"Get lost!" Daniel barked, his patience with Adrian nonexistent. He brusquely shoved him aside and marched directly toward Tessa.

Adrian stumbled, shocked, but Daniel’s focus was solely on her. He stopped a few steps away, bowed deeply, and said with reverence, “Madam, please forgive my delay. I beg your pardon.”

Tessa’s eyes widened in alarm. Her hand instinctively moved to shield the Cursed-Idol amulet hanging from her neck.

A wave of dread washed over her. He recognizes it. That was her immediate thought, though she knew the pendant she wore was merely a counterfeit. If Daniel realized the truth, she’d be in grave trouble. Regret bubbled within her—she should’ve removed the fake amulet before coming to Bulgart Industry.

The others were stunned into silence.

Adrian broke it first, his voice laced with confusion and disbelief. “Uncle Daniel, you must be mistaken! She’s just the daughter of the Armand family, and that loser over there is her husband. Why are you calling her ‘Madam’?”

    “Adam, let’s just let it go,” Tessa said softly, her gaze lingering on the humiliated group. Despite everything, she felt a pang of sympathy for them.Adam raised an eyebrow and smirked, glancing at Daniel. “Mr. Sebastian, it seems they didn’t quite hear you earlier.”Daniel’s face turned cold, his tone laced with fury. “It seems they have a death wish. Men! Drag them out and feed them to the dogs!”“No! I’ll fulfill my end of the bet!” Henry shouted, panic overtaking him as he stepped forward, his earlier arrogance completely gone.“I’ll do it too,” Adrian said grudgingly, swallowing his pride. His face was a mix of anger and humiliation.As for Wendy, she didn’t even bother to argue or defend herself. The moment Daniel made his threat, she bolted from the scene, disappearing into the crowd without a backward glance.“This way, please, Mr. and Mrs. Adam,” Daniel said with a polite bow, gesturing for the couple to follow him into the building.---Inside the grand building, Daniel per

    “Wendy, are you sure about this?” Gerald asked anxiously, his tone filled with anticipation. His hands trembled slightly as he leaned forward, eyes fixed on Wendy. If her guess was correct and the Supreme General had truly taken an interest in her, it would be a monumental breakthrough for the Armand family.Wendy crossed her arms and huffed proudly. “Of course, I’m sure. That old man I met had white hair and looked to be around the rumored age of the Supreme General. And, as the rumors say, he was hideously ugly. At first, I wasn’t certain, but now everything lines up perfectly.”She paused for dramatic effect, casting a mocking glance at Tessa. “The Supreme General must have taken an interest in me, which is why he sent Mr. Sebastian to greet us earlier. Clearly, Mr. Sebastian mistook Tessa for me.” She sneered, stepping closer to Tessa. “Did you really think someone like the Supreme General would be interested in a married woman like you?”Tessa, unfazed, shook her head. “I’ve neve

    “You brat! Look at Wendy. She’s managed to catch the attention of the Supreme General! And what about you? You latched onto a useless piece of trash. Damn it!” Eleanor fumed, her face red with anger. Richard’s expression was equally dark. “She’s right. You must divorce that useless piece of garbage immediately. There’s no way we’ll let that jerk drag you down any further.” “Your dad is absolutely right,” Eleanor added, slamming her hand on the table. “Go and divorce that good-for-nothing right now. Just the thought of him makes my blood boil!” Wendy smirked, her arms crossed. “Even if she divorces him, she’s still a used woman. Do you really think the Supreme General would be interested in someone like her?” Henry, not one to miss the opportunity to ridicule, chimed in with a sneer. “What do you take the Supreme General for? Why would someone of his stature waste his time with a divorced woman? She wouldn’t even catch the eye of someone like Mr. Woods or Mr. Blackwoods now.”

    Tessa smiled bitterly, a deep sadness lingering in her heart. She wished her family could see Adam as more than an outsider, as someone who belonged to them too. But it was a foolish wish. Even she was little more than a tool to her family—a pawn in their endless games of power and ambition.Adam broke the silence. “I have to go for a checkup later. You don’t need to wait for me. The bidding will be held in a few days, so you should prepare the necessary documents.” He smiled, trying to lighten the mood.Tessa chuckled, but the sound lacked warmth. “I’ve been demoted to vice president. Wendy is the president now, so she’s in charge of the bidding.”Adam frowned, clearly taken aback. “How is that possible? You just secured the bidding qualification. It’s bad enough they didn’t reward you, but to demote you? That’s outrageous!”“Well, I only got the bidding qualification because of Wendy,” Tessa said quietly, her tone resigned.Adam’s confusion deepened. “What does that have to do with

