Hoshika Jewelry Building.

Office of the Chairman.

The office overlooked Lunada's financial district, its glass walls reflecting the late afternoon sun. Inside, the atmosphere was relaxed—almost celebratory.

Cassy sat on the edge of Kazuki's desk, slowly swirling the wine in her glass.

Kazuki stood by the window, hands in his pockets, watching the skyline with a faint smile.

"It should be about time," Cassy said, her voice carrying quiet excitement.

She took a small sip.

    "Ms. Veronica… why do you look so pale? As if you've seen a ghost?" Dominic teased.Veronica fell silent.Dominic continued, his tone calm but cutting."Twenty years ago, when Ms. Seraphina was born… didn't you give Manna a large sum of money to take her away and kill her? And then ordered her to leave the country and never show herself again?"Gasps filled the hall.Veronica's eyes widened.Dominic smiled faintly before continuing."But she didn't fully follow your orders. Instead of killing her, she brought Ms. Seraphina to the Lunada Orphanage… and then disappeared without a trace. That's why you couldn't find her, and the people you sent failed to kill her."He paused briefly."Oh—and you also planned to kill Manna to silence her, didn't you? Because you didn't trust her."A soft chuckle escaped him."But your mistake was underestimating her. You didn't expect Manna to actually board that plane and slip past your surveillance."He laughed lightly."Funny, isn't it? You watched so

    Veronica staggered back a step.Then another.Her composure cracked, disbelief flashing across her face."You?!" she said sharply. "How can it be you?! Where are they—"She stopped mid-sentence.Dominic stepped forward.Calm.Collected."They?" he repeated lightly. "They won't be coming."Veronica froze.Dominic smiled.Then continued."All the shares you sold to external families…"A slight pause."Were purchased by my boss."A ripple moved through the hall.Veronica's eyes widened slightly."How?" someone whispered.Dominic clasped his hands behind his back.His tone steady."For quite some time now… my boss has been investigating the Valeza family."His gaze flickered briefly toward Veronica."And naturally… that included you."A pause."The intimidation.""The pressure placed on internal shareholders.""The threats you used… to force them into selling their shares."Murmurs rose."We were aware of all of it," Dominic continued."And so…"A faint smile."Once you sold those shares

    All eyes turned toward the door.The heavy wooden panels opened slowly—And two figures stepped inside.A ripple of confusion spread across the hall.Veronica frowned.These were not the people she had arranged.Not the faces she expected.Her expression darkened.Seraphina froze.Surprise flickered across her face.Darius and Elena exchanged a glance.Equally stunned.At the center—The Grand Elder narrowed his eyes.Studying.Observing.His hand moved unconsciously to his long beard."…Why does he look familiar…" he murmured under his breath.The two men walked forward.Unhurried.Confident.The one in front—Tall.Composed.Dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit that seemed to absorb the light around him.Each step carried quiet authority.Beside him—Dominic Valemont.Equally striking.A sharp navy suit, posture relaxed yet imposing.Their entrance—Effortless.Yet impossible to ignore.For a moment—The entire hall seemed to pause.Several younger women stared openly.Eyes wi

    The Grand Elder looked at Veronica.For a moment, he said nothing.Then he shook his head."Veronica," he said, voice steady, "this is not the time for nonsense."The hall remained silent."When your daughter was still President," he continued, "she failed to manage her responsibilities properly."A pause."Several projects were started under her leadership.""But none were completed."His tone hardened slightly."They were initiated… and abandoned halfway."A faint sigh escaped him."If anything," he added, "it would be better for Danica to participate in the challenge.""To refine her abilities.""Because as she is now—"He looked directly at her."She is not fit to lead a corporation of this scale.""She should start small."—Danica's expression stiffened.A flicker of humiliation crossed her face.Her fingers curled slightly at her side.But she said nothing.—Veronica, however—Remained calm.Unmoved."Grand Elder," she said, her voice smooth, "you know very well… my daughter w

  • I Was Reborn To Marry This Annoying Man?   Chapter 172: Looking Forward

    The morning sun shone brightly outside, its golden light stretching across the vast grounds of the Valeza Residence. Yet inside the grand villa, the atmosphere burned even hotter—not with heat, but with anticipation.Members of the Valeza family gathered early.Unlike the previous banquet, today felt more restrained, more formal—but still undeniably alive. Conversations flowed in low voices, some seated casually with cups of coffee in hand, others standing in small groups, exchanging glances filled with expectation.There was no need for excessive grandeur.Everyone present belonged to the same bloodline.And today—Was not a celebration.It was a restoration.—At the center of the hall, the main seats had been arranged once again.Darius stood calmly, dressed in a dark suit, his posture straight, his expression steady. Beside him, Elena carried herself with quiet elegance. A few steps away stood Seraphina, composed, her presence naturally drawing attention even without effort.Acros

    Seraphina was about to speak—But what Lucien said next made her freeze."…I can't sleep," he said. "I can't eat properly. I can't focus on work."A pause."Because I miss you."Seraphina blinked.Once.Twice."…What?"Then—"LUCIEN!"She almost threw her phone.Her face flushed in disbelief."You made me worry for nothing?!"—On the other end—Lucien laughed.Soft.Amused."What?" he said casually. "It's a serious problem.""Serious?" Seraphina snapped. "You call that serious?!""I thought something happened to you!"Lucien chuckled again."Well, something did happen."A pause."I'm suffering.""Shut up.""You don't understand," he continued, clearly enjoying himself. "The house is too quiet. No one to argue with. No one to—""Lucien.""—look at me like I'm annoying.""Lucien!"He laughed again.This time louder.Seraphina exhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of her nose."I was actually worried…" she muttered."Good," Lucien replied lightly. "That means you care.""…You're unbeliev
