Chapter 114
The morning sun had barely risen over the capital when millions of mobile screens lit up with screaming red headlines.By six o'clock, every major gossip site, social media platform, and tabloid blog was flooded with vicious attacks against Chloe Bennett.THE GOLDEN FRAUD: DID CHLOE BENNETT BUY HER BEST ACTRESS TROPHY?Another malicious headline flashed across the morning feeds: AETHER ENTERTAINMENT UNDER FIRE FOR EXTORTION AND STOLEN SCRIPTS.Thousands of fake accounts and paid internet bots pushed the slanderous articles to the top of every trending list within minutes.Anonymous writers claimed that Chloe had used dark money and backroom threats to steal the spotlight from older, more deserving actresses.Cruel rumors spread like wildfire, claiming her upcoming international movie was financed through dirty offshore scams.Angry comments poured in from misled fans, demanding that the national film academy strip Chloe of her Golden Phoenix award immediately.Inside the glass lobby o

While the rain poured over the city, the basement lounge of the Black Velvet Club remained buried in thick, red shadows.Heavy smoke hung in the air, smelling of stale liquor and cold metal.Sitting in a deep leather booth in the corner, Harrison Thorfield gripped a half-empty glass with trembling fingers.His tailored gray suit was wrinkled and stained with coffee, and his bloodshot eyes darted nervously around the empty room.Only twenty-four hours ago, he was the proud young prince of the capital’s wealthy elite.Now, with federal marshals sniffing around his bank accounts and Gault Pharmaceutics in flames, he was running out of time.Across the low glass table sat a quiet, imposing man wearing a black trench coat.A jagged white scar ran down the man’s right cheek, cutting straight through his thin lips.This was Hector Malo, a ruthless underworld financier who moved money for the Black Lotus Syndicate."You look awful, young master Thorfield," Hector said with a slow, raspy chuck

The midnight rain beat softly against the dark windows of the capital apartment, leaving trails of cold water on the glass.Ethan stepped into his quiet study, closing the heavy wooden door behind him without making a single sound.The room was completely dark and still, exactly as he had left it hours ago before driving to the community garden.Yet, as Ethan walked toward the desk, a faint draft of freezing air touched his skin, making the hairs on his neck stand up.He stopped in the center of the room, his dark eyes instantly locking onto the tall glass window overlooking the rainy street.A thin, unnatural layer of white frost covered the center of the glass, defying the warm heating of the apartment.Written cleanly into the frozen condensation was a pattern of sharp, chemical symbols and tiny numbers.Ethan stepped closer, his breath catching in his throat as the pale streetlights illuminated the markings.It was not random graffiti or a street gang tag; it was an intricate medi

The crystal champagne glass slipped from Victor Gault’s hand, shattering into a hundred sharp pieces across the polished floor.The wailing sirens outside his window grew louder and louder, rattling the thick glass walls of the penthouse office.The heavy double doors flew open with a loud bang, and his private secretary stumbled inside, her face white as chalk."Mr. Gault! Run!" Nora shrieked in terror, dropping a stack of legal papers. "Federal marshals are in the lobby! They cut the power to our servers!"Victor grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking her with wild, bulging eyes. "What did you say?! Who let them into my building?!""The Department of Justice issued emergency arrest warrants!" Nora wept, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Every single bank account in the company is frozen! We have zero dollars left!"Victor let out an animal roar of pure, blinding fury, throwing Nora back against the sofa.He charged toward his massive mahogany desk, his arms sweeping across the smooth

Inside the cold, bare interrogation room, Elder Alistair Moros broke the red wax seal with trembling fingers.He pulled out the folded note, his old eyes reading the sharp, arrogant handwriting inside.'Admit that Ethan Vance is a fraud,' the note read. 'Sign over his formulas to Gault Pharmaceutics, and you will walk out of this cell a free man.'Elder Moros crumpled the paper in his fist, his face turning red with fury. "Victor Gault is a filthy dog!"Across the iron table, the state investigator, Paul Harris, nervously adjusted his wire glasses and wiped sweat from his forehead."Elder Moros, please be reasonable," Investigator Harris pleaded in a low voice. "Victor Gault has the entire provincial trade council in his pocket. If you do not sign, they will destroy your reputation by noon.""I will rot in this dirt before I betray Ethan Vance!" Moros roared, slamming his heavy fist against the cold iron table.Before Investigator Harris could speak another word, the heavy lock on the
Chapter 109
The morning sun had barely touched the frosted glass of Oakhaven General Hospital when three black vans screeched to a halt outside the main doors.Inside the quiet charity wing, Mother Martha was gently adjusting the pillow of an elderly woman, humming a soft tune as she poured warm herbal tea into a cup.The quiet peace of the hospital was suddenly shattered by the loud, heavy stomping of boots marching down the tiled hallway.A dozen state health inspectors in dark blue coats stormed through the double doors, pushing nurses aside and flashing gold badges."Step away from the medicine carts!" a tall, sharp-faced man barked loudly, waving a clipboard in the air.This was Chief Inspector Donald Kray, a corrupt official who owed his entire career to Victor Gault."What is the meaning of this?!" the head nurse cried out in fear, clutching a clipboard to her chest. "These patients need their morning treatments!""This hospital is officially under emergency state audit," Inspector Kray de
