Sophia still couldn’t quite believe it.Their properties were back. Every single one of them—retrieved, reclaimed, pulled out of the bank’s grip as if they had never been taken at all.It had been proven that her father’s sale of their assets was invalid. Legally, everything had always belonged to her grandfather. The contracts were void. The damage, at least on paper, had been undone.“Everything is settled now, Ms. Carson,” Jessa reported as they walked through the grand halls of the Carson Building toward Sophia’s office.“The factories are fully operational again. Even the construction of the Smart District has resumed.”Sophia finally allowed herself to breathe.After everything that had happened, she had truly believed she’d lost it all—her family’s legacy, her future, her footing in a world that had nearly crushed her.But the law had moved swiftly this time.Eric Light was now behind bars.The N

Everything happened too fast.Eric Light was powerless when the Senate finally delivered its verdict.He was impeached.Stripped of his position.He tried to fight back. He clung to the hope that his allies would step in, that the people he had protected—and threatened—for years would come to his aid.But no one came.He was removed from office and now faced multiple charges, stacked one after another like a slow, deliberate execution.“T-This… this is insane!” Eric shouted furiously.“How can this be happening?!”He was already inside a temporary holding facility, the place where he had been confined while awaiting formal proceedings.Amanda sat across from him, trembling, tears slipping down her cheeks. She knew what her husband had done over the years—but she had never imagined it would end like this.“D-Don’t worry, honey,” she said weakly.“Your children and I—we’ll visit you every day—”“Bullshit!” Eric snapped, cutting her off.“What do you think I am now? A criminal?!”He slam

By the next day, the entire country was drowning in noise.Crowds flooded the streets, protests erupting in every major city.No one had expected the news that exploded across television screens nationwide.Breaking News: Vice-President Eric Light faces impeachment trial for allegedly stealing fifteen billion in taxpayer money.Opinions clashed violently.Some believed it instantly. Others refused to accept it, clinging to the image they had always known.Eric Light was famous for his charity work. He was approachable, generous to the poor, a benefactor of countless youth scholars. To many, the idea that he was corrupt—let alone evil—was impossible.“This is insane!” Eric roared inside his office.“How did this even happen?!”His secretary swallowed hard.“Someone formally filed the case, Sir. It was Senator Alvarez. Others supported it after reviewing the strength of the evidence.”Eric laughed—a sharp, incredulous sound.“So that’s it?” he said, shaking his head.“They’re just throw

Carl knew.He could feel it.Sophia was carrying something heavy—something she couldn’t bring herself to tell him. And whatever the reason was, it was weighing her down more than she wanted to admit.They arrived at the Bright Hotel together, where Sophia and her family were temporarily staying. They still couldn’t return to their home.But unbeknownst to Sophia, Carl had already begun making his move.He wouldn’t allow everything to be taken from her. Not now. Not ever.“What did you two talk about, Sophia?” Carl asked gently.Sophia kept walking until she reached the sofa. She sat down quietly, her shoulders slumping as if the strength had drained from her.Carl followed and sat across from her.“Sophia,” he called softly.She let out a long sigh.“I already told you,” she said.“I didn’t get to talk to him because he wasn’t there. It was only Mrs. Light.”Carl held her gaze, searching for cracks in the story.And there were plenty.But he didn’t call her out.Not yet.Because whate

Sophia didn’t know what to feel about the price her former father-in-law was demanding.“C-Carl?” Her voice trembled. “What do you want from him?”“Eric, please,” Amanda pleaded.She knew exactly what her husband was planning. Whatever he intended to do to Carl, it wouldn’t be simple—and it certainly wouldn’t be merciful.“It’s none of your business,” Eric snapped.“If you want everything returned to you, then you will give me Carl Donovan.”Sophia shot to her feet.“Carl didn’t do it!” she cried.“He didn’t kill Richard. He even tried to convince him to surrender! How many times do I have to explain this to you?”But Eric seemed deaf to every word.He stood as well, his eyes cold as he faced her.“You should choose now, Ms. Carson,” he said sharply.“Him… or your family. That’s the price you pay for making my son suffer.”With that, he turned and walked out of the room.Sophia’s mouth fell open.The door closed with a final, heavy thud.For a moment, she couldn’t move.Her heart poun
Chapter 189
Sophia’s grip tightened around the steering wheel as she stared at the mansion looming in front of her.Her car had been parked there for a while now. So had her doubts. She had been sitting there, weighing her options, wondering if she truly had the courage to go through with what she was about to do.This was the mansion she had sworn never to return to—not even in her dreams.“I need to do this,” Sophia whispered.If she wanted to take everything back, she had no choice but to face them.She needed to face Eric Light again. To confront him. Once more.“I can do this,” she told herself, forcing strength into her voice.She started the engine. When she reached the gate, a guard immediately stepped in front of her car. But the moment he recognized who was driving, he quickly signaled the others to open the gate.The drive along the driveway felt endless.Still, Sophia refused to give in to the anxiety twisting inside her chest.She was forced to stop briefly when her phone rang. Frown
