Chapter 569
The Diamond Private Room was filled with drunken laughter, clinking glasses, and Sofia’s shrill giggles. Azul and his crew were lost in their self-indulgence, drowning in expensive liquor and false confidence.Then the door creaked open.A stocky man walked in without a word. His heavy boots thudded against the polished floor as he made his way to the stereo, cutting the music with a single flick of his hand. Silence slammed into the room like a hammer. The next second, he turned on all the lights.The sudden brightness was blinding, harsh, stripping away the comfort of shadows.That man was Morix.Behind him came Jaden Rift, his posture deceptively relaxed, both hands clasped neatly behind his back. His steps were unhurried, his eyes cold and unreadable.The shift in atmosphere was immediate. Azul’s drunken confidence drained in an instant, replaced by confusion and unease. His friends blinked, stunned by the interruption, their laughter dying in their throats.One of them found his
Chapter 568
Inside the Diamond Private Room of The Imperial—the largest and most extravagant suite in the entire establishment—the air was thick with smoke, alcohol, and arrogance.Azul lounged on the velvet sofa, a tall, wiry man in a black leather jacket, his arm draped casually around a woman with heavy makeup and curves meant to distract. Music pulsed through the walls, laughter echoed, and the smell of expensive liquor filled the room.The woman was Sofia, his latest obsession. She leaned into him, her painted lips close to his ear, while his small entourage of hangers-on hooted and hollered, riding on the wave of his sudden fortune.Azul’s grin widened, his chest swelling with pride. Just last night, he had snuck into the Greyfield Mall construction site under Mr. Ortega’s orders. One million paid for sabotage—one million for toppling a crane and causing chaos.He was supposed to have left Ironvale immediately afterward. Lay low. Disappear. But Azul wasn’t a man of patience or discipline. W
Chapter 567
Selena and her parents weren’t sure whether to laugh or shake their heads at the situation. They knew the truth. Jaden’s connection to Dr. Neon wasn’t built on friendship, nor was it a matter of influence. It was because the famed doctor had once lost a bet to Jaden, and the man’s honor forced him to uphold his word.To outsiders, though, it looked like Jaden Rift had ties so deep that even the untouchable Dr. Neon came when he called.Vane grinned broadly, breaking the tension. “Whatever the reason, this is all thanks to you, Jaden.”Nora nodded enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling with pride. “Yes, that’s right! Jaden, you’ve been nothing but our lucky star. Ever since you joined this family, every disaster that looked impossible to resolve… somehow, you turn it around. It’s like fortune itself follows you.”Selena’s lips curved into a faint smile despite her earlier suspicions. Her parents weren’t wrong. Jaden always seemed to be at the heart of these sudden turns of fate. Every ti

After the Verricks stormed off in defeat, Zachary Schulz and the other titans of industry didn’t linger. They exchanged a few polite words, then departed just as swiftly as they had arrived. Within minutes, the house fell silent, leaving only Jaden Rift and his family behind.The room was thick with unease. Selena stood rigid, her arms crossed, her sharp eyes drilling into Jaden. Suspicion burned in her gaze. “Jaden,” she said slowly, her voice laced with doubt, “why is it that one phone call from you brings the most powerful men in Ironvale to my doorstep? Why would magnates who wouldn’t spare us a second glance suddenly fight to pour money into Rift Corporation?”Her words didn’t hang in the air for long. Vane, Nora, and Mia were staring too, their expressions a mix of awe and curiosity. The display of influence earlier had been overwhelming, but now the shock was giving way to questions. Too many questions.Selena wasn’t the only one who found it impossible to believe.The Rift fam

Selena was flabbergasted. Her lips parted but no sound came out at first. Slowly, she turned, her gaze falling on Jaden, who was grinning as though everything was unfolding exactly as he’d planned. The sight made her heart race even faster.She straightened her back and forced herself to face the men who had just entered. Their presence was overwhelming, and she could feel the air in the room shift under the weight of their power. She drew in a steadying breath. “Mr. Schulz, gentlemen… greetings.”Her voice was polite, almost too formal, but she couldn’t help it. Facing men whose combined wealth could shake all of Ironvale made even her, the head of Rift Corporation, visibly nervous. She clasped her hands together as she continued. “My company has been facing some difficulties recently. With my grandfather and uncles liquidating their shares, it’s true we are running into cash flow issues.”Zachary Schulz chuckled warmly, as though her nervousness amused him. “I see. Tell me, Ms. Verr
Chapter 564
Selena’s brows knitted tightly together. She still couldn’t shake her doubts. Her voice was soft but laced with worry. “Are we really going to return the nine hundred million capital to them and take their shares back?”Jaden didn’t even hesitate. His tone was calm, steady, and certain. “Of course. Let them go. It’s their loss, not ours. Why should we be concerned about fools jumping ship?”Selena opened her mouth but faltered, uncertainty clouding her eyes. Jaden caught her hesitation and allowed a small smile to play at the corner of his lips. “Honey, after everything I’ve done for you, do you still not believe in me? If you trust me, then do this—get the lawyer and have him arrange the transfer. Every last one of those 30% shares should be returned to us immediately.”His confidence was unwavering, and it pressed on her heart like a steady hand. Selena bit her lip hard, torn between fear of collapse and trust in Jaden’s resolve. In the end, she chose.She turned to the three Verric
