Chapter 396
“Frederick! You can’t hit Alex!” Lawrence rushed in, grabbing Frederick’s arm just as it swung toward Alex.“Shut the hell up!” Frederick snarled.He seized Lawrence by the collar and flung him aside like trash.But Lawrence scrambled to his feet and stood in front of Alex again, shielding him with his own body.“So that’s it? You forget your family and protect this bastard?” Frederick’s fists clenched, trembling with rage as he raised his arm again.“He healed Grandfather—don’t forget that. If you lay a hand on him, I’ll call my father,” Lawrence warned, his voice trembling yet firm.“And you know exactly what will happen then.”The threat cut through Frederick’s fury. There were only two men in the family he feared—his grandfather, and second, Henry.“Fine.” Frederick spat the word like venom.“Then tell that fake doctor to get out. We’ve already paid him. If he doesn’t leave in a minute, he won’t leave at all.”Alex laughed coldly, picked up the bag of money, and hurled it at Frede
Chapter 395
“Uncle,” Frederick snapped.“How could you stand on this loser’s side? He dares demand two hundred million from us? Why don’t we just drag him out and torture him?”“Loser? Torture me?” Alex let out a low, weary laugh and rubbed his temple as if Frederick’s words gave him a headache.He raised a single finger, his eyes narrowing. “Three hundred million. If not, I’m walking out right now to heal my emotional hurt. Goodbye.”He turned toward the door without hesitation.“Who allowed you to come and go as you please!”Frederick lunged for him, but before he could touch Alex, Henry’s fist smashed into Frederick’s face with a heavy thud that echoed through the room.Frederick staggered back, crashing to the floor.His eyes widened in disbelief. “Uncle… why did you hit me?”“You useless fool!” Henry’s voice thundered. His face was dark with fury.“Every time you open your mouth, filth spills out. Get the hell out if you can’t control yourself!”“Henry, that was too much.” Benjamin’s voice w
Chapter 394
Alex stood in silence, caught between two sides—on one end, the Kingstons, and on the other, Sophia and Lyra.All he wanted was peace, but they were pulling each other apart, and he didn’t know where to place his support.“Alex,” Lyra said urgently, “the Kingstons are attacking us—through the media, through the people, every way they can. They want Charles to become Governor of Paris.”“We’ve done nothing wrong, yet they’re striking at us nonstop. Can you help us? You’re our only hope.”Her voice cracked with desperation. “If we can’t stop them, we’ll die, Alex. I’ll give you my body if that’s what it takes. Just give us the Lexington family’s support.”“Fine,” Alex finally broke his silence. “I don’t have the miracle pill, but I can treat him myself.”Deep down, he knew the truth—this country needed stability above all else.He would not allow it to collapse into civil war, not now, not when the Kingstons and Sophia with Lyra were already standing on the razor’s edge of war.“Thank y
Chapter 393
In the Prescott family’s estate in Lexington, the air was thick with dread.On the grand bed lay Samuel Prescott, the bald, aging patriarch. His once-commanding frame had withered, his skin pale as parchment, his breath shallow and labored.Around him, the Prescott bloodline gathered in tense silence, their faces shadowed with worry.“Benjamin!” Henry’s voice cracked as he paced the floor, his nerves unraveling. “Father was fine yesterday. How could he collapse so suddenly?”Benjamin’s jaw tightened. “Don’t start pointing fingers at me,” he snapped.“Father brought this on himself. Trying to break past level one hundred at his age—it was madness. No one’s ever done it, and now look where it’s gotten him.”Henry stopped in his tracks, fists clenched, his face twisted with helpless anger. “Why does he keep pushing himself like this?”A sudden cry split the air. “Grandfather’s coughing up blood!” Frederick Prescott, Benjamin’s broad-shouldered son, lurched forward, eyes wide with shock.
Chapter 392
Alfred Kingston shook his head slowly, his voice edged with disdain.“Alex, I’ll admit you have courage. But the line between bravery and stupidity is razor-thin.”“And right now, you’re nothing but a fool who doesn’t even know his own limits. You’re nothing—worthless. You’re not even qualified to be our enemy.”Alex’s gaze was unflinching. “Mr. Kingston, a man is meant to be destroyed, not defeated.”Alfred’s lips curled into a bitter smile. He exhaled sharply, then barked, “Fine! Very well! You’re fearless, I’ll give you that. If you want to be destroyed, so be it.”“But for the sake of our past ties, I’ll give you one chance. Stop seeing Jasmine. Cut all ties with her, and I won’t hold this against you. But if you persist, you’ll face the consequences. We will crush you. Now get out.”He rose from his chair, his body language final—conversation over.Alex rose to his feet and walked toward the door. After a few steps, he stopped and turned. His voice was calm, deliberate.“Mr. Kin
Chapter 391
Morning light bled through the cracked shutters of the slum clinic.Alex bent over a frail, middle-aged man whose chest rose and fell shallowly, ribs jutting like bars of a cage beneath paper-thin skin.Malnutrition—that was what Alex fought against every day.Hunger had carved itself into the bones of this place, a wound that refused to close—no matter how tirelessly Josephine worked, no matter how many mouths she tried to feed.A knock came at the door.Alex straightened, wiping his hands on a rag. Kelly stood there, framed in the doorway, her eyes locked on his.“Alfred Kingston wants to see you. In Los Angeles,” she said flatly.A storm churned inside Alex.His bond with Kelly had grown too tangled—love knotted with hate, affection soured into jealousy.He forced a breath, shook his head, and said flatly, “I’m sorry. I’m busy.”“It’s about Jasmine,” Kelly said. “We found her.”The name froze him in place.Up until now, his only hope of finding Jasmine was to wait for Charles to re
