CHAPTER 164: THE END.
Pearl sat alone in a corner that evening, her expression tense. She couldn’t shake off everything she had overheard the Drake council discussing.Her thoughts kept circling back to one name—Dr. Patrick.She didn’t know who he was, but she felt an unexpected sense of pity… and fear for him. The council wasn’t the type to act gently, especially if it meant getting Martin Luke out of prison.And that worried her.She didn’t want anything to happen to him… but she also didn’t know what she could possibly do.Lost in thought, she barely noticed when Lucian walked past her.“What’s the matter? You seem worried.”Pearl startled at first, but quickly composed herself when she realized it was him.“It’s nothing… I’m always worried,” she muttered.Lucian studied her for a moment. “It’s not good to carry everything alone. If something can be solved, then it’s worth speaking about. Keeping it to yourself only makes it worse. So… how can I help?”She hesitated. “It’s nothing serious. I just… have
CHAPTER 163
Monica was still in shock, unable to believe that the man she was meant to marry was Lucian.She sat on her father’s bed, replaying everything that had happened in the past—until a sudden realization struck her.“So that means…” she looked at the journal again, her grip tightening. “Lucian is somewhere in Z+ City.”The last time she had spoken to him, he only told her he was leaving A+ City. He never said where he was going next.But now she knew.The real problem was finding him.“Lucian Drake…” she whispered.Her brows furrowed.“I’ve heard that name somewhere… ‘Drake’…”Then it clicked.Recently, she had read an old newspaper article about the Drake legacy. It wasn’t recent, but it had contained something useful—An address.The Drake mansion.Even after remembering it, she hesitated. Showing up there unannounced didn’t feel right. What if he rejected her? What if he had changed?She bit her lower lip, conflicted.Should she go now…Or wait until the wedding?Both options felt unbe
CHAPTER 162
“Hands in the air!” a police officer shouted sharply. “You are all under arrest for the murder of hundreds of Z+ City citizens!”Martin’s heart skipped a beat.Everything ended right there for him.Within moments, he was arrested—alongside his fellow doctors.They all protested, raising their voices in outrage, but the police ignored every single complaint.It didn’t matter anymore.Lucian watched everything live from the news.He observed as Martin and his doctors were dragged away by the police.A faint smile appeared on his face.Everything was going according to plan.Phase Two had already been set in motion.He had successfully removed Martin Luke from the picture.Now—Only a few remained.About five of them.The remaining council members.Meanwhile, the council members gathered in a secret room.All of them were present—Except Pearl.As usual, she had never really attended any of their meetings.Seated comfortably in the room were the remaining five members of the council—Th

CHAPTER 161
CHAPTER 161Martin had just closed for the day. He headed home that night. When he got home, he found the door unlocked. "Ugh? how's that possible?" It was very odd since he always left his door locked before heading to the hospital or the drake manor. He pushed the door open and met the TV on. His gaze swept across the room and found someone on his sofa. The moment his eyes scanned who the figure was, he frowned immediately and went straight in and shut the door. "How did you get in!" He approached the woman on his sofa. The woman, just as old as Martin except for her preserved womanly features. Her eyes were focused on the TV screen. "I am talking to you woman! what are you doing in my home!" "You told your daughter to lie to me that you weren't at the hospital the other night." She started. "I knew she was lying because you will always be at that forsaken hospital of yours." "Watch your tongues woman, you have no right to be here, take whatever you brought wit
CHAPTER 160
At Saint Luke Hospital.Lucian had already arrived for his shift.But he had no patients.Which looked good to him.Why?Because he had other plans.Lucian opened the door to his office and walked right in.His eyes scanned the room carefully. He noticed that certain things had been touched.Someone must have been here, Lucian thought.It was very obvious to him because he remembered exactly how everything in the room was before he left the previous day.Before making any move, he remembered the security cameras were watching.He had already managed to prevent Martin from having any form of access to the footage from the previous day.It was quite simple.He had bribed the security guards. He had bought them off Martin’s hands, and now whatever he did would either be deleted before Martin could get it—or worse, it wouldn’t even be recorded at all.Lucian stepped out of his office and into the hallway. He looked around and saw nurses moving up and down. There were doctors too, heading
