“How dare you hurt my son!” Florence screamed, lunging toward Jack's limp body.But before she could reach him, Henny's bodyguard grabbed a fistful of her hair and brutally kicked the back of her knees.Florence crashed to the floor, kneeling painfully, her head twisted back, hair clutched tight in the guard's hand.“Listen carefully, Florence.” Henny glared down at her coldly.“Your son won't die just yet. But with that kind of bleeding, I'd say he's got maybe half an hour left. Call Sophia right now. If she arrives quickly enough, maybe I'll let Jack live.”“Please, have mercy!” Florence pleaded desperately. “I’ll call her immediately!”Henny gestured to her thug, who released Florence’s hair roughly, strands tearing loose and scattering across the floor.Florence scrambled frantically for her phone, dialing Sophia’s number with trembling fingers.“Sophia! Where are you? Come home now—it's an emergency!” Florence’s voice shook with panic.“Jack's hurt badly, we need you here right a

"You—!" Sophia's eyes widened in shock and fury.She lunged forward, yanking Alex away from Kelly as if protecting a child from a predator.Humiliation and rage surged through her veins, and she snapped fiercely, "Kelly Kingston! What the hell do you think you're doing?"Kelly tilted her head, her red lips curving into a taunting smile as she eyed Alex hungrily."Sophia Lancaster, shouldn't I be asking you that? We were just enjoying ourselves. Why'd you spoil our fun?"Sophia hesitated, suddenly aware she had no right to intervene.Alex wasn't hers—at least, not anymore."We were still talking before you interrupted," Sophia retorted, refusing to back down. "And Alex didn’t seem very thrilled.""Oh?" Kelly's eyes flashed dangerously. "From what I felt, Alex seemed pretty enthusiastic.""Kelly," Alex started cautiously.But Kelly cut him off, spinning back to face him, her voice dripping with seductive bitterness."Fine, Alex, play your games. But you know you're hurting me. Someday s

Sophia hit the ground hard, her head spinning.For a moment, everything blurred as she fought to steady her breathing."You dare disrespect me, you insolent brat?" Henny's voice trembled with rage. "Know your place! If you want my forgiveness, get on your knees and lick my shoes."Sophia tasted blood on her lips, the metallic tang sharpening her senses. Her vision cleared, and a fire sparked within her."That's it," she whispered fiercely to herself, determination flooding her veins."Guard," Henny barked. "Slap her again. Keep going until she learns how to respect her elders."The guard smirked cruelly as he approached Sophia, grabbing a fistful of her hair and jerking her head back."Sorry, sweetheart. Orders are orders."Sophia locked eyes with him, fury blazing in her gaze. "I'm warning you—let go of me or you're a dead man.""Little bitch—" His hand shot up, ready to strike.But before his palm could connect, a deafening gunshot shattered the room.Blood sprayed as the bullet pie
Chapter 367
Henny was growing older, her authority fading fast since her daughter Laura—Montclair’s last reigning matriarch and one of Chicago’s powerful lords—was thrown behind bars.With Laura's downfall, Henny’s once iron grip on Montclair weakened drastically.Now, one of the elders who had long opposed Laura temporarily filled the void, becoming the acting matriarch until the family officially named Sophia as the new leader.Just days ago, everyone bowed and listened when Henny spoke.Now, she found herself forced to kneel, humiliated and scorned.It was unbearable.“Florence!” Henny barked, eyes blazing with fury.“Is this how you raise your child? Your daughter doesn’t even know how to respect her elders—the very people who could lift her to greatness.”“I warned you clearly: bring Sophia back here immediately to beg my forgiveness!”“Yes, yes, Madam Henny!” Florence stumbled over herself, rushing frantically toward the door.By the time she reached the gate, Sophia’s car was already vanis

Alex's heart went cold, twisted by a deep pang of regret.Hurting Sophia was never his intention.She was his everything—his reason for breathing—but everything about her drove his emotions beyond control.Near her, his heart became a storm of love and pain, so fierce he couldn’t think straight.He wanted revenge on everyone who had ever hurt Sophia, even her own mother.Yet now, seeing Sophia rush between them, all he could feel was guilt.He stood frozen, eyes heavy with shame, unsure how to even begin to explain himself.Sophia stared at Alex, eyes gentle despite the tension."It's okay," she whispered softly. "I know you didn't mean it. I just don't want you to hurt my mother, even if she's the one who's wrong."Alex lowered his gaze, voice barely audible. "I'm sorry."Sophia stepped closer and wrapped her arms around him."Don't apologize," she murmured into his chest."I know exactly why you acted that way. I was there—I saw what happened when Laura Montclair sent those soldiers
Chapter 365
For a brief moment, absolute silence engulfed the living room.Everyone stood frozen, staring at Alex, stunned by the recklessness of his actions.Madam Henny was not just anyone. She was a pillar of the Montclair family, a respected elder whose every move was met with admiration and reverence.Disrespecting her was unthinkable.Florence broke the silence first, "Have you completely lost your mind, Alex? How dare you humiliate Madam Henny like this?"Henny’s eyes blazed with pure rage, "You bastard! Do you even realize what you’ve done? You'll pay dearly for this!"Alex didn’t flinch. Instead, he met Henny’s hateful gaze with a cold smile.“You want to know why?”“Maybe you should ask your daughter, Laura Montclair. Last time I saw her, she had the military capture and torture me. Didn’t she mention that to you?”Stepping closer, Alex’s voice sharpened, laced with contempt.“Laura’s locked away now, so I can’t get my revenge directly. But since you’re her mother—the one who taught her
