CHAPTER 80
She took a step closer, her heels clicking like hammer strikes against the marble.“You know what I think, Lance?” she purred, her tone venom wrapped in velvet. “I think you stole that card. From the Prescott Army.”The crowd gasped. Even the CEO’s expression shifted into a frown of uncertainty.Vivian’s voice sharpened, each word meant to carve him down to nothing.“And you know what the punishment for that is, right? Capital punishment. They’ll hang you like a dog in front of the entire city. Prescott law doesn’t tolerate those who mess with the army.”Her friends howled, circling him like vultures.“Lance the Lunatic,” one jeered.“Prescott’s Dumbest Thief,” another chimed in.“Maybe they’ll let us livestream the execution,” the third said, laughter breaking her words.The CEO and the agent exchanged confused glances, caught between the weight of the Seal’s authority and the undeniable failure on the machine’s screen.Lance stood there, completely unmoved, as if Vivian’s voice and

The crowd shifted, murmurs flaring again.Vivian turned dramatically, pacing a slow circle as if addressing an audience in a theater rather than a property showroom.“Do I need to remind you all who this man is?” she said, her voice laced with scorn. “If he’s so rich, why did he leech off the Sinclair family for five whole years? Huh? This man is just putting on a show, and you’re all falling for it like sheep.”Her friends snickered, filming every second.Vivian spun back toward the CEO, eyes glinting. “If that card is real, then why doesn’t he use it? Right here. In front of everyone. Then maybe, I’ll believe him.”She gave a fake little laugh, dripping with smugness. “Everyone else here might be gullible, but I’m not.”The CEO’s jaw tightened. His voice was cold as steel.“If it weren’t for the fact you’re one of the Graysons, you’d already be escorted out of this building. Nobody! And I mean, nobody! Dares to question the holder of the General’s Seal.”Vivian gave an exaggerated r

The agent felt her knees weaken. She’d only ever seen a picture of that card and had strict orders that anyone presenting it was to be treated as a priority client above all others.Even the CEO of Titan Estates would personally show up if summoned by the cardholder.The murmurs swelled into a wave of awe and fear.“That card… the last man who used it bought the Crownview Tower.”“I heard it comes directly from the General himself.”“They say if you offend someone with that card, you and your generation will face the wrath of the Prescott army.”How did an ordinary, useless son-in-law lay his hands on that card?The agent’s hands trembled, and her wide eyes darted between the black card and Lance’s calm, unreadable face.Without a word, she excused herself, clutching the card like it was made of pure gold.Her heels clicked sharply across the marble as she disappeared behind a frosted glass door.Whispers surged in the room.“Who is he?”“Why would he have that card?”“Could he be… co
CHAPTER 77
The agent’s heart was racing now. She could feel the room’s energy spiraling into something else.“Sir,” she said quickly, stepping between them, “please—let’s not attract any more unnecessary attention. Just leave for now. We can… find you another property.”But Lance’s gaze didn’t even flicker toward her. His voice was low, absolute.“I’m not going anywhere. Not until I get the home I came to purchase.”The conviction in his tone silenced the agent. Around them, the atmosphere tightened. Every eye in the room was fixed on Lance.Vivian tilted her chin at the agent, her voice dripping with scorn.“You really think this man can afford the house?” She gestured toward Lance with a flick of her wrist, as if pointing at an insect. “Did you not hear me when I said he’s been mentally ill for the past three years?”Her friends gasped in mock sympathy, hands pressed over their mouths.“And you really think he has two hundred million dollars?” the one with the black hair chimed in.Vivian lean
CHAPTER 76
The agent’s face had gone pale. Beads of sweat pricked her forehead as she imagined the consequences.If the Graysons really took offense… Titan Estates could be finished. And she could completely lose he completelyr job.“Ma’am,” she whispered urgently to Vivian, “please—maybe we can talk about this—”Vivian ignored her completely, her voice shifting into a trembling, wounded tone the moment the call connected.“Darren…!” She almost sobbed into the phone. “I’m at Titan Homes, trying to buy a property, when that useless ex–son-in-law from the Sinclair family, yes, him, started insulting me! Humiliating me! I just came here to look at houses, and he harassed me in front of everyone!”Her voice cracked perfectly on cue. “He even… he even destroyed my phone, Darren!”The words hung in the air for barely a second before Darren’s voice detonated through the speaker.“WHAT?!”Heads turned. Conversations stopped. The weight of his fury seemed to ripple through the marble floor itself.Vivian
CHAPTER 75
“Wasn’t there a video of her calling him useless at a gala?”“I remember! She said he couldn’t even provide for his family!”Vivian’s phone was gone, but her friend’s livestream was thriving. The screen was filled with laughing emojis and insults.Vivian’s eyes lit with malicious glee. She spun toward Lance, her voice loud enough to draw attention from the other clients scattered across the viewing lounge.“Ohhh… now I remember you,” she sneered. “You’re that pathetic fool the Sinclairs kept around like a… what’s the word?” She glanced at her friend.“Pet?” her friend offered, smirking.“No, no… parasite,” Vivian said, dragging out each syllable. “That’s the one.”The other friend’s laughter could be heard from all corners of the showroom. “Your own wife humiliated you in public. I watched the clip, so embarrassing.”By now, the insults were no longer confined to the livestream chat. Clients and staff who recognized Lance whispered among themselves. A few didn’t even bother lowering t
