Lyra's voice shook with anger as she said, "Yesterday, you claimed the invitation card and the jewelry were from you. And now you're saying that BioHealth Solutions—a company that's been profitable every day and has a long history as one of the best in Vancouver—is going bankrupt."

She laughed bitterly.

"Really? You're going to such lengths to blame Chris! I have to admit, you're consistent."

Alex's expression turned cold as he looked at them through the screen of his phone.

"Kingston will cut ties with BioHealth. It'll become a worthless company," he said flatly.

"Cut off by the Kingston family?"

"A useless company?"

One by one, disbelief spread through the room.

"Nonsense, all of it is nonsense. How could Kingston cut a decade-long collaboration while my father is in Los Angeles opening a new Kingston branch?" Chris asked sharply.

"Alex," Jack called out, "everyone except you knows that BioHealth is doing well—even better than our Lancaster company. I suggest you keep quiet before C

    "Alex, these are the divorce papers Sophia prepared. All you need to do is sign them," Lyra said, placing the documents on the café table."Where is Sophia?" Alex asked, his eyes fixed on Lyra.Despite her undeniable beauty, every word she spoke dripped with venom."She's busy transferring money. Listen, Alex," Lyra leaned in, her voice icy."While I'm still being civil, just sign the papers. End this. You can't keep scamming her. For God's sake, let her go!"Alex sighed. His only reason for marrying Sophia was to find clues about his mother and to honor his master's wish."If she wants a divorce, she should tell me herself," he replied calmly.Lyra shook her head. "I know you're not happy about this, but just accept it. You're not right for her. Don't make this harder—just sign the papers."He crossed his arms, sensing her disdain.Maybe she didn't just hate him; maybe she despised all men without wealth."Alex, stop dragging this out!""You can yell all you want, but I need to hear

    Alex sat at a café table, his mind drifting as fragments of his memory began to unravel.He couldn't quite recall his mother's face, but he remembered this medallion she had given him."Alex, if you ever get lost, use this medallion to find your way home." Her voice had been urgent, full of warning.He remembered her telling him to hide, someone was chasing them. But who? He couldn't piece it together.The next memory was of him waking up at the orphanage, the medallion already gone from his possession.These must have been his memories before he ended up there.Touching the cold surface of the medal, Alex knew he had to track it down to find his mother and reclaim his past.Suddenly his phone rang."Alex," Jasmine's voice was soft but tense."Yes?""Can you help me by accompanying me to my banquet?"Alex wanted to refuse, but he remembered his promise to Abraham—to ensure the Kingston partnership was handed over to the Lancasters, even though Sophia had divorced him.His mission to f

    It was evening at Heaven, the most exclusive club in Vancouver—a place where only the wealthiest mingled.The building resembled a colossal glass dome, showcasing the splendor of the night sky—though the view could be adjusted to suit any desired theme.Tonight, it was transformed for a "Royal Gathering," replicating a banquet celebrating a king, a queen, and a princess's first public appearance.The décor was classic yet elegant, adorned with sculptures inspired by antiquity, exuding an air of grandeur.Guests began to arrive, strolling through the gardens and admiring the fountains and ornate decorations.A sleek black Mercedes pulled up to the entrance, where the red carpet awaited.A stunning woman in an elegant evening gown stepped out, immediately drawing every gaze.Shortly after, another equally beautiful woman arrived, capturing everyone's attention."Who are those gorgeous women? Are they famous actresses?" a reporter whispered, snapping photos rapidly."That's Sophia Lancas

    Sophia just wanted to ask Alex politely—just as her grandfather had advised—about who he really was.It dawned on her that she'd been prejudiced against him from the start, never giving him a fair shot.Maybe there was still something worth salvaging.But did Alex have to make everything so damn difficult?"Alex, I get it—you hate me for divorcing you, and now you're parading your new arm candy around to rub it in my face. Do you realize this is exactly why I left you?" Sophia didn't hold back."My mistake, huh?" Alex raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance."I gave you countless chances to redeem yourself, but you were too clueless to get it!" she snapped, her patience wearing thin."A chance?" Alex looked genuinely puzzled."Can't you see? I tried to talk to you in private, but instead, you flaunt your ego and make everything worse," Sophia's tone was icy. Her CEO pride wouldn't let her back down, especially not with Jasmine hanging off his arm like that."So let me get this straight—

    Lyra, standing beside Chris, suddenly chimed in, "Chris, your wedding is tomorrow. Maybe try not to ogle every woman who crosses your path?"Chris frowned, shooting her an annoyed glance. "Since when is being nice a crime?""Nice? There's a fine line between being nice and being a creep," Lyra retorted, firmly siding with Sophia."Fine," Chris muttered, knowing his little trick wasn't working. He turned back to Jasmine."Gorgeous," he called out, flashing a grin. "How about you join us? That man there is undeserving of your attention. He’ll only try to scam your money."Jasmine gently touched Alex's chin and smiled."Oh, Alex," she said softly. "All I have is money. If that's the only reason you'll give me your attention, just name your price. I have a hundred million with me now. If that’s not enough, just tell me—I still have some more at home.""Lady," Chris interrupted suddenly, trying to sound suave."You're beautiful, and you don’t need to give money just to get attention.

