Chapter 164: The Trap Tightens
Gregory stared at the phone screen, the words seemingly etched into his mind. They’re coming for you, Gregory. It’s time to make your move. Or lose everything. His fingers tightened around the device, the weight of the message sinking in. His worst fears were being realized; someone, somewhere, was trying to corner him, to break him down before he could ever gain control of his destiny.Lily stood beside him, her gaze fixed on his face. “What is it?” she asked, her voice laced with urgency.Gregory swallowed hard, feeling a cold sweat prickling at his neck. “Someone’s onto us." They’re watching us, and they’re ready to make their move.”Lily’s expression hardened. “We knew this was coming. But this is a new level. Whoever is behind this knows exactly what we’re planning.”The implications of the message were clear. Gregory had known from the start that someone was always lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike. But now, it is no longer just a threat. It was real
Chapter 163: The Enemy Within
The surrounding air grew heavy as Evelyn stepped forward, her eyes locked onto Gregory with a cold intensity that sent a shiver down his spine. She wasn’t here by accident, and the way she stood, arms crossed, made it clear that she wasn’t leaving until she’d said whatever it was she had come to say.Lily instinctively positioned herself slightly in front of Gregory, her stance protective. But Gregory held up a hand, signaling for her to step back. He wasn’t afraid of Evelyn—at least, he didn’t think he was. But something about the way she stood there made him uneasy.“Evelyn,” Gregory said, his voice measured, though the nerves in his stomach were coiling. “What’s going on?" What do you want?”Evelyn didn’t respond right away. She simply studied him with a calculating gaze, almost as if she were deciding whether or not to reveal something—something important.“I don’t think you fully understand the situation,” she finally said, her voice low and silky, the kind of tone that suggested
Chapter 162: The Final Play
Gregory stared at the message on his phone, his fingers frozen over the screen. The words were simple, but their impact was profound. We know what you’re planning. Don’t trust anyone. The clock is ticking.A cold chill ran down his spine, and the room seemed to close in on him. Who sent this message? How did they know about his plans? The implications were clear,someone was watching him, someone was aware of his every move. His hand clenched into a fist as reality set in: he was no longer just playing a game. He was in it, and the stakes had never been higher.Lily, who had been standing by the window, turned sharply at the sound of her breath. “What is it?” she asked, her voice tight with concern.Gregory didn’t answer immediately. He glanced at the door, half-expecting it to open, as if someone were about to step into the room and reveal themselves. But no one came. He looked back at Lily and held up the phone.“Someone knows what we’re planning,” he said, his voice low and steady,
Chapter 161: The Enemy Within
Gregory stood frozen, his eyes locked with Lily’s as the echo of Victor’s voice faded into the halls. The words hung in the air like a warningm a threat veiled in arrogance. His mind raced, each thought bouncing off the walls of his skull. Victor was making it clear: this was war, and it had just begun.Lily moved toward the door, her expression sharp and calculating. "We need to act quickly," she murmured, glancing back at Gregory. "Victor's going to make his move soon, and we can't afford to be caught off guard."Gregory nodded, but his mind was elsewhere. The realization was sinking in that his life, the quiet life he'd known up until now, was over. The luxury of being invisible, of not mattering, had evaporated the moment he learned the truth about his heritage.He was not just some housekeeper. He was the heir to a vast empire, and that came with its own set of rules. The stakes were higher now, and every move would be scrutinized by those who wanted to tear him down.He followed
Chapter 160: The Game of Shadows
The weight of Victor’s words lingered in Gregory’s mind long after he had left the room. Enemies. Hidden agendas. A battle for power that was much larger than he could have ever imagined.Each of those words echoed in his head like a drumbeat, warning him of what was to come.Gregory walked to the window and stared out at the vast city below. The skyline was dotted with towering skyscrapers, symbols of power, wealth, and influence.But here he was, a housekeeper in a mansion, standing on the precipice of something far greater. Could he really handle it? Was he even capable of stepping into the role of heir to a company worth billions?A soft knock on the door broke his thoughts, and before he could answer, Lily entered once more. Her face was pale, her eyes full of concern, but there was something else too, an unspoken urgency.“Gregory, we need to talk,” she said, her voice low and serious.He turned to face her, his heart still heavy with the weight of Victor’s warning. “About what?
Chapter 159: The Unseen Enemy
Gregory sat at the edge of the bed in his small, dimly lit room, his hands gripping the edge of the mattress as if it might hold him together.The decision still weighed heavily on him, the truth that had been revealed so abruptly. His identity. His future. The power that lay before him like an open door, yet it felt like the doorway to a cage.The past few days had been a whirlwind. After the confrontation with Victor and Lily’s unexpected intervention, Gregory hadn’t had much time to think. He had been too preoccupied with the anger brewing inside him, with the tension between his desire for revenge and his yearning for a life without constant conflict.But now, alone in the quiet of his room, he had time to reflect. Time to let the gravity of his situation sink in.Was he really ready to take control of the empire? The very idea terrified him. All his life, he had been treated like an outsider, a nobody. The thought of suddenly being thrust into a role of immense power felt overwhe
