Semua Bab The Forgotten Titan's Resurgence: Bab 91 - Bab 100

The atmosphere grew tense, with awkwardness hanging in the air. Elara didn't know how to respond. Saying Gideon was the head of a family sounded impressive, but anyone who looked deeper would discover the truth—he was leading a declining household on the brink of financial ruin. It would be mortifying.Noticing the hesitation on Elara's and Marion's faces, Maisy's spirits soared. Her instincts told her that Gideon was no match for Sebastian. Feeling smug, she couldn't help but revel in the moment.Maisy had spent her entire life competing with Marion and losing. When Marion married Arnold, the Seymour family was prosperous and prominent, making Marion's marriage a glamorous affair. In contrast, Maisy had married Kristian, who was then a lowly salesperson. Though she'd been frustrated by his lack of status, Kristian's unwavering devotion won her over, and she chose love over status.Over the years, Kristian's fortunes turned. With the help of a well-connected benefactor, he built

Arnold noticed the tension brewing and quietly pulled Gideon aside. "Gideon, this doesn't look good. I think Sebastian's trying to stir up trouble. You should just leave. There's no point staying here."Gideon smiled faintly. "Dad, don't worry. I'm not so useless that I'd let them walk all over me. Besides, what's the worst they can do? Eat me alive?"Arnold sighed heavily, unsure of what to say.Moments later, a commotion sounded outside the private room. A young man's voice rang out, loud and confident, "Sebastian, I'm here!"Sebastian rose and opened the door, greeting the newcomer with a broad smile. "Dawson! It's been a while.""Sure has," Dawson Hobbs replied with a laugh. "You've been so busy lately that I didn't think I'd catch you here in Goldspire."Turning to Kyla, Dawson grinned. "And this must be your wife. Stunning, as expected! You're one lucky guy, Sebastian.""Greetings, Mr. and Mrs. Seymour and Mr. and Mrs. Morin," he added, greeting the elders in the room with

"What are you doing? Are you really calling Rachel?" Elara looked at Gideon with skepticism.Gideon didn't reply, his calm demeanor unnerving. His silence made both Marion and Elara suspicious. Could he really have Rachel's number? They couldn't entirely dismiss the possibility. After all, Gideon was once the most prominent of Goldspire's Four Elites, while Rachel was among Goldspire's Three Beauties. A connection between them wasn't entirely far-fetched.But as Gideon dialed, his confidence wavered. The call didn't go through."What's wrong?" Arnold asked, noticing Gideon's momentary hesitation."She didn't pick up," Gideon replied. "She's likely in a meeting or dealing with something important."The change in Elara's and Marion's expressions was immediate—disdain and fury painted across their faces.For a brief moment, they had entertained the idea that Gideon might actually pull this off. Now, they felt utterly humiliated for even considering it.Even if Gideon once had

"What did you just say?" Rachel asked."Ms. Avila, our corporate account suddenly has five billion dollars deposited into it! What should we do?" The finance director was practically in tears, overwhelmed not with joy but with sheer panic.Five billion dollars wasn't just an astronomical sum—it was liquid cash. Even at its peak, the Avila family had never come close to handling this much cash. The finance director was terrified. Money of such a scale would undoubtedly attract attention from the banks, law enforcement, and regulatory authorities, making a joint investigation inevitable. How could they explain it? This wasn't just a financial windfall. It was a potential disaster."Ms. Avila, please think of something!" the director pleaded, nearly jumping out of his skin."Calm down," Rachel said, waving him off. "You can leave the room for now."The finance director hesitated but ultimately complied, shutting the door behind him.Rachel let out a long breath, staring at Gid

The only solace Sebastian felt when answering the call was that it wasn't from his father—just an unknown number. He forced himself to remain calm and answered, "Hello, who is this?""Is this Sebastian Halton?" a cold and formal voice replied."Yes, it's me," Sebastian said cautiously."This is the Governmental Accountability Office of Aloport. We've received reports that you're involved in multiple instances of corruption and misconduct. You are hereby summoned for investigation. Where are you currently located?"The words hit Sebastian like a thunderbolt. His face turned pale, and his body trembled. No official could remain composed upon hearing from the Governmental Accountability Office—it was a bureaucratic nightmare capable of ending careers overnight."T-There must be some mistake," Sebastian stammered. "I'm—""No need for explanations. The office has issued an official summons. Where are you right now?" the voice interrupted."I-I'm in Goldspire, Verdura," he managed