    "Let’s just forget him," Sophia said, her mood already souring.She realized she'd never understand that jerk. "The banquet is about to start. Let’s find our seats."The banquet was set with round tables, each seating about six guests.The closer the table to the front, the more important the guests were.To Sophia and Lyra's shock, when they checked their invitation cards, they were assigned to the very front—the VIP table."Chris, your father really pulled some strings to get us the best invitations, didn’t he?" Sophia commented.Chris wore a proud expression. "Of course, my father is very important to the Kingstons. That’s why I told you not to worry about the partnership—you’ll have it."As they moved toward the front, they were stunned to find Jasmine and Alex already seated at their table, laughing and talking closely."Alex," Chris approached, irritation clear in his voice. "Do you know this table is reserved for special invitations only? How dare you sit here? And how did you

    "Alex," Jasmine nudged him urgently."Quick, how do I respond? This is the first time in my life someone has called me poor."Alex glanced at her. Jasmine Kingston—the wealthiest heiress in Vancouver—had probably never heard that word directed at her."Just smile and say 'thank you,'" Alex suggested calmly."Really?" she asked, eyes wide with feigned innocence."Absolutely. When they go low, we go high."Jasmine turned back to Chris with a graceful smile."Thank you for calling me poor. This is a new experience for me."Chris's face flushed crimson.He slammed his fist on the table. "Are you dense? When someone calls you poor, you're supposed to feel insulted, ashamed!""Why should I feel that way?" Jasmine replied, tilting her head slightly."I'm not poor."Chris, barely containing his frustration, threw his hands up. “You really have no brain, do you?"Jasmine turned to Alex, her gaze curious. "Alex, do you think I have no brain?""Not at all. In fact, I think you're much sharper th

    Chris's hands trembled as he stared at Jasmine. If he'd known who she truly was, he would never have dared to insult her—not even with a gun to his head.His mother and grandfather would kill him for destroying their generational wealth.Jasmine Kingston's voice remained steady as she continued, "And for the business partner in our new medical line, we've carefully chosen the Emerson Group as the best fit for us. Please welcome Lily Emerson as our new partner..."The hall erupted in applause.From one table came happiness and uncontained joy, while at the other, murmurs of disappointment filled the air.There were winners and losers, with every family vying for the same prize.Especially Sophia. Her face turned ashen, as if all the blood had drained away.She had paid a hefty $100 million to secure the partnership, and now she had nothing to show for it.The Lancasters wouldn't survive after she had drained all their cash and savings.Even the Biohealth deal she'd secured was headed f

    “Wonderful!” Joane gasped, eyes blazing with awe as she took in Alex's extraordinary display of skill.His perfect methods were nothing short of revolutionary.She, a doctor who arrogantly believed herself to have peaked in medicine, suddenly felt humbled and hopeful—like a blind woman seeing the sun for the first time.“Bella! How are you feeling? Any pain or discomfort?” Jericho’s voice cracked, disbelief and cautious joy battling inside him.Lidia stood trembling beside him, her eyes wide and glistening.Neither had dared to dream of a miracle—yet now one stood defiantly before them.“Dad… Mom… this is crazy. I don't feel weak anymore! It's gone!” Bella touched herself frantically, amazement painting her face.Her heart thumped loudly, stronger and more alive than she'd ever known.“Oh, thank heavens! It's truly gone!” Lidia cried out, voice choked with gratitude. She nearly fell to her knees, intending to grovel before Alex.“No, Mrs. Kane—please!” Alex swiftly stepped forward, ge

    “What?”All eyes snapped toward the bed, and a collective gasp filled the room.Bella, whose complexion had shown signs of life mere moments before, now lay grotesquely pale, blood trickling ominously from her nose and mouth.Her delicate features twisted with agony, the vivid crimson contrasting cruelly against her ashen skin.“What the hell is going on, Dr. Joane?” Jericho snapped, his voice tight and furious, eyes narrowed into dangerous slits.Joane stared at Bella, bewilderment and horror battling across her normally confident face."This—this doesn't make sense! Her heart was stable just minutes ago. How could she deteriorate this rapidly?"Jericho stepped forward aggressively, his fists clenched. “Then do something! Damn it, Joane, fix this before I kill you!”“Let me try again.” Joane, though shaken, quickly steadied her trembling hands and plunged into action once more, applying precise acupuncture points to reassert control over Bella’s failing heart.But the situation twist

    As Alex and Josephine crossed the threshold of the Kane estate, he spotted a semi‑circle of white coats—Vancouver’s medical aristocracy—clustered like ravens in the marbled foyer.“You’re finally here, young man! Come in, quickly!” Lidia cried, her smile nearly swallowing her face.A ripple of unease crawled down Alex’s spine before he forced it away.“You claimed you could cure my daughter,” Jericho said, his baritone iron‑hard. “If you can’t, admit it now.”“I stand by my word,” Alex answered, a calm smile cutting across his face. “But the Heaven Root is my price—yes or no?”Jericho possessed the Heaven Root, a relic‑rare herb.Fortune and patience had handed him a single piece, and only recently had it ripened enough to be swallowed.He guarded it for Bella’s future years, because every powerful family in the province would claw for it if they smelled the chance.“Fine,” Jericho said, frost edging each syllable. “Heal her, and the Heaven Root is yours. Fail, and God help you.”“You

