Chapter 385
“Goddammit, Alex! What kind of monster have you become?” Sophia's voice trembled violently, each word cracking like lightning through a storm."Ever since Jasmine slithered into your life, you've turned into someone I don't even recognize.”“Was it really worth it—denying them even a sliver of that damned root? Would it have cost you an arm or a leg?”“Tell me, what's your price? A million bucks? Two million? Just name it! I’ll sell my soul if I have to—but stop hurting my mother and brother!"Her rage boiled hotter with every word, her fists shaking uncontrollably, knuckles white and eyes blazing.“What the hell is wrong with you, Alex?!” she exploded, tears of fury beginning to well in her eyes.“Have you completely lost your goddamned heart?!”Alex stood unmoved, his face cold and detached as stone. "You really think this is about money? Let me spell it out for you, Sophia—the root isn't mine to give."Sophia felt her chest clench painfully, fury slicing deeper at his indifferent t

Sophia raced through the city streets, her heart hammering painfully against her ribs as she rushed back to the Lancaster mansion.A phone call had plunged her world into chaos—Jack and her mother, Florence, had been viciously attacked.Panic gnawed at her as she burst through the front door, desperation etched across her face.The butler, visibly shaken, met her immediately, his usually composed demeanor shattered.“Miss Sophia! Thank God you're back! Have you heard? Your mother and Jack—they've been brutally assaulted!”“What? Assaulted?” Sophia gasped, her voice tight with shock. “What happened? Tell me now!”“There's no time to explain! Go upstairs—quickly. Your mother needs you!” he urged, practically shoving her toward the staircase.Sophia bounded up the stairs, dread clawing at her throat.Her thoughts tangled into knots—how could something like this happen?She flung open the door to Florence’s room and froze, horrified.Florence lay pale as death, eyes glazed with pain, head

An hour had crept by, and Alex was scribbling patient records in the fading amber glow, preparing to shutter the clinic doors when the sudden thundering of heavy boots announced trouble.Florence and Jack stormed back inside, their pack of thugs swaggering arrogantly behind."You bastard!" Florence shrieked venomously, brandishing a fist in his direction. "How dare you cheat us with fake goods?"Alex released a weary sigh, his gaze fixed indifferently upon the paperwork."That was genuine ginseng. Why would I bother deceiving small-timers like you?""Who cares about your worthless ginseng?" Jack roared furiously."We want the main ingredient for the Emerald Elixir!""That ginseng," Alex drawled slowly, his tone dripping mockery, "is indeed part of the Emerald Elixir. Didn't anyone teach you morons anything?""You lying snake!" Florence snapped viciously, her eyes blazing with fury."The Emerald Elixir contains about fifty herbs," Alex sneered contemptuously, finally lifting his cold,

“Wait!” Charles barked sharply, freezing everyone in their tracks.He leaned forward, his voice dripping with intrigue.“I have intel from my informants. Apparently, Alex is hiding something extremely rare—the essential ingredient of the Emerald Elixir.:“If you can pry that secret from his greedy hands, Clara walks free, and you'll be rewarded with ten million dollars!”Florence’s eyes widened with greedy anticipation, glittering like diamonds catching the light.“Ten million dollars? Are you absolutely certain?”Charles flashed a wicked grin, eyes locked on hers. “I never make idle promises.”Florence’s lips curled into a ruthless smile, the gears in her mind spinning furiously.“That’s hardly an obstacle. A mere ingredient from that pathetic fool? I’ll wrench it from him myself. He wouldn’t dare defy me!”Charles leaned back leisurely, satisfied. “Then I eagerly await your triumphant return, Mrs. Lancaster.”Florence whipped around, commanding authority dripping from every syllable
Chapter 281
“Whatever helps you sleep at night!” Alex snarled, his hand slicing through the air with impatient finality.Instantly, Discipline officers lunged forward, gripping George fiercely by the arms, yanking him from the room.“You’re going to regret this, Alex! My family controls the Union—you'll pay dearly for this!”George screamed, his voice cracking with furious desperation as they dragged him mercilessly across the threshold.Hans staggered forward, panic turning his face pale and sweaty.“Mr. Alex, please!” he begged, collapsing onto his knees in a pathetic heap.“I was wrong, terribly wrong! Give me another chance! I swear I'll never cross the line again!”“I got lost in a moment of greed!” Hans sobbed, clutching desperately at Alex’s feet, his pride dissolved into tears.“Think of my years of loyalty, sir! Can’t you forgive just this once? I promise—it'll never happen again!”Hans trembled violently, his hope evaporating like mist in sunlight as he watched even Mr. Smith, his stron
Chapter 280
“Mr. Smith, looks like you’re hell-bent on covering up for your little lapdog, huh?” Alex’s eyes sharpened into slits, simmering with quiet menace.Suddenly, everything clicked into place.It became crystal clear why Hans had strutted around so arrogantly—he had a boss even more corrupt and vile pulling his strings.Just when Alex believed he’d witnessed Hans at his absolute worst, George proved there was a far darker abyss lurking beneath.Rotting trees always collapse from within, and Kingston Pharmaceuticals was clearly infested with poisonous maggots like George and Hans.If these vermin were allowed to thrive unchecked, it would spell doom—not just for quality control, but for every honest worker within the company.They sold medicine that wasn’t even approved for sale—just to stuff their own pockets.They didn’t care if it ruined the reputation of Emerald Elixir.All the millions poured into advertising, all the effort to build something exceptional—shattered by the greed of the

