Wilder Verrick’s gaze hardened into ice. His voice came out flat and merciless.“The men are talking. You should shut your mouth.”Nora Verrick bit her tongue, but the fury burning in her eyes was plain for all to see. The veins in her neck stood out, her chest heaved, yet she forced herself silent.Wilder turned back to Vane with the authority of a judge passing sentence. “Vane, answer me. Are you willing to kneel before your father and beg for forgiveness?”The room went quiet. All eyes were fixed on the meek man sitting hunched in his chair.Vane’s lips trembled as he lowered his head further. His voice was faint, broken. “We… we did nothing wrong. And even if I apologized, Dad wouldn’t forgive me.”Wilder sneered, his lip curling. “Then kneel until he does. Three days at the gates of the Verrick mansion should be enough to soften even his heart.”Gasps rippled around the table. Three days of kneeling, out in public, in front of the mansion? That wasn’t repentance—it was humiliatio

Wilder Verrick squinted, his eyes narrowing like a hawk sizing up prey. “There’s a lot of fake wine floating in the markets these days. If your son-in-law brought some home, odds are it wasn’t genuine. He might have been lying—or worse, duped by someone smarter than him.”The words hung heavy, laced with disdain.“I’m not blaming you, Vane,” Wilder went on smoothly, though his voice carried a sting sharper than the finest blade. “You probably couldn’t tell the difference between the real and the counterfeit. After all, you’ve never lived in circles where the real thing is commonplace. Experience matters. Without it, men get fooled.”He leaned back, swirling his glass, letting the rich crimson liquid catch the light. “Now, whether you drink real wine or fake doesn’t concern me. But flaunting it? Boasting as if you’ve shared in a luxury you don’t understand?” His tone hardened. “That, I cannot tolerate.”Each sentence landed like a slap across Vane’s face.Vane’s cheeks flamed bright re

The food arrived within minutes, each dish plated with artistic precision. Every plate was a statement of wealth—delicate cuts of marbled beef, steaming seafood bathed in rare spices, vegetables carved into ornate shapes. The fragrance alone seemed to cling to the air like a promise of luxury.Yet when Wilder Verrick reached for a drink, he ignored the hotel’s wine list entirely. Instead, he set a plain-looking carton on the table and carefully withdrew a slender bottle from within. The label gleamed faintly under the chandelier’s golden light, its seal unmistakable.“I may be just an errand boy at the Grand Council,” Wilder said dryly, his lips curving into a faint smile, “but I’ve had the privilege of enjoying some of the finest wines. My boss receives these in bulk, and once you’ve tasted something of this caliber… well, ordinary wine simply tastes like dishwater in comparison.”The cork popped sharply, and the fragrance of the limited-edition vintage filled the room.Gasps rippled

Selena nodded thoughtfully. “Of course. He’s Grandpa’s younger brother. I heard he’s been working with the Northern Grand Council all these years. Grandpa always spoke highly of him.”Her eyes shifted, curious. “But… he hasn’t visited us in over a decade. He never even stayed in touch.”“That’s right,” Vane Verrick said, his tone heavy. “But you know what? He came back yesterday.”Selena’s eyes widened. “What? Grand Uncle is back?”Vane nodded. “He didn’t waste time either. He confronted your grandfather about kicking us out of the family. He said family should never be divided, that grudges like this would only weaken us.”Selena blinked in surprise. “Grand Uncle actually stood up for you?”“Not just that,” Vane continued. “He called me this morning. Invited us to lunch at two this afternoon. He wants to sit down and talk about the family’s situation.”Nora’s lips pressed into a thin line. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat. “But the Old Master already kicked us out. What’s there
Chapter 456
Fear flashed in T-Rex’s eyes. His stomach twisted as the truth gnawed at him—he had indeed been the one who led Jaden Rift and Morix Sable straight to Lazarus Ortega. But admitting it here would be signing his own death warrant.He swallowed hard, forcing his voice to stay steady. “No… of course not. I’ve always been loyal to the Young Master.”Nemesis Thorne’s lips curled into a faint smirk, his eyes cold and unreadable. “Are you sure about that?”The silence that followed was suffocating. The men holding T-Rex tightened their grips, sensing what was about to come.Before T-Rex could stammer out another excuse, Nemesis moved like lightning. His dagger flashed under the rooftop lights and plunged deep into T-Rex’s abdomen.T-Rex’s body convulsed. His eyes widened in shock, and a guttural cry tore from his throat. “Y-You…!”Nemesis twisted the blade cruelly, grinding it against bone and flesh. His voice dropped into a low snarl. “Loyalty? Don’t insult my intelligence. My being here is
