Chapter 48: The Stolen Safe

Rain lashed against the heavy tinted windows of the expensive silver sedan parked two streets away from the main estate.

Inside the dark car, Beatrice Vance sat frozen in the leather passenger seat, her eyes fixed on the digital clock on the dashboard. Her expensive silk blouse was rumpled at the collar, her golden hair straying wild from its neatly pinned bun. She looked entirely disheveled, her fingers twitching frantically against the leather handbag resting on h

    Chapter 63She yanked the heavy door open, pulled Leo out into the dark, rainy night, and slammed it shut with a loud metallic bang that echoed through the empty garage.Silence filled the freezing space again, heavy and suffocating.Ethan stood on the cold concrete floor, his chest moving up and down in frantic, shallow gasps. Sweat poured down his neck, soaking his dirty collar. His heart hammered against his ribs like a trapped animal.Five thousand dollars.It might as well have been five million.He staggered backward, dropping heavily onto an oil drum. He pressed his face into his rough, dirty palms, a choked, pathetic sob tearing from his throat. Everything was gone. His dignity, his mother's wealth, his position—and now his son was about to be ripped away, too.A soft, wet cough came from behind the stack of old tires.Ethan lifted his head slowly.Beatrice shuffled out from the shadows, her feet dragging against the dirty concrete. She looked twenty years older than she had t

  • Apocalypse Rebirth: Ex Husband Regrets    CHAPTER 62

    Chapter 62: Anna’s Desperate UltimatumEthan crouched on a damp, grease-stained concrete floor inside an abandoned auto repair shop on the far edge of the industrial district. The air smelled of old motor oil, wet rust, and rotting tires. Overhead, the cold night rain rattled violently against the cracked fiberglass roof panels. He had been hiding here since his former driver dropped him off at the curb, refusing to take him a single mile further without cash.The rusting metal side door creaked loudly on its hinges, scraping against the gravel as Anna stepped inside. She wore a thin denim jacket with a torn zipper, her arms wrapped tightly around her waist to keep out the chill. Behind her, five-year-old Leo dragged a heavy, stuffed yellow bear across the dirty floor, his small shoes squeaking on the wet concrete."He's cold, Ethan," Anna said, her voice sharp and trembling. She kicked the heavy door shut behind her, not bothering to wipe the water from her face. "He hasn't had a war

    Chapter 61Alexander stood beside the desk, staring at the phone, then looking up at Aria with deep awe and faint dread. "They will actually do it. The sheer amount of money you offered will make those drivers run red lights all the way from Iowa.""Money is just paper, Alexander," Aria whispered, looking out the dark window at the heavy rain pelting the glass. "It only has value while the people out there still believe in the government that prints it. Soon, a hundred million dollars won't buy a single loaf of bread.""Shall I prepare the security team for the northern distribution warehouse?" Alexander asked, pulling out his pen."No," Aria said firmly. "I will go to the warehouse alone at midnight. I want the site completely cleared of all staff, drivers, and security guards by eleven-thirty. Tell the warehouse manager that I am conducting a private inventory audit with an offshore logistics team."Alexander frowned slightly. "Alone, Miss Evelyn? A dark industrial park at midnight

    Chapter 60: The System Quest - Meat & ProteinAria sat in the high-backed leather chair behind her massive oak desk, her eyes fixed on the empty space right in front of her face. The heavy velvet curtains were drawn shut against the cold gray morning, leaving the room illuminated only by a single brass desk lamp and the faint, blue glow of a screen that nobody else could see.The translucent light hovered silently in the air, its sharp white text floating before her eyes.[SYSTEM MISSION TRIGGERED]OBJECTIVE: Acquire and store 1,000 Tons of Processed Frozen Meats (Beef, Pork, Poultry).TIME LIMIT:** 48 Hours.REWARD: Automatic Meat Preservation Field & High-Tier Survival Asset Access.FAILURE PENALTY: System Reserve Lockout for 30 Days.---Aria didn't blink. She reached out, her slim, pale hand resting on the smooth silver surface of her laptop.One thousand tons. It was a staggering number. That wasn't just a few truckloads or a regional supermarket supply—that was an industrial mo

    Chapter 59"Mother..." Aria sobbed softly, her voice trembling with emotion. "Oh, Mother... how could you do this?"Beatrice stared up at her, her jaw working silently before she burst out into a harsh, bitter scream. "Don't you dare call me Mother! You evil, fake little cobra! You did this! You put those fake diamonds in the drawer! You wanted me to take them!""Mrs. Vance, quiet down now!" Hector warned, stepping between Beatrice and Aria. "One more outburst like that and I will have you moved straight to a holding cell!""No, Detective, please don't be harsh with her," Aria begged, reaching out with a delicate, shaking hand to touch Hector‘s sleeve. Her voice was full of desperate forgiveness. "She isn't herself. Please understand... she has suffered so much loss in the last few days. Her mind is confused."Beatrice’s eyes bulged with rage. "My mind is fine! You stole my house! You ruined my family!""I didn't steal anything, Mother," Aria cried, dabbing at her eyes with her handke

    Chapter 58: The Police InterrogationThe metal chair was cold, hard, and scraped loudly against the linoleum floor every time Beatrice shifted her weight. She sat in the middle of the small room, her arms wrapped tight around her chest as she tried to stop shaking. The air smelled like burnt coffee, damp wool, and bleach. Overhead, a single fluorescent bulb hummed, buzzing loudly in the quiet space.Detective Hector sat across the scratched wooden table, flipping slowly through a folder. He didn't look up right away. He just tapped his pen on the table, letting the rhythmic click fill the small room."So," Detective Hector said, setting his pen down with a loud snap. "Beatrice Vance. Is that correct?"Beatrice pulled her wet coat tighter around her neck. Her hair stuck to her cheeks in messy strands, and her lips were blue from the rain. "I am Beatrice Vance. And this whole thing is a complete mistake. I demand to call my personal lawyer this instant.""You can call whoever you want
