Serena sat in her swivel chair, staring blankly at the documents on her desk.

It had been hours since she left the courtroom and returned to the hospital, but she still couldn’t wrap her head around what was happening.

Joaquin had been arrested for sexual harassment.

Of course, he denied it. And at first, she believed him.

But then James showed her the photos.

And suddenly, doubt crept in.

She knew James.

He was kind and gentle—that was what she liked about him.

But Mikyla was his ex-girlfriend. They had almost gotten engaged.

Joaquin was her boyfriend now. And he had been nothing but genuine toward her.

So how could he have done it?

Her phone rang abruptly, making her jump.

Sighing, she grabbed it from her desk and answered. “What do you want, Andrea?” she asked lazily.

Her stepsister’s voice came through the line, sharp and worried. “What is going on? I ju

  • Chapter 247: The Threat Within

    Jasmine paced nervously outside their father’s office. Her stomach was in knots, and her mind kept replaying all the worst possibilities—what could be said, what truths might be revealed, and what kind of damage those truths might bring.Then came a voice, sharp and venomous."What are you doing here?!"She froze and turned quickly. Her steps faltered when she saw who it was—Gracia. Panting, fuming, and glaring at her like she was filth on the ground.“Gracia,” Jasmine greeted coldly.Gracia jabbed a finger toward her face. “Leave! What now? You planning to leech more money off my husband?!”Jasmine blinked at the accusation, but then smirked, unbothered. &ldqu

  • Chapter 246: A Conversation Between Blood

    Joaquin watched the man in front of him in silence. Javier Villareal sat comfortably in a single chair, his gaze locked onto Joaquin like he was reading him—measuring him.This man was his father. Javier Villareal.And this wasn’t their first meeting.Javier cleared his throat. “So, I guess… this is a bit awkward. I didn’t expect you to bring him here already, Jasmine,” he said, tone calm but deliberate.Joaquin’s brow furrowed. “What do you mean by that?”Jasmine shook her head. “I have my reasons. And besides, you’ve been asking about him for a while now. He deserves to know

  • Chapter 245: Going

    “Joaquin, are you really sure about this?” Jasmine asked, her voice laced with worry. “What if you’re just acting on impulse? Please, think this through first.”Joaquin straightened his shirt and stared at his reflection in the mirror. His jaw was tense, his gaze unflinching.“I have to do this, Jasmine. If the Villareals really have ties to the Black Viper Society, I need to know. More than that, I need to meet our other brother,” he said firmly.Jasmine let out a heavy sigh. She understood her brother’s resolve, but it didn’t ease the gnawing worry in her chest. Especially now that he was planning to face their father—a man she hadn’t seen in years.“Then I’m coming with you,” she decla

  • Chapter 244: Who was he?

    When Joaquin first discovered the power within the ring passed down to him, he felt nothing but awe. It made him feel special, chosen by his ancestors to inherit something sacred.But now… that feeling had changed.He twisted the ring around his middle finger with his thumb, absentmindedly, as the car carried him home.His thoughts were adrift again.If the Villareals truly had ties to the Black Viper Society… when did it start? Was it just his father who was involved? Or did it go even further, back to the roots of their bloodline?Was that why they possessed such secret powers?Joaquin’s chest tightened just thinking about what kind of family he might have co

  • Chapter 243: One of them

    Joaquin returned to the temple in silence. His mind churned, restless—unable to shake the face of the man he had fought.That man… was his brother.And maybe he was the same voice George Beckham once spoke to in secret, back when the Villareals began to move their pawns across the board.Rick walked beside him, his brows furrowed. “You’ve been quiet since the fight. What did your enemy say to you?”Joaquin let out a slow breath. “There’s something you and Mr. Suarez need to know.”Rick’s expression shifted. He could feel the weight in Joaquin’s voice—this wasn’t just aftermath. Joaquin wasn’t just shaken… he was changed.Rick nodded. “Let’s go directly to him.”

  • Chapter 242:The Dragon Gate Trap

    The night air was heavy with mist as Joaquin approached the ancient arch of the Dragon Gate.Perched at the edge of the northern cliffs, the structure stood half-swallowed by vines and time—a forgotten place that once marked the border between warrior clans before peace had been brokered by the Tiger Council.Now, its silence thrummed with tension—as if the earth itself remembered the bloodshed.Joaquin wore no armor. Only the jade amulet around his neck and a simple dark cloak. His steps were soundless, his aura coiled and subdued, ready.He was alone, at least in appearance.Behind him, hidden in the shadows along the ridge, Rick crouched with two of Miguel Suarez’s most trusted scouts. They weren’t
