Cassandra bit her lip hard. She had only wanted to help the Hamilton family settle this matter, hoping to earn favor with them and prove that her family wasn’t the trouble Drake’s mother always claimed they were. But instead, everything had fallen apart. If Drake’s mother found out what happened, she would never stop despising her.

“Cassie, please!” Lucian's voice trembled as he dropped to his knees before her. “If you call Drake, this matter can still be fixed. I swear, I will never gamble again. I swear by the moon goddess!” His hand rose in a desperate pledge, his eyes wide with fear. “Sis, please save our family. I beg you.”

The scent of fear and shame rolled off Lucian in waves. He had brought ruin upon them again, yet he was still her family. She could not simply turn away.

She finally nodded, and she said, “I will see how much I can gather, then I’ll call Drake.”

Cassandra knew once Drake learned of this, there would be no need in hiding it anymore. The only thing left was to m

    “Drake has been helping Lucian all along,” her aunt said, clutching Cassandra’s wrist. “Doesn’t he do that for me? How can helping Lucian be a mistake?”“Aunt, you’re not seeing it clearly,” Cassandra said, her tone strained. “Drake isn’t doing this for us anymore. He’s doing it for himself.”Her aunt’s eyes widened, flashing the faint golden hue of her wolf’s worry. “You must talk to him, Cassandra! You see how your uncle hasn’t woken up yet. If he opens his eyes and learns that his deal with Durok Biotech is no longer active … if he finds out that Mitchell Pharmaceuticals is now using the factory and the machines we bought with our own claws, it might kill him!”Cassandra could smell her aunt’s fear.“Aunt,” Cassandra whispered, her voice shaking, “let Mitchell Pharmaceuticals come in quickly. It’s still not too late. If Hamilton Corporation collapses, the Travers Group will fall too. When that happens, no one will be left standing.”Her aunt looked away. Cassandra could feel the we

    Elena’s fingers moved quickly across her phone screen as she responded to Diego's message.“Please follow Miriam's instructions, and know how to handle Lucian while I’m away…” Elena responded. Then the doorbell rang sharply.“Ding dong”Startled, Elena placed her phone down, but Diego asked her to sit back while he hurried toward the door.When he opened it, standing there was Dolphus and beside him Aaron stood silently, a suitcase nearly as tall as him resting at his side.Diego immediately excused himself and left.Dolphus’s large hand rested gently on the boy’s head. Elena welcomed them, then bent down immediately as she scooped Aaron into her arms. The boy clung to her neck.“I can handle this from here,” Dolphus murmured, stepping forward to take the suitcase from him.Elena kept her tone calm as she asked, “Have you arranged all of the company’s affairs?”“Don’t worry,” Dolphus replied. “Everything has been handled. I haven’t taken a break in years, but this will help out. If

    "I never knew that it was that serious!" Cassandra whispered."You better not interfere again, Cassandra. If my company survives this crisis, I’ll consider letting your family's company off the hook. But if we fail to deliver to Durok Biotech company on time, not even the Moon Goddess herself can save your family."Drake was about to start his car when his phone rang sharply. "Hello," Drake answered.Whatever came through the line darkened his expression. "No worries. I’ll handle it... Yes, I understand." Drake responded. When the call ended, he didn’t take a breath. Instead, he dialed another number. "Get in touch with the Travers family," he ordered his assistant. "Tell them that Mitchell Pharmaceuticals must enter the site this afternoon. My manager and I reached out to them two days ago, so they agreed to work with us. Currently, Farrington Corporation is out of the picture. So that's the situation at hand now. But if the Travers family resists our change of plan, then we’ll ch

    Drake’s mother had just returned from the outer borders when her eyes landed on Cassandra sitting quietly in the living room.Cassandra quickly lowered her gaze out of respect. “Good evening, Mrs Hamilton.”Thinking that Mrs Hamilton's anger was because of her family’s latest issue, Cassandra hurried to explain. “I went to the company but found out that Drake wasn’t there, so I came here to wait for him. I wanted to ask if Travers Group could assist in any way. After all, it was Lucian who caused this mess, and I’m afraid it might affect the accord with Durok Biotech Company.”“What trouble has that boy stirred up now?” Mrs Hamilton asked sharply.Cassandra was startled by Mrs Hamilton's sudden outburst. “There... um... There are some issues with the Travers Group’s funds.”Though Drake’s mother had been out of business affairs long ago, she still knew every thread that tied their pack’s fortune together.The contract between the Hamilton Corporation and Durok Biotech Company required

    Elena turned off the television, the last of Simeon's words fading into silence.Lexa had been spending her days with Seraphina and Elder Farrington. Ever since their trip to the amusement park, the old Gamma had found a new spark of joy in his golden years. So, when she said she loved the amusement park, Elder Raphael Farrington decided to build one just for her.There was no arguing with Elder Farrington when his heart was set on something. Elena sighed quietly. She could only watch helplessly as he began planning to build an amusement park for her little Lexa.The house was peaceful for a while. But that peace shattered when the sharp ring of the doorbell echoed through the house.Ding-dong.Elena frowned. No one usually visited without notice. She rose and padded gracefully to the door. When she opened it, she was surprised by who was standing before her. That was Drake's mother .“Mrs Hamilton,” Elena greeted politely, lowering her gaze out of respect.But the older woman didn’t
