A week had passed, and the grand hall of the Diamond Home Hotel was absolutely packed. Some of the city's top businessmen were all there, and not just for a regular meet-up, but for a big event. They were there for one thing: the epic showdown between Charles and Ethan. Charles had personally invited everyone, ensuring that it was going to be a huge spectacle, something no one would forget. His plan? To show off how the Bennett family was about to embarrass themselves in front of the whole city. This wasn’t just about business—it was personal.Naturally, most of the businessmen couldn’t wait to attend. After all, Charles was one of the top names in town. This event was a chance to see if the rumors about him were true—that he was as powerful, successful, and untouchable as the articles claimed.The buzz in the room was palpable, a swarm of whispers and gossip.

The screen disappeared, and Charles went back to his morning routine, his mind already running through ways to spend the money.After dressing, his chauffeur drove him to Benn

The cold evening air filled Charles’s home as he and Alison sat together, tending to his wounds. The events at the private jet and the tense confrontation at the hotel had left him bruised, both physically and emotionally, but his resolve was stronger than ever. Ice packs and pain medications were quickly applied as they discussed their next move. The silence between them was thick, and it felt like the calm before the storm.Charles, still recovering from the harsh blows earlier in the day, stared out the window. His thoughts were heavy with the weight of the situation. His mind kept replaying the words of the governor, Lawrence, who had been nothing but cruel. The idea that Lawrence would go to such lengths to bring him down was maddening. But Charles wouldn’t back down. Not now.Alison looked at him, concern etched on her face. “Are you sure about this? This could get worse. Lawrence won’t let you get away with it so easily.”Charles met her gaze, his jaw set in determination. “I d
