The bald gangster, expecting a display of ruthless power, continued to shout, his voice echoing through the alley, eager for Nathan's demise.

The air was thick with apprehension as he directed his energy towards her, intending to force her to take her own life.However, as the cultivator focused on manipulating the situation, he felt an inexplicable resistance in his own energy.

HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME JAMES ANGER
Nathan, appreciating the strategic approach, agreed. "That works. Let's make sure we gather all the information we need to expose the truth and protect your family."

Karina's brother James, his eyes swollen from tears, sat beside his mother, Mrs. Blackwood.

But we must be careful and think strategically," she advised.At that moment, Alex Atwood, Karina's suitor, entered the ward with an air of calculated confide
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME SUDDEN REGRET
Karina now understood the truth of the matter; she now understood why Nathan had to act the way he did because of the pendant, because he had collected it from her only for James to take it from him. She now understood that Nathan was not in the wrong and that it was James who was wrong in this situation.“What? Why did you have to take his pendant in the first place?”“Why shouldn’t I have taken it? We have been taking care of him ever since he got married to you; the least we could do is take the pendant from him and sell it; that way we can get some money from him."“You shouldn’t have done that, James!” Karina yelled with an angry look in her eyes.“Don’t yell at James like that; you should channel that anger towards Nathan; he was the one that beat up my son."“Mom James was in the wrong in this situation; he was the one that made Nathan react that way,” Karina complained. She knew how her mother always supports James, even though he was in the wrong.“James is not wrong for what

"Karina is my ex-wife," Nathan stated, his words hanging in the air, causing a sense of discomfort to pass over Karina's features. She braced herself for what was to come, sensing a shift in Gwen's demeanor.Gwen's expression hardened imperceptibly; her previous warmth was replaced by a thin veil of hostility. Unconsciously, she began drawing comparisons in her mind, assessing Karina and sizing up the history between Nathan and his ex-wife. A faint sense of insecurity crept into Gwen's stance, her defenses subtly rising as she gauged Karina's presence. Although she liked Nathan, she tried her best not to show it so soon.Karina, perceptive to the shift in the atmosphere, felt a pang of regret for the unintended discomfort caused by her mere presence. She struggled to maintain composure, caught in the crosscurrents of emotions, wishing to dissolve any tension."I hope I'm not causing any inconvenience," Karina interjected softly, her attempt to diffuse the tension evident in her voice.

At this point, he was unsure if Gwen was from the Smith family. “Why in the world are you trying to defend this good for nothing?"“You shouldn’t be wasting your time with such a piece of sh*t,” Alex fired.“Who the hell do you think you are? Don’t you dare talk about Nathan like that!” Gwen was becoming more and more hostile towards Nathan. Nathan, on the other hand, didn’t want to lose his cool as he watched everything unfold in front of him.Gwen stupidity towards Nathan was starting to get on Alex's nerves as he gazed at her like a tiger that was about to pounce on his prey.Diane noticed that Alex was about to lose his cool as she grab
