Although Drake had been making much effort to marry Racheal. But she kept turning him down, she only used him to kick Adam out of her life, he was only a stepping stone for her plans. After using him to achieve what she wanted she pushed him aside.
"If you say so darling. So have you heard about the Bulgart Industry?" Monica asked, taking a sip from her drink. "Who hasn't? It's all over the news. Sadly it's beyond our reach." "What do you mean? Aren't you going to apply for a deal?" Racheal rubbed her temple softly, "Mother, Bulgart is the biggest industry in the world, what makes you think they'll look at our little company." "Well, anything is possible." Monica waved her hands. Just then Racheal's phone rang. It was Mr. Luther. "Hello Dad." "Have you heard the news dear?" Mr. Luther's voice was in haste. "What news?" "Bulgart Industry just launched in Almond City today, and Mr. White had already bagged a partnership with them as the company's Contract Manager." "What? You serious Dad?" Racheal's eyes widened. "Yes I am, if Mr. White is the contract manager, it means the CEO of Bulgart Industry won't be handling the contracts himself, but Mr. White would. You need to go there immediately. I heard there's just three slots." "I'll be right there." Racheal said and hung up the call. Monica overheard the conversation, her body was swelling with anticipation. "That's good news Racheal, go and try your luck. I'm sure you'll be lucky." "Thanks mum. See you later." Racheal dashed out of the office immediately. .... Outside the White company there were many people, shouting with the security trying to get inside the company, but it was to no avail. Some of the people present flew from different states and countries just to meet with Mr. White, working with the Bulgart Industry is a dream come true for any firm and company. Racheal arrived outside the gate with her car, the moment She came out and saw the crowd her jaw dropped. Instantly she lost hope of getting inside, all these people were the heirs and heiress of their family, and most of them owned a much bigger company than the Odias, so if they can't get inside themselves there's no way she would. "Why are they so crowded?" Racheal stomped her feet on the ground. Seeing there was no way to get in, she decided to go back to her office before a familiar voice called from behind. "I can get you in if you want." It was Drake, donned in a black tailored suit. He dipped his hands in his pocket and walked towards Racheal. "Drake, you're here too?" Racheal asked. "Of course, this is the Bulgart Industry we're talking about. And it's owned by the wealthiest man alive, it's a dream come true for everybody." Drake chuckled lightly. "That's true, but sadly, there won't be any slots for both of us, the company is already crowded. And I'm sure Mr. White would have gotten people to fill up the slot." Racheal said with disappointment. "Not really, my family did get a slot." Drake said proudly. "What? Are you for real?" Racheal asked surprised. "Yes, you know my family is very reputable, and my dad has been doing business with Mr. White for more than thirty years, they have a good relationship. So immediately my father asked, he didn't hesitate to Grant my dad's request." "That's so nice." Racheal began to get closer to Drake. "So you're saying you can get me in?" "Yes, I was sent down here by my father to complete some signatures, so I can use that opportunity to sneak you inside." Drake gestured. "That's so nice of you." "But on one condition." He raised his index finger.Latest Chapter
Chapter 713
“I only want to know one thing,” Adam said, cutting through any preamble. “Is my mother still alive?”“She is,” the masked figure answered. “And if you want to know where, throw over the herb.”“Empty words. Give me a reason to believe you.”“You don’t have much choice in the matter.” The voice carried a deliberate edge, probing for a reaction. “Without me, you’ll never find her. And she’s not living well, boy. Every day is suffering. Can you really afford to walk away from this?”Adam kept his expression flat despite the heat rising in his chest. The person across the water was baiting him, watching to see which way emotion would push him. He refused to give them the satisfaction.“Words are cheap,” he said. “I won’t hand over anything until I see her myself.”“Cautious. I expected that.” The masked figure tilted their head slightly, something almost appreciative in the gesture. “Letting you see her is a problem, though. You’re too dangerous. I’d be dead before I could blink.” A paus

