Chapter 143: Trapped in the Web
Gregory's mind was reeling as the realization set in. Richard knew. How long had he been planning this? How long had he been anticipating Gregory’s every move? The web of deceit and manipulation Richard had woven was more intricate than Gregory had ever imagined. And now, he was stuck in the center of it, struggling to break free.Clara grabbed his arm, her face pale with worry. “What do we do now?” she whispered urgently, her voice shaky.Gregory glanced around, searching for an exit, an escape route. They were in the back corridors now, the mansion’s labyrinthine layout closing in around them. Every hallway felt like a dead end. Every door they tried to open was either locked or led to more guards. They were running out of time.“We can’t go back,” Gregory said, his voice low but firm. If we go back the way we came, Richard’s men will catch up with us. We need to find another way out.”Clara nodded, though the fear in her eyes was hard to ignore. “But where do we go? We don’t even k

Chapter 142: Into the Lion’s Den
Gregory's feet pounded against the cold marble floors, each step carrying him further from Richard's clutches. The adrenaline surged through his body, blurring the lines between fear and determination. He didn’t know how much longer he could keep this up, but the sight of the exit ahead filled him with a renewed sense of hope.Behind him, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the hallway. They were close, too close. He could hear the growl of Richard’s voice, but he dared not look back. If he stopped, if he slowed down, they would catch him. And that would be the end.Just as he neared the door, a hand shot out from the side, grabbing him by the arm and pulling him into a side room. He barely managed to stifle his yelp of surprise before he was thrown into the darkness of the room.“Shh…” a voice whispered urgently. “Stay quiet.”Gregory’s heart raced, but his mind couldn’t stop spinning. Was it one of Richard’s men? Had they gotten to him already?“Who—who is this?” he whispered har
Chapter 141: The Unwelcome Truth
Gregory stood frozen as Richard Hale stepped into the room, his cold eyes locking onto him with a mixture of disdain and something darker—something calculating. The man who had once been a shadow in Gregory’s life, someone only ever mentioned in hushed tones, was now standing directly in front of him. The realization that his uncle was not just a distant figure, but a player in this deadly game, sent a chill through his bones. Clara was the first to react, her body tensing as she instinctively moved to position herself between Gregory and Richard. The tension in the air was palpable, like the calm before a storm. “Well, well,” Richard’s voice sliced through the silence, smooth and mocking. I must say, Gregory, I’m impressed. You’ve come a long way since I last saw you. But I’m afraid you’ve been looking in the wrong places.” Gregory’s jaw tightened, his mind racing. “What do you want, Richard?” he demanded, his voice steady despite the rush of adrenaline surging through him. “What’
Chapter 140: Beneath the Surface
The drive back to the city was tense, the silence between Gregory and Clara thick with unspoken thoughts. Gregory’s mind was racing, each new revelation spinning him deeper into a web he hadn’t realized was even there. The existence of his uncle Richard, a figure so close to his father yet so hidden, had shaken him. But there was more. The mention of the organization and their connections to Obsidian only served to fuel his growing sense of dread. Every step forward seemed to reveal an even darker truth.Gregory’s fingers drummed on the steering wheel as he navigated the streets, his thoughts consumed by the documents Clara had shown him. Richard Hale was no stranger to the organization. It was clear now that his father’s investigation into him had been more than just a suspicion. His father had been trying to expose Richard, but in doing so, had likely sealed his own fate. Clara broke the silence, her voice calm but urgent. “We need to move fast, Gregory." If Richard is really part
Chapter 139: The Hidden Players
The revelation about the project Obsidian had left Gregory on edge, the weight of his newfound knowledge gnawing at him. His father’s plans to dismantle the very empire that had built their family’s fortune were far beyond what he could have ever imagined. It wasn’t just business it was warfare. And now Gregory was the heir to a legacy of destruction.He sat in his office, the morning light barely filtering through the blinds as he stared at the pile of papers before him. The documents from Ellis had opened a new chapter, but they had also opened a door to danger. Gregory knew he couldn’t trust just anyone. The deeper he dug, the more he understood: there were hidden players in this game, and some of them might be closer than he realized.His phone buzzed, snapping him out of his thoughts. It was an encrypted message from Clara, the one person he had come to trust completely in all this mess. He opened it quickly.Clara: We need to meet. I’ve found something that ties into Obsidian. B
