2025-05-14 15:51:34“What I do is none of your business,” Logan said coldly.
He didn’t like this woman. Ava had always treated him like dirt. Just as he walked past her, hoping to avoid another pointless confrontation, Ava stepped forward, blocking his way. “Piss off, won’t you?” she mocked. “You think someone like you can get inside Rhine Group? I know Charlotte’s trying to secure a partnership with them, but ALAS — Mr Hayes already promised that deal to me.” “And when I take it, Charlotte’s days as CEO at Elysian Bloom will be numbered.” "Watch your wife’s empire crumble from the sidelines, you peasant!" Logan stared at her, his eyes cold and motionless. “You know what? You’re a perfect illustration of a rotten brain with wild dreams.” The third branch of the Sullivan family had always looked down on Charlotte and him. There was no warmth between kin—only cold, calculating greediness. “Fuck off!” Feeling unease under Logan’s cold gaze, Ava took a big step back and snapped。 “You damn bum. Useless trash who sells his own blood just to make ends meet.” Logan’s eyes glinted. Then he chuckled. “So what if I sold blood? At least I’m healthy and worked my way through college on my own.” “And you, Ava? Barely scraped through high school—didn’t you sleep with your teacher fortnight for a diploma?” “Someone who sells her entire body and soul has no right to mock me. You’re not even qualified, you know?” “You—!” Ava’s face turned pale. That incident was her biggest shame. “Oh, did I hit a nerve? At least, I’m clever and a top graduate. You? You’re barely literate. Calling me trash just proves you’re worth even less.” Logan took a step forward with every sentence, forcing Ava back until she stumbled against the wall next to the elevator. Ava’s face turned a deep shade of purple with rage—she was so furious, she couldn’t get a single word out. Logan let out a cold laugh. Well, consider this a little interest payment—just a taste of revenge. Ava had always gone out of her way to humiliate his wife Charlotte and their daughter Chloe, and every time she saw him, she never missed a chance to mock him. Just then, the elevator doors slid open—and Ava was pushed by a hurried passersby. Caught off guard, she stumbled and fell to the floor, legs splayed, her sexy transparent pants revealing far too much. Just then, a young man walked out of the elevator, his face swollen like a pig’s head. The moment he caught sight of Ava’s exposed pants, his eyes lit up, his swollen face contorted in a mix of surprise and desire. "Nice... and juicy," he muttered, eyeing her intently and licking his lips. It was none other than Liam. Despite losing all his assets, Liam still clung to his title as Chief Operation Officer. So even now, with his disfigured face, he carried himself like a man of power. “Mr. Hayes!” Ava gasped, scrambling to her feet, embarrassed and enraged, trying to cover herself. “What happened to your face?!” But Liam ignored her. His eyes narrowed as he spotted Logan. He assumed Logan had come to beg for his forgiveness and support from Rhine Corporation, desperate to save his wife's company from collapsing. “Look who is here, Logan the bastard son-in-law!” Liam snapped. “If it’s about the deal, tell Charlotte to come to my house tonight. I might throw in another project for her.” Logan’s jaw tightened, his disgust growing. “Fuck off before I change my mind,” he said coldly. He really didn’t want to dirty his hands.

Chapter 573
The room pulsed with a charged energy as the leader’s words settled into the minds of every Night Viper present. Each woman understood the weight of the assignment. Logan Brooks was not just any target—he was the Iron Hand, a man who had crushed every challenge, outwitted every enemy, and survived the impossible. And yet, now he had become their shared focus, a puzzle that required total coordination, precision, and ruthlessness.Sophia straightened her spine, feeling the familiar heat of determination rise in her chest. She glanced at Ava, whose eyes mirrored her own—sharp, calculating, and dangerously ambitious. The two of them were aligned in purpose, bound by the shared desire to see Logan defeated and the Collins heritage reclaimed. But Sophia knew better than to underestimate the man they were after. This wasn’t a simple physical conquest; it would require strategy, intelligence, and subtle manipulation. Logan wasn’t someone who could be crushed with brute force alone.The leade

