Chapter 74
Author: Marina Vittori
“Mr. Chapman, what are you doing? Why did you interrupt?” Natasha frowned in annoyance. She hadn’t even made her decision, but Stephan had accepted the challenge without consulting her. He was overstepping his boundaries!

“Ms. Harmon, there’s nothing to be afraid of! I’m sure I can handle anything they throw at me,” Stephan said confidently. He was utterly unaware of his mistake.

“What if we lost the death match? Have you thought about the consequences?” Natasha narrowed her eyes.

“You must be joking! It’s impossible that they will defeat me. Just watch, I’ll put on an amazing performance later!” Stephan patted his chest assuredly.

“Ms. Harmon, there are only two choices. You can either pay the ransom with half of your business, or you bet on the deathmatch with all your assets at stake,” Edwin repeated his conditions.

“I will accept the death match. However, let my sister go first,” Natasha said coldly. Even though she knew that she was walking into Edwin’s trap, there was nothin

    Elowen's smile disappeared in an instant. The playful warmth in her expression turned ice-cold as she slowly raised her head to look at the couple. Her gaze was icy, as though she were staring at lifeless objects.The air seemed to freeze around them.The moment her eyes shifted with intent, Evander's hand came to rest gently on her shoulder, stopping her before she could act.He stepped forward, positioning himself between his sister and the couple. His expression softened into a warm, apologetic smile as he nodded at them."I'm so sorry. My sister wasn't paying attention to where she was going. We apologize for startling you."His tone was sincere and humble as he tried to defuse the situation.The young man's irritation eased slightly when he saw the genuine apology, particularly after noticing Evander's polished demeanor. Still, he couldn't resist saying, "Just pay attention next time. What's with the outfits anyway? You guys filming something?"His girlfriend gave a dismi

    Over the next few days, the crisis at Dash Corporation showed no signs of resolving, despite Dahlia's attempts to clear things up.Natasha had paused her direct attacks, but the market pressure hadn't lifted. Most of the clients and suppliers who'd been swayed remained hesitant to return. It was as if someone were quietly steering events from behind the scenes.She even mobilized the Ballard family's full resources and launched a counter-investigation. Natasha didn't believe in flawless conspiracies. If someone had impersonated the Moseys, they would have left traces behind.At the same time, she also started sharing information with Dahlia more regularly. Though tension still existed between them, this uneasy alliance seemed necessary when facing an enemy hidden in the shadows.As for Dustin, he'd begun living a relatively quiet life under Natasha's insistence. Without his power, he now experienced the vulnerability and limits of mortality in ways he never had before. But from a

    Within an elegantly appointed study at the Mosey mansion, Seamus, the prince of a different lineage, was personally pouring drinks for two young visitors.The atmosphere was markedly different from the rest of the mansion. The usual imposing grandeur was absent, replaced by the cautious courtesy reserved for those of superior status.Evander Quinton remained impassive, offering only a slight nod in response to Seamus' attentiveness.Elowen Quinton lifted her cup and inhaled the aroma of the tea. She held herself gracefully, yet there was an unmistakable distance in her posture."This tea is excellent," she remarked after a sip, sounding genuinely pleased."These leaves are spiritual tea from the Appalchi Highlands, a most rare vintage," Seamus replied with a smile. "Should it be to your liking, I will have a selection prepared for you at once.""No need for such formalities, Sir Mosey." Evander set down his cup and got straight to the point. "We don't have much time. Have you giv

    Back at the office, Dahlia settled into the executive chair behind her desk. Her fingers drummed a silent rhythm on its smooth surface as she focused on the screen.The briefing from Lyra showed that pressure from Dash Corporation, backed by the Ballard family, was rapidly mounting.After a moment's consideration, Dahlia stopped hesitating. She picked up her phone, scrolled to a number she rarely dialed yet knew by heart, and pressed call. The line rang several times before connecting.The voice on the line was Natasha's. Her composure was clearly forced, and the icy edge beneath it was impossible to miss."What a rare pleasure, Ms. Nicholson. Is this a call to flaunt the Mosey family's influence, or simply to savor my current predicament?"Dahlia ignored the jab, cutting straight to the point. "I'm not behind the troubles that your company is facing."A short, derisive laugh came through the line, heavy with scorn."So you've got the nerve to make a move, but not to admit it?"

    Natasha was convinced Dahlia was behind it. As Seamus' goddaughter, Dahlia controlled nearly half of the Mosey family's finances. Her influence in business and high society was undeniable. With the full support of the Moseys behind her, crushing Dash Corporation would be child's play.Natasha's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them as she searched for Dahlia's motive. Her thoughts snapped back to the barbecue restaurant the day before, to her own blatant display of affection, which she knew had struck a nerve.Given Dahlia's pride and aloof nature, Natasha was sure she wouldn't make a scene in public. Yet she could easily imagine Dahlia nursing a private grudge and using her business influence to exact revenge, all to humiliate her. In fact, Natasha sensed this might not just be about revenge. Something more calculated had been at play."Dahlia, I didn't expect you to be this petty," Natasha muttered, tapping her fingers on the desk absently, her gaze hardening."Eve

    Natasha received a call from her secretary, Liora Hayes."Ms. Harmon!" Her voice was choked with tears. "We have a crisis. Half an hour ago, we received several calls from Vanguard Group, Sterling Group, and Paramount Properties. They've all issued unilateral notices terminating their contracts. Even every agreed-upon project is suspended.""What?" Natasha's face paled instantly. "They're terminating their contracts? How is that possible? The contract's already been signed. Are they planning to breach them outright?""They only mentioned strategic adjustments and refused to elaborate. As for the penalty clauses, they stated they're willing to pay in full," Liora explained, her tone urgent.She added, "But it gets worse. Several of our long-term suppliers and distribution partners have just sent formal notices. They're claiming circumstances beyond their control and cutting off all supply and support.""How can this be happening?" Natasha asked.Dread settled in her chest as the r
