They too gasped in surprise."So that's why he didn't need our help. He had it planned!"Ivana smiled. She'd seen this coming. "Told you he knew what he was doing, Dad."Aria and Victor sighed. "He sees right through the veil, more than we do. Evidence is always a more solid plan than fighting Cain."Any single person in this room could take Cain out easily, but the gemstone case wasn't a battle of status or power. It was a battle of presenting the truth to the public. If someone could do whatever they wanted just because of their status, order would crumble."Evan…" Sylvie didn’t take her eyes off the screen. Her gaze shone. Whatever mess this was, Evan chose the most responsible way to end it."He’s… incredible. I think I admire him even more now." Estelle also held Evan in high regards,
James was right. Evan had no proof. Without proof, it wouldn't matter how well Evan told the story.Evan let out a cold snicker. "What made you think I have no proof?"The Norwoods inhaled sharply. A chill crawled up their spines, rattling their hearts. The triplets shot Darius disbelieving looks. The look in their eyes said, 'We told you to wipe it out!'Darius was stunned. He had erased it. There shouldn't have been anything left, let alone anything Evan could produce.Gabriel stared at Evan sharply. "Do you have proof that someone else did the crime?" At first, he didn't trust Evan, even if the whole city's reporters were invited. However, evidence changed that story."Evan has evidence of Darius' crimes?""I…"Naturally, the heiresses didn't believe it either. They too were staring in wide-eyed disbelief. They knew Evan was framed, but nothing could prove he wasn't. And evidence was important to make a case. Now Evan came prepared.Anya was breathing heavily. "If he does
They couldn't believe Darius did it, not when all the evidence pointed to Evan as the culprit. The cameras couldn't stop flashing, taking photos of the Norwoods. The family looked like they wanted to scream.Darius stood rigid, like he'd been struck by lightning. He hadn't expected this—certainly not Evan dragging reporters here and naming him in public.Gabriel's gaze turned lethal. The Norwoods visibly wavered. James growled, "That's slander, you little bastard! Darius stole the gemstone? No! The evidence points to you!" He turned to Gabriel. "Don't listen to him, Mr. Gabriel! He's panicking! He's trying to take us down!""My husband's right! He's trying to frame us!" Josephine roared at Evan with disgust, "You shameless thing! We're your parents! How dare you do this to us? After all the years we wasted on you, we should've known you were nothing but a beast!"Evan couldn't care less about the Norwoods' insults. The moment they twisted the story and made him take the fall, the
Gabriel let out a low chuckle, and it sent a chill through the crowd. He was no fool. Evan gathered the whole city's news outlets to expose a scandal.The ground started shaking. A grand scene was unfolding outside the estate. Tens of thousands of cars were approaching. There were at least thousands of people gathering around, and all of them were reporters.They surged through the gates, microphones thrust forward, cameras raised overhead, flashes popping nonstop. The heiresses watched the whole thing in dumbfounded awe. They wondered why there were so many reporters here. One of them was Kinsey McKellan, the most revered news anchor of Silverton. People called her a soothsayer. She had a reputation of delivering news that always seemed prophetic in hindsight, no matter how ludicrous it sounded at first.Hazel stopped her. "Ms. McKellan, what are you doing here?""Nobody told you?" Kinsey looked at the heiresses, shocked. She added, "The Overlord of Silverton's son is in Silve
The entire Norwood family was stunned when they heard the butler's cries."What did you say? Reporters?"They had assumed it was someone coming to protect Evan."Yes, nearly a hundred outlets. It looks like every major media company in the city is here!""What?"At the mention of every major media company in the city, James' expression changed instantly.Alice, Beverly, and Colette turned pale as well.Everyone instinctively turned to look at Darius. They had assumed this was his doing, but he looked confused. He clearly had no idea what was going on.A chill ran through Alice and her sisters. Something was wrong, very, very wrong."James." Evan's voice suddenly rang out.It wasn't loud. Yet, it sounded like thunder to the Norwoods.James' body jerked. He didn't understand why his body was obeying even as he slowly turned around to face Evan."Alice. Beverly. Colette. Josephine."Evan called their names one after another.Every person he named stiffened, their expressions
When Evan remained unmoved, the rest of the Norwoods began shouting at him.Their deafening voices echoed through Eisenberg Castle.He was surrounded on all sides, making him seem like a lamb waiting for slaughter.Darius' grin widened as he watched the scene. He cackled wildly. "Let's see who can save you this time!"Just then, outside Norwood Residence, a car screeched to a stop.Hazel and the other two rushed out.The moment they heard the thunderous shouts from inside, every voice condemning Evan, their hearts sank even further.Hazel was right on the money.The Norwoods had tricked Evan. Not only had they refused to help him, but they had also turned around and offered him up like a trophy to Gabriel, Cain's representative.On the way over, they had already called everyone they could think of. Every single one refused to help.The drakeblood gemstone was untouchable. No one could help; none dared.Anyone who pleaded for Evan would be standing against Cain."Hazel, give
"Just because I haven't cured him yet doesn't mean I can't later," Evan said calmly.He hadn't fully mastered the Ninefold Arcane Arts yet, but once he did, this would be nothing."Life and death, sickness and old age—these are all part of fate. I've walked through the gates of death myself. What'
"Am I seeing things?""He's really awake…""It's a miracle…"Shouts of astonishment echoed one after another. Everyone stood frozen, eyes wide.No one had expected the Iron Dragon—already declared dead—to come back to life in such a miraculous way."Grandpa!" Sylvie dashed into the Iron Dragon'
Even their voices were trembling. Roxanne and Anya thought this was a dream. They were seeing the queen of finance for real. She was on par with the nation's richest person, and even they had to ask her for investment pointers.Ivana's gaze settled on Hazel. "You. Raise your head.""What?" Hazel f
No matter what, Evan would never leave the Solberg family."That's right! He wouldn't dare run away. Being part of the Solbergs is his shield! Isn't that why he changed his name to Evan Solberg in the first place?"Roxanne and Anya nodded in agreement.Zeke couldn't help but laugh silently at the
