Chapter 308
From the far end of the grand dining table, one of Charlotte’s cousins—Harold Sullivan—rose abruptly, his chair screeching across the marble floor like nails against glass. The movement drew all eyes to him. His face was flushed with indignation, and his tailored suit seemed to strain against the tension in his broad shoulders. He looked every inch the entitled heir of an old-money family, the kind of man who had never once been told “no” in his life.“You think you can just walk out after talking to my aunt that way?” Harold barked, his voice echoing through the cavernous hall.Logan turned slowly, his expression carved from stone. The flickering light from the chandelier above caught the faint outline of his jaw, tense but calm. He didn’t flinch.Charlotte, standing beside him, felt her heartbeat thudding painfully in her chest. She knew that tone from the Sullivans—knew it meant danger.“Come, Charlotte,” Logan said, his voice low but steady. “We’ve wasted enough time here.”He

All eyes were on Logan.He stood tall beside Charlotte. The air seemed frozen in place, thick with disbelief. He had just spoken—clearly and firmly—and his words hung in the hall like an unshakable decree.For a full moment, the room seemed to forget how to breathe. Even the faint clinking of glasses ceased. Joyce's lips parted in quiet disbelief before curling into a faint, poisonous smile.Everyone turned toward Logan in unison with their eyes narrowing with a mixture of confusion and contempt. It wasn’t just the boldness of his statement that unsettled them; it was the sheer audacity that he, an outsider, had dared to speak at all.To them, Logan was nothing more than an inconvenience. The man Charlotte had married against reason and without permission. A man they barely tolerated—if at all.The silence broke when one of the uncles muttered darkly, “What nerve…”Joyce’s expression hardened. “Excuse me?” she said sharply, her voice slicing through the murmurs. “Did I just hear y

“Nothing on this earth,” Charlotte said slowly, “nothing—no amount of money, power, or status—will ever make me do what I do not want to do.”Her words cracked through the room like thunder after a storm.For a long, breathless moment, the air itself seemed frozen. Even the faint clinking of crystal glasses stopped. The grand chandelier above swayed across the stunned faces of the Sullivan family. Joyce’s expression changed at once. The faint, polished smile that had adorned her face vanished, replaced by a cold, rigid mask. Her eyes narrowed slightly, but enough to reveal that her composure had been wounded.Charlotte’s heart thudded painfully in her chest, but she would not let the tremor in her hands betray her resolve. Her shoulders straightened and her chin lifted with quiet pride. She could feel the eyes of every relative on her—eyes filled with disbelief, judgment, or mockery—but she stood her ground.“I will not be bought or coerced by your threats,” she continued, her vo

“...I have the direct ears of the Iron Man himself,” Damien continued confidently, turning toward Joyce and the rest of the Sullivan family as though he were revealing a state secret. His voice carried easily through the elegant dining hall, commanding attention.“Not many people can say that, believe me,” he went on smoothly, his chest swelling with pride. “The projects I’ve secured through him have already made my network untouchable. No competitor even comes close.”A murmur of admiration swept through the Sullivan table. Heads nodded. The glint of opportunity flashed in several eyes. A few of Charlotte’s cousins exchanged hopeful looks, whispering among themselves, already picturing the doors such a connection could open. If Damien Blackwell truly had ties to the Iron Man, their businesses could soar overnight.But while the others sat enthralled, one man seemed entirely unmoved.Logan.He leaned back in his chair, arms loosely crossed, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of

Upon hearing the words, no one moved. The air itself seemed to thicken, heavy with disbelief, pride, and something darker—humiliation. The tension sat like a storm cloud above the chandeliers, waiting to break.Joyce Sullivan stood poised at the center of the hall, her posture straight and her presence commanding. Her emerald gown shimmered beneath the crystal lights.She carried herself like a queen holding court—every movement precise, every glance deliberate. There was no warmth in her expression, no softness in her tone—only judgment, the kind sharpened by years of authority and control.Logan sat beside Charlotte, unmoved and calm, his expression unreadable. He knew what was coming before she even spoke; he had seen that same steel in Joyce’s eyes many times before. The shift in her tone told him enough—her words were about to cut deep, and she would make certain they left scars.Joyce folded her jeweled hands over one another, her voice low but cutting as she began, “Now I se

The moment hung suspended and the air so taut it could have snapped.Damien Blackwell’s gaze fixed on Charlotte as soon as he heard her last word. His sharp eyes finally landed on Logan—plainly dressed, calm, almost indifferent in the sea of fine suits and jewels. The man’s quiet composure seemed to irritate him, though he wouldn’t show it.For a heartbeat, Damien said nothing. Then, with the unhurried precision of someone born to be watched, he adjusted his cufflinks, smoothed the front of his tailored black suit, and began walking toward Charlotte.His polished shoes clicked against the marble floor, each sound echoing through the charged stillness of the Sullivan banquet hall. All eyes in the room followed him. His face remained composed, his chin held high, but his eyes gleamed with something sharper than charm, something that made the crowd’s breath catch.When he stopped directly before Charlotte, the tension was almost unbearable. He gave a faint, practiced smile that didn
