"What in blazes?" The entire Kane entourage sucked in their breath as one, shock rippling through the hall.Vetala had drilled it into them on the ride over—no snarling, no threats, not a single cursed gesture toward the Lancasters, because those smug devils held Bella Kane’s only antidote.Not a soul among them dared flash even a hint of hostility at a Lancaster.Yet, braced to meet Lancaster arrogance head‑on, they instead found the proud clan already on their knees—a twist no prophecy had whispered."Kid, you’ve clearly got your wires crossed," Vetala muttered, his brows knitting in raw confusion.He’d pictured every nightmare under the sun, but this scene had never once marched through his calculations."Ignore their circus," Alex rasped, too rattled to elaborate."Get Bella Kane in front of Sophia—now."Alerted by Bella’s summons, Sophia had propped herself upright in her hospital bed—her wounds mended enough for her to sit or stand without trouble.Meanwhile Vetala spared the La

“You miserable punk, so eager to meet your maker—then do it on your own and quit dragging us down with you.”Sophia’s uncle snarled, rage pumping through his veins, ready to swing at Alex without a second thought.“You’ve got some nerve, Alex. The Kanes spared you out of sheer pity, and you still spew this crap? Are you that desperate to get yourself killed?”Jack spat, contempt twisting his features.They all saw Alex as an unhinged loudmouth.Everyone had just settled their differences, so why the hell was he kicking the hornet’s nest again?If he riled the Kanes, who would bear the brunt when they struck back?Charles might bail them out once, but if Alex shattered that fragile truce, nobody would come to the rescue the next time.They wanted nothing more than to bury Alex six feet under.“Is it wrong to demand an apology from someone who attacked you? Am I out of line? Either way, can’t you see she’s already kneeling like she’s been practicing for it?”Alex said, his tone flat yet

“Mom, what the hell’s going on?”Sophia asked, her voice shaky as she looked at Florence with wide, uncertain eyes.Florence edged closer and perched on the bed, fixing Sophia with a wary gaze.“Listen, Sophia. Bella Kane attacked you, remember? Then the Kanes sent their goons to tear down our companies. Charles promised to help us out this mess, but only if I agreed to let him marry you.”“Mom—” Sophia began.“Sophia, hush,” Florence said with a pointed smile.“We’re talking about Charles Kingston here, the top dog in Vancouver, practically royalty. You couldn’t snag a better husband if you tried. You’re divorced now, and sooner or later, you’ll have to marry again. I want grandkids, and I want them from the best stock.”“Mom…” Sophia tried to speak, but Florence cut her off.“I already gave Charles my word. Your uncles are all in on it. Every single one of them wants you to marry Charles to cement an alliance between the Lancaster and Kingston families.”“The Lancaster Group board a

The instant Clara ended her tale, Alex went rigid, rooted to the floor.He hadn’t expected her to flip the entire narrative in front of everyone and leave him hanging like a thief caught red‑handed.“Did you all hear that?” Florence screeched, her voice slicing through the ballroom chatter.“There it is—the naked truth! Let’s see you wriggle out of this one, Alex!”“Ungrateful doesn’t even begin to cover it,” she piled on.“You twist kindness into poison and spit it back at the people who saved you. Utterly shameless.”The Lancasters hissed and spat, recoiling as if he carried a plague.Their eyes drilled holes in him, seething with contempt.Tears streaked down Clara’s cheeks. “I’m sorry, everyone. I didn’t want to end up dead at Bella’s hands, so I hid the bracelet in Sophia’s bag. I did it to survive—because Bella’s real target is Alex. I’m sorry.”Florence swooped in, wrapping an arm around Clara. “Don’t worry, dear. We understand. This all started because of Alex. Sophia will for

“Alex, why? Why are you so hell-bent on being this stubborn? Can’t you just apologize?”Sophia demanded, her voice trembling as disappointment flooded her eyes.She couldn’t fathom how that once boastful man had sunk so low—raising his hand against Bella, locking himself behind narrow-minded walls, brimming with jealousy, and repaying kindness with cruelty.Just an apology—how hard can it be?Sophia yearned for that slap to jolt him awake.“Sink into the darkness, Alex. Taste the agony that I’ve endured!” Charles whispered, almost lovingly, as his eyes drank in the chaos with sickening delight.There was a twisted satisfaction blooming in his chest—a vile warmth—watching them unravel, watching their faces twist in pain.Misery was his playground.And seeing others drown in it? That was the only thing that made him feel alive.He’d had to bleed a little to make his act convincing, but seeing Sophia strike Alex made triumph coil in his chest.“That was a masterpiece of a slap! He deserv

“I’ve made everything crystal clear, haven’t I? But since when have you ever trusted a single word out of my mouth?” Alex snapped.“You should’ve laid it all out for me, at the very least! How am I supposed to believe you when you never treat anything with real seriousness?” Sophia fired back, her anger seething.“So it’s my fault again,” Alex muttered, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him.“I’m always in the wrong, no matter what I do. And you? You’re forever right. Fine. Have it your way—you’re right.”“Of course I’m right,” Sophia retorted in a sharp burst, then instantly regretted her words.“I’m done caring,” Alex growled, jerking his arm away from her grip with deliberate force.“We’re finished here. Let go of me.”His eyes bore into her as though she was a complete stranger.No—she was staring at a man who’d been pushed too far, who’d had enough.She sensed that if she let him go, he might never return to her side again.“What do you want from me, Alex? Can’t you quit act