Alex watched the entire fiasco unfold, a weary sigh escaping him like a man resigned to cleaning up another mess.He had no appetite for trouble, yet fate had other ideas.Still, Clara was Sophia's aunt, and family ties had a way of complicating even the simplest matters.Reluctantly, Alex moved toward Clara, his footsteps heavy with irritation as Hans slithered away unnoticed.Leaning closer, Alex warned quietly, "A little advice—don't gamble with this one. Things aren’t always as bright as they seem."Clara spun around sharply, eyes blazing with contempt as she assessed him from head to toe."Who the hell do you think you are, sticking your nose into everyone's affairs? Jealous, huh? It must burn to see someone actually succeeding while you rot in obscurity.”“You've already destroyed Charles’s future and turned him against his own sister. And now you want to sabotage me, too? Keep dreaming, loser!"Alex's eyes flickered with restrained annoyance, a cold smile ghosting his lips."Fi
Chapter 278
Ten minutes later, Charles emerged, a chillingly composed smile etched onto his handsome face, his attire immaculate once more, betraying no hint of the destructive storm he’d just unleashed.But beneath his polished exterior, Charles burned with an insatiable hunger for revenge.He had to triumph this time—especially considering the astronomical losses he’d inflicted upon his mother due to the failed SkinDews venture, which had bled nearly half a billion from their coffers.Charles knew he had to act fast; his financial lifeblood was slipping away.Pulling out his sleek phone, Charles quickly dialed one of the managers from Kingston.His voice was coldly decisive, leaving no room for hesitation: “That offer you gave me—I’ll accept. Meet me immediately in the meeting hall.”The voice on the other end responded hastily, anxiety apparent. “Right away, sir. I’m coming to you.”A few moments later, a lean, cunning-faced man with narrow eyes approached Charles, bowing obsequiously.It was

“Well, well, well—if it isn’t Alex! Tell me, are you seriously hoping to snag a distributor deal with Kingston?”Clara sneered venomously, her cold eyes darting downward at Alex as if he were nothing more than dirt under her designer shoes.Alex casually shifted his gaze toward Charles, his voice edged with mockery.“What’s wrong, Charles? Didn’t you tell your friend here exactly who I am?”Clara turned toward Charles, curiosity mingling with disdain in her narrowed eyes.“Charles, what exactly is this grand position he claims?”“Alex?” Charles erupted into contemptuous laughter, the cruel amusement echoing harshly through the room.“Please! He’s nothing but a worthless piece of garbage! He wormed his pathetic way into Jasmine’s bed, becoming her personal boy toy through deception.”“My little sister was naive enough to hand him the title of Chief Physician at Hilton Pharmacy—nothing more than charity for a parasite.”“I believe he begged Jasmine for the position, just to make himself
