Chapter 010
Lein arrived at Corholt General Hospital with quick steps.He went straight to the elevator, pressing the button for the fifth floor without stopping. His face was calm, but his eyes were filled with hope—hope to see his mother in better condition.The elevator door opened.Lein stepped out, then walked quickly toward the VIP Presidential Suite.As soon as he reached the door, he stopped for a moment, took a deep breath, then knocked softly."Come in," a gentle voice was heard from inside—a voice he had longed for for five years.Lein opened the door slowly.And there, on the comfortable hospital bed, sat a middle-aged woman with long silver hair tied neatly. Her face was pale but much better than last night. Her eyes—eyes that once were full of warmth—now filled with tears as she saw Lein.Milady Ashford.His mother."Lein..." she whispered in a trembling voice.Lein stood in the doorway, silent.Five years.Five years he hadn't seen his mother's face. Five years he hadn't heard her

Lein stood in the middle of a magnificent ballroom filled with laughter and music. But that festive atmosphere turned into a nightmare in an instant.His father—Thomas Ashford—lay on the cold marble floor. His face was pale, his eyes wide with shock, his hands clutching his chest tightly. Around him, the bodies of loyal Ashford family servants and guards lay lifeless, blood pooling on the floor.Richard Anthony stood above it all, laughing loudly with terrifying satisfaction.Victoria looked at Lein with a gaze full of disgust—a gaze that destroyed his soul deeper than any sword.Lein wanted to move. Wanted to scream. Wanted to save his father.But his body couldn't move.He could only stand there, watching his father slowly die before him, while the Anthony family's laughter thundered throughout the room."FATHER!" Lein screamed desperately.But it was too late.Thomas Ashford's eyes slowly lost their light, his hand fell limply to the floor.And Lein's world... shattered.GASP!Lein

Meanwhile, at the Anthony Mansion.Richard's birthday party had ended. The guests had left one by one, leaving the ballroom still full of empty champagne glasses and plates of leftover food.The servants were busy cleaning the room quickly and neatly.In Richard's private study—a spacious room with tall bookshelves, a large teak desk, and large windows facing the garden—all core members of the Anthony family gathered.Edmund Anthony sat in a luxurious armchair at the end of the room, like an old king watching over his subjects. His face was calm, but his eyes were sharp—looking at everyone with full calculation.Richard stood beside his desk, still wearing the black suit from the party. He held a glass of whiskey, occasionally sipping it casually.Victoria sat on the sofa with graceful posture, her red dress still perfect. Beside her, Charles Whitmore sat with his arm possessively around her shoulder.Margaret Anthony sat in a chair near the fireplace, holding a cup of tea elegantly.

Lein and Lily left the Stellar Properties building, then hailed a passing taxi."Avalon Hill," Lein told the driver.The taxi driver nodded, then started driving.Lily sat beside Lein with hands still trembling. Her eyes stared out the window, but her mind was far away.A villa worth one hundred million dollars.Bought in cash.Without hesitation.Everything felt like a dream.Several minutes passed in silence. Only the sound of the taxi engine was heard softly.Finally, Lily gathered the courage to ask."Brother..." she whispered softly, her voice almost inaudible. "Where... where did you get that much money?"Lein looked at her for a moment, then smiled thinly."Five years is a long time, Lily," he answered in a calm tone. "A lot has happened."Lily frowned. "But... one hundred million dollars, Brother. That's... that's a very large amount."Her voice trembled slightly. "Even Ashford Corp back then never had that much money at one time."Lein looked out the window, his gaze calm but

She brought Lein and Lily to her desk, then opened a tablet and showed them the premium property catalog."This is our list of best properties," Emma said while swiping the screen. "There are several options—penthouses, mansions, and villas."Lein looked at the list quickly, his eyes immediately fixed on one item.Avalon Hill Villa.Location: Avalon Hills—the most exclusive area in Corholt City.Land area: 5,000 square meters.Building: 3 floors, 12 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, infinity pool, private garden, city & mountain views.Price: 100,000,000 dollars.Lein pointed at the screen without hesitation. "This one. I'll take this one."Emma fell silent. Her eyes widened.Lily standing beside him was immediately stunned. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out.One hundred million... dollars?!Emma swallowed. Her hands trembled slightly. "S-Sir... this is our most expensive property. Are you sure?"Lein didn't answer with words.He just pulled something from his pocket—a pitch-black card wit
Chapter 005
Lein stepped out of the Anthony Mansion with calm steps. The large door behind him closed, separating him from the laughter and mockery still faintly heard from inside the ballroom.He stopped for a moment in the front yard, staring at the magnificent mansion that was once his home—the Ashford family home."They're laughing," Lein thought to himself, his face remaining cold. "Good. Let them feel everything is safe, everything is still fine."A thin smile carved on his lips—a smile that didn't reach his eyes."I could destroy them right now. But that's too easy. Too fast."He remembered his mother's pale face, and Lily trembling as she hugged him.For five years they lived like slaves."I'll let them laugh with satisfaction. And when they feel on top of the world... I'll destroy them. Slowly, painfully, until they kneel at Mom and Lily's feet, crying and begging for mercy."Lein walked out of the gate, then hailed a passing taxi."Corholt General Hospital," he said briefly.The taxi dr
