Chapter 332
At the Kingston government office, the phone rang sharply, cutting through the heavy silence.Jasmine lifted the receiver without breaking her stride. “Jasmine here.”“Jasmine, we have a situation!” Kelly's voice burst out, urgent and tense.She paused, her brow furrowing. “What's happened?”“Alex has been arrested by the Chicago military!” Kelly swiftly recounted the details, her voice clipped and precise.As Jasmine listened, her expression darkened, eyes narrowing with every word.“Using the Chicago military to snatch him? Whoever orchestrated this has serious connections.”“Jasmine, I bet it’s one of the Chicago Lords flexing their muscle—probably the Jones family,” Kelly growled.“Yesterday Alex tore through the Jones' estate, crippled Tom's son, all to protect you. They won't let that slide.”“It definitely smells like the Jones' handiwork,” Jasmine said grimly.“But Tom alone couldn’t summon military power. Another Lord must be backing him.”“I'm mobilizing Vermont’s military i
Chapter 331
Lyra stormed out into the open, chased closely by Sophia.“Lyra! What the hell are you doing to Laura? I've never seen you like this before!”Sophia had known Lyra for years. She'd always seemed kind, gentle even. This ruthless side was completely new and terrifying.Ignoring Sophia, Lyra walked toward a nearby pond, plunging her blood-stained hands into the water.She watched the blood swirl away and muttered, "You don't really know me, Sophia."She moved slowly to a bench beneath a tree, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.“You told me you'd quit!” Sophia said, voice trembling with disappointment.“I did quit,” Lyra exhaled sharply, blowing smoke into the sky.“Three whole years. But today I broke it. I need this, Sophia.”Sophia stared in disbelief, struggling to find words. “How—how can you shoot people like this?”Lyra shrugged, her tone cool and distant. “I practice at a shooting range. I have licenses for all my guns.”“You kill people, Lyra!” Sophia shouted, her voice cracking

“You want me to heal your husband, and yet you dare threaten me?”Alex laughed bitterly, shaking his head. “You've got to be joking.”Laura's eyes darkened, venom lacing every word. “You’re like someone who needs to see their own coffin to realize they're dying.”“Fine. If you won’t save him now, mark my words—when you're on your knees, bleeding, bones shattered, begging for mercy—it’ll be too late. This is your final chance to reconsider before things get ugly.”Alex met her fury with a calm defiance.“Sorry, not interested.” He turned sharply toward the exit.Just then, chaos erupted near the hospital’s entrance. All heads snapped up as a military vehicle roared into view, skidding to a halt.The soldiers leapt out, fully armed, their faces grim and lethal. People scattered, a path clearing as if by instinct alone.Sophia’s eyes widened in shock. “The military? Here? Are they arresting someone?”Laura smirked wickedly. “Alex, this is your very last chance.”Lyra shot a glare at Laura

Laura’s face twisted in rage. Without hesitation, she swung her hand, landing a fierce slap across the doctor’s face.“What kind of worthless bastard calls himself a doctor, yet sends my husband home just to wait for death?” she screamed, her voice shaking with fury.Dr. Peter stood frozen, stunned. One of Vermont's finest doctors had just been humiliated by this woman.“Listen carefully, woman,” he snarled bitterly.“Your husband will die. Nothing on earth can save him now, not even your parade of second opinions. Frankly, with a venomous wife like you, it’s no wonder he’s headed to an early grave.”Laura exploded, her voice cracking with raw fury.“What the hell did you just say to me? You dare sentence my husband to death and blame me for it? Are you begging to die?”The assistants quickly stepped forward, forming a barrier around Dr. Peter, terrified by Laura’s wild wrath.“Guards!” Laura roared. “Beat them! Break every damn bone in their bodies!”“Yes, Ma’am!” Two guards surged fo

Lyra stood by, eyes fixed anxiously on Laura Montclair. "Calm down. He'll be here.""Calm down? Have you seen the time? What’s going to happen to my husband?" Laura's voice echoed harshly through the hospital room, desperation cracking her tone.Lyra clenched her fists, fighting the urge to snap. "If you can't stop screaming at me, maybe you should find yourself another doctor."Laura shot Lyra a venomous glare."Listen carefully. The only reason you're even here is because your father and my husband were once best friends. You should be thanking me for this opportunity.”“Remember Lyra, I could open doors you couldn't even dream of."On the hospital bed, Rudiyard moaned loudly, gripping his head in agony."It feels like my head is splitting open!"Laura rushed to his side, gently squeezing his hand. "Hang in there, honey. The best doctor is coming. He’ll make this right, I promise."No one could explain Rudiyard’s sudden collapse a week earlier or the constant, relentless headaches e

Morning broke early, bringing with it a fresh start.Alex rose, showered, and busied himself preparing breakfast—his signature Eggs Benedict.Simple but irresistible. The aroma filled the kitchen just as footsteps echoed softly from behind.“Something smells heavenly!” Sophia's voice broke the quiet.She looked stunning, dressed impeccably in a tailored business suit, her face brightened by a gentle smile."Sophia? What are you doing here?" Alex blurted, confusion clear on his face.Today, of all days—why?"I skipped breakfast, figured I'd swing by quickly on the way to work," Sophia replied casually, stepping closer to inspect the dish.Alex narrowed his eyes skeptically. "Your office isn't anywhere near this neighborhood."She let out a sigh and admitted reluctantly, “Fine. Lyra asked me to take you to meet someone before heading to my office. I’ve got some time to spare.” She sat down with practiced ease, clearly dodging his pointed stare."Lyra could’ve just called me," Alex frown