There was no point spiraling further. He had three days, and speculation without evidence was just noise. When the time came, he would see the person face to face and get his answers directly.The three days passed quickly.Adam arrived at Vagil Lake alone in the early morning, the phoenix blood herb secured in a case at his side. The place was genuinely striking — mountains layered behind mountains, their peaks softened by morning mist, the lake surface still and mirror-flat between them. Dense forest pressed in from all sides, ancient and unbothered. Under different circumstances it might have been peaceful.It was also, practically speaking, a terrible place to be ambushed. No crowds, no witnesses, no easy exits. Whoever had chosen this location knew what they were doing.The moment he reached the shoreline, Adam extended his spiritual senses outward. His range had grown but still held to roughly a hundred feet in diameter — enough, as it turned out, to matter. He swept it methodic

“It’s nothing. Go back to rest,” Adam said, pulling the killing intent back into himself like a tide receding from shore.The others exchanged uncertain glances but obeyed, filing out without another word. None of them pushed. Whatever they had felt radiating from his room, they understood instinctively that asking about it wasn’t an option.The reason for the eruption was simple: he had recognized the woman in the video.His mother.Despite the years — more than he cared to count — he had known her face instantly. It wasn’t something that required thought. She was thinner than he remembered, her face hollowed by exhaustion and suffering, her hair dull and matted. But it was her. The recognition had hit him not in his mind but somewhere deeper, somewhere that didn’t require confirmation.She didn’t look as old as she should have, which told him the video wasn’t recent. It had been recorded some time ago. What that meant for her current state, he didn’t know, and not knowing was its ow

“Adam, our grudge is settled. Why did you capture me?” Sasha demanded, her eyes blazing.“Settled? When?” Adam tilted his head, genuinely appearing to search his memory. “I must have missed it.”“Don’t play dumb.” She crossed her arms, jaw tight. “I served you for two days, and then my father redeemed me with the phoenix blood herb. What more could you possibly want?”“You’re right,” Adam conceded easily. “We were even. Before today.” He let that land. “Then you showed up at Gunther’s wedding.”“That’s absurd. I attended a wedding — I didn’t raise a hand against you. Half the region was there. Why am I the only one standing in front of you right now?”Adam regarded her for a moment, something almost like amusement passing through his expression. “Didn’t expect you to have such a sharp tongue.” He waved a hand. “Fine. You can go. But hear me clearly — stay out of my affairs and don’t entertain any thoughts of revenge. The consequences won’t be worth it.”“I never intended to seek reven

Tessa nodded.“What if someone threatens you using your grandfather and parents?” Adam pressed, his eyes narrowing. He already knew her answer before she gave it — or rather, before she failed to give it.The hesitation was immediate. Tessa’s lips parted, then closed again. Her grandfather and parents were the single thread anyone could pull to unravel her completely, and both she and Adam knew it.His expression hardened. “I’m warning you,” he said coldly. “Even if someone threatens you with your grandfather and parents, you must not give yourself away. Do you understand me?”“Yes.” Tessa nodded, though the word came out smaller than she intended.“Understanding isn’t enough.” His voice dropped to something quieter and far more dangerous. “You must remember it. And if you find you can’t keep this promise —” he paused, letting the silence do its work, “— I will kill your grandfather and parents myself. Right now. Then you won’t have to worry about them being used against you ever agai

To Adam’s surprise, besides Sasha, Whitney was also missing.Adam didn’t bother to search for her either. She had her own feet to carry her wherever she wished, and he had neither the patience nor the inclination to chase after a woman who clearly didn’t want to be found. Whatever her reasons, they were her own.Leaving Lord Venom, Gina, and the others to handle the aftermath of the chaos that had unfolded, Adam took Tessa by the wrist and led her away from the ruins of what was supposed to have been a wedding. The contrast wasn’t lost on him — she was still dressed in white, still breathtaking, still radiating that quiet grace that had always unsettled him in ways he refused to examine too closely.The journey back to Hollow Reach Valley was silent. Tessa didn’t speak, and Adam didn’t offer her any words of comfort or explanation. The tension between them was a living thing, coiled and restless, filling the space where conversation should have been. Tessa stole glances at his profile
