Darriel smirked triumphantly as he clapped Alaric's shoulder. "You pathetic loser, never imagined Jade would contact me for a late-night meeting, did you?"Hah! This is priceless!Seeing Alaric's ashen face filled Darriel with pure satisfaction!What man wouldn't see red if his wife arranged secret meetings with another man?Yet Alaric merely smirked coolly. "Oh? And what exactly are you trying to prove?"<

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

Caleb's jaw dropped. He'd never seen Zachary this furious before!Not once in all these years.As an old-timer at the company, Caleb knew instantly—something big had gone wrong.Was it possible... that young man they'd arrested had powerful backing?!"Mr. Marlowe, what's going on?" Caleb asked through gritted teeth.Zachary glared icily, snapping, "You dare ask me?! This is your damn fault! Where is he? Take me there now!"This idiot Caleb still didn't get how serious this was.After years in the field, how could he be so blind?They ran a security firm, but that didn't give them license to detain people randomly!One wrong move—pissing off the wrong person—and the whole company could go under.Sensing Zachary's rage, Caleb quickly showed him the way to the basement holding room.Inside, Alaric sat composed, eyes closed in meditation.He wasn't worried at all.He'd done nothing wrong.His people

Elandor sat back comfortably, a smug grin spreading across his face as he drawled, "I won't ask too much of you, Mr. Phillips. Just help me contact your brother and have him put in a word. My classmate acted recklessly and crossed a line—letting him stew in detention for a few extra days as a lesson wouldn't hurt."His tone was light, but the gleam of a schemer who'd gotten his way shone in his eyes.Cassius's Achilles' heel? His wife.And that vulnerability was being exploited now.After a brief pause, Cassius nodded. "Alright, I'll reach out to my brother."A quarter hour later, Cassius stepped out of his office and drove to a gleaming office tower. He knocked on the executive suite door and waited for acknowledgment before entering.Inside, Zachary was buried in paperwork, his demeanor razor-sharp despite the late hour.The man was burning the midnight oil."Caleb," Zachary said with practiced warmth, cradling a teacup. He blew gently

Inside the lavish villa, Mr. Rowen was deep in discussion with his inner circle.After wiping out Shadow Accord's entire operation, the sheer scale of the spoils was too much for him to handle alone. He needed to strategize carefully with his most trusted men.Dozens of establishments were involved, each entangled with complex interests and powerful connections.Suddenly, Carl burst into the room in a frenzy, drenched in sweat. Mr. Rowen's eyebrow arched sharply. "What the hell's got you spooked?""Boss, Mr. Splendor's been arrested," Carl panted, wiping his brow. "Just got intel—he was taken at Peace Grand Hotel."Mr. Rowen shot to his feet, face darkening. "What?! How the fuck did this happen?""Allegedly caught harassing some woman. But our sources say it was a setup by that lowlife Greg's lackeys," Carl explained."Greg?" Mr. Rowen's voice dripped venom, his aura turning lethal. "That nobody's digging his own grave touching Mr. Splendor!"

In the VIP booth, Elandor gripped his phone with a face like thunder and growled, "Make sure nothing goes wrong, or you won't see a single cent!"He'd spent months planning tonight's scheme.He couldn't afford slip-ups.Tonight, he'd claim Jade for himself—and bury Alaric once and for all."Relax, Mr. Stone. When Greg handles things, it's bulletproof. Just take your time with her tonight."A sleazy chuckle crackled through the phone.Elandor's brow twitched. "Just do your job," he snapped, voice like ice. "The rest isn't your concern."He loathed Greg's tone. The man was a notorious creep, but reliable—and that's what mattered.The door burst open suddenly, revealing Alaric and Jade.Elandor ended the call and rose with a plastic smile. "Jade, you're here."His grin froze when he spotted Alaric, hardening into a glare. "Sit wherever, Alaric. Just us three tonight."The air turned thick as they settled in.Elando
