Chapter 256: A Father's Worry
“What?! Where are they now?”Javier’s voice thundered across the mansion’s halls.The news had just reached him—something had happened to his children.“Y-Yes, sir. Don’t worry. I already sent men there. They’re currently looking for the… for the siblings,” Michael answered, his voice uncertain.Javier collapsed onto the couch, rubbing his temples with trembling fingers.He couldn’t understand why this had to happen now—just when he had finally seen his son again.“I knew this was going to happen! I shouldn’t have let Joaquin leave!” Javier growled.
Chapter 255: A Mother's Love
Gracia smiled as she watched the quarry warehouse crumble to the ground. She could hardly believe that the siblings had actually fallen into their trap—especially Joaquin.Her plan had worked.After they brought Jasmine to the warehouse rigged with explosives, they waited from a distance—far enough to remain unseen but close enough to witness it all unfold. And just as expected, Joaquin followed.And now she was sure—there would be no more problems between her and her son.“Did we really do the right thing, Mom?” James asked. His eyes were also fixed on the ruins of the warehouse. But unlike Gracia, worry was clearly written all over his face.Gracia’s brows furrowed immediately as she turned to her son.
Chapter 254: Not Them
Joaquin no longer cared what might happen to him. The only thing that mattered now was saving his sister—because he couldn’t bear the thought of her getting hurt again… because of him.It wasn’t long before he arrived at the abandoned quarry warehouse.Right away, he spotted several guards stationed outside. They were all wearing masks and holding long rifles. But unlike the enemies he had once fought beside their mysterious brother, these men were weaker—he could feel it in their aura.Joaquin smirked.“They really sent these guys to stop me? They must still think I’m a joke after that last fight,” he thought with a scoff.He didn’t waste a single second.He moved like the wind, swift and invisible. One by one, the guards dropped before they could even react. They never got the chance to fight back. They couldn’t even defend themselves.Once he was sure that all of them were down, Joaquin crept silently toward the entrance.The warehouse was quiet. All he could see was darkness.He c
Chapter 253: Into the Fire
"Are we really doing this?" James asked hesitantly.The masked men had just left, dragging Jasmine with them.He and Gracia remained hidden in the shadows near the side of the venue, merely watching."What if they killed her?" James added, tension thick in his voice.Gracia rolled her eyes with a scoff. "And so what? Stop worrying about her!""Mom! She’s still my sister!" James snapped. "And you saw how much Dad cares for her!"Gracia turned toward him, utterly appalled, her voice sharp and accusing. "What is wrong with you, James? Isn’t this exactly what you wanted? For them to disappear? Have you forgotten that those two are trying to steal everything from you? Your position, your name, your future! And now you're hesitating?"James opened his mouth but faltered, staring at the spot where Jasmine had been dragged out moments ago.He could still hear her scream his brother’s name."Joaquin!"That scream kept echoing in his ears."They’re still my siblings, Mom," he said more quietly
Chapter 252: The Disruption
Joaquin could only shake his head in disbelief as he walked back toward the venue.James still hadn’t given up.It amazed him how someone could cling so tightly to a crown he hadn't even taken away. Joaquin never came for the Villareal wealth or the position tied to their name.He was here for his mission—For the people he loved and protected.For Serena.So whatever it was that James feared, Joaquin didn’t care.But… if it ever came down to it—If taking that position was the only way to finish what he had started—He wouldn’t hesitate to take it all.He was just about to step through the doors when chaos erupted inside.A woman’s scream cut through the air—“Who are you?! You’re not allowed in here!”Joaquin’s heart lurched. He didn’t waste another second. He ran forward, pushing past the entrance.From across the grand hall, he spotted Jasmine standing frozen, just like the others, as they turned to face the commotion.The security guards were scrambling, guests panicking.And fro
Chapter 251: Brothers and Boundaries
"You should stay at the mansion now, Joaquin. You too, Jasmine," Javier offered, his tone casual but hopeful.The two siblings exchanged a brief glance. The party was still in full swing, though the wave of attention that had swarmed them earlier had finally begun to fade. The constant introductions, questions, and handshakes had slowed down, at least for now.They sat quietly at their table, speaking in hushed tones away from the crowd.“I appreciate the offer, Mr. Villareal,” Joaquin said, keeping his voice measured. “But we already have our own place. A home.”Javier chuckled lightly, though there was a hint of disappointment in his smile. “I know it’s still hard for you. But you can start calling me ‘father,’ Joaquin.&r
