The climax at the Blackwood Reservoir has reached its boiling point. In the flickering light of the shack, the past and present of the Martin family have finally collided in a spray of blood and lead.

"Is that so? I’d like to see who dares to lay a finger on her."

Liam Martin Sr.’s voice drifted in from the doorway, as gentle as a spring breeze yet carrying an underlying current of absolute authority.

Everyone in the room turned toward the sound. He looked impeccably clean, his clothes untouche

    Sarah Vance never expected to run into Arthur Vance near the restrooms. Or rather, it was more accurate to say that Arthur had been waiting there specifically to corner her.The Confrontation"Let go," Sarah snapped, wrenching her wrist from his grasp. Arthur’s hand was already bandaged; clearly, he had gone to the hospital and immediately doubled back to the club. His face remained as dark and sullen as it had been when he stormed out of the VIP suite."Stop right there," Arthur snarled, grabbing her again as she tried to walk away. "You’re quite something, Sarah. How long has it been, and you’ve already hooked up with Julian Thorne? After all that drama during our divorce, I thought you were deeply in love with me. I guess you’re just like any other woman."Sarah couldn't believe he had the nerve to say such things. "And what did you expect? For me to stay chaste for you until I’m old and gray? Do you honestly think a man like you is worth that kind of sacrifice?"Arthur’s rage flar

    The celebration that had once filled the private suite with laughter, music, and clinking glasses slowly began to quiet down as the clock crept toward 11:30 PM. The luxurious chandeliers still glowed warmly overhead, but the atmosphere had shifted from lively excitement to the sluggish exhaustion that always followed a long night of drinking.Empty wine bottles littered the table, along with half-finished cocktails and scattered snack plates. The air carried the lingering scent of expensive liquor and perfume.Donovan Tang was sprawled lazily across one end of the sofa, his collar loosened and his cheeks flushed red from alcohol. Julian Thorne, meanwhile, sat silently beside the floor-to-ceiling window, one arm draped casually over the armrest. Though he had consumed nearly as much alcohol as Donovan, there was not the slightest hint of drunken confusion in his sharp eyes.His gaze remained calm. Calculating.Compared to the men, Chloe Bishop and Sarah Vance looked completely unaffect

    The atmosphere in the suite reached a fever pitch as Donovan Tang finally set Chloe Bishop down. Watching Chloe’s empathetic embrace of Donovan, Xavier Grayson was consumed by a silent, boiling fury. To him, she was acting like a fool—the same kind of gullible "pig" who had been tricked by Liam Martin years ago.However, Xavier wasn't the only one seething. Zoe J. felt a stinging humiliation. Having just been rejected for a duet by Donovan, she was now forced to watch him tenderly carry Chloe around the room. The slow pace of his walk felt like a deliberate insult, a public declaration that even as a "divorced woman," Chloe still commanded the attention of Sea City’s most elite men—men Zoe desired for herself.The "Sibling" ShieldAs soon as Chloe’s feet hit the floor, her "friends"—led by Chen Wei, Song Mingzhe, and Lulu—erupted into a chant: "Get together! Get together!". Even Sarah Vance joined in the teasing.Chloe felt a massive headache forming. She glared at her friends, terrif

    Xavier Grayson had always held a deep-seated disdain for men who allowed themselves to become humble or compromised by women—whether it was Julian Thorne (Suitor), Donovan Tang, or even his own father. He viewed such displays with utter contempt.However, despite his supposed indifference, Xavier found himself watching intensely as Chloe Bishop rested her weight against Donovan Tang’s back, her hands draped over his shoulders. Donovan, a man of high stature and solid build with expert martial training, stood up effortlessly, carrying Chloe as if she weighed nothing at all.A Walk Through Memory LaneAs Donovan began his slow lap around the table, he ignored the prying eyes of the room and focused entirely on Chloe.The Early Years: Donovan teased her with childhood memories, recalling the first time he carried her when she was just learning to walk—and how she had accidentally wet his clothes.The School Days: He reminded her of her first day of kindergarten, where she had cried and i

    The women in the room were left in a state of profound disappointment; it was official—Xavier Grayson was the man none of them could have. Yet, there was a strange sense of collective relief that he hadn't chosen a single person among them.The most stung by this outcome was Zoe J. Her high expectations had crumbled into ash. Everyone had anticipated that Xavier would select her, but his declaration proved she was no different from any other "ordinary" woman in his eyes. To her, this wasn't just a missed opportunity; it was a public insult. Her grip on her glass tightened until her knuckles turned white.The Knight in ShadowsThe bottle spun again, and this time, the neck slowed until it pointed directly at Chloe Bishop. She furrowed her brow, glancing at Xavier, who was watching her with a faint, enigmatic smirk. She couldn't help but wonder: Could Xavier and Julian Thorne (Suitor) actually control this bottle?She drew a red card.Task: Perform a belly dance."Another dance?" Chloe

    The room erupted in silent anticipation. For the many single women present, this was the moment they had been waiting for. They looked at Xavier Grayson with expectant eyes, hoping his gaze would land on them. It wasn't just about his immense, nation-toppling wealth; his appearance and charisma alone were enough to make women flock to him. Moreover, since it was just a game, there were no consequences—simply being able to say, "I am the woman Xavier Grayson wanted but couldn't have," would be bragging rights for a lifetime.Meanwhile, the men in the room had a different perspective. They reasoned that since Xavier had already grown "tired" of Chloe Bishop, who else besides Zoe J. could possibly pique his interest?The Speculation War"Who do you think he'll pick?" Lulu whispered to Liam Vance. Liam glanced toward Chloe and snapped back irritably, "I don't know".Julian Thorne posed the same question to Chloe. When she noticed Xavier’s gaze flickering toward her, she recalled his persi
