تاريخ النشر:
2026-08-11 06:14:47Stepping out of the dark, silent underground fortress, the first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the mist over the sea, scattering golden light across the churning waves. The sky was a pale, washed blue, the clouds thin and scattered, as if the world itself was breathing a sigh of relief.
The sea wind carried the salty, damp scent of the ocean, mingled with the faint, clean smell of rain-washed rock and earth. Avery drew a deep breath of the cold, free air, letting it fill her

The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 239 Trapped Like Rats
The dark night lay heavy over Kessler Estate. The wind rustled through the bushes on the lawn. It carried a low, whispering sound through the still air.Leaning against the cool surface of the main control console, Avery watched the red dots moving across the surveillance screens. Her cool eyes gleamed with calm, calculated certainty. These were the last remnants of the overseas alliance's operatives.After tonight's complete PR collapse, after their carefully constructed lies had been torn apart before a global audience, they had finally lost their composure. Like cornered rats, they had crashed headlong into the carefully laid trap. Every move they made had already been anticipated. Every escape route had been sealed before they even set foot on the estate grounds. There was no way out for them now."They think they have found a security gap in the side entrance," Avery said. Her fingertip traced one of the infiltration routes on the screen. Her voice was low,
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 238 Live Showdown
Before news of the overseas delegation's arrival could even stir Obsidian City, an overwhelming wave of public opinion had already begun fermenting across international networks. The headlines spread like wildfire. The story gained traction with every passing hour. By the time the delegation had cleared customs, the global chatter had reached a fever pitch.These so-called academic elites from the overseas alliance had, the moment they stepped off the plane, used multiple cross-border media outlets to publish an invitation for an academic symposium titled"Frontier Genetics and Mental Health."The announcement was carefully timed, designed to maximize impact before anyone in Obsidian City could mount a coordinated response.The invitation was draped in the banner of "human welfare," specifically requesting Avery's attendance as both a psychological expert and project inheritor. The entire event would be broadcast live to a global audience. They wanted witness
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 237 The Hidden Conspiracy
Inside the study of Kessler Estate, the heavy blackout curtains blocked most of the sunlight. Only a vintage desk lamp remained, casting a warm amber glow across the room. The air was thick with the faint scent of sandalwood, layered beneath the cool, lingering trace of gunpowder. The shadows in the corners held their silence, heavy with secrets that had been buried for years and had only now clawed their way back to light.Avery stood at the mahogany desk. Her cool eyes fixed on the letter with its distinctive encrypted markings. She dissected the logic behind the words almost instantly, peeling back the hidden motives and calculations buried within each line. The phrasing was deliberate, careful. It was the work of someone who had been playing this game far too long to leave easy traces.Though the Grand Elder had been dealt with, the letter he had left behind revealed another conspiracy, far more tangled and dangerous. St. John had been n
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 236 The Day of Reckoning
The morning mist had yet to fully clear. The council chamber of Kessler Estate was already thick with tension and solemnity. The air felt heavy. It was charged with the unspoken fears of those who had gathered. The ancient stone walls seemed to press in on the room, amplifying every whisper.From her vantage point on the second-floor railing, Avery looked down at the family members arriving below. The elders were once so accustomed to carrying themselves with arrogant self-importance. Now they wore anxious, uncertain expressions. Some fidgeted with their cuffs. Others avoided eye contact. The confidence that had once defined them had evaporated overnight.The fall of St. John had struck Obsidian City like a thunderbolt. It sent shockwaves through every level of power. The truths recovered from the underground vault last night had torn open a fatal wound. The old web of interests had been sealed away for years. Now its secrets were clawing their way back to the surface.
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 235 The Sealed Past
The setting sun cast its heavy golden light across the manicured lawns of Kessler Estate, gilding the ancient stone walls with a soft, warm glow. The light slanted through the trees, painting long shadows across the grass. The air was still and quiet, carrying the faint scent of late-blooming flowers.The moment she stepped out of the car, the familiar scent of flowers and earth drifted across her face on the gentle breeze. Avery looked at the castle standing before her in the fading light, and felt as though she had stepped into another life.This time, she was no longer a visitor carrying suspicion and old grudges. She had shed every burden and come home. The weight that had pressed on her shoulders for years was finally gone."Mommy! Dominic!"A small, bright voice shattered the quiet of the estate. Dorothea, in her soft cotton dress, burst out of the castle gates like a happy little rabbit, her eyes shining as she ran straight toward them. Her small f

Stepping out of the dark, silent underground fortress, the first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the mist over the sea, scattering golden light across the churning waves. The sky was a pale, washed blue, the clouds thin and scattered, as if the world itself was breathing a sigh of relief.The sea wind carried the salty, damp scent of the ocean, mingled with the faint, clean smell of rain-washed rock and earth. Avery drew a deep breath of the cold, free air, letting it fill her lungs and chase away the last traces of the stale, metallic air from the fortress.The heavy weight that had pressed on her heart for seven years dissolved in that instant. The knot that had been coiled tight behind her ribs finally came undone. With the release came a wave of exhaustion that flooded through her, making her legs feel weak. Her knees threatened to buckle, the accumulated fatigue of the past days catching up with her all at once.A moment later, warmth settled over

Avery stared at those words. Her phone hit the carpet. Before she could pick it up, Dominic was already moving."Drake. Clear the entire second floor. Inside and out." His brow was tight, his face stone serious."Dorothea's room. Now."Footsteps surged from every direction.The living room lights a

Dorothea lowered her head and went back to drawing. The crayon scratched across the paper."Dorothea." Avery crouched beside her daughter."Who told you that number?"Dorothea didn't look up. "I saw it.""Where did you see it?"The little girl's hand stopped. She put down the crayon, picked up her

A gunshot cracked through the air.Before Avery could react, a hand shoved her head down. She was yanked into someone's chest, hard.The bullet hit the spot where she had been standing. Wall chips scattered everywhere.She looked up. It was Dominic.His chin pressed against the top of her head. His