    Although Eleanor had her doubts about Adam’s bold claims, her desire to attend the bidding event overpowered her skepticism. This was a rare opportunity to mingle with influential figures from Storm City, as well as international elites who had flown in for the occasion. If Tessa attended, Eleanor thought, perhaps she might catch the eye of some big shot and elevate their family’s status.However, Richard didn’t share his wife’s enthusiasm. To him, this was a futile endeavor. He had already lost all hope in Adam.Before long, the three of them arrived at the grand entrance of Bulgart Industry’s headquarters. The towering building exuded power and prestige, and a steady stream of well-dressed guests approached the security checkpoint, invitation cards in hand.“Adam, do you really have a way to get us in?” Tessa asked, doubt lingering in her voice.Eleanor, less subtle, snapped, “I’m warning you now—if you embarrass me in front of all these people, I won’t let you off so easily!”Adam,

    “What does this have to do with me?” Adam said, finding Eleanor’s accusation absurd.Eleanor’s face turned red with anger as she jabbed a finger at him. “It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, Tessa would’ve married Mr. Blackwood instead. With the Blackwood family supporting us, we wouldn’t be in this mess!”Tessa sighed, already tired of the argument. “Mom, stop blaming Adam. I wouldn’t have married Mr. Blackwood even if Adam wasn’t in the picture.”“You brat!” Eleanor snapped, crossing her arms tightly. “You’re going to give me a heart attack someday with that attitude!”Adam decided to step in before the argument escalated further. “The bidding event is about to start. Let’s go inside,” he said, his tone calm but firm.Tessa hesitated, still anxious. “Can we really get in?”“Don’t worry.” Adam flashed her a confident smile.Encouraged by his demeanor, Tessa quickly stepped forward, nudging Adam ahead of her. Eleanor followed reluctantly, keeping a few steps behind. She glanced

    Just as Mark finished speaking, Adam’s palm connected with his face in a loud, resounding slap.The sharp sound echoed across the entrance, drawing the attention of everyone nearby. For a moment, time seemed to freeze. The security guards, staff, and even passersby stared in stunned silence.No one could believe what they had just witnessed. Adam, a man rumored to be nothing more than a cripple, had slapped Mark in broad daylight, right at the doors of Bulgart Industry.Mark stumbled, clutching his cheek with wide eyes. “You... you dare hit me?”Adam sneered, his voice cold. “You asked for it.”“Damn you! I’ll kill you!” Mark roared, his face twisted with fury. He swung his fist at Adam’s head, fully intending to knock him down.Though Mark knew Adam could fight, he assumed the injury to Adam’s legs gave him the upper hand. Confidence fueled his attack.But Adam didn’t even flinch. Before Mark’s punch could connect, Adam moved with surprising speed. His fist struck Mark’s stomach with

    Stacey sneered coldly at Sandra and Mark one last time before turning toward Adam and Tessa with a warm, professional smile. “Mr. Adam, Ms. Armand, this way, please.”Tessa blinked in disbelief, as if she had just woken up in the middle of a surreal dream. The idea of Adam actually getting them inside the event seemed like a miracle to her."Is this really happening?" Tessa muttered under her breath as she followed Adam.However, before they could take more than a few steps, Eleanor’s frantic voice broke through the moment.“Tessa! Adam! Don’t just leave me out here! Tell them to let me in too!” Eleanor called out, rushing over. Her face was flushed with desperation as the security guards firmly blocked her path.Tessa sighed, clearly annoyed. “Adam please, she's my mother, we can't just leave her outside"Adam glanced at Stacey, who raised an eyebrow as if silently asking for confirmation. With a small nod from Adam, Stacey turned to the guards.“Let her in,” she ordered coolly.The

    Adam’s fists were still clenched, his knuckles white as he glared down at Brian, who was crumpled on the floor, clutching his side. The entire family remained silent, the tension so thick it was suffocating. Brian groaned, forcing himself to sit up, his swollen face twisted in pain. But even in his battered state, his arrogance remained. “You think this is over, Adam?” he spat, his voice weak but laced with venom. “You’ll regret this. My family—” Before Brian could finish, Adam’s wheelchair rolled forward with deliberate intent. With surprising speed, Adam grabbed him by the collar and yanked him closer. “You still don’t know when to shut up, do you?” Adam growled. Without hesitation, he delivered another punch to Brian’s face, sending him sprawling back to the floor. “Adam, stop!” Tessa’s voice broke through the tension as she rushed to him, placing her hands on his shoulder. “Please, that’s enough!” Adam’s breathing was heavy, his eyes still blazing with fury.

