But just before entering the room, Serena stopped her.

Chapter 249: A Declaration
Joaquin adjusted the collar of his charcoal gray polo as he stepped out of the car. His eyes lingered on the grand entrance of the five-star hotel that loomed before him, its golden light spilling out onto the marble steps like an invitation—and a warning. The very air around it seemed to buzz with expectation.He could already hear the muffled hum of the event inside: clinking glasses, classical music, laughter too polished to be sincere.Jasmine smoothed out the pleats of her emerald green dress and stood beside him. “Are you ready?” she asked, her voice low but firm. “We can never go back after this, Joaquin. The moment we enter that place, everything changes.”Joaquin’s face hardened. “I know.”Tonight wasn’t just

“I can’t believe this! What the hell are you doing, James?” Gracia snapped at her son, pacing back and forth in the living room. She puffed aggressively on her cigarette, frustration written all over her face. “Your father already met him!”“What?” James asked in disbelief, rising from his seat. “Are you sure?”Gracia stopped and glared at him. “I am—because I was there! I saw them with my own eyes!”She threw herself onto the sofa, crushing the cigarette into the ashtray until it nearly disintegrated.“How long are you going to keep chasing Serena like some loyal dog, huh? You're forgetting what’s more im
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.

You planning to leech more money off my husband?!”Jasmine blinked at the accusation, but then smirked, unbothered. &ldqu

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
