Chapter 434
As soon as the man stepped out of the room and the heavy wooden door closed behind him with a muted thud, the chaos of the Sullivan family’s arguments faded into a dull, distant hum. Their raised voices, sharp accusations, and heated vows blurred together, no longer capable of piercing his thoughts. The corridor outside was quiet, almost oppressively so. Dim wall lamps cast long shadows across the marble floor, and ancient portraits lined the walls—stern faces of ancestors who had built the Sullivan empire through bloodshed, betrayal, and relentless force. Their painted eyes seemed to follow him as he walked, as though silently judging every decision he made.He slowed his steps, then stopped altogether, drawing in a deep breath. The air felt heavy in his lungs. For a brief moment, he closed his eyes, steadying himself, pushing down the storm of anger and calculation churning inside him.This was not a decision to be taken lightly. Yet it had already been made the moment the repo
Chapter 433
Barbara stood in the center of the living room, her posture stiff, her shoulders squared as though she were bracing herself against an invisible storm. The chandelier above cast a warm glow, but it did nothing to soften the tension that filled the space. Her face was pale, drawn tight with resolve, and though she refused to show it, the weight of what she had just revealed pressed heavily on her chest.Around her, the Sullivan family members murmured among themselves. The sound grew louder with every passing second—voices overlapping in disbelief, irritation, mockery, and denial. Some laughed under their breath, convinced Barbara was exaggerating or misled. Others shook their heads sharply, refusing to accept the implications of her words. A few whispered to one another, their confidence wavering as uncertainty crept in.“I am serious,” Barbara said sharply, her voice slicing through the noise like a blade through cloth. She did not raise her voice, yet it carried authority. “I am not

Barbara Sullivan slammed her hand on the polished mahogany table, the sharp crack echoing violently across the expansive living room. The sound cut through the heavy air like a whip, making several people flinch. Her face was flushed deep red with fury, her carefully applied composure shattered, her eyes burning with disbelief, rage, and humiliation. Veins stood out along her neck as she leaned forward, her body rigid with barely restrained anger. “What trash is this man speaking?” she shouted into the phone, her voice trembling with a volatile mix of outrage and wounded pride. “How could someone like Logan possibly overpower them?” Her words spilled out fast and sharp, each one laced with venom. “They were armed, prepared, and skilled! They were supposed to finish the job, and now you’re telling me… what?” Her voice cracked as disbelief tightened her throat. “That Logan… that he… won?” On the other end of the line, the man hesitated. When he finally spoke, his voice was weak, strain
Chapter 431
Meanwhile, in Barbara’s house, the atmosphere was tense yet deceptively busy. The large living room glowed beneath warm crystal chandeliers, their light reflecting off polished marble floors and expensive furniture arranged with deliberate precision. Plush sofas, antique side tables, and carefully chosen artwork suggested elegance and control, yet beneath the surface lay a restless current of anxiety that no amount of luxury could fully conceal. The air felt heavy, charged with expectation, as though the walls themselves were listening. Barbara sat at the head of the room, her posture straight, her expression composed but alert. Around her were several members of the Sullivan family—uncles, cousins, and distant relatives whose faces bore different shades of impatience and ambition. Despite their varying ages and temperaments, they shared one defining trait: a hunger for power and control that bound them together more tightly than blood alone ever could. Their discussion, which had be

The moment the man raised the gun and pointed it directly at Charlotte, time seemed to fracture.Charlotte’s breath caught in her throat. Her mind screamed for her body to move, to run, to do something—anything—but fear rooted her to the spot. The cold, dark opening of the gun barrel felt like it was swallowing the air in the room.Logan saw it.In that instant, every trace of restraint vanished.Before the man could pull the trigger, Logan surged forward with explosive speed. His movement was so fast it blurred—one sharp twist of his body, a precise strike to the man’s wrist, and the gun flew free. Logan caught it mid-motion, spun once, and without hesitation fired.The sound was deafening.The man dropped instantly, his body crumpling to the floor in lifeless stillness.Charlotte screamed, clapping her hands over her mouth. Her knees weakened, and she staggered back, barely staying upright as shock flooded her system. She stared at the fallen man, her heart pounding violently in her
Chapter 429
The men exchanged quick, uncertain glances when Logan calmly told them to do whatever they wanted.They had expected something else entirely—fear, maybe desperation. Pleading, panic, bargaining. Most people faced with armed men in a locked room showed it in their eyes within seconds. Their breathing changed. Their voices cracked. Their bodies shrank.Logan did none of that.His tone had been steady, almost detached, as if the danger standing in front of him was nothing more than an inconvenience. That calm confidence unsettled them far more than shouting ever could.“Did you hear that?” one of them muttered under his breath, shifting his stance. “This guy’s got nerves.”“Don’t let it get to you,” the leader snapped, though his jaw tightened. “He’s bluffing.”Even as he spoke, doubt crept in. It hung in the air, subtle but unmistakable. Logan’s audacity had planted it, and doubt was dangerous in moments like this—especially for men who relied on intimidation to stay in control.Charlot