The moment the call ended, a heavy silence settled over the Night Vipers’ meeting hall. It wasn’t the kind of silence that felt peaceful or natural—it was thick, almost suffocating, pressing down on everyone present. The faint, steady hum of the air conditioning was the only sound that lingered, low and constant, as though even the room itself had paused, waiting for the leader to speak and break the tension that had taken hold.She placed her phone gently on the polished table, the soft contact barely audible, yet it seemed to echo in the stillness. Her expression remained calm, composed as always, but there was a sharp edge beneath that composure, something cold and calculating that hinted at her dissatisfaction. Around her, every single woman leaned forward just slightly, their attention fully captured, anticipation written clearly across their faces.They wanted answers.They needed confirmation.Was Logan Brooks dead?Sophia sat upright, her posture rigid, her fingers clasped tig

The line rang.Once.Twice.Each sharp tone echoed faintly through the silent room, stretching the tension tighter with every passing second. No one moved. No one spoke. The atmosphere had shifted completely from earlier confidence to something far more fragile, suspended between anticipation and uncertainty.Then—Click.The call connected.“Hello…” a voice answered from the other end, low and cautious, as if the speaker already sensed the weight behind the call.The moment the leader heard it, she didn’t waste time on pleasantries or formalities. Her posture remained straight, her expression composed, her voice steady and authoritative.“This is the Night Vipers,” she said firmly. “I want a direct report on the operation you were assigned. Is Logan Brooks dead?”The question cut cleanly through the silence, direct and uncompromising.The room fell completely still.Every single woman leaned in slightly, their attention fixed entirely on the phone, their expressions sharpened with fo

Sophia sat upright in her seat, her posture poised and composed, her face glowing with unmistakable satisfaction. There was a quiet pride in the way she held herself, the kind that came from believing that a long-awaited victory was finally within reach. Beside her, Ava leaned back slightly, her body relaxed but her expression sharp, her lips curled into a knowing smirk that hinted at her confidence in the outcome of their actions. The cheers that had erupted moments earlier still lingered faintly in the room, echoing in the high ceilings and blending with the soft clinking of glasses and murmured conversations.“You’ve done well,” one of the women said, raising her glass slightly in their direction, her tone filled with approval.“Very well,” another added, nodding with a satisfied smile.Sophia inclined her head gracefully, acknowledging the praise with measured elegance. “Thank you,” she said, her voice steady, though there was no mistaking the pride beneath it. “We truly appreciat

A sharp gasp escaped Charlotte's lips before she could stop herself.Fear gripped her instantly.Her hands trembled as she clutched the edge of the bed, her breathing becoming shallow. She had never seen anything like this before. The sheer number of them, their presence alone, was enough to make anyone freeze in terror.But then—Her gaze shifted to Logan.He was standing there, calm.Unshaken.Untouched.As if this was nothing more than a minor disturbance.Charlotte’s fear didn’t vanish, but it shifted. If Logan wasn’t panicking… then maybe—just maybe—they would be alright.Still, her instincts screamed at her to stay out of harm’s way.Quietly, carefully, she slipped off the bed. Her movements were slow, cautious, almost invisible. Step by step, she backed away, her eyes still fixed on the men, until she reached the far corner of the room.The curtains.Without hesitation, she moved behind them, pressing her back against the wall. The fabric partially concealed her, offering a thi

Logan tilted his head slightly.“Then speak,” he said sharply. “I am losing my patience.”The authority in his voice rippled outward like a shockwave, striking every man in the room with renewed fear. It was not just what he said, but how he said it—controlled, deliberate, and utterly devoid of doubt. The men exchanged quick, uneasy glances, their eyes darting from one another as if silently arguing over who should take the risk of speaking first. No one wanted to be the one to say the wrong thing, yet none dared remain silent.Finally, one of them, a slightly younger man with a fresh cut on his lip and fear etched deeply into his expression, pushed himself forward. His movements were hesitant, his body trembling slightly as he shifted his weight, every motion betraying the pain he was trying to ignore.“I’ll… I’ll talk,” he said, raising his trembling hand just slightly, as though asking for permission even in his desperation.Logan’s gaze locked onto him immediately, sharp and unyie
