Chapter 40.
In fact, this was exactly what Adam had planned.Early that morning, Adam had communicated with the Alessandro family. A simple request, quickly granted. Kai Shadow would temporarily take charge of all matters concerning Treasure Hospital, an interim director with full authority, reporting directly to the new owners.The bait was set. The trap laid.Adam nodded lightly, his expression calm but his eyes gleaming with cold satisfaction. "Then let's use this chance to take back everything the Black family stole from me. Every dollar. Every cent. With interest."Kai leaned back, crossing his arms. "And Luca? What's the play there?"Adam's face hardened. His voice dropped to something barely above a whisper, soft, terrible, absolute."Luca is finished. When Tracy and Luca stood in front of me and forced that poison down my throat, when they laughed about it afterward, when they spent my money and planned my death, that was the moment I decided. I will never forgive those two. Not now.

"I also have good news."Tracy's eyebrows rose. "Good news?""Very good news." Luca paused, drawing out the moment. "I've already made contact with the current director of Treasure Hospital."Tracy's breath caught. Her heart hammered against her ribs. "You mean—""That's right." Luca's voice swelled with pride. "The top-tier hospital. I've established a direct line to the man who's currently running operations there."Tracy clutched the phone tighter, her earlier fury momentarily forgotten. "Does this mean….Luca, does this mean John's company can get the renovation project?"Luca laughed, a confident, expansive sound. "Consider it almost finalized. The director is very interested in moving forward quickly. He wants to meet with potential contractors as soon as possible.""When?" Tracy demanded. "When can John meet him?""I've already arranged it," Luca said smoothly. "Tonight. At Crystal Hotel. The director will be having dinner there, and I've secured a table nearby. John can pre

Tracy stared at Adam's retreating back, her chest heaving with a mixture of resentment and contempt. Her eyes followed him until he disappeared through the hotel's revolving doors.After all these years, she thought, I know him better than anyone. He's nothing, a lowly commoner with no background, no connections, no power. There's no way he could ever compete with the Max family.Her lips pressed into a thin line. We'll see about that.The crowd dispersed. Soon only the Black family remained, standing amid the wreckage of their dreams like survivors of a shipwreck.Jaxson's face was pale as death, his earlier bluster completely drained. He leaned against a concrete pillar for support, his swollen mouth working silently."When... when did Adam get involved with big shots like that?" he finally managed, his voice cracking. Zara shook her head, still struggling to process what she'd witnessed. Her hand pressed against her bruised cheek as though checking it was real, that all of this w

Adam had no intention of letting the Black family profit from him, but he didn't want the car for himself either; he thought the car was filthy just by association. Magnus reached into his pocket and produced a set of keys, which he extended toward Adam with both hands, a gesture of utmost respect."Mr. Cole, please. Take these."Adam raised an eyebrow."They're the keys to my personal vehicle," Magnus explained. "A brand new luxury sedan, parked in my reserved spot. Consider it a replacement for the inconvenience you've suffered today." He pressed the keys into Adam's palm. "I'll handle all the transfer procedures myself. You need not worry about a thing. The vehicle will be registered in your name by end of day."Before Adam could refuse, Magnus turned sharply and waved his hand at the waiting security guards."Now. Deal with that."What happened next was swift, brutal, and absolute.Four guards approached the Black family's prized sports car, heavy-duty tools in their hands. Crow
