Chapter 280 – I called you here for one reason

Frederick tilted the bottle back, draining the last drop of vodka like he was trying to drown something deeper than alcohol could ever reach, his throat tightening as the burn slid down, his other hand gripping his phone so hard it almost looked like it might crack under the pressure.“And just so you know, Dad,” he said, his voice rough but stubborn, laced with something raw and unyielding, “I’m getting Cassie back, even if it’s the last thing I do.”On the other end, Adrian barely had time to respond, probably already preparing the lecture Frederick didn’t want to hear, but Frederick didn’t give him that chance. He ended the call without hesitation, like cutting off the last thread of reason, then stumbled toward the bed, his steps uneven, his head already starting to spin.Sleep didn’t come easy, and when it did, it wasn’t kind.The next thing he felt was the brutal aftermath—the pounding headache crashing into him the second his eyes opened, his mouth dry, his body heavy, his thou

Chapter 281 – I’ll give you anything. Everything. Even the Novarian Group

Franklin let out a laugh, but there was nothing light about it, no trace of humor, just a sharp, hollow sound that carried more disbelief than anything else, his eyes fixed on Frederick like he couldn’t quite believe what he was hearing.“Do you think my wife is some kind of object you can pick up and toss aside whenever it suits you?” he asked, his voice low but firm, each word landing with weight. “She’s a person, my world.”He paused after that, not because he didn’t have more to say, but because he was holding himself back, forcing the anger rising inside him to settle instead of letting it take over.“This is the last time you speak about my wife like that.”“I married her first,” Frederick cut in, his voice rising, tension bleeding through as his control started to slip. “I called you here to have this conversation like men.”Franklin stared at him for a second, then shook his head slowly, almost like he was trying to process how far gone Frederick really was.“You’ve lost it,”

Chapter 282 – This is the last time I’m being civil about this

Anger tore through Franklin fast and hot, like something that had been building for a long time and finally found its way out, his restraint snapping as he leaned forward, his eyes locked on Frederick with a sharp intensity that left no room for misinterpretation.“Don’t even try to twist this,” he said, his voice cutting, each word edged with raw frustration. “Rose chose your mistress over her own mother. Do you have any idea how many times Cassie for her? Do you know what that did to her? Not just you betraying her… but the child she sacrificed everything for doing the same?”Frederick didn’t interrupt this time, but the tension in his face said enough.Franklin didn’t stop.“Tell me something,” he continued, his tone dropping slightly, though it carried even more weight now. “If not for Rose, do you really think Cassie would’ve stayed with you for seven years?” He didn’t wait for an answer. “She endured all of that because she loved her daughter.”His expression tightened, his voic

Chapter 283 – Shouldn’t we arrange a DNA test?

Drake shot up from his seat so abruptly that the chair scraped harshly against the floor, the sound slicing through the tension already building in the room. His hands came down hard on the desk, the impact echoing as his glare locked onto her, disbelief written all over his face.“Impossible,” he said, his voice tight, almost strained, like he was forcing the words out past something heavier. “You can’t be the lost heiress of the Blackridge Maritime Group.”“She has proof,” Franklin cut in, his tone calm but edged with cold certainty, the kind that didn’t leave room for argument. “And if that’s not enough, you can run a DNA test. That shouldn’t be difficult, right?”Drake didn’t respond immediately. Instead, his eyes stayed fixed on Cassie, searching her face with an intensity that felt almost invasive, like he was trying to peel back layers and find something buried underneath. His gaze didn’t move, didn’t soften, just stayed there, locked onto hers.“How did I not see this?” he mut

Chapter 284 – The puzzled test

“A lot of people have walked through those doors claiming to be Rachel’s child,” the old woman began, her voice steady but layered with years of experience, the kind that came from seeing too much and trusting too little.“Some of them were even men, using different names, different stories, trying to force their way into a place that doesn’t belong to them. But one thing stayed the same… the Munroe surname.”She paused, her gaze lowering slightly as if recalling each failed attempt, each lie she had already torn apart.“Some even went as far as faking DNA results,” she continued, her tone sharpening just a little. “But I saw through every single one of them. DNA can be manipulated when the right connections are involved…” Her eyes lifted again, landing directly on Cassie. “But my final test cannot.”Cassie frowned slightly, confusion threading through her thoughts, and from the look on Franklin’s face, he wasn’t any less puzzled. Drake, on the other hand, let out a small smile, like

