Chay stared at him.“You helped him cover up the murder of my parents.”Felix gave an indifferent shrug.“I helped prevent an old problem from becoming a new one.”“A problem?”Chay's voice rose.“My parents were human beings!”The words tore through the room.For the first time since John's confession, Chay's composure fractured completely. He surged against the restraints, his chains snapping taut with a violent metallic crash. The cage shuddered, and pain shot through his wrists as the locks held him in place.“Two people died!” he shouted. “A mother and a father! And you reduced them to a problem you needed to manage?”Felix took a cautious step back.John, however, looked delighted.“There he is,” he murmured. “I was beginning to wonder whether you had any feelings at all.”Chay pulled again.The metal groaned.His breathing came in harsh bursts, and for a moment the only thing he could hear was the blood rushing in his ears. He imagined his father's final moments. His mother's

Chay didn’t answer. His mind was filled with burning rage that he couldn’t make himself stop.His wrists burned but he didn’t stop. His shoulders ached from the strain, but he held his gaze on the papers, memorizing the names, the dates and any important information on the paper. When he survives this room… because he was determined to… every word would matter.John noticed Chay’s gaze on the paper.“You're still thinking like an investigator. Even now.” He shook his head in admiration that was more insulting than praise. “You really are your father's son.”He went and took another document from the folder.“The accident was only the beginning. Accidents are investigated. Questions are asked. Reports are written. People become curious, you know.”“So I just arranged for the investigation to end where it needed to end,” he shrugged. Chay stopped.John tapped the entry.“This money ensured that nosy people like you remained silent. That inconsistencies would be dismissed and finally

“Every time he walked into a room, it was as though someone had announced that I was worthless. People could spend an entire evening discussing my achievements, “and the moment Cody arrived, everything changed. Suddenly, I was nobody. Suddenly, there was only Cody,” he mocked. John flung the folder onto a nearby table.“I watched him acquire wealth. I watched him build his reputation. I watched people trust him with their money, their businesses, their futures…” he paused, his voice lowering. “He never even had to ask for their respect! They simply gave it to him!”John’s face had turned red from growing anger. “And the worst part?” John leaned forward, his voice dropping to a furious whisper. “He never understood what he was doing to me. He would pat my shoulder, call me his brother, and tell me I was capable of great things.”John spat out a bitter laugh.“His brother? Do you know how humiliating that was? To be comforted by the very man who made you feel inferior?”Chay's hands
Chapter 174
John Whitney opened the old folder slowly.His eyes traced the pages and in that moment he remained quiet. He simply stood in front of the cage, turning the brittle pages with an almost affectionate care, as though he was revisiting the memories he had treasured for years.Chay watched him from the floor.The chains around his wrists had already made the skin around it sore and red. And his head was still aching from whatever Corey had put in his tea, but the fog was gradually clearing now. He had tested the cage twice since waking up. He had pulled at the restraints, examined the locks, measured the distance between the bars, and searched for weaknesses.But up until now, he has found none.Now, he focused on John.Whatever happened next, he would not waste the opportunity to learn why his parents had died.John suddenly lifted his eyes from the folder.“Do you know what I remember most about your father?”Chay didn't answer.“His laugh.” John smiled faintly. “Cody had this irrita

He waited for a second.Two.Another. But the silence stretched until it became something crueler than an insult.Finally, Chay's eyes fell.Something inside him died in that moment.Chay had faced men who hated him, men who wished for his downfall, men who sought revenge, and men who would have killed him without hesitation. He understood those enemies because clearly, they were his enemies. Their intentions were clear, their motives could be examined, and their actions could be anticipated.But Corey?Corey had been inside his defences for years.And if this was truly betrayal, then Chay had not merely been defeated by an enemy.He had trusted the man who delivered him right into the enemy's hands.John seemed to sense the moment something changed in Chay's expression.“What's the matter?” he taunted. “You suddenly have nothing to say? No brilliant strategy? No threat to tear this place apart?”He moved closer and tapped one of the bars with his knuckles.“Go on, kid. Break out.
Chapter 172
A misunderstanding? Some reason Corey was standing in this room with John Whitney and Felix next to him while Chay laid chained in a cage like a wild animal. Or was this a dream? Chay’s instincts were beginning to accept anything but the truth standing clearly in his face. John noticed the way Chay stayed staring at Corey. He could see the disbelief in his eyes. The hurt. The utter awe. John’s eyes lit with delight and immeasurable joy that he didn’t know when he burst out laughing. It started as a low chuckle, but within seconds it grew into a loud, delighted burst that echoed off the walls in the space“Oh, this is beautiful.”He laughed harder, briefly bending forward before straightening to look at Chay again.He tapped Felix rapidly. “Look look, Felix! Can you see his face? Hahaha Did you see his face, Felix?He couldn’t stop laughing. “Did you see it?” Felix let out a quiet laugh.He himself couldn’t believe that this was happening. Chay Morgan? Helpless in a cage? H
