CHAPTER 90 PART 2
At the BaiShui Group headquarters, Lisa and Vanessa sat in Lisa's expansive corner office, the city lights spread out below them through floor-to-ceiling windows. But neither woman was admiring the view. They were too busy nursing their wounded pride and plotting revenge."I can't believe she had us thrown out," Vanessa said for perhaps the tenth time, her hand unconsciously touching her cheek where the security guard had slapped her. "Physically removed from a hospital like common criminals. Do you know how humiliating that was?""I was there, Vanessa," Lisa said tiredly. "I experienced the exact same humiliation you did."She was sitting at her desk, but she wasn't working. Couldn't work. Her mind kept replaying the scene at the hospital—Alex's cold authority, Mia's protective fury, the way they'd been treated like insignificant nuisances."And then to find out Alex has connections to Jace Chen," Vanessa continued, still spiraling. "Do you know who that man is? What he represents? H
CHAPTER 90 PART 1
The moment Sherry's Mercedes disappeared from view, Victor Rossi's expression transformed from shocked humiliation to cold, calculated rage. His hand still pressed against his burning cheek, he pulled out his phone with his free hand and dialed a number he kept for situations exactly like this.The call connected after two rings."Marcus," Victor said, his voice tight with controlled fury. "I need you to put eyes on someone. Sherry Brown. The actress. I want to know where she goes, who she meets, what she does. Everything. And I want regular reports. Starting tonight."He listened to the response, his jaw clenching tighter."I don't care what it costs," Victor interrupted. "This is priority one. That bitch just made the biggest mistake of her life, and I'm going to make sure she regrets it. Now get me that surveillance, or find someone who can."He ended the call, his hand still shaking—whether from rage or the lingering shock of being slapped, he couldn't tell.You're going to pay fo

"I can prove whatever I need to prove!" Sherry cut him off. "I have witnesses! I have evidence! I have everything I need to destroy you if I choose to! So don't you DARE stand there and act like you have any power over me!"She stepped even closer, her voice dropping to something dangerous and quiet. "I haven't sued you yet because I don't want the media circus, don't want the questions, don't want to relive that night. But if you keep pushing me, if you keep harassing me, I will take you to court. I will make sure everyone knows exactly what kind of man you are. I will end your career so thoroughly that you'll never work in this industry again!"Victor's smug expression finally cracked, replaced by something uglier. "You think you can threaten me? ME? You're just a B-list actress with some talent and a pretty face! I've been in this industry for twenty years! I have connections you can't even imagine! Friends in high places!""And I have my uncle," Sherry said quietly, dangerously. "
CHAPTER 89 PART 2
The voice made both women freeze. It came from behind them, smooth and oily and entirely unwelcome. Sherry's entire body went rigid, her hands clenching into fists at her sides.Maya turned first, positioning herself slightly in front of Sherry in an instinctively protective gesture. And there, standing about ten feet away with a smug smile on his face, was Victor Rossi.Victor Rossi. Producer. Director. And the man who'd tried to drug Sherry at that party months ago—the same party where she'd ended up in Alex's hotel room, though Victor didn't know that part of the story.He was in his late forties, expensively dressed in a tailored suit that probably cost more than Maya's monthly salary. His dark hair was slicked back, his smile showing too many teeth, his eyes moving over Sherry in a way that made her skin crawl."Mr. Rossi," Maya said coldly, "Miss Brown has no interest in speaking with you. Please step aside."Sherry had already moved past Maya, heading for her car door, clearly
CHAPTER 89 PART 1
The sun was setting over the city, painting the sky in shades of orange and purple as dusk began to settle. The film studio's parking lot was mostly empty now, the day's shooting having wrapped up hours ago for most productions. But for Sherry Brown, one of the city's rising stars, the workday had just ended.She emerged from the studio building looking exhausted but polished, her makeup still perfect despite twelve hours on set, her designer outfit somehow managing to look fresh despite the grueling schedule. Her assistant, Maya Chen, walked beside her carrying Sherry's bag and several scripts that needed review for upcoming projects."Finally," Sherry sighed, stretching her shoulders as they walked toward where her car was parked. "I thought that last scene would never end. Director Chen must have made us do twenty takes.""Twenty-three," Maya corrected with a small smile. "But it looked perfect by the end. You were amazing, as always."Sherry waved off the compliment, though a plea
CHAPTER 88 PART 2
Alex was quiet for a moment, his mind working through possibilities, through the resources he now had access to, through what he could actually do with the power he'd been given.Then he looked at Jenkins and Peter, a question forming. "What if you didn't need Morrison's organization? What if you had your own?"Jenkins and Peter both blinked, the question so unexpected it took them a moment to process it."Our own?" Peter repeated, his voice uncertain. "Our own what?""Your own firefighter organization," Alex clarified. "Independent from Morrison, independent from the politics and corruption of the existing system. A station that operates the way emergency services should—focused on saving lives, not on power games and ego."Jenkins stared at Alex like he'd suggested they fly to the moon. "Alex, that's... that's not possible. You can't just start a fire station. The permits alone would take years. The funding requirements, the training standards, the equipment costs—we're talking mill