“Pardon me, folks—out of the room, now. The patient needs quiet if she’s going to heal.”The nurse herded them into the corridor, her heels clicking like a judge’s gavel announcing adjournment.Instead of dispersing, they clustered beneath the fluorescent lights, still reeling from the bombshell that had just gone off in their lives.“Can you believe it? Alex, of all people, is the Lancaster Group’s silent bankroll!” Jack’s uncle whispered, voice rough with intrigue.“Think the guy’s hiding some secret pedigree?”“Alex?” Florence scoffed.“I dug through every record—he’s a nobody. Sure, he did a stint in the military, which makes him tough enough to hit Bella, but besides that he’s an orphan with empty pockets.”Heads nodded; the story was too tidy to question.One of the family suddenly asked, “Why are all of you looking down on Alex?”“Looking down on him?” Florence laughed.“Impossible. We simply don’t care about him. We’re not heartless. We don’t prejudge people. Even if he’s poor

The days that followed felt eerily calm, the kind of hush that settles after a tempest.Jasmine Kingston’s iron will now reigned over the streets of Vancouver.Under her genius leadership, the city rose to unprecedented heights, surpassing anything it had witnessed before.Alfred Kingston held sway over the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles.Even Kelly had carved out her domain in the rugged territory of Vermont.Though her claim was recent and largely untested, the backing from both Vancouver and L.A. was enough to keep any potential challengers at bay.Guided by the Kingston family’s teachings, Kelly’s skills blossomed with startling speed, like a flower flourishing under a midday sun.During that time, Alex had transformed a decrepit building at the edge of a slum into a humble clinic—and a refuge from the world.He kept his true identity concealed, operating the clinic for a mere two or three hours each day to provide free treatment to those who had nowhere else to go, particula

Jasmine strode forward, her heels clicking like gunshots across the polished marble floor, eyes blazing with barely restrained fury as she confronted Henry Dupont.“Careful, Henry,” she warned, her voice icy but edged with fire.“Accusations without proof could burn you alive.”Henry threw his head back and laughed bitterly, the sound cutting through the murmurs of anticipation like a razor blade.“Oh, isn't she priceless?” He swung around to face the crowd, his voice rising sharply, deliberately loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.“Do you all hear this nonsense? Last month, Kingston Pharmaceutical’s chief of medical research and his elite team lost all faith in Jasmine Kingston's sham leadership and abandoned ship. Who could blame them?”“Those brilliant minds took the SkinDew patent—legally theirs—and fled to Kane Pharmaceutical.”“They perfected SkinDew there, away from Jasmine's incompetence!” Henry sneered dramatically, relishing every scathing word.He jabbed an accusing f

“The Emerald Elixir is dangerous?” Murmurs erupted like wildfire, spreading panic and suspicion through the hall.At the heart of the disruption stood a police officer, rotund with arrogance and disdain plainly painted on his flushed, perspiring face.His voice boomed obnoxiously, a smug sneer twisting his lips, “When I declare something dangerous, you better believe it's deadly!”Jasmien’s eyes widened in shock, her heart plunging to her stomach.This was a disaster she hadn't anticipated.An incident like this at her meticulously arranged press conference spelled doom.Even if the product was later proven harmless, Kingston Pharmaceutical’s reputation still hung by a thread.The media would pounce first—and by the time the truth surfaced, the damage would already be irreversible. The stain on their name could outlast the facts, lingering like a shadow.The word “dangerous” echoed ominously, branding the Elixir with a toxic stigma—a curse that could doom its commercial future.From a

Charles stormed toward Jasmine's hall, only to halt abruptly, his jaw dropping in disbelief.The hall was already swarming, packed so tightly it seemed to ripple with anticipation.People jostled for seats, their excitement palpable, like sharks sensing blood.Staff scrambled to form a protective barricade around Dr. Joane, who stood serenely conversing with Alex, entirely indifferent to the seething crowd pressing closer.Jasmine watched gleefully, a predatory smile tugging at her lips.Clearly, using Dr. Joane as bait had worked far better than she'd dared hope.Standing tall, Jasmine seized a microphone, her voice ringing like polished steel through the restless chatter."Thank you all for your overwhelming enthusiasm. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number gathered here today, only our top ten customers will have the exclusive honor of consulting directly with Dr. Joane."She gestured grandly to the eager faces, eyes gleaming with triumph."For now, please find your seats. Our pre