    The tension in the room was palpable as Adam rolled into the living room, his expression dark and commanding.“Adam?” Tessa whispered, her voice filled with worry. She wasn’t concerned for him but for Brian. She knew Adam’s temper too well. He wasn’t going to let this slide. She'd witnessed how ruthless he gets when someone tries to mess with her.Brian, however, showed no sign of remorse. He crossed his arms, glaring at Adam with disdain. “What are you going to do, cripple?” he sneered.Adam’s voice was calm, but the threat in it was unmistakable. “Touch my woman again, and you’ll regret it.”Brian scoffed, puffing out his chest. “You think I’m scared of you? If you speak to me again, I’ll hit you too. I can do whatever I want and you can't do anything about it. you're just a cripple.”From the corner, Wendy chimed in, her tone filled with malice. “You’re pathetic, Adam. A useless man who doesn’t even belong here. Why don’t you just leave and save us all the trouble?”Adam’s jaw tigh

    Back at the Armands mansion, tension hung in the air like a storm about to break. Tessa sat quietly in the grand living room, her face pale but resolute. Around her, the voices of her family swirled like an angry tide, each one cutting deeper than the last. She had started to think if this was really her family, not even her own parents supported her.“This has gone on long enough, Tessa!” Eleanor, her mother, snapped, slamming her hand on the armrest of her chair. “You need to divorce that man. He’s brought nothing but shame to this family!”Her father, Richard, nodded in agreement, his face stern. “Your mother’s right. Do you even realize the damage Adam has done? He’s tarnishing our reputation. You think we’ll stand for this?”Tessa clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. “Adam hasn’t done anything wrong,” she said firmly. “He’s only defended himself because all of you refuse to respect him. Adam had saved me multiple times don’t you guys always see the good side of h

    Meanwhile at a secluded office, Adam, Arin and Stacey were spotted. Arin leaned over a wooden desk, a tablet in his hand, displaying footage that made even Adam’s seasoned demeanor falter. Stacey stood by the window, her arms crossed, watching Adam with concern as he processed the gravity of the situation. The footage on the screen was harrowing—masked figures storming the presidential villa, chaos erupting as explosions lit up the night. Bodies of fallen special forces littered the ground. The insignia of the Cross-blood organization was unmistakable, splashed in blood-red across the screen. “They’re not just back,” Arin said, his voice steady but grim. “They’re stronger, more organized, and deadlier than ever before. We’ve lost too many men already.” Adam sat silently, his fingers steepled under his chin, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts. He had planned to focus on finding the last amulet, to finally bring peace to himself and Tessa. After that, he wanted nothing more

    The Armands family mansion was eerily quiet, the remnants of the extravagant birthday party lingering in the air. Despite the silence, tension brewed like a storm. Gerald slammed his hand on the dining table, his face red with fury. “That good-for-nothing man!” he roared. “He seems to bring bad luck wherever he goes. He ruined my birthday!” Brenda, standing near the fireplace, crossed her arms and chimed in, her tone sharp. “And it’s all Tessa’s fault. If she’d just divorced him like we told her, none of this would be happening. We wouldn’t have to endure the embarrassment he keeps bringing to this family.” Tessa, sitting on the far side of the room, clenched her fists. She had been silent through most of the evening, but she couldn’t hold back any longer. “This has nothing to do with Adam,” she said firmly, her voice steady. “It’s not his fault for defending himself when you all constantly try to belittle him.” Brenda spun around, her eyes blazing. “How dare you talk back to me?”

    “Adam, where are you going?” Tessa asked, her voice tinged with worry as she rushed to his side. Adam turned his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. It was rare to see Tessa show such concern for him, and though the moment was fleeting, he found it endearing. “Don’t worry, Tessa,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “I’ll be fine. Nothing’s going to happen. No one can harm me.” “But what if—” He raised a hand to cut her off gently. “Arin is a friend,” he assured her. “Trust me on this.” Tessa frowned, her arms crossing defensively. She wasn’t convinced. A General showing up unannounced, causing such a stir, and then requesting Adam specifically? It didn’t sit right with her. Stacey stepped forward to assist, placing her hands on the wheelchair handles. “I’ll make sure he’s safe, Mrs. Tessa,” Stacey said reassuringly. Without waiting for another word, Adam allowed Stacey to wheel him toward the convoy waiting outside. The line of black SUVs stretched down the street, t

    Brian struggled to his feet, his face a mix of pain and humiliation. Blood dripped from his mouth, staining his expensive suit. Wendy knelt beside him, her eyes darting between him and Arin. She hesitated, but her anger boiled over. “Adam, you think you’re untouchable just because this General is siding with you?” Wendy spat, her voice shaking. “Mark my words, the Diamond family won’t let this slide!” Adam smirked, his expression calm yet taunting. “Wendy, you should focus on helping your boyfriend before you start making threats you can’t back up.” Wendy said with disdain. "Shut up Adam!" She the. turned over to Arin. "Mr. Vex. You shouldn't be listening to him, Brain is the son on the Diamond family, he's better than this cripple —" Arin’s gaze shifted to Wendy, his face cold and unreadable. The tension in the room grew unbearable as he took a deliberate step forward. He didn't waste time in giving her a dirty slap, she collapsed on the ground her tooth flying over. "Y'all didn'
