last update Last Updated: 2025-09-06 07:48:31

The morning after their long night of planning, Evelyn arrived at Drake Tower early. The lobby was quiet, the marble floor gleaming in the pale light, but the weight of tension hung in the air. She knew Claudia’s campaign would not wait, and the press could erupt at any moment.

When she entered the war room, Hana and Noah were already at work. Screens displayed timelines of Evelyn’s career, each date and location pinned with meticulous care. Mason stood near the window, speaking in low tones on the phone, coordinating contacts abroad. Alexander was there too, calm as always, though Evelyn could see the focus in his eyes sharpened even more than usual.

Hana looked up as Evelyn took her seat. “I spoke to our contact at The Herald of Seoul. They are willing to run a profile if we provide material. They agreed

  • Silent Flame   Chapter 95 – The London Call

    The morning of the London conference began with a sense of quiet tension that wrapped around Evelyn like a cloak. She sat in the war room with Alexander beside her, Hana at the screens, and Noah and Mason standing watch as the call was prepared. The investors in London were not hostile, but they were cautious. Their decision could determine whether Claudia’s coalition gained strength or collapsed before it began.Celeste had insisted on joining as well. She entered the room with her cane, her posture steady despite the early hour. She lowered herself into a chair at the head of the table, her eyes sharp. “We do not beg,” she said firmly. “We present. We remind them of what we have built, and we let them choose stability over chaos.”Evelyn nodded, her heart heavy but resolved. The screen flickered to life, revealing a long table in Lo

  • Silent Flame   Chapter 94 – A Coalition in Shadows

    The next morning began with a phone call that jarred Evelyn awake before dawn. Mason’s voice was clipped, urgent. “She is moving again. Claudia has shifted her focus. She is no longer working through the board alone. She is building a coalition of investors outside the company. If she succeeds, they can force a vote of no confidence against Celeste.”Evelyn sat up, the cold air of the townhouse pressing against her skin. “Which investors?”“Early reports point to Zurich, Vienna, and London,” Mason replied. “She is promising them influence in exchange for support. If she gathers enough of them, she can pressure the board to act against its own Chairwoman.”Evelyn felt the weight of the words settle on her chest. The battle was widening. Claudia was not content to stir un

  • Silent Flame   Chapter 93 – Turning Toward Alexander

    The morning after Evelyn’s profile had been published, Drake Tower was unusually calm. Staff moved through the halls with a sense of renewed steadiness, the tension that had weighed on them for weeks softened by the clarity of her words. The article had struck a chord. It had painted Evelyn not as a mystery but as a survivor, a leader forged in hardship. Investors responded with confidence, and even skeptical directors had grown quieter.But Evelyn knew Claudia Moreau would not rest. Victories only pushed her to sharpen her claws. By mid-morning, her prediction came true.Hana entered Evelyn’s office, her face pale. She carried her tablet pressed against her chest. “We intercepted something new,” she said softly. “This time it is not about you. It is about Alexander.”Evelyn’s ches

  • Silent Flame   Chapter 91 – The Edge of Retaliation

    Claudia Moreau had not set foot in the boardroom, yet her absence was felt the moment the vote ended. Evelyn knew it. The directors knew it. Even Celeste, calm and composed at the head of the table, understood that Claudia’s silence was not surrender. It was the gathering of energy for the next strike.By evening, the news of the board’s decision had already spread across Seoul’s financial district. The headlines were steady, measured: Board Reaffirms Celeste Drake as Chairwoman, Confirms Hart’s Leadership. Investors responded with cautious optimism, shares ticked upward, and for the first time in weeks, Evelyn allowed herself a breath of relief.That relief lasted until Noah entered her office with a folder in his hand and tension in his voice. “She is shifting her strategy. The whispers are no

  • Silent Flame   Chapter 90 – The Emergency Session

    The boardroom of Drake Tower had always carried an air of reverence. Its polished wood table gleamed under the lights, its walls lined with portraits of past leaders, silent witnesses to every decision that had shaped the company. Yet on this morning, the air felt heavy, not with reverence but with anticipation. The directors filed in with expressions carefully neutral, though Evelyn could see the undercurrents of unease.Celeste entered last, moving with steady grace despite the cane in her hand. She wore a deep blue suit, simple and commanding, and her eyes swept the room with quiet authority. Evelyn walked beside her, conscious of every step, aware that the board would study them both. Alexander followed, his presence calm but unmistakable.The Chair of the session, an older director named Kang, cleared his throat. “We are gathered to address concerns rai
