Just as James pondered what to do, he suddenly received three text messages.The first was from Grandma Deneuve: “Come to Deneuve Mansion now. I can help you solve Sophia’s problem.”The second was from Victoria, saying almost the same thing.And the third was from Merly, who simply said she was willing to help but reminded him not to forget the $50,000 transfer, or she would tell Sophia everything.The amount of money was insignificant for James, so he transferred it right away. He told Victoria to meet him at Deneuve Mansion.Inside Deneuve Mansion, Grandma Deneuve was calling George Spencer to join the meeting in the conference room with all the Deneuve family.James was there with one of his bodyguards, Victoria, and her father.Grandma Deneuve started the conference, “For now, we will focus our efforts on helping James solve all of Sophia’s problems so their marriage will not be delayed.”James quickly stood up, “Thank you, everyone, for your kind help.”He was an opportunist; if
Victoria excused herself to the private garden, away from the others. After making sure no one could hear, she dialed Lucas Gotti's number, which he had given her at their last meeting.“Hello,” answered a deep voice on the other end.“Lucas, it's Victoria.”“Yes, why do you call?”“I need you to let go of Jerry.”“Why?” he asked, his tone suspicious.“Because you cannot kill him yet.”“Do you want to save him?” Lucas's voice was sharp.“Of course not. He tried to poison me. I want him dead, but we can't kill him now. In two days, you can kill him without any problems.”“Explain,” Lucas demanded.“A member of the royal family, Alex, married Jerry’s cousin, Sophia Deneuve.”“The one all over the Blackwood news lately?” Lucas asked.“Yes, that's the one. If you release Jerry for two days, Sophia will sign the divorce papers tomorrow. After that, you can kill him or do whatever you want to their family without any backlash from the royal family.”“Are you sure about this?”“You can choos
One day before Sophia’s wedding, the entire empire was shocked by the latest news from the front line."The Empire's army, led by Second Prince Christopher, turned successful against the Drakonian Federation. Now, the Drakonian Federation is no more and has been renamed the West Archelion Empire.""They led a very successful military campaign. In just five days, they have total control of all of West Archelion and their borders with Nova, Southern, and Aslan countries."Alexander was sitting in the commanding aircraft, looking at the news with intense eyes."Right as always, Leader," Lavinia said. "You still don't want people to know you and your achievements.""I am the military leader. Once people know me, more assassins will come," Alex said firmly. "The only time I can freely expose my identity is when I control the whole world.""It won't be far away, Sir," Lavinia added with a confident nod. "With controlling West Archelion, we have doubled our military funds and soldiers.""Gre
On the day of the wedding, Grandma Deneuve and the entire Deneuve family were busy.They were calling all the reporters, worried that people might not know that Sophia Deneuve was marrying into the top-ranking noble family.Sophia looked around the royal Ritz hotel, everything feeling surreal. She had always thought she would marry Alex here, but now she was marrying James. Life had taken an unexpected turn.Victoria was becoming the bridesmaid. Inside the room, Sophia looked at Victoria’s happy face.“Are you really going to marry Alex?” Sophia asked.“Why ask?” Victoria responded. “You already divorced him and will soon marry James. Just forget the past.”“Will you be okay?” Sophia asked again. “He is poor.”“Well, although he is poor, my family is quite rich, and the most important thing is my father agrees with my choice. Not like you, your whole family rejected Alex.”“You are right.” Sophia replied sadly.“Don’t think too much. James is from a first-rank family and a noble. Your
Alex was on the single-use special aircraft, calling Lavinia, his personal assistant."Lavinia, where are you right now?""I am already at the Royal Ritz Hotel, sir. And there is a problem here that needs your attention," Lavinia said."Don't worry, I will arrive there in 10 minutes. I will solve the problem when I get there. For now, can you help me? Ask Keaton to prepare a place to land the plane on Royal Ritz Hotel.""Yes, sir, I will wait for you with Keaton.""Thanks."Alex was in a hurry as the meeting with the minister was taking longer than he thought.As he started to approach the Royal Ritz Hotel, he saw Keaton, the CEO of the Royal Ritz Hotel, had returned and activated the automatic detection landing for the plane.The device on the ground would connect with the aircraft detection system and ensure an automatic landing with precision, helping to smooth the landing.When he landed his private plane, he was shocked to see many people in the back garden of the Royal Ritz Hote
Alex saw some people he knew and they wanted to stand and salute, but he secretly signaled for everyone to stay seated. The people, including the general, remained in their chairs.He walked to the front, approaching James and Sophia.“Toilet fixer! What are you doing here? Get out from here!” Grandma Lancaster yelled angrily. “Don’t cause trouble at their wedding!”Tommy also stepped forward. “Alex, Sophia has divorced you. You don’t have any right to be here. Please leave.”But Alex ignored him and walked past Tommy.“Jerry, drag that person away,” Grandma commanded.Jerry tried to tackle Alex, but with a quick movement, Alex launched a swift hit, knocking Jerry out instantly. Jerry couldn't do anything to stop Alex's advance.“Guards, guards!” Grandma Deneuve yelled, calling for security. As the guards rushed in, Keaton was already in the room, commanding the guards to back off.Grandma Deneuve was furious, realizing no one could remove Alex.“What is happening here?” Alex asked, s
Fifteen minutes ago, George Spencer was in a private meeting with the Blackwood governor when Alex stopped the wedding.Preston quickly looked to his father for help.After explaining that Alex dared to stop the wedding, even the governor, who wanted to get into George's good graces for the pie of Blackwood mega project, yelled, “Show me who this man is! I will kick him out of Blackwood!”Together, they walked to the Sophia’s wedding venue, missing the Peter Roskov tragedy.As soon as George saw Alex, he yelled, “I am the General Manager of the Eden Group! How dare you stop my son's wedding!”A fat man approached Alex with arrogance. “You dare to stop my adopted son's wedding? Do you know who I am?”“No, I don’t,” Alex replied coldly. “And do you know who I am?”The fat man laughed. “I don’t need to know who you are, but you need to know, I am the Governor of Blackwood.”“Not anymore.” Alex said in a sharp tone.“Very funny. Do you think you can remove me from my position?” The fat ma
Ivan's hand jerked as a bullet hit his shoulder, his gun clattering to the floor.Alex stood with his gun smoking, having fired the shot just in time to save Victoria's father.At the same moment, many people in the room were already drawing their handguns, especially the military general and their bodyguards.This caused James, Sophia’s classmate, and the other non-military people to look fearful as suddenly many handguns were aimed at Ivan Romanov.As Alex kept his gun on his back, everyone followed suit and returned to their seats, hiding their guns once again.Victoria was already in shock, wondering if this was a wedding venue or a cowboy bar, with more than half the people here carrying guns."Arrest him," Alex commanded, his voice icy. "No one is above the law, not even nobles. Make sure to check him thoroughly."Keaton's guards swiftly moved in, securing Ivan Romanov and taking him away.Alex sighed and looked at Sophia. "Any other problems?" he asked."No," Victoria added.So
