The Astonishing Dax Edmund Chapter 66
Octavian Ravenscroft was not the sort of man Dax Edmund had expected to see. For one, he was impeccably groomed, his hair perfectly coiffed and his suit freshly pressed. Even his nails were neatly manicured. There was a cold, calculating gleam in his eye that seemed to penetrate the very core of Dax's being. He was sitting in a chair that looked far too comfortable for a prison setting, his hands folded neatly in his lap. He was the picture of restraint, yet there was an air of menace about him. Dax's gaze remained unwavering as he addressed Octavian, his tone firm, "Octavian, let's not waste time on theatrics. I want to know who's behind the attempt on my life, and I have reason to believe you can provide answers."Octavian, his smug grin not fading, raised an eyebrow. "Oh, I'm sure you have your suspicions, but you're in no position to make demands, Dax. I have my own interests to protect."Dax leaned forward, his voice laced with a touch of steel, "Octavian, you're already behind

The woman hesitated, then turned and led Dax to a small alcove at the back of the cellar. There, hidden away from view, was a single bottle of wine. It was covered in dust, and the label was faded and nearly illegible. "What is it?" Dax asked. "It's a bottle of 18th century Burgundy," the woman said, her voice hushed. "It's been in our family for generations, and it's never been opened." Dax looked at the bottle, intrigued. "How much is it worth?" he asked. The woman smiled."It's priceless," the woman said. "It's not for sale." Dax smiled. "I'm not interested in buying it," he said. "I'm interested in drinking it." The woman looked at him, shocked. "Are you insane?" she asked. "That wine is over two hundred years old! It could be poisonous." Dax just shrugged. "Only one way to find out," he said. The woman hesitated, then sighed. "I can't let you drink that wine," she said. "It's a family heirloom." Dax cocked his head."If you insist," Dax said, reaching for his wallet. The wo

Just then, his phone rang. It was Shannon, calling from home.Dax hesitated for a moment, knowing that talking to Shannon would only make things more complicated. But he couldn't bring himself to ignore her call."Hi, honey," he said, trying to keep his voice steady. "How are you?""I'm worried about you, Dax. I know you're under a lot of pressure right now, and I just want to make sure you're okay," Shannon said, her voice full of concern."I appreciate your concern, Shannon, but I'm fine," Dax said, hoping he sounded more convincing than he felt.

He knew that Shannon could see right through him, no matter how hard he tried to hide his emotions."Dax, I know you're not telling me the whole truth," she said, her voice soft but firm.

Dax took a deep breath and considered his answer carefully. "I'm still processing everything that's happened, and it's not easy. But I'm committed to doing what's best for the company, and that means working with Seamus. I'm not going to pretend that everything is fine, but I'm willing to put the past behind us and focus on the future.

He grabbed the phone and hurled it against the wall, watching it shatter into pieces. He sank to the floor, burying his head in his hands. He felt completely alone, and he didn't know how to get himself out of this mess. In that moment, he realized that his anger and resentment were only hurting him. He knew he had to find a way to let go of his negative feelings, but he didn't know where to start. Suddenly, a memory flashed through his mind.

As Seamus offered to sponsor the party, Dax couldn't help but feel suspicious. He knew that Seamus had ulterior motives, and he suspected that the offer of sponsorship was just a ploy to put him in debt. Dax didn't want to be beholden to Seamus, and he certainly didn't want to give him any leverage over him.HDax narrowed his eyes, his jaw clenched. "I don't want your money, Seamus. I don't want anything from you. You've done enough damage."Seamus's smile faltered, and for a moment, his facade of calm composure slipped away. "I know I made mistakes, Dax. I've been trying to make things right. I just want to help."Dax scoffed. "Your help is tainted. You can't buy your way back into my good graces. You should know that by now."Seamus's face was pale, and he looked truly distraught. "You're right. I know I can't buy your forgiveness. But please don't shut me out completely. I'm not the same person I was before, and I want to prove that to you."Dax shook his head. "I'm done talking a

"I'm so sorry, Maureen. I never meant to hurt you or Dax. I was just worried about the future of the family business, and I made a terrible mistake." Seamus said, his eyes brimming with regret.Maureen gazed at him coldly. "Worried? You lied to everyone and dragged Dax's name through the mud. If you were worried, you should have talked to us instead of trying to destroy him."Shannon stepped forward, her eyes blazing. "Dad, I can't believe you did this. Dax is the best thing that's ever happened to me, and you tried to ruin his life. How could you?" She glared at him, her voice shaking with anger.Seamus hung his head, the shame written all over his face. "I know, Shannon. I know I messed up. But I want to make things right. I want to do whatever it takes to earn your forgiveness, both of you."Maureen and Shannon exchanged a look, their faces etched with doubt. Dax had been the perfect husband and father, and Seamus had betrayed them in the worst way. Could they ever forgive him?"It

She felt embarrassed that she had believed the lies that Seamus had told, and she felt even worse that she had considered telling Dax to give up and just let her father win. But as she thought about it more, she realized that Dax had been the one who had been honest and fair, and that her father had been the one who was acting dishonorably. She began to see that she had been blinded by her loyalty to her father, and that Dax had been the one who was truly honorable all along."I'm so sorry for everything that happened, Dax," Shannon said. "I never meant to hurt you or make you feel like you weren't good enough. I was just blinded by my loyalty to my father, and I didn't see things clearly. Please, will you forgive me?" Dax smiled at her. "Shannon, there's nothing to forgive. I understand how hard this must have been for you, and I admire you for doing the right thing.Dax was surprised when he received an invitat

"You'll see that no one will want to do business with you," Seamus continued. "No one will want to use your platform, and you'll be ruined."Dax felt like the walls were closing in on him. He knew he had to do something to defend himself. "You can't do this," he said, his voice shaking. "It's not fair. It's not right."Seamus just shrugged. "It's business, Dax. And you're in my way."Dax felt like he was going to explode."I'm not going to let you ruin me," Dax said, trying to sound confident. "I'll fight back. I'll show everyone that you're the one who's lying. I'll expose you for the fraud that you are."Seamus laughed, a cruel, mocking laugh. "You think you can take me on? You're nothing but a small fry. You're out of your league here."Dax's hands were shaking with anger. He felt like he was about to lose control."Just watch me," he said, his voice low and dangerous.It was true, Dax couldn't bring himself to hate Seamus.

She was clearly troubled, and Dax could tell something was bothering her. "What's wrong?" he asked."I need to talk to you about your new project," Shannon said, looking down at her hands. "I'm not sure it's a good idea."Dax's heart sank. He had hoped that Shannon would be supportive of his idea. "What do you mean?" he asked, trying to keep his voice calm."I just don't think it's going to work," Shannon said, her voice shaking. "I don't want to see you get your hopes up, only to have them crushed."Dax sat down, feeling deflated."Why don't you think it will work?" Dax asked, trying to keep his voice level. "What are your specific concerns?"Shannon hesitated, then took a deep breath. "I just don't think it's feasible," she said. "It sounds like a lot of work, and I'm not sure it will pay off in the end. I know you're passionate about it, but I'm worried that you're setting yourself up for disappointment."Dax looked at her, trying to hide his disappointment. "But what if it does wor
