I lost everything—my job, my reputation, and most of all, my daughter. They made it clear that if I ever spoke about it or tried to seek justice, more people would die."
Helena looked at Benjamin with a mixture of anger and sorrow. "That's why I gave up. I had no choice. They were too powerful, and I was just one person against a monstrous force.”Benjamin listened intently, his expression hardening with resolve. "Helena, I promise you, those responsible will pay for what they've done. I won't let your daughter's death be in vain. We'll uncover the truth together, no matter what it takes.”Benjamin looked at Helena with concern. "Do you have any family left?" he asked gently.Helena nodded. "I have two sons. They’re in the States, working there. They send me money for my upkeep."

The guard’s face instantly paled.“You know what he’ll do to you?” she continued, leaning closer. “He’ll have you beaten, dragged out, and fired on the spot. Me? He’ll just yell a little — maybe scold me. But you? You’ll lose everything. Should I go tell him?”The guard gulped hard, his throat tightening in fear. “No, ma’am… please, no need for that.” He stepped aside quickly, opening the door for her.“That’s better,” Rose said softly, brushing past him and stepping inside.Inside, Cordelia was lying quietly on the bed, her face turned toward the small window. When she heard the door open, she sat up suddenly.“Rose?” she said, surprised.Rose gave her a small smile and walked closer, setting the tray down. “Hi, sis. I brought your food again.”Cordelia blinked, still processing her presence. “Why did you come back here again?” she asked gently.Rose sat beside her and sighed. “I went to see Raymond,” she said. “I tried to talk to him, to convince him to stop this marriage, but he wo
Chapter 471: Austin and Matthew
The driver nodded and said, “Okay, sir,” then turned the wheel, driving Benjamin toward one of the largest clothing stores in the city. Meanwhile, Back at New Ember Inside a quiet police detention center, two men sat in a dim cell, dressed in worn prison uniforms. Their hair had grown long and rough — it was Austin and Matthew. They had been locked up for seven months, almost eight, ever since the police traced them after the Maverick Stone incident. Austin leaned back against the cold wall, giving a tired smile. “So this is our fate? No one to help us? Our friend died, and we end up here trying to avenge him,” he said softly. “Who knows how many years we’ll get if this goes to court?” Matthew sighed, rubbing his face. “Maybe this is just what fate wrote for us,” he muttered. “No one knows we’re even here, and anyone who might… can’t do anything. Life’s just messed up, man.” The two kept talking quietly, voices full of pain and regret. Then the sound of a baton hitting th
Chapter 470: Benjamin A. Stone
Benjamin relaxed back a little and replied softly,“I’m fine, thank you. Are you Benjamin A. Stone?”The man nodded slowly.“I am. And I heard you are here with a billion dollars. Honestly…” he looked at Benjamin from head to toe, “…you look very young for that.”Benjamin gave a small controlled nod.“I’m also Benjamin,” he said, then calmly extended his hand.Benjamin Augustine Stone shook his hand firmly.Stone leaned back slightly. “Alright. Tell me… what exactly are we doing here today? A private account setup?”Benjamin crossed his legs and spoke quietly, “Before that, I need some information. You will help me.”Stone’s smile disappeared. He leaned forward. “Tell me what information you want.”Benjamin looked at him steadily. “Eight years ago, five million dollars was moved into an account. The money came from an account linked to your name. I need full details — who ordered it, where the money went, and which people were involved.”Stone’s face changed. He frowned and his voice
Chapter 469: Rose Meets Raymond
Raymond’s brows tightened.“What happened to her?” he asked, frowning.Rose shook her head. “Nothing happened. It’s about your coming wedding.”Raymond nodded quickly, leaning a little forward with curiosity.“Tell me then… tell me. What message did she send through you?”Rose sighed.“It’s not a message she sent me. It’s something important I want to say.”Raymond folded his arms.“Okay. Say it.”Rose looked him straight in the eyes.“Cordelia doesn’t like you. She never has. Raymond please… don’t marry her. There are still two days left. You can stop this and change things.”Raymond’s face twisted in irritation.“What is wrong with you people? You drove all the way from your house… just to come here and tell me this nonsense?”Rose stood her ground.“Nonsense? You call the truth nonsense?”Raymond scoffed.“Yes. Absolute nonsense. You are wasting both our time. The marriage is already set, and nothing is going to change.”Rose lifted her chin slightly.“That marriage will only make
Chapter 468: Benjamin At Noorhold
Benjamin slowly lowered the window glass and looked outside. Right in front of him was a tall, ultra-modern building. The name shone boldly across the front in clean chrome letters: NOORHOLD LIMITED The glass walls reflected the sky, the cars, the entire street. Workers walked in and out of the automatic doors. Security guards in suits stood at the entrance, watching every movement. Benjamin narrowed his eyes a little. This… was where the money that killed Cordelia’s parents came from. He gently exhaled and said softly, almost to himself— “It’s time.” Benjamin turned slightly to the driver. “Wait here,” he said quietly. The driver nodded. “Yes, sir.” Benjamin pushed the door open and stepped out. The air felt heavier here. He walked straight toward the entrance, each step steady and calm. Inside Noorhold’s main lobby, everything looked expensive and organized. The floor was polished like a mirror. Tall pillars stood on both sides. There were security guards in suits, recep
Chapter 467: Ezra and Evelyn
Inside the car, the driver looked through the mirror and said softly, “Boss… it has really been long. Where did you go?” Benjamin gave a faint smile. “I travelled to go deal with something important. That’s why it took time.” The driver nodded slowly. “I used to call Ms. Winslow to ask her about you… but she always said she would inform me when you come back.” Benjamin narrowed his eyes a bit. “When last did she call you?” The driver thought for a moment. “It’s like more than a month now. She then started calling me to ask if I had any information about where you are. But I didn’t know anything. I even drove to the old base once… but it was empty.” Benjamin leaned back and sighed, as Cordelia flashed in his mind. “I’m back now. No worries. Everything is fine.” He paused, then asked, “Do you know Noorhold Limited?” The driver nodded. “Yes sir. Is that where we are heading?” Benjamin nodded once. “Yes.” Right after that, Benjamin brought out his phone and sent a text to Ezr
