​"The founder of Orion Capital... was also the only man your grandmother ever truly loved."

No one spoke; the waves crashing against the marina were the only sound. Dizer looked down at the old photograph in Liam's hand. Her grandmother's smile in it was different—warmer, happier. It wasn't the rigid smile in the portraits hanging inside the Shank mansion. This one was real.

​She slowly looked up. "My grandfather..."

​Vivian gently shook her head. "No. Eleanor's husband died years before she m

    ​The Enemy Within​"The signal is coming from..." Ethan said, his eyes fixed on the monitor. "...Shank Global Headquarters."​The room fell dead silent. No one spoke. After checking the data for the third time, Ethan looked up. "I've verified it three times. The countdown server is bouncing through several encrypted networks, but the final relay point is inside Shank Global."​Benjamin frowned in confusion. "That doesn't make sense. Kendall would never attack his own company."​"Unless someone inside the company is using its network without his knowledge," Arthur Hayes narrowed his eyes.​Adrian nodded slowly. "That's much more likely."​Dizer stared at the blinking red dot on the screen, her expression hardening. "So... the enemy is already inside."​Infiltration​Late that night, the massive Shank Global headquarters was almost deserted. Only a handful of employees remained, and the night security guard yawned as he made his rounds, never noticing a man dressed as a maintenance wor

    ​The Ticking Clock​The conference room remained deathly silent as every executive stared at the giant screen, where the countdown continued its relentless march: 71:59:48... 71:59:47... 71:59:46...​Sophia Grant was the first to break the heavy silence. "I've never seen anything like this."​Arthur Hayes immediately picked up his phone. "Our cybersecurity team is tracing the source."​"They're already trying, sir," one of the executives replied nervously. "They've found nothing."​Adrian narrowed his eyes, his voice quiet but sharp. "Not nothing. They found exactly what the sender wanted them to find."​Dizer folded her arms, studying the screen. "Whoever did this... wants the whole country watching."​Unbearable Truths​At Oscar Medical Center, Liam's office door burst open as Noah rushed inside, clutching his tablet. "Please tell me you've seen it."​Liam looked at the screen displaying the ticking clock and its chilling message. His heartbeat quickened instantly. "The Oscar–Shank

    ​Quiet Determination​The shocking headline spread across the internet like wildfire: BREAKING: BLACKRIDGE GLOBAL'S MYSTERIOUS HEIRESS IDENTIFIED AS DIZER SHANK.​Within minutes, thousands of vicious comments flooded business forums and social media:​"She betrayed her own family."​"So that's why Shank Global collapsed."​"She planned everything from the beginning."​"Poor Chairman Kendall."​Meanwhile, inside Vivian's estate, the atmosphere remained surprisingly calm. Dizer sat quietly, reading every article without saying a single word. Unable to hold back his anger, Ethan slammed his laptop shut. "This is ridiculous! They don't have a single piece of evidence!"​Benjamin adjusted his glasses and replied calmly, "They don't need evidence. They only need people to believe the story."​Vivian turned to Dizer, studying her expression. "How do you feel?"​Dizer gently placed the tablet on the table before picking up her teacup. "They're trying to make me angry," she said quietly.​"An

    ​The Theft​"They stole your grandmother's original shipping journals."​A heavy silence settled over the balcony. Dizer stared at Benjamin in disbelief. "Are you certain?"​Benjamin nodded grimly. "I checked the security system myself. The office wasn't disturbed, and the safe wasn't forced open. Only the journals disappeared."​Adrian's expression darkened instantly. "Whoever broke in knew exactly what they wanted."​Vivian folded her arms, her eyes sharp. "This wasn't a robbery. It was preparation."​"Preparation for what?" Dizer frowned.​"For war," Adrian answered quietly.​The Evidence​Half an hour later, Eleanor's private warehouse buzzed with activity. Security officers dusted every surface for fingerprints while photographers documented every corner of the room. Dizer stood before the open bookshelf, staring at the empty rectangular space where the journals had once been.​"How many journals were there?" she asked.​"Twelve," Benjamin replied. "Twelve volumes."​"They weren

    ​"I want you..." Camille said, her voice barely rising above a whisper, "...to destroy Blackridge before Dizer can build it."​Though she spoke softly, every syllable dripped with a toxic, simmering resentment. On the other end of the line, the man chuckled darkly. "So, you've finally admitted she's a threat."​Camille glanced back through the hospital's glass entrance. Inside, Liam was still standing close beside Dizer—not out of a sense of obligation or because of their marriage, but because he genuinely wanted to be there. Her jaw tightened in jealousy. "I don't care what it costs," she said coldly. "I don't want her becoming stronger."​The man remained silent for a few seconds before asking, "And what do I get in return?"​Camille narrowed her eyes. "What do you want?"​"You."​She froze instantly. "You know that's impossible."​He laughed dismissively. "Relax. I was joking." After a brief pause, his tone turned calculating and serious. "But I do want something."​"What is it?"

    "Dizer..." Liam’s voice was unusually strained as the conference room fell silent. "I know I probably don't have the right to ask this, but... I need your help."​Six pairs of eyes immediately turned toward Dizer. She stepped away from the table, looking closely at him. "What happened?"​"There was an explosion at a chemical warehouse on the east dock," he explained, his anxiety palpable.​Her expression changed instantly. "The east dock?"​"Yes," Liam nodded quickly. "More than eighty workers were injured, and the emergency department is completely overwhelmed."​Dizer frowned, feeling helpless. "I'm sorry, Liam... I'm not a doctor."​"I know," he replied earnestly. "But you're the best logistics strategist I've ever met. The roads around the hospital are completely blocked. Our blood supplies are running out, and the ambulances are stuck in gridlock." He paused, adding softly, "I remembered something you once said."​She closed her eyes, bracing herself. "What did I say?"​"'When pe
