Chapter 465
Before Heinrich could reach Sofina, Eve hurled its large, egg-shaped body forward, intercepting his knife mid-swing.“Where do you think you’re pointing that weapon?” Eve snarled, its voice sharp and metallic.In the next heartbeat, its small hand shot out like lightning. The slap cracked through the hall — a brutal, echoing strike that sent three of Heinrich’s teeth skittering across the marble floor.He dropped hard, clutching his bleeding mouth, moaning in agony.“Sofina Scheinwald—please!” he cried, his voice cracking with panic. “I’m sorry! I never should’ve spread those lies about you! Please, forgive me! Help me—call off the suit, talk to the police, just save me!”Before anyone could respond, a police drone descended from above with a mechanical hum.“Suspect located. Engaging restraint,” it announced coldly.A sharp electrical crack filled the air as the drone’s taser hit Heinrich. His body jerked violently, muscles seizing, eyes rolling back before he collapsed flat on the g

“So, you’re choosing the second option,” Alex said.Heinrich’s lips twisted into a cruel grin. “Who the hell do you think you are, threatening me?” he barked, voice thick with arrogance and scorn.A low, mocking laugh followed. “Do you even have the slightest idea who I am?”He turned, spreading his arms, drawing the crowd in like a showman demanding attention.“Look at him!” he barked, jabbing a finger at Alex. Faces turned.“This half-breed servant has completely lost his goddamn mind!” he sneered. “This bastard thinks he can ruin me! I’m Heinrich Schiller! People beg for my time, they fight to have me on their projects!“I’m one of Winchester’s greatest minds! And you—” he stepped closer, “—you’re nothing but a filthy street dog pretending to be a man.”Alex didn’t flinch. He just stared back, calm and unreadable, like someone studying a corpse that hadn’t realized it was dead yet.Alex tapped his bracelet and spoke into it. “Marlene. Heinrich Schiller is accusing Sofina Scheinwald
Chapter 463
Night dropped like a curtain, and the Wolfsbane banquet hall burst to life with laughter and light.This was their night—their triumph—one that would echo in family stories for years.They had spared no expense. The Wolfsbanes booked Winchester’s most luxurious hotel, hired master chefs, poured the rarest wines, and brought in a singer whose voice could wash the weight off any soul.Every detail shimmered with wealth and power.Word had already spread through Winchester like wildfire: the Wolfsbane family had secured the Eden Group contract. Even more shocking—the chairman herself, Countess Marlena Von Adler, would attend.The invitations became golden tickets overnight. Everyone wanted one. Few had the privilege to hold it.Alex and Sofina walked through the hotel’s marble lobby with Eve gliding at their lead — an egg-shaped robot with soft chrome curves.Sofina’s hand found Eve’s smooth shell. She hugged the little machine like she’d hugged a living thing.“Miss Sofina,” Eve said sw

Annabella’s voice came through the speaker, sharp and controlled. “Thank you for the information, Heinrich.” Then she cut the call.Baroness Wolfsbane sat still, her brow tightening as the pieces fell into place. The story fit too well—too cleanly.Sofina’s sudden rise, that hundred-million-dollar deal that had seemed almost divine—it all made sense now.“She must’ve sold herself to every high-ranking man in the Eden Group,” the Baroness thought, her lips curving faintly.But truth be told, she didn’t care. In fact, she almost admired it.If that was what it took to secure a collaboration with the Eden Group, then it was a price worth paying.A clever move. A necessary sacrifice.She wasn’t going to press charges. Still, this was not something to parade before the family. It had to stay buried.Beatrix stepped forward. “Grandmother, if you make that shameless woman director, you’ll destroy the Wolfsbane name. The whispers will never stop. People will talk.”She leaned in closer, her t

Baroness Wolfsbane rose from her seat. “It’s a joyful day,” she declared. “Sofina has secured the collaboration with the Eden Group for our family.”Beatrix crossed her arms. “Grandmother, since Sofina’s the one who landed the deal. You promised that whoever secured the contract would be named Deputy Chair of the Wolfsbane Estate. So, who will it be?”The Baroness’s expression stiffened. Her silver brows arched slightly as her mind turned.Yes, she had made that promise—whoever brought the deal home would become director of the family company.But Sofina Scheinwald? The woman she never favored? The very wife of that useless man she could barely tolerate? The thought soured in her chest. What if Sofina gained too much power—what if she slipped out of her control?“Grandmother,” Beatrix pressed, voice sharp and direct. “Are you truly going to appoint Sofina Scheinwald as Baroness-Designate?”The Baroness’s smile vanished. “I gave my word to Sofina. Why shouldn’t I appoint her?”Beatrix

Sofina drew in a slow breath, her chest tight with fury she refused to show.“I’m sorry to disappoint you,” she said evenly, her eyes sweeping across the room. “I didn’t fail. I struck a deal with Countess Marlena Von Adler of the Eden Group. The Wolfsbane Group is now officially partnered with Eden. Whether you like it or not—I succeeded.”The room froze.Beatrix’s mouth fell open. “What—what did you just say? You’re telling us you actually did it?”Annabella barked a laugh, sharp and bitter. “Oh, please. Impossible! You couldn’t even meet Countess Marlena Von Adler. Everyone saw you being thrown out of the building!”A low wave of murmurs rolled through the hall.Conrad leaned forward, his lips curling into a sneer. “You really expect us to believe that crap? Everyone knows your ex-husband threw you out of the Eden Group building himself!”“You weren’t even allowed past the lobby. So tell me, Sofina—what’s your little game this time?”Beatrix slammed her hand against the table, “Mis
