Chapter 295
Hanging up, Harrison leaned back in his chair with a smug curl to his lips, tapping the phone against his palm as if savoring the news.“Director Bobson just confirmed something for me,” he said, voice thick with satisfaction. “Jaden Rift has no one backing him except Morix Sable. And guess what? Sable’s father died just last week. He’s gone back to his hometown for the funeral. He won’t be back for a good while.”Jones’s sharp eyes narrowed, and a slow, dangerous smile spread across his face. “So… Rift’s on his own. No guard dog. No safety net.” He leaned forward, voice dropping to a gleeful murmur. “Perfect. Mr. Hart, looks like you can go all out when you teach those two wretches a lesson.”Harrison chuckled, the sound low and cruel. “Don’t worry, Mr. Morello. I’ll make sure they don’t just regret crossing you… they’ll wish they’d never even heard your name.”Jones’s grin turned feral. “And when you do it, make sure they understand exactly who’s behind it. I want Selena Verrick bro

When Lionel Bobson heard that Harrison Hart was planning to “teach Jaden Rift a lesson,” his face lost all trace of ease. The man rarely let emotion slip in business matters, but this time his jaw set hard, and his voice carried a sharp warning edge.“Harrison,” Lionel said, every word deliberate, “I advise you to think very carefully before taking this course of action. Jaden Rift is not someone you want to provoke.”Harrison had the phone on loudspeaker, the call echoing through the lavish living room where Jones Morello, Elias, Talon, and Elizabeth sat watching him. They all heard Lionel’s words, and for a brief moment, the room seemed to tighten with curiosity.A slow, mocking snort left Harrison. “Director Bobson, are you telling me I shouldn’t touch Jaden Rift? Me—the king of the underground?” His tone was half incredulous, half amused, as though the idea itself was an insult to his reputation.“Yes,” Lionel replied, his voice firm, almost clipped. “I’m telling you to leave him
Chapter 293
That night, Elias, Talon, and Elizabeth made their way to Jones Morello’s estate, each one carrying a gift that screamed money and intent. The air outside his mansion was heavy with the scent of cigar smoke drifting from the open windows, the dim orange light inside painting the walls in shadows.Jones Morello was lounging in his expansive living room, dressed in a loose dark tunic, a tumbler of whiskey in one hand. Across from him sat Harrison Hart, his ever-present companion and muscle, both men hunched over a low table littered with ashtrays and half-finished drinks. They were deep in conversation, voices low and dangerous, plotting the downfall of Jaden Rift and Selena Verrick.When Jones noticed Elias and his family step inside, his eyes narrowed, the warmth in the room dropping a few degrees. His voice was calm, but it carried the edge of a man who didn’t like being interrupted. “Verrick.”Elias motioned to Talon and Elizabeth, who stepped forward and presented the neatly wrappe

Elizabeth’s jaw snapped shut with an audible click, her face tightening like a trap about to spring. The tension in the room was almost physical, thick enough to choke on. No one spoke at first; they were all chewing over the same bitter thought.Aiden broke the silence with a snarl, his voice carrying the heat of pure resentment. “What the hell happened? We were this close to securing the Greyfield Shopping Mall project. Everything was lining up perfectly—and now these bosses are suddenly falling over themselves to invest in her?” His fist came down on the arm of his chair with a dull thud.Silence followed, heavy and suffocating. Eyes darted between one another, but no one seemed eager to be the first to speak again.Finally, Elias leaned forward, his tone slow, deliberate, and cutting. “It’s not hard to figure out if you think about it. Greyfield is a massive project. Once it’s completed, the returns will be astronomical. We know that… and you can be damn sure those businessmen kno

Rolling her eyes, she gave him a look that could cut glass. “You think?”Jaden only lifted a shoulder in that maddening, self-satisfied way. “It’s simple, really. I personally went to see several of them a couple of days ago. Sat in their offices, looked them in the eye, and laid it all out—the numbers, the reach, the returns. Once they’d heard what I had to say, their tune changed fast. After a bit of… careful thought, they decided to put their money on the table. Although”—his lips curved in a sly half-smile—“I’ll admit I didn’t expect Director Bobson and Gordon Kroll to show up.”Selena narrowed her eyes, suspicion flickering like a blade’s edge. “You actually managed to convince them? That’s impossible! The last time I spoke to them, they practically showed me the door. They weren’t interested at all.”Jaden’s chuckle was low, rich, and far too confident for her liking. “That’s because you went at it the wrong way.”She folded her arms, the doubt on her face plain.He leaned forwa

Selena stood rooted to the spot, her gaze sweeping over the line of men in expensive suits, each waiting to sign their names and pour money into her project. The surrealism of the moment hit her hard. She almost questioned if she’d finally lost it and drifted into some too-perfect dream.On the other side of the room, Elias’s composure was hanging by a thread. His jaw clenched so tightly it looked like it might crack, and a vein throbbed visibly at his temple. He wasn’t just angry—he was seconds away from an aneurysm.Selena took a slow, measured breath, willing her heartbeat to steady. When she finally moved, it was with deliberate confidence, heels clicking against the polished floor as she approached the table to oversee the contracts. Her fingers skimmed over each page, her signature neat and firm, sealing the deals one after another.By the time the last pen was set down, she had secured seven hundred million. Just like that, Rift Corporation’s looming financial disaster had evap
