Chapter 308

Author: Zesty Zing
After Amara left the meeting, the fallout didn't stop with Clara. The other sisters felt it as well.

Today was Diana's usual day to collect medication for Elara and Freya. Both sisters were still unconscious, and Amara, worried about their condition, had arranged for them to be transferred to the ICU.

ICU medications were distributed in scheduled batches rather than on demand. Because the Chamberlains owned shares in the hospital, Diana had always been able to walk in and take whatever she nee

    Amara fell silent before saying, "Something came up in the moment. Stanley said he wasn't interested in Clara."She couldn't bring herself to look directly at Diana. Love wasn't something you could plan in advance. She knew that.Even so, she had been too eager in the moment, too desperate to secure Stanley's goodwill, and she had agreed to his proposal on the spot.Over the past few days, Clara's desperate eyes had kept flashing through her mind. Deep down, she was no better off than Clara.Diana watched Amara avoid her gaze, and the anger in her chest burned hotter. "So you agreed to what Stanley asked. You accepted a proposal from the man Clara had feelings for."When had Amara ever been this reluctant to meet someone's eyes? That only happened when she knew she had done something wrong. It meant she felt guilty. It meant that, somewhere inside, she already knew she had let Clara down."It's not like that." Amara lifted her head sharply. "I only wanted what was best for our fa

    During the weeks Oscar had spent searching for sacred sites, he had let the outside world pass him by.As Sirius brought him up to date on everything that had happened, a cold smile spread across his lips."Stanley. Isn't he just one of Boreas' dogs? And he thinks he can marry my adoptive father's daughter?"His gaze shifted as he considered it. He had already pieced together the outline of Stanley's plan.By staying silent about Caleb's public statement, Stanley had effectively given the world permission to do whatever it wanted to the Chamberlains.On the surface, Stanley's actions seemed strange. At its core, however, it was simply another way to make life difficult for the family.Another obstacle dropped in their path. What was there to say about that?"Amara agreed to this?""She did. From what I heard, she originally planned for Clara to get engaged to Stanley. But Stanley said he wanted Amara specifically. That's how the engagement date was set."The cold smile never l

    Amara reached out and touched Oscar's fading form. His outline remained visible, but her hand passed straight through it.Oscar's phantom held out a cup of coffee, a quiet smile in his eyes. "Amara, have some coffee."As though he could sense her reaching for him, his smile deepened.Amara turned her face away. She could not bear to keep looking. As she did, the image dissolved.'Father always said that people are like plants,' she thought. 'At the height of their flourishing, they begin to wither. They return to the earth, enriching it, and the next season grows stronger because of it.'A family was much the same. At its peak, those who stood strongest reached down to lift the weakest among them. The depth of those roots was what kept a family standing. Oscar had been that weaker branch.When she went looking for Jason, she had intended to elevate the family. Instead, she had neglected Oscar and cut him off.Perhaps that was what Arthur meant when he said that every consequence

    "Three days from now." Amara walked over and rested a hand on Jason's shoulder. "We'll announce the engagement to Stanley at Jason's naming ceremony. We'll show Silverton that our family is not only still standing but also has a legitimate heir. We'll show them that we'll remain in this city for a century. Maybe a millennium."Jason felt something stir inside him. "Amara, we will. I know we will."His emotions had been all over the place these past few days. First, he had been running the correction program, then enduring everything it put him through.He had barely made it out before learning that the family was collapsing.He had watched everything fall apart, convinced it was over. Then they had managed to secure the support of a Draconox envoy. Now they were holding a naming ceremony in his honor, formally establishing him as the Chamberlain heir.With Draconox behind them, how far away could a good life really be?Jason smiled."Good. Keep at it. I'm going upstairs to rest.

    Irene drifted into the villa in a daze. The moment she saw it, she stopped.This was the second-finest property in Silverton, surpassed only by the Suffield estate.Then she remembered that Rebecca was the CEO of the Draconia Group, and her curiosity faded.Her thoughts were still tangled in memories of the shantytowns: the broken roofs, the mud, and the children dressed in little more than rags.Stranger still, an image had taken shape in her mind without her willing it: Amara standing over those people, driving them from their homes.'Is that where the family's wealth came from?' She thought about their current state and the cold look on Amara's face when she pushed her away. 'This is exactly what we deserved. Every bit of it.'She was grateful Oscar wasn't home. If he had been, how could she have explained why she came? To ask for help? What right did her family have to do that? To offer him protection? Did they have anything left to offer? To ask for shelter for herself? Coul

    Irene arrived at a conclusion she could hardly believe she had reached. "They brought it on themselves."George looked at her coldly. "The compensation was generous enough. But how much of it actually reached the people it was meant for?""All of it, surely. I heard from my sis— From a friend that the payouts were distributed household by household," she said."That's right." His voice carried not a trace of emotion. "Distributed household by household. But money changes people. If your household suddenly doesn't exist anymore, are you going to show up and claim your share?"Something sank in Irene's chest. "What do you mean, doesn't exist?""The breadwinner gets beaten until he can't stand. Or worse, if he still won't cooperate, he disappears entirely."Helena picked up where he left off. "You want to know why you only see women and old people out here? Because the men of the house are either flat on their backs inside or flat on their backs in a grave.""What?" Irene's mouth f
