Chapter 437
“Heinrich, you’re incredible!” someone called out, and the crowd erupted with cruel approval. Murmurs rippled through the room, sharp and cutting.“Smart move,” one man said under his breath.“She’s pathetic,” another sneered. “Crying over a man who’s already done with her.”“She’s drowning in emotions—feelings make people stupid,” a third added with a laugh.“Look at her, humiliated in front of everyone. I’d love to meet her father… to see what kind of man could raise a daughter this foolish. Absolutely shameful.”“Now, Sofina,” Heinrich said, straightening his suit, his tone polite as a blade. “I’m done wasting time. Leave this banquet. I don’t want you humiliating Katarina—or everyone here—with your presence. You reek of poverty.”“You never loved me, did you?” Sofina whispered. Her faith cracked—not from disbelief, but from believing too much.“I loved you,” Heinrich said.“But only when you were useful—when you gave me your money, your body, your time. Back then, I really did lov

Heinrich kicked Alex back with a sneer. “Great. A bastard and a desperate woman. You two really make this place reek.”Sofina’s eyes filled with tears. “Heinrich, I’ve been with you for three years. I did everything for you. I cooked, worked, sacrificed—everything so you could succeed.”Heinrich tilted his head, feigning confusion.“Did I ever ask you to?” Heinrich’s voice cut through the air, sharp and mocking.“No, Sofina. You did all of that on your own. You pushed yourself to serve me, hoping it would make you feel needed. Let’s be honest—you weren’t helping me, you were chasing your own little sense of happiness. I was already generous enough to let someone like you stay by my side.”A ripple of laughter spread through the room.“Unbelievable,” one man muttered. “Heinrich actually spent three years with her. She should be grateful for that.”Another woman smirked. “Yeah, he gave her three years, and now she still wants to hold onto him? What a greedy fool.”“She’s delusional,” so

“Alex,” Katarina snapped. “You’ve already embarrassed me enough. I don’t want to see your face here again. Go kneel by the entrance until I decide you’ve suffered enough to deserve forgiveness!”Alex lowered his head. His voice came out quiet, respectful. “Yes, my wife.”Her eyes flared. Another slap, sharper than the first. “Who said I’m your wife? If it weren’t for that Saint-Claire name, even a dog wouldn’t marry you. Now get out!”Heinrich Schiller stepped forward and caught Katarina’s arm, smirking. “Don’t waste your anger on that mutt, Katarina. You’ll only lower yourself.”Alex said nothing.‘Silence after an insult is the loudest cry.’He turned and walked toward the exit, head bowed, every eye on him.Whispered voices filled the room as soon as he was gone.“I heard he’s the last of the Saint-Claires,” one man murmured.“Last?” another scoffed. “That family’s been dead for decades. Only Logan Saint-Claire escaped, and he disappeared like a rat.”A woman laughed behind her gla
Chapter 434
Charles was screaming in the hospital corridor, his voice mangled and desperate.“I’m Charles Kingston! I have Gilbert Guise’s will! I’m the Governor of Paris! You can’t arrest me!”But after his tongue had been cut, every word came out broken, barely understandable.Nurses and patients stared in confusion. The officers exchanged uneasy looks.One policeman — older, calm, steady — stepped closer and tried to make sense of the gibberish.He leaned in, listened carefully, and finally pieced together enough of what Charles meant.He sighed. “Mr. Kingston,” he said firmly, “even if you were the Prime Minister himself — the law is the law. When a man kills, he answers for it. You might be the Governor, but you’re not above justice. You’re under arrest.”Charles shook his head violently, spit flying. “No! No! The will— Gilbert’s will— it says I inherit everything if I kill Alex! His position, his title— I’m the rightful Governor!”The officer strained again to understand, asking him to repe

“No—Bella, you can’t— you can’t do this to me!” Charles screamed.Panic shredded his voice. Minutes ago he’d been on the edge of everything he’d wanted. This couldn’t be the end.He refused to accept it. He had sacrificed too much to get here — fought, schemed, and clawed his way to the top.He wasn’t about to lose everything now.Bella’s face was a blade. “You kill my man and think you’ll walk away untouched?”She spat. “Think you’re invincible? That the world spins for you?”“Bella, please,” Charles croaked, clutching at air. “I have Guise’s will—inheritance. I’ll pay. Money will fix this. A billion—ten billion—anything. Just let me go.”Her laugh was low and cruel. “Why should I hand you what’s mine? All that money will be mine once you’re dead. I only need your eyes and your fingerprints.”“How do you—?” Charles gasped.“I paid Mike,” Bella growled. “You think Mike’s on your side?” Her eyes were cold steel. “Now give me your eyes and your hands.”“Take Paris,” Charles babbled, his
Chapter 432
Charles Kingston slammed into Mike’s office, shoulder first, blowing past the secretary’s outstretched arm and the thin line of authority she tried to hold.His breath came in short bursts, his face flushed with adrenaline.“Mike!” he barked, voice shaking with excitement. “I killed Alex. I killed Gilbert Guise’s murderer!”The secretary’s composure cracked for only a second. She lowered her head, her tone crisp and respectful. “Sir, I tried to stop him, but he wouldn’t listen.”Mike, seated behind his wide oak desk, didn’t raise his voice.He paused his phone call with a simple, controlled motion, thumb pressing gently on the receiver.“Hold on,” he said into the receiver. Then, turning to Debora with that smug little half-grin, he added, “It’s fine, Debora. It’s Charles Kingston — the legend himself. Rules don’t apply to him, remember?”Then his attention shifted fully to Charles, his tone smooth, precise, professional.“Charles,” he said evenly, “I’m still on a call. Please give me
