The Rich Man's Proxy Marriage Chapter 122
Elena learned quickly that victory in the Lu family never came without consequence.The morning after the board meeting, the city felt different.Sharper. Louder. As if the air itself had teeth.Her phone vibrated constantly—unknown numbers, blocked IDs, emails that vanished seconds after being opened. Some were thinly veiled congratulations. Others were not even pretending to be polite.You stepped out of line.Know your place.Assets can be removed.Elena deleted them all without reply.Fear, she realized, was a luxury she could no longer afford.Holden did not come home that night.When he finally returned near dawn, his suit was still immaculate, but his eyes were dark—storm-heavy, restrained violence coiled tightly beneath the surface.“You’ve turned this into a blood feud,” he said quietly, setting his jacket down with deliberate control.Elena closed the file she was reading. “It already was one. I just stopped pretending otherwise.”“You embarrassed the board.”“I exposed them

Elena used to think marriage was a private vow—two people against the world. She was wrong.Marriage to Holden Lu was not a union. It was a declaration of war.She understood that fully now.The first threat arrived without a signature.No name. No sender. Just a thin cream envelope slipped beneath the door of her private office, sealed with red wax bearing an unfamiliar crest—an abstract dragon devouring its own tail.Inside was a single line, printed neatly:Be careful where you stand, Mrs. Lu. Blood remembers blood.Elena read it twice. Then a third time.Her hands did not shake—but her spine went cold.This wasn’t Johann’s style. He preferred words spoken softly, knives hidden in smiles. This was older. Colder. A message from the family itself.She burned the letter in the small brass tray on her desk, watching the flame curl the paper into ash.So this was it.This was the real inheritance Holden had married her into.Holden found out within an hour.He stormed into her office

The conference room was unusually quiet that morning, the usual hum of the city below barely audible through the thick glass walls. Elena had arrived early, as always, preparing meticulously for the board meeting. But today, the atmosphere carried a tension she couldn’t ignore.Johann Lu had arrived shortly before the meeting, his presence like a carefully placed chess piece. He wore a calm smile that did not reach his eyes, a mask of cordiality that hinted at the dangerous intent beneath.Elena felt it immediately. Every gesture, every glance he threw in her direction, was a calculated move, designed not only to unsettle her but also to unsettle Holden.Holden, unusually quiet this morning, lingered just outside the room, pretending to review documents on his tablet. In reality, his attention was entirely on Elena and Johann. He could sense Johann’s subtle manipulations, the way he navigated the room like a predator circling its prey.Holden’s jaw tightened. His hands, resting on the

The morning sunlight barely pierced the glass walls of Lu Corporation’s executive floor, leaving the room bathed in a sterile, almost clinical glow. Elena sat at the large mahogany table, reviewing the latest shareholder proposals with meticulous care. Yet her mind was only partially on the documents.Johann Lu’s presence had grown like a shadow over the company, subtle yet menacing. His recent interactions had been carefully orchestrated, every word and glance designed to unsettle Elena, to provoke Holden, and to manipulate the board. Today, however, Johann’s maneuvers were poised to escalate into a full strategic confrontation.Holden lingered just outside the boardroom, his expression taut. He had followed Elena without announcing himself, a silent guardian ensuring Johann’s “accidental proximity” wouldn’t turn into something more. His hands itched to intervene, to step into the room and assert dominance, yet he restrained himself.Every instinct screamed that Johann was testing th

The city lights flickered outside Lu Corporation’s towering headquarters, casting long reflections on the polished marble floors. Inside, the executive floor was alive with muted tension—whispers, the quiet shuffle of papers, and the occasional sharp click of a designer heel against the marble.Holden stood near the central conference table, his jaw tight, eyes fixed on the digital display in front of him. Numbers, graphs, and market analyses scrolled across the screen, yet none of it mattered. His mind was consumed by Johann Lu—the subtle, dangerous presence that had infiltrated his life and threatened the delicate balance he had fought to maintain.Elena entered the room with a calm confidence that both reassured and irritated him. She carried herself with precision, tablet in hand, eyes scanning the data with sharp intellect. Holden watched every move, guarded yet captivated, his instincts screaming that Johann was watching too, that the next trap was already set.Johann had a tale
The Rich Man's Proxy Marriage Chapter 117
The morning sunlight barely pierced the tall glass windows of Lu Corporation’s executive floor. Papers fluttered in a draft, unheeded, as Holden stood by the expansive window, eyes narrowed on the city below.He wasn’t thinking about profits or quarterly projections. Not today.All he could think about was her. Elena.She had been calm during the board meeting, poised, sharp, untouchable. Yet he could feel Johann Lu’s presence lingering like a shadow, a subtle threat that made his chest tighten.Johann had spent the morning speaking in soft, deliberate tones to the board members, his words measured but insidiously calculated. Holden had overheard fragments—enough to know that Johann’s objective was clear: destabilize Holden through Elena.Elena entered the room quietly, clutching her tablet, her every movement deliberate. Her calm exterior hid the storm of thoughts within. Johann’s words—“You don’t belong to him. You belong to the board”—had not shaken her. If anything, they had awake
