2026-05-26 08:02:44Dominic leaned his head back against the headrest, wearing a headset as he conducted a low call with an unidentifiable contact.
Avery’s complete focus remained anchored on Dorothea. As she idly traced the contours of the child’s small hand within her own, her ears managed to catch fragmented pieces of his conversation:
"Tow the van back for a full forensic sweep. Keep the remaining survivors secured under maximum isolation. I want actionable intelligence pulled from

The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 241 Is Sunset City Truly Calm?
Outside the VIP express lane of Sunset City, the afternoon sun poured down without restraint, warm and golden.Leaning against Dominic's broad, steady arm, Avery looped her hand through his. Her cool eyes swept over the crowd gathered at the end of the lane. The old nobles of Sunset City had once kicked her when she was down. Now they were dressed in their finest formal wear, craning their necks with ingratiating, false smiles. They were desperate to catch a glimpse of her. Their faces were painted with forced warmth, their hands clasped in front of them as if greeting a long-lost friend rather than someone they had once scorned. The desperation in their eyes was almost palpable."Dr. Clair! Oh, it has been so long! We heard you were coming back..." One of the leading old nobles pushed forward, trying to use their "old acquaintance" status to get close. His voice was oily, dripping with practiced charm.Before he could take two steps, a dozen black-suited elite
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 240 A New Chapter of Thunder
The dark night lay heavy over the ancient, somber ancestral hall of the Devereux family.Leaning against the carved antique wooden chair, Avery stood in her crisp white suit, arms crossed. As a witness to this final purge, she could clearly feel the suffocating tension in the air. It was the absolute pressure that preceded the arrival of Obsidian City's ruler. It was like the stillness before a storm. The elders' faces were drawn tight. Their eyes darted nervously, each one trying to read the room and find an escape that no longer existed.In the center of the hall, several of the most senior branch elders of the Devereux family huddled together. Their faces were dark with defiance. Their voices rose in a chorus of protest, each one trying to sound bolder than the last."Dominic! Victor is gone, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want! The family trust funds and core shares are still in our hands. Without our signatures, you have no legitimate claim!
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 25 A Dangerous Symbiosis
When Avery opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Dominic's Adam's apple, inches from her face.The taut line of his throat shifted slightly with each steady breath. She realized, with a jolt of panic, that at some point she had wrapped her arms around him, her fingers still clutching the fab

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

Morning came.Dominic's chair was empty.When Avery woke up, he was already dressed. Hearing her stir, he turned."Let's go. The lab."He didn't give her time to hesitate.Drake stayed behind to watch the house. The car waited at the gate.Dominic walked ahead in a dark tactical jacket. Avery follo

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
