The door slammed behind Victor, leaving an oppressive silence in the wake of his exit. Gregory stood motionless, his eyes fixed on the spot where Victor had just been standing.

His mind was reeling from the confrontation, his heart racing with the implications of what had just transpired. He had pushed the truth too far, too fast. But it was out now, and there was no going back.

Lily remained frozen beside him, her expression a mix of fear and disbelief. She was still digesting the words Gregory had spoken, and Gregory couldn’t blame her.

He had just thrown the entire family’s fragile power structure into turmoil by hinting at something far greater than any of them had bargained for. It was no longer just a matter of protecting the truth, it was about surviving the fallout that would come from it.

“You shouldn’t have said that, Gregory,” Lily finally whispered, her voice strained. “Victor is dangerous." You’ve just made him your enemy.“I didn’t have a choice,” Gregory replied, his voi

Whoever is behind all this, they’re already making their move. We’ve been played.”Lily’s face hardened with determination. “We can’t let them win. We need to act, and fast.”Gregory nodded, but a flicker of doubt remained in his mind. Who had set the trap, and how did they know so much about him? He had spent so long focusing on Victor, on E

  • 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

    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,

    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.
