Chapter 563
The three of them had already made up their minds. They were unwilling to bear even a shred of risk, and that was why they were in such a rush to withdraw their shares.Their eyes carried no hint of sympathy. To them, Selena was nothing more than collateral damage. All they cared about was their nine hundred million capital. Once they got it back, Rift Corporation’s fate wouldn’t matter.Even if Selena begged until her voice broke, it was clear—they would not budge.Her chest tightened as she looked at them, panic creeping in despite her efforts to stay composed. Her eyes glistened with tears as her voice trembled. “Grandpa… if you insist on withdrawing now, you’re cornering me. You’re cornering the company. This will cripple everything we’ve worked for.”Xander’s face was carved in stone, devoid of compassion. His tone was cruelly calm. “We don’t care. Think of it this way—after all, it’s only been a few days since we became shareholders. Better for everyone if you just pretend we we
Chapter 562
Selena’s breath caught in her throat. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her grandfather. “What? You were the ones who insisted on becoming shareholders in the first place. Now that the company has suffered losses, you’re refusing to bear them together? And on top of that, you want your entire investment returned in full?”Xander didn’t even blink. His tone was cold, measured, absolute. “Yes. We’ll return the shares to you, and you’ll return the nine hundred million to us. Not a single cent less. That is our decision.”The audacity of his words lit a fire in the room.Vane slammed his palm against the table, his voice seething. “This is outrageous! You’re supposed to be partners, yet the moment trouble comes knocking, you toss the responsibility onto Selena?”Nora’s face was pale, her hands trembling in anger. “Do you even hear yourselves? You’re trampling on her. The accident was a tragedy, but abandoning ship now—while the company bleeds—isn’t just betrayal. It’s sabotag

Xander narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze boring into Selena. “Then tell me—how is it going?”Selena straightened her posture, her voice calm though her chest tightened. “The injured workers are no longer in critical condition. Thanks to Dr. Neon, their lives have been saved. The immediate crisis is under control.”She paused, then continued steadily, “But the work doesn’t stop there. I’ll have to oversee their continued treatment and ensure fair compensation for each family. That’s the next phase, and I planned to bring this to all of you for discussion.”Xander leaned back, his expression darkening with irritation. He waved his hand dismissively. “I don’t care about the details—medical bills, compensation, all that nonsense. None of it matters. What I want to know is simple: how much is Rift Corporation going to bleed this time?”The weight of his words pressed down on the room. Selena’s fingers tightened against her lap as she replied quietly, “After a rough calculation, the loss is
Chapter 560
The public was gobsmacked by Dr. Neon’s decision. News outlets scrambled to report it, and social media erupted into endless debate.Why had the most revered surgeon in the North Army turned down banquet invitations from governors, officials, and tycoons… only to accept a simple meal at Selena Verrick’s home?The question burned through Ironvale City like wildfire.Speculation filled every corner:“Is Jaden Rift secretly connected to the North Army?”“Could he be Dr. Neon’s illegitimate son?”“No, no, I heard Selena and Jaden are secretly married and Dr. Neon is backing them!”The heated discussions only grew louder, painting Jaden and Selena in a mysterious light.Even Lazarus Ortega, confined to the rooftop of Shadowmoor Hospital, found himself rattled. His plans to undermine Jaden had seemed flawless. But this unexpected development shook him to his core.His pale fingers tightened around his cigarette, ash falling unchecked to the floor as his eyes narrowed dangerously.“Find out,
Chapter 559
Jaden’s expression never wavered. His eyes were flat, calm, and merciless as he looked down at the man groveling at his feet.“I’ve already given you a chance,” Jaden said, his voice quiet but cutting like steel. “And you trampled all over it.”Caldo Brigham’s lips quivered, his entire body trembling. “I—I apologize, I’ll apologize right now…” His voice cracked, desperate, but his words carried no weight.Jaden tilted his head, his gaze icy. “Apologize? Didn’t you just demand that I kneel before you and lick your shoes? Where’s that arrogance now? Where’s that pride you flaunted like a crown?”Caldo’s mouth opened, but no sound came out. His shame was suffocating, his tongue paralyzed by terror.Jaden stepped forward, his shadow falling over the broken man. “Be consistent. Keep that bastard attitude you wore so proudly a moment ago. Or is it only strong when you’re bullying the weak? Men like you disgust me.” His voice lowered, carrying the final weight of judgment. “Get lost. Pray yo
Chapter 558
After issuing his orders for the surgery, Rupert Neon adjusted his coat, his expression still composed. But then, his voice dropped lower, his tone hardening until every syllable struck like a hammer.“However…” he said, his words slicing through the tension in the room, “…before I start, I have some cleaning to do.”The sudden shift sent a chill across the hall. His calm authority turned into raw dominance, the kind that made even veteran soldiers straighten as if they had been reprimanded.Caldo Brigham froze. His chest tightened as though an invisible hand had gripped his heart. Rupert Neon’s words fell on him like a thunderbolt.The great doctor turned slowly, deliberately, until his cold gaze locked onto his former student. His eyes held no warmth, no mercy. Only disgust.“Bastard,” Rupert spat, his voice echoing through the hall, “are you even aware of your wrongdoings?”The words cracked like a whip. Caldo’s face drained of blood. His lips trembled as he forced out a pitiful wo