    Lidia’s voice shook as she clutched Jericho’s sleeve.“What are we going to do now? Tell me Bella’s going to pull through, right?”Jericho leaned in, whispering through clenched teeth, “I don’t know,” his mind racing for any miracle he still hadn’t tried.His reservoir of inner inner energy was thinning to a dangerous trickle.Once that final spark died, Bella’s heartbeat would follow it into the darkness.Lidia’s gaze darted to the nightstand, where a crimson velvet box rested beside a handwritten note.The message, penned in Bella’s looping script, read, “If I’m ever in danger, use this pill.”She had even doodled a tiny red heart beside the words, her faith sealed in ink and emoji.“Jericho, we have to try this,” Lidia urged, snapping the lid open and lifting the bottle inside.It was the same elixir Alex had slipped Bella—her treasured keepsake, a vow of forever disguised as medicine.Jericho scowled. “A trinket from that punk?

    Alex looked at Bella and let out a weary sigh.He picked up a small glass bottle with a single pill inside and held it out to her.“If something happens to you,” he said quietly, “use this pill. But mark my words—this is just a temporary measure. You really do need help…and maybe I’m the only one who can provide it.”Bella’s heart fluttered, her breath caught in her throat, and before she could think twice, the words just tumbled out:“I believe in you.”Alex blinked, stunned. “…What?”Bella’s eyes widened. “I-I mean—yes! I… I have a heart condition,” she stammered, her cheeks turning a soft pink, like the sky before sunrise.“And I think… only you can fix it.”There was a long, awkward pause.Then, trying to recover, she waved her hands a little too fast.“N-not like that! I mean… not the mushy, love-struck kind of heart thing…”She looked away, biting her bottom lip, her voice dropping to a whisper.“I mean the real kind. The one that’s actually broken.”“A real, serious heart disea

    “Jericho Kane? What does he want with the Heaven Root?” Alex asked.“I heard his daughter’s suffering from a rare genetic heart condition, and he thinks the Heaven Root can save her,” Kelly explained, glancing at Alex.“Bella Kane?” Alex repeated.“Yes,” Kelly confirmed.Alex let out a weary sigh. He imagined Bella hiding her pain beneath an elegant façade. No wonder Jericho Kane spoiled her every whim and excused her worst habits.“Alex, how should we handle this?” Kelly asked, her tone unsettled by the news.“I’ve got to get my hands on that Heaven Root,” Alex declared without hesitation.“There’s no time to waste. I’ll head to Vermont today.”He stepped outside the clinic and was stunned to see a group of homeless men clashing with two brutish thugs lugging a drum.The looks on those thugs’ faces made it clear they were up to no good.“What’s going on here?” Alex demanded.“Doc, these two louts were about to pour oil around the clinic,” one of the homeless men said.“We figure they

    “Finally, Owen is here!” Bella let out a delighted laugh, her eyes shining with relief.“Bella! Scarlett! Are you alright?” The tall, broad-shouldered man rushed toward them, completely ignoring Alex as though he were invisible.He stood with a commanding presence, sharp-eyed and radiating an unmistakable air of nobility that set him apart from common folk.“We’re fine,” Bella answered, her voice bright with gratitude, “all thanks to Alex, who saved us.”“Oh, really?” Owen Whitman’s tone dripped with skepticism as he raked his gaze over Alex.“Bella, a man’s face doesn’t reveal his true character. You’d do well to steer clear of strangers.”Suddenly, Owen’s expression twisted. “Wait. I know you—aren’t you the Alex who had the nerve to slap Bella?”His eyes blazed with fury. “I’ve been searching everywhere for you after what you did to her.”Bella darted between Owen and Alex, her movements frantic.“Owen, stop it! It was my fault, and we’ve settled it already. My father forgave the wh

    A thunderous crash split the air as the glass doors of the center were smashed in, shards spraying across the floor.Without hesitation, ten masked assassins swept inside.“Damn it, they caught up to us!” Scarlett spat. They had been ambushed along the way to the slums, where their entire security detail was wiped out.Only she and Bella survived and managed to escape—or so they thought.The assassins refused to let them go.“Bella, I’ll hold them off,” Scarlett hissed. “You have to get out through the back door.”Bella’s face had gone pale. “If I run, you’ll definitely be killed. I’m their main target, so they won’t harm me. Let me be their hostage.”“Bella, I’m your bodyguard,” Scarlett said, planting herself in front of Bella with grim resolve.“My job is to protect you—so do as I say.”A cold, ragged voice interrupted them.“No need to argue. This place has no back door—you’re not going anywhere. We’ll be taking both of you.”A middle-aged man with a scarred face stepped in, laugh

    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
