapter 165
Back in the mansion's study, Vincent Shaw's confident smile widened as he explained the full scope of his carefully orchestrated plan to his increasingly amazed brother."You see, Robert," Vincent continued, spreading out detailed maps across his mahogany desk, "today is the day Ryan Robinson makes his move against Mr. Sullivan. I've been coordinating with Robinson's forces for months."Robert stared at the maps in disbelief. "Vincent, you've been in contact with Ryan Robinson himself? How is that even possible?""Money opens many doors, brother," Vincent replied smugly. "And our shipping connections provided exactly the kind of discrete transportation Robinson needed to position his forces."Finally, someone appreciates the brilliance of my strategy, Vincent thought as he watched his brother's amazement grow."But why now?" Robert asked nervously. "Why tonight?""Because tonight, Mr. Sullivan is exactly where we need him to be," Vincent explained with obvious satisfaction. "Away from
