Chapter 045- Anniversary O'Clock"Exactly!" Diane exclaimed. "Can you go there for me? For my sake? Please don't say no.''Logan stood in silence for a moment before finally breaking it. “Is that all?”Diane’s eyes widened, and she quickly replied, “Yes! Big bro, does this mean you’ll go for me? Tempête will be right by your side for the whole event!”With a nod, Logan said, “Yeah, I’ll do it, but you owe me a favor while I’m away.”“A favor?” Diane echoed, her mind racing with possibilities. “Anything for you, big bro!”“Alright then. Tell Tempête I’ll be ready in an hour.” With that, Logan turned and strode back into the mansion.************* One hour later.Logan emerged dressed in a striking purple suit, the warm sun filtering through the trees, leaving dancing shadows on the driveway.As he made his way outside, he froze at the sight: a convoy of sleek black SUVs lined up like guardians, the name R-E-E-D boldly emblazoned on their license plates, ready to take him to the anniver
Chapter 046- Laundry Doing Intruder''Code 0i01! All guards present in the hall must shield the young Lord immediately.'' Tempête commanded, adrenaline spiking as alarms rang in his mind.Before they could reach Logan's seat, a sudden ruckus at the entrance caught their attention.A young man, seemingly around Logan's age, was struggling against the guards, desperately trying to push his way into the hall.“Show some respect and turn back, Mister! Today’s a celebration, and I’d hate to ruin it by breaking your knees with my pistol. Back off!” one of the guards shouted, his voice sharp.“I’m going to be late! Please, let me through! I was supposed to deliver the fabrics to Logan an hour ago! I can’t be late! Logan! Logan!!” The man’s pleas echoed through the crowd as the guards continued their attempts to hold him back.Logan strained to get a glimpse of the tumult but recognized the voice instantly—it was Danny.“Danny!” Logan called, but his voice was drowned out by the chaos.Realiz
Chapter 047- Fabio's HumiliationLogan said, hands intertwined, relishing the attention of the surrounding guests, a mischievous grin on his face.''Felix,'’ Fabio sneered, his voice dripping with disdain, ''you’re really backing this wannabe rich pauper, huh? Just wait until the Heiress arrives; she’ll make sure you don’t have a place in the family’s staff circle when she hears about this.''Felix stood frozen in place, caught in a whirlwind of confusion and unease, unsure whether to feel threatened or amused.''Fabio Connor,'’ a voice boomed, cutting through the tension like a knife. Logan stood tall, his presence instantly commanding the attention of everyone in the room.A chill skittered down the spines of the guests, who held their breath in anticipation.''Unless you’re enjoying this lovely counting session of yours, I have a more constructive way for you to spend your time.'' His gaze shifted to the event planning agents flanking Felix.''Do you two have any other tasks you sh
Chapter 048- Logan threatens Harris.''Your time is up, Mr. Manager. You should be finished by now,'' Tempête’s voice thundered as he stormed back into the hall, Logan at his side, dismissing Harris’s presence with a mere glance.''Yeah…yeah. I’m almost done here,'' Fabio stammered, fiddling with the last bow of the table decoration.Tempête’s eyes narrowed, his voice dripping with disdain. ''And who do you think you are, addressing my lord so casually? You should always refer to him as ‘my lord,’ understand?''Fabio opened his mouth to protest, but Logan silenced him with a curt gesture, his finger pressed to his lips. ''Hush,'' he whispered, locking eyes with Fabio. ''Make sure to have your resignation letter ready before the end of this joyous ceremony.'' ''Enough!'' Harris’s voice boomed through the crowd, cutting through the tension.Logan and his crew turned abruptly, revealing Harris, his anger palpable. ''Don’t look at me like that, low-life,'' Harris sneered, pointing at th
Chapter 049- Murderous PlansZora’s lips curved into an enigmatic smile, a glint of determination in her eyes. ''Closure, Mother. Sometimes, to move forward, we must first say goodbye to the dead before we embrace the living.'’Madame Ruthie scrutinized her daughter, the unsettling tranquility in Zora's demeanor sending a shiver down her spine. It was so out of character for her, especially after the tempest of emotions she had just exhibited."What do you mean by ‘closure,’ Zora?" Madame Ruthie's voice trembled with skepticism.Zora turned her gaze to the rain-drenched window, her fingertips drumming anxiously on the glass. "The kind of closure that finally lays the past to rest," she murmured, almost as if the words were too heavy to utter aloud."Madame Eliza meant something to the Reeds. Attending her funeral is my way of honoring that—and reminding a few people that I’m still very much here."Madame Ruthie's frown deepened, her maternal instincts screaming that Zora was withholdi
Chapter 050- Confession at gun point "Enough," Tempête said, cutting him off. He turned to the guards, his expression hardening. "Take him away. I want him locked up until we decide what to do with him.''“No! Don’t take him away just yet. Let him finish his statement,” Logan insisted, his curious gaze locked onto Soler.“My lord, that murderer has no right to speak!” Tempête fumed, his fury simmering just beneath the surface.“Calm down, Tempête,” Logan murmured, leaning closer. “Soler’s next words might either clear up my doubts or leave me with even more questions. Can you grasp that?”Tempête took a deep breath, nodding reluctantly before turning back to Soler, his expression steely.“What were you going to say before I ordered them to escort you away?” Tempête demanded, his voice sharp like a blade.Soler remained silent, lost in a whirlwind of thoughts. “Why do they suddenly want to hear my explanation? No matter what I say, I’ll still face the consequences. I knew about Master
