Tyler's expression turned impatient, his eyes narrowing as he snapped, "You should stop asking me questions and go straight to the point. I have many things to do, and I don't have time for your games."Raven's face remained calm, her voice even. "I am here to help you, Tyler. I mean no harm."Tyler's skepticism was palpable. "You're here to help me, or are you here to tell me how bad Judas is because your relationship went sour with him?" he asked, his tone laced with distrust.Raven's eyes widened, a flicker of surprise crossing her face. "Don't tell me you know I'm working for Judas?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of concern.Tyler's gaze was piercing, his eyes boring into hers. "Yeah, you look very suspicious from the first time I set my eyes on you," he said, his voice firm. "I can spot a spy from a mile away, and you, Raven, are definitely hiding something."Raven's eyes flashed with a hint of defiance, but she quickly composed herself. "I'm not a spy, Tyler," she said,

Raven's eyes welled up with gratitude as she gazed at Adrianna. "Thank you very much, ma. I really appreciate what you just did for me. I never knew you could console me like that." Her voice cracked with emotion, her body still shaking from the earlier sobs. Adrianna's expression was warm and reassuring. "Don't think about him, Raven. It's his loss that he left you. He will soon regret his action, because it's not easy to betray a good woman like you." She spoke with conviction, her words dripping with sincerity. Raven sniffled, her hand instinctively reaching up to wipe away the tears that had begun to fall again. "You can say that again," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Adrianna smiled softly. "Don't worry about the wedding dress, Raven. I will refund your money. Don't worry, I'm going to sell the cloth to someone else." Her tone was gentle, her eyes filled with understanding. Raven's face lit up with a smile, her eyes shining with gratitude. "Thank you very much, ma

Judas's face turned red with rage and pain, his eyes blazing with fury. "You'll regret this, Collins!" he snarled, his voice venomous. "You'll regret crossing me!"Collins's smile was cold and unforgiving. "I'm shaking in my boots, Mr," he sneered. "But I'll never regret protecting Raven from scum like you."Raven's eyes filled with tears, her voice pleading. "Collins, please! Let him go! This isn't worth it!"But Collins's grip only tightened, his eyes never leaving Judas's face. "You can't hurt my bad and expect me to just find my hands and watch. "You deserve more than I did to you."Judas's eyes flashed with anger, his face twisted in a snarl. "You'll pay for this, Collins!" he spat, his voice dripping with malice. "You'll pay for humiliating me!"With a sudden jerk, Collins released Judas's wrist, sending him stumbling backward. Raven rushed to Collins's side, her eyes wide with fear. "Collins, please! Let's just leave! He's not worth it!"Collins's eyes never left Judas's face,

As they drove to the barracks, Tyler's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and strategies. He could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins, his heart pounding in his chest. He was determined to show them all what it meant to cross Tyler, the General.As they arrived at the barracks, Tyler could see the soldiers gathered outside, their faces tense with anticipation. He nodded to Alex, and they got out of the car, walking towards the soldiers."General Tyler has arrived!" Alex shouted, his voice carrying across the courtyard.The soldiers snapped to attention, their eyes fixed on Tyler. He walked towards them, his eyes scanning the crowd, his jaw set in a firm line."Listen up, soldiers!" Tyler barked, his voice echoing off the walls. "We have a situation on our hands. The board of directors thinks they can push me around, threaten me. But I won't be intimidated. I won't be threatened. I built this company from the ground up, and I'll be damned if I let them take it away from me!"

Judas's voice was laced with disbelief and concern, his words tumbling out in a rush. "What! He sacked the shareholders? Can he even manage the company himself? That's a recipe for disaster!"Alex's sigh was heavy, his frustration palpable. "I don't know, Judas. I heard the shareholders got a tip about Tyler embezzling company money. I hope you aren't the one who gave them that fake tip."There was a pause, and for a moment, Alex thought he'd lost the connection. But then Judas's voice came through, laced with a mix of defiance and guilt. "You don't need to ask, Alex. I did it. I thought it would bring him down once and for all."Alex's anger flared, his voice rising. "I told you not to do anything without informing me first! You know how dangerous Tyler is. Now you've played right into his hands!"Judas's response was barely audible, his voice laced with regret. "I have done that before you told me that, Alex. I didn't think it through. I just wanted to take him down."Alex's anger t
