Chapter 1169 – [Account Restricted] III
*****The exact same message that Mason had seen popped up on their cell phones as well, and almost immediately, all three of them froze, and…Honey’s face drained of color so quickly that it seemed as though someone had flipped a switch, goosebumps spread across her arms, and her pupils shrank as disbelief flooded her mind.“This…” she whispered, her lips quivering uncontrollably.Before she even realized it, a sudden wave of weakness surged through her body, threatening to knock her off balance.Yet stubborn denial immediately followed. She shook her head fiercely, her voice rising in sharp disbelief. “This can’t be right.”Her fingers moved in a blur.She closed the app and opened another bank application… then another… and another.Each tap of her screen was faster than the last, fueled by desperation that grew more frantic with every passing second.One by one, she opened every banking app she possessed, every institution she had ever entrusted with her money, but unfort
Chapter 1168 – [Account Restricted] II
*****“No… no… that’s…” Mason muttered under his breath, but the words refused to come together.His brain simply… refused to cooperate.Then, all at once, a crushing wave of heat surged through him.It felt as though someone had dumped an entire bucket of ice water over his head… except the “water” was sweat.Within seconds, his clothes clung to his skin, soaked from collar to waist. Beads of perspiration rolled down his temples, his back, his neck.His breathing turned ragged, and his vision blurred, the letters on the screen twisting and doubling, the text swimming before his eyes like mocking phantoms.Account Restricted.Account Restricted.Account Restricted.It echoed in his mind like a death sentence, repeating on an unending loop, when suddenly;“Son…” a voice echoed from the distant, seemingly muted, and sounding as if it were coming from the far end of a tunnel.Just at that moment, Mason’s knees buckled, strength draining from his body so quickly that it was al
Chapter 1167 – [Account Restricted]
*****“The authorities claim criminal activities have been linked to multiple Oriens financial channels,” the retainer explained, his voice shaking. “Because of that… the Central Criminal Intelligence Bureau has placed a lien on all accounts connected to the Oriens family.”His voice cracked as he finished.“Personal accounts… corporate accounts… private investments… even the family reserve funds,” he repeated, then lowered his eyes.“Everything has been frozen until the investigation is completed.”Silence.Once again, the room fell into absolute stillness.The Oriens family simply stared at him, but this time, something about their expressions began to change.The shock drained away, leaving their faces slowly empty.It was as though their souls had quietly packed their bags and left their bodies behind, all five appearing hollow… resembling standing corpses.But just when the suffocating quiet began to stretch unbearably long…“Nonsense!” An explosive roar suddenly shatt
Chapter 1166 – The Oriens’ Disbelief
*****Still inside the Oriens Patriarch’s mansion… within the enormous hall that was usually brimming with power, pride, and the arrogant confidence of a family that believed itself untouchable, an eerie stillness had taken over.It was silent, but not the ordinary, harmless kind.No.This silence was suffocating, hanging in the air like a thick, invisible fog, while pressing down on everyone in the room until even breathing felt like a difficult task.The hall itself was vast… large enough to host dozens of guests comfortably, but at this moment it felt oppressively clustered, as if the walls had begun creeping inward, slowly squeezing the occupants like prey trapped in a tightening cage.The atmosphere was so heavy that it almost seemed alive, and for what felt like an eternity, no one moved, blinked, or even inhaled too loudly.The elderly patriarch, who only moments ago had been betrayed and shamelessly pushed under the bus by the very descendants he had spent decades prote
Chapter 1165 – An Unexpected Piece of Intel
*****Honey’s eyes gleamed viciously as she crossed her arms, glaring darkly, hatefully, and fiercely at the old man.Mason… never one to miss an opportunity to kick someone when they were already on the ground, instantly nodded his head vigorously, appearing as if Honey had just delivered the speech of the century.“Exactly,” he added without hesitation, his tone laced with scorn. “You’ve always been greedy and selfish anyway, so why pretend now? For once in your life, you can actually be useful.”“Take the blame, absorb the fallout, and maybe… just maybe the rest of us can still survive this mess.”The words came out with frightening ease, as if suggesting the elderly patriarch sacrifice himself was no more complicated than asking someone to pass the salt at dinner.Nico, who had been silent for a moment, finally spoke as well.Unlike the explosive fury of the younger ones, his voice carried a colder, quieter ruthlessness that somehow made his betrayal feel even heavier.“Fa
Chapter 1164 – Throwing the Patriarch Under the Bus III
*****He had brought the scheme he had been cooking for years forward, all for what… Mason’s future and that of his descendants.Everything he had done… every single thing had been for them, yet the very first time true danger appeared…They didn’t hesitate even for a second. They had thrown him out like trash.Meanwhile, Grace and her parents… the three people he had always treated worse than enemies…The three he had tormented for years… because they weren’t his blood, whom he had deprived of their right, punished unjustly, and repeatedly allowed his own descendants to take what belonged to them, had never once dared to meet his gaze with open defiance.Never once had they tried to use him as a scapegoat, let alone screamed accusations at himBut these… these spoiled, greedy descendants he had protected like treasures, didn’t even hesitate a bit to point at him like he was a criminal.Realizing this, the elderly patriarch’s eyes slowly reddened, a bitter, suffocating emotion
