Chapter 152: An Unexpected Proposal"Ah... you two..." murmured Zara, her eyes sparkling with happiness as she looked at Lavínia and Zen. "You came back again?" She stepped closer to Lavínia, who had to resist the urge to pull away when Zara gently touched her hand, holding it with a tenderness that only deepened Lavínia’s discomfort."I... nothing!" Lavínia replied, forcing a smile that barely concealed her unease."You're acting so strange. What's wrong?" Zara asked, suspicion evident in her expression as she tilted her head to study her more closely."What kind of question is that...? You know!" Lavínia answered firmly, subtly pulling her hand away from Zara in a tense but controlled gesture. Her gaze became a mix of accusation and pain before she composed herself. "You know that... I'm sick. And now it’s only a matter of time before I have to give up my career. I won’t be able to practice law anymore...""Ah..." Zara sighed, a soft, affectionate smile appearing on her lips. She to

Chapter 154: Trapped by the Past"Get up already!" Romanov commanded."What did you do to me?" he asked, his voice weak."I just hit your head," Romanov said with satisfaction. "Now, I want you to answer some questions. I want to refresh your memory.""Do you remember the last mission I gave you?""Of course, I do!""What was your mission?""Why are you asking me this?""If you don’t answer, you will never see those adoptive parents again.""You already know! My mission was to kill Mrs. Bayer!" he shouted as he got up, his head pounding as if a brick were crushing his skull. "And then you would leave me alone!""Exactly," Romanov replied coldly, leaning slightly forward. "But you still haven't done it. Remember that I told you if I caught her, you would finish the job?""I said that, but wasn't it enough, the number of people I killed for you? Do you know how many deaths I carry on my back because of you? I never wanted this!"Romanov pressed a button on the desk, and a large screen o

Chapter 156: The Trial and the Last GoodbyeThe official trial was set for a week later. Lavínia decided to disappear during that time; the doors of her mansion were sealed, and now she was spending time with her mother. But as the doctors had warned, this would not last forever. She wanted to forget all her problems and enjoy as much time as possible with her mother, even though her thoughts still drifted to Cedrick."Are you sad that he didn't come after you?" her mother asked as they walked hand in hand through the garden."No... I can’t miss someone who wanted to kill me," she murmured bitterly."Silly girl... If he hadn't protected you even when you were Bayer, I would have already lost a daughter. Soon, I'll be leaving, and I don't want you to be alone. He’s a good man, so stop torturing yourself over all this.""If that were true, at the very least, he should have come to apologize, begged for my love. Instead, he turned his back on everything and disappeared.""Everything happ

Chapter 158: The Judge's Move“Ah... It looks like he was here,” Lavínia remarked in surprise, picking up the ring and recognizing it instantly.“Who? Cedrick?” Samuel asked, observing her expression.“I ended up getting confused and didn’t see him,” she murmured, disappointed, pressing the ring against her chest.“At least it’s a sign that he’s okay,” Samuel tried to comfort her.“Still, he has become a fugitive,” Lavínia sighed, her voice heavy with concern.“Will he spend his entire life on the run?” Samuel questioned, looking toward the horizon.“I don’t know...” she replied, turning her gaze to the ring in her hand. After a few seconds of silence, she lifted her eyes with determination. “Right now, I have other things to think about. That’s why I want you to gather all our trusted friends. I need to meet with them, especially those involved in the missions at Dimon’s company. I have some plans.” A mysterious smile formed on her lips.“You still have more tricks up your sleeve?” S

Chapter 160: The Unexpected Betrayal"Of course, I know. I found a will in Dimon's email. He was handling a rather peculiar contract, but I only found an unsigned copy. Romanov was well-prepared.""What did it say?""At this very moment, all of Romanov's assets, including Alpha Corp, have already been transferred to another ownership. But no one knows to whom.""What are we going to do?""Keep working until everything starts to collapse," she said indifferently.She said goodbye to Samuel and headed to the parking lot. Getting into her car without a care, she started driving. Suddenly, she noticed a shadow rising from the back seat. The man was wearing a hat, but he quickly removed it."You scared me!" she murmured, slamming on the brakes. "HR manager, Axel? What are you doing here?" she asked, trying to open the door, only to realize it was locked."I thought you'd want to see me again," he commented, taking off a wig and peeling away a second skin that concealed his true face.At th