At that precise moment, the grandeur of Dupont’s event erupted into full bloom.The massive double doors swung open, and a wave of guests surged inside, voices rising with excitement as they scrambled to claim their seats.The atmosphere crackled with electric anticipation.Henry Dupont scanned the rapidly growing crowd, a smug, triumphant smile stretching across his face.They had finally outsmarted Kingston, beating them to the punch.Even Kingston's desperate, last-minute attempt at hosting their conference across the way was doomed from the start.Without guests, it was little more than a pathetic joke.Henry chuckled darkly, his heart swelling with arrogant satisfaction.The lord of Chicago had decisively won this round.Everything was unfolding flawlessly.By day's end, SkinDew Essence would dominate headlines and conversations, spreading like wildfire.Whatever scraps Kingston might later produce would simply languish in the shadow of his glorious success.His ambitious vision—

Only after Jasmine had disappeared into the crowd did Charles finally register her words, fury igniting inside him like a wildfire.“Absolute nonsense!” he snarled, his face twisting in contempt."SkinDew Essence is practically gold dust right now! People are begging on their knees, throwing money at us just to get a single drop. Your pathetic jealousy is showing, Jasmine!"His voice was dripping venom, disdain echoing in every syllable.But Jasmine had already dismissed him entirely.She gracefully looped her arm through Alex’s, her face serene with confidence, as they vanished into the empty hall.“Hmph! She really has no grasp of reality!” Charles spat bitterly, eyes narrowing viciously as he watched them vanish."Pathetic—just scrambling desperately to make trouble as a final act of desperation! Soon enough, the Duponts will crush her underfoot. And when the lawsuits pour in over her half-baked product, she’ll beg for mercy!"Meanwhile, the Texas Interstate Convention Hall steadil

Now that SkinDew Essence had slipped through Kingston Pharmaceuticals’ fingers, the family simmered with resentment.But Charles saw more than loss; he glimpsed an opportunity—one that, if seized boldly enough, could catapult him straight past Jasmine, cementing his authority once and for all.“Charles,” Jessica said carefully, watching her son's eyes glint with ambition, “Jasmine’s already got a new product ready to launch. Don’t you think betting everything we have might be reckless?”“Mother,” Charles scoffed bitterly, rolling his eyes, “Jasmine’s just bluffing. Whatever she's cooked up can only be some pathetic imitation scraped together from our leftover research data.”“Sure, Alex might have a knack for patching up bodies, but this is pharmaceutical science, not some street-level stitching.”“Without real professors backing them, they’re just throwing darts blindfolded. Besides, SkinDew’s patent is firmly in Jericho’s grasp now—and he's already sold it off to that Chicago lord.”

“Dr. Joane,” Jasmine purred with a coy smirk, leaning forward with predatory grace.“This information is our company's deepest secret. But, if you're willing to join us formally, I'll gladly reveal the mastermind behind Emerald Elixir—provided he's willing to show his hand.”“You certainly know how to play your cards, don’t you?” Joane retorted bitterly, recognizing Jasmine’s carefully laid trap.“Alright, hand me the damn contract. I'll sign.”Jasmine’s secretary swiftly produced the document, and Joane scrawled her signature, sealing her fate.Meanwhile, Jasmine cast a mischievous glance toward Alex, eyes glinting with cunning amusement. “Can I reveal the genius behind our elixir now?”Alex scowled faintly, irritated by Jasmine’s blatant manipulation.Clearly, she viewed him as nothing more than bait to ensnare Dr. Joane.“Fine,” Alex sighed resignedly. “Given my stake in this venture, I suppose I can't refuse.”“Thanks, Alex. I keep owing you more and more,” Jasmine teased, winking

An hour earlier, Sophia had stepped quietly out of the hospital doors, a ghostly shadow haunted by restless thoughts.For days, she'd kept her family at arm's length, erecting an invisible barrier around her wounded heart.Her soul felt raw, tormented by relentless doubts about Alex.Perhaps she had always been unfair, perhaps she should have trusted him sooner.After all, their marriage was already torn to shreds; yet, somewhere deep inside, she knew Alex deserved an apology far greater than her pride allowed.Paying a discreet detective employed by her family, Sophia easily uncovered the small clinic Alex ran near the slums.Guided by the instructions of her GPS, she drove slowly through the grimy streets, her eyes hollow with anticipation and dread.As she approached, the sight of bodyguards patrolling the perimeter, stern-faced and vigilant, set her pulse racing.Her heart twisted painfully upon glimpsing Jasmine standing intimately close to Alex, radiating confidence and allure.

Alex watched with icy indifference as Owen’s bodyguards surged forward and snatched the ornate box from his hand. He let them have it—this once.“You ignorant little quack,” Owen spat venomously, his sneer sharp enough to slice through steel."Heaven Root isn't just some miracle herb—it’s the ultimate treasure for warriors like us. You, a pathetic excuse for a doctor, couldn’t appreciate its worth even if it bit you in the ass!"Smugly, Owen slapped the box with contemptuous triumph.“Uncle Jericho’s already handed this over to me. It’s mine now, doctor boy.”Instead of exploding into fury, Alex’s lips twisted into a chilling, knife-edged smile directed straight at Jericho Kane.“Fool me once—shame on you. Twice—shame on me. But thrice? Then I'm the goddamn fool.”He strode past Jericho, leaning in close enough to whisper venomous words straight into his trembling ear.“If that Heaven Root isn't in my hand before I leave this cursed mansion, don't blame me when your bloodline ends thr
