Still refusing to back down?Alaric's lips curled into a cold smirk. In a flash, Tim—Fred's father—whirled around and delivered another stinging slap across his son's face, bellowing, "Shut your damn mouth!"Fred reeled, stunned. This was the first time in his life his father had ever struck him&mdash

No sooner had the words been spoken than Cherrie fixed Alaric with a piercing stare, her eyes boring into him as if trying to extract some hidden truth."What? You bought a house? Alaric, are you hearing yourself? After three years of barely scraping by, you can afford property? You couldn't even buy a closet in this market!"Cherrie was furious. The sheer audacity of this useless son-in-law spinning such tales at a time like this!Him? Buy property?She'd paid half for his and Jade's wedding home herself!With Olympus Reach prices now reaching twenty to thirty thousand per square foot!And he claims he can afford it?"Mom, I actually had some family savings when I married Jade. The purchase was recent. If you and Dad would like to stay there, I can arrange it immediately," Alaric replied evenly.Even Gavin, who'd been fiddling with antiques nearby, couldn't ignore this anymore. He snorted, "Alaric, your mother criticizes you for being unsucce

Panic mode activated!Cherrie was in a complete panic, her hands shaking uncontrollably as she scrambled to pull out her phone and snap a photo.She wanted proof to grill Alaric about later.Of course, Cherrie was seriously questioning who Alaric really was now.How the hell was this loser riding in a luxury car with the richest man in Olympus Reach?Cherrie's mind was blown as she hurriedly turned to leave.Back home, she immediately showed Gavin: "Gavin, look at this—isn't this Alaric?"Gavin had been out walking his bird. Putting down the birdcage and pushing up his reading glasses, he frowned. "Why are you taking pictures of him? Are you stalking him now?"He was baffled. What was wrong with his wife?Was she really stooping this low as to spy on someone?Cherrie glared at him and whacked his arm. "Look closely at who's next to him!"Gavin squinted, then gasped. "Is... is that Gideon?"Cherrie nodded, dropping ont

As the icy woman stormed out of the conference room, the tension hung thick like a suffocating fog that refused to dissipate.Jade's cheek throbbed from the stinging slap, her mind reeling—she'd never seen this stranger before.Yet the woman had clearly recognized Alaric."Director Rafe," Henry began, his voice strained, "I—I apologize for this disruption. Regarding our collaboration—"Mr. Rafe forced a smile. "The deal still stands. In fact, we could finalize it now—"His phone rang, cutting him off mid-sentence. After a terse conversation, his face darkened. "Understood," he muttered before hanging up."What's wrong?" Henry immediately noticed the shift. "Another complication?""My deepest apologies, Chairman Sydney, Ms. Kingsley." Mr. Rafe straightened his tie nervously. "We're pausing negotiations immediately. I must consult with Dr. Vane—excuse me."He bolted from the room with his team, leaving the executive

Always with her hand out for money—that was Cherrie Logan.The woman had no shame whatsoever.Alaric was speechless, at a loss for words, his gaze shifting to Jade.Jade marched over, her voice icy. "Mom, what are you doing? Even if Alaric took that money, it's not for you. It's for Aria's medical treatment."She understood her husband's nature—he'd only mentioned the million to shut Cherrie up. But even he hadn't expected his mother-in-law to demand it outright.Cherrie's face darkened instantly. She sprang up from her seat, making a scene. "Did I say I wouldn't pay for Aria's treatment? I'm just keeping the money safe! If you need it, just ask!"Jade saw red. There was no way she'd hand over that cash. In Cherrie's heart, Aria meant nothing. Once that money landed in her grasp, getting it back would be nearly impossible.When Jade refused, Cherrie turned sharply to Alaric, her tone bossy. "Alaric, answer me—are you giving me thi

The door swung open to reveal Alaric standing outside.Cherrie's expression froze as she asked suspiciously, "Weren't you arrested? How'd you get out?"Alaric chuckled. "Mom, I didn't break any laws. They had to let me go."Hearing Alaric's voice, Jade rushed over and embraced him, tears welling in her eyes.Alaric comforted her gently. "It's okay, I'm fine now. See? I'm back."In the living room, the family gathered together.Cherrie and Gavin sat sternly on the couch, their sharp gazes fixed on Alaric, full of unspoken questions.Beside Alaric sat an elderly man—Gideon.Cherrie eyed Gideon with clear displeasure. "Alaric," she said sharply, "who's this old man? You can't just bring strangers into my house!"She disapproved of his outfit—an elderly gentleman in a crisp suit, holding an unfamiliar black hat, smiling cheerfully.Definitely a questionable character.No wonder Alaric got arrested, associating with peopl

Alaric's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in his gaze.Elandor's whole body trembled, sensing an indescribable aura radiating from Alaric—an air of absolute confidence."Alaric, do you really think knowing Thane makes you special?" Elandor let out a forced, mocking laugh, struggling to steady himself. This had to be fake. How could a nobody like Alaric suddenly act so tough?Elandor had his father's connections. His dad knew people. He wasn't worried about what Alaric might try!Yet Alaric responded with icy calm, "Elandor, I never meant to go against you, but you've been coming at me nonstop. I know you planned tonight's events. Letting you off the hook would betray both myself and Jade."A twinge of sadness flickered in Alaric's heart. The word "brother" meant nothing to him now.Elandor's face twisted into a sneer. "Alaric, I don't believe you can touch me!"Before the words fully left his mouth, Alaric said calmly from the co
