Chapter 106
That morning, the Carter family residence appeared calm from the outside. The grand building, with its meticulously kept garden, stood gracefully, as though time itself moved more slowly around it.Tyson arrived right on schedule.The moment he stepped past the gate, Elias was already waiting on the front porch. There was none of his usual relaxed smile, only a brief nod and a restrained expression, controlled yet clearly alert.“You came,” Elias said as he shook Tyson’s hand.“As promised,” Tyson replied flatly.They exchanged the necessary pleasantries, about the journey, about the weather, empty, harmless sentences that would sound safe should there be other ears listening. A servant served tea, then quietly disappeared back into the house.Elias did not waste time.“Let’s go upstairs,” he said, turning around. “There’s something I want to show you. We should talk as well.”Tyson followed without asking questions. Their footsteps echoed softly as they ascended the main staircase, t

Dim lights reflected off the dark wood-paneled walls, casting slow-moving shadows throughout the private club.Music flowed softly, enough to drown out other conversations, but never demanding attention. The air was thick with the scent of expensive alcohol.Elias lounged against the leather sofa, a crystal glass in one hand. The red wine inside shimmered as he swirled it, then drank too quickly for someone trying to think clearly. It was already his third glass, maybe the fourth. He wasn’t sure anymore, and honestly, he didn’t care.“Everyone’s waiting,” he said at last, his voice lower than usual, slightly hoarse.“Waiting for me to make a mistake. Then kick me while I’m down.”He let out a short, humorless laugh and took another swallow.Across from him, Tyson sat in a relaxed posture. His back rested against the sofa, one arm draped over the backrest, his expression flat. From the outside, he looked completely unaffected by the atmosphere, as if the club were nothing more than a

The moment the file reached his hands, Elias did not delay for even a second.He closed his office door, silenced his notifications, and went through the documents one by one, his expression tightening with every page.Each sheet felt like a thin layer being peeled away from something he had been deliberately trying not to see. Signatures. Dates. Decision paths woven together with unsettling neatness. In hindsight, it was far too orderly to be dismissed as coincidence.When he finished, Elias rose at once.He sought out several of his father’s trusted confidants, long-standing figures loyal to the Carter name itself, not to positions or temporary interests. They gathered in a small, rarely used room, far from the main flow of the office and from unwanted ears.The discussion was brief but dense. No raised voices. No excess emotion. Only exchanged looks, a few sharp questions, and decisions made behind grim expressions.By the time they dispersed, each leaving with their own assignment

Tyson left the Carter family’s corporate building without haste. The glass doors closed behind him, briefly catching his reflection before dissolving back into the city’s busy flow. As soon as his shoes touched the sidewalk, he took out his phone.Tyson: What do you want for dinner tonight? I can pick it up on the way back to the office.Anna’s reply came quickly, almost without pause, followed by a long string of messages. A list of menu items scrolled across the screen, names that sounded familiar, dishes currently trending online, places with long queues and photos that kept resurfacing on everyone’s feed.Tyson skimmed through them, then typed a single word in response.Tyson: Okay.He slipped the phone back into his pocket and headed toward one of the restaurants Anna had mentioned. Inside, he placed his order with minimal conversation, waiting patiently despite the crowd pressing in around him.A few people glanced his way, some because of the line, others because he looked unfa

Victor stepped inside with steady strides, the door closing behind him with a soft yet decisive sound. He wore a neatly tailored dark suit, his hair slicked back without a single strand out of place. An air of authority clung to him, the kind of presence that made a room feel instantly smaller.“Uncle Victor,” Elias rose halfway from his chair on instinct. The address slipped out naturally, making their closeness clear without needing further explanation.Victor gave a brief nod in response. His gaze swept the room, passing over the bookshelves, Elias’s desk, the stacks of documents in the corner, as if assessing whether anything had changed since his last visit. Then his eyes stopped.On the sofa near the window, Tyson sat in a relaxed posture, one leg crossed over the other, a thin folder placed neatly beside him. His expression was calm, too calm for someone who was clearly not part of the company’s official executive structure.Victor’s brow lifted, almost imperceptibly.“What bri
Chapter 101
Tyson stepped into the lobby of the Carter family’s company with his usual calm stride. The receptionist, who had received a message from Elias earlier, immediately stood to greet him politely, just before a young assistant approached Tyson.“Mr. Tyson, Mr. Elias asked me to fetch you directly,” the assistant said quickly, a little nervous.Tyson only nodded, his expression flat as he replied, “Alright.”Several pairs of eyes around the lobby subtly glanced in their direction. No one dared to show open curiosity, but hushed whispers had already begun to spread.Tyson’s face and presence were like a transparent stranger in this country, no one knew who he was or what his status might be. To them, he was an outsider, someone not belonging to any prominent family.Yet he was being personally escorted by Elias Carter’s assistant? That alone was enough to make certain individuals in the company’s elite circle, who heard about the incident through their own people, frown and reassess who th
