Chapter 102 – The Manufactured Movement
Last Updated:
2025-09-09 07:57:00The storm broke two days later, not in a boardroom but in the press. Evelyn arrived at Drake Tower to find Hana waiting outside her office with a newspaper in hand and tension etched across her face. “It has begun,” Hana said softly, handing her the paper.
Across the front page, a headline screamed: Drake Relatives Speak Out Against Empire of Shadows. Evelyn’s stomach twisted as she read. The article quoted both Julien Morel and Sofia Rinaldi. Julien was portrayed as the grandson of a betrayed partner, his words filled with anger. Sofia was framed as a quiet figure finally finding her voice. Both stories had been pieced together with careful manipulation.
“They did not speak like this to us,” Evelyn whispered.
“No,” Hana replied. “They

Silent Flame Chapter 106 – The Personal Strike
Evelyn arrived at the tower the next morning to find the air sharp with unease. Hana was already waiting near the elevators, her tablet clutched close. The young woman’s usual calm had been replaced by a tight expression.“What is it?” Evelyn asked as soon as the doors closed behind them.Hana handed her the tablet. “Claudia has shifted her attack again. This time she is going after you, not through your work, but through your personal life. She has been digging into your early career and private history. She is searching for gaps she can fill with suspicion.”Evelyn scrolled through the reports. Claudia had sent discreet inquiries to Bennett & Sloan, the law firm where Evelyn had once worked. There were hints of sealed documents, rumors of an old settlement, and questions about why Evelyn
Silent Flame Chapter 105 – The Chairwoman’s Trial
The morning began with a quiet hum in the corridors of Drake Tower, but Evelyn sensed unease in the air the moment she stepped inside. Conversations hushed as she passed. Assistants moved briskly with eyes lowered. By the time she reached the war room, Hana already had the screens filled with headlines.Noah stood at the front, his arms crossed. “She is attacking Celeste directly now,” he said grimly.Evelyn leaned closer, reading the words glowing on the display. Calls Grow for Celeste Drake to Step Aside. The article claimed that Celeste was too old to lead, that her decisions were influenced more by nostalgia than strategy. Anonymous sources were quoted, suggesting her mind was weakening. Evelyn’s jaw tightened.“This is Claudia’s doing,” Hana
Silent Flame Chapter 104 – Julien’s Declaration
The morning broke cold and gray over Seoul, but the storm came not from the sky. It arrived in the form of a headline flashing across every major outlet: Julien Morel Declares Drake Betrayal. Evelyn stood frozen in the war room as Noah read the first lines aloud.“In a public statement released from Paris,” Noah said, his voice taut, “Julien Morel claims that the Drakes erased his family from history, stealing their rightful fortune. He calls them corrupt and unfit to lead.” Noah lowered the page, his face grim. “It is everywhere. Claudia staged this perfectly.”Evelyn felt the words like stones in her chest. Sofia’s courage had shifted momentum only yesterday, and already Claudia had countered. “She will not stop,” Evelyn whispered. “Every step forward, she drags u
Silent Flame Chapter 103 – Sofia’s Voice
The following morning, Evelyn rose early. She dressed with care, not because she would be seen on camera, but because she wanted to feel composed. Today Sofia Rinaldi would speak in her own words, and the entire world would watch. Evelyn knew it could turn the tide.In the war room at Drake Tower, the team gathered around the screens. Hana had already secured the broadcast link from Rome. Mason stood nearby, his expression steady but alert. He had spent the night ensuring Sofia felt supported and unpressured. Alexander stood behind Evelyn, his presence a calm anchor.Celeste entered last, leaning lightly on her cane. She did not sit, but remained at the edge of the room, her eyes fixed on the screens. “Let us hear if truth still has weight in this world,” she said softly.The broadcast began. Sofia appeared in

Silent Flame Chapter 101 – The Roman Meeting
The flight to Rome had been long, but Mason arrived with little time to rest. He moved quickly through the crowded streets, blending easily into the rhythm of the city. Rome was alive with energy, its ancient walls carrying whispers of history, but Mason’s focus was fixed only on one person: Sofia Rinaldi. She was the second name on Claudia’s list, and if she aligned with Claudia, the damage could ripple through both boardrooms and headlines.Mason had arranged to meet her in a quiet library café near Trastevere. The place was simple, filled with the smell of old books and fresh espresso. He arrived early, choosing a table near the back. He kept his phone in front of him, knowing Evelyn and Noah were watching from Seoul, ready to react to any updates.Sofia arrived a few minutes later. She was in her early forties, her dark hair pulled back neat