Chapter 285 – Don’t Get Too Comfortable

Cassie turned fully toward Drake this time, her attention settling on him with quiet focus, her expression calm but expectant. “Go on,” she said, her voice even, giving him the space to speak while making it clear she wasn’t about to wait forever.Drake swallowed, the movement tight and visible, his throat working as though the words were stuck somewhere between his chest and his mouth.When they finally came, they rushed out faster than he had intended, almost tripping over themselves. He knew if he hesitated, even for a second, he might lose the nerve entirely.“That night at the gentlemen’s club…” he began, his voice low, uncertain despite his effort to sound steady. “Do you hold it against me?”For a moment, Cassie said nothing. Then a faint smile curved along her lips, soft and distant, as if she had traveled back to that moment and returned with a clearer understanding of it.She didn’t regret what had happened, not anymore. Every choice, every consequence, had shaped her into wh

Chapter 286 – Let it go, Tristan is safe now

Cassie had never seen the man before, not even in passing, yet the resemblance hit her instantly, sharp enough to make her chest tighten as her gaze flicked between him and Franklin, searching for confirmation she didn’t want but already felt creeping in.There was something about the man’s face, something too familiar, too close to Tristan, that made the connection impossible to ignore.Franklin’s expression hardened the second he noticed where her attention had landed, his jaw tightening as he exhaled slowly, like he was forcing control over something within. “Please stay in the car,” he said quietly, his tone calm but firm, leaving no room for argument as he stepped out and closed the door behind him.Cassie watched through the window, her fingers curling slightly against her lap as Franklin walked around the front of the car, his posture stiff, every movement carrying restrained tension.He stopped in front of the man. “What do you want?” His voice was low, clipped, carrying none

Chapter 287 – you need to tell us who sent you

“What did you say?” Franklin asked, his voice low but edged with disbelief, the words coming out slower than usual as confusion settled deep in his mind, because no rational person had ever attempted something like this—breaking into his penthouse wasn’t just bold, it was almost absurd.The call had come from the security agency responsible for monitoring the electronic systems in his home, their tone professional yet carrying a hint of urgency.“Mr. Roth, the intruder has been apprehended, but nothing appears to be missing. From what we can tell, he was searching for something specific, though he’s refusing to say what it is. Our team arrived shortly after noticing some inconsistencies in your security system.Furthermore more, we confirmed you weren’t in the building. If you’d like, you can come down.”Franklin exhaled quietly, already reaching for his keys. “Yeah,” he said, steady and certain now, “I’d like to meet him.”After he explained everything, Cassie didn’t hesitate before

Chapter 288 - I need to make sure I stay alive too

The man’s eyes darted around the room, cautious, calculating, like he was weighing every possible outcome before deciding how much he was willing to risk. “I already gave you a hint,” he said finally, his voice low, guarded. “Get me out of here, and I’ll tell you the rest.”Franklin studied him for a second, a quiet understanding settling in as the corners of his mouth lifted ever so slightly, not from amusement, but from recognition. Smart. The guy wasn’t reckless. He knew exactly how to play this.And honestly, Franklin couldn’t even be mad about it.If anything, it only reinforced what had already been running through his mind. He was grateful, more than he let show, that they had ended up staying at Sebastian and Scarlet’s place instead of his penthouse.If they hadn’t, there was a real chance Cassie’s belongings, the ones her parents left behind, wouldn’t be safe right now.He turned, signaling to the officer in charge without hesitation. “My wife and I would like to drop the cas

Chapter 289 – A pregnant woman shouldn’t skip meals

Drake had just stepped out of the shower, the lingering warmth of the water still clinging to his skin as he reached for a towel, already settling into the quiet expectation of ending the night, when his phone lit up against the nightstand, the sharp glow pulling his attention instantly.The name flashing across the screen made him pause before even picking it up.Franklin, and that alone was enough to stir a faint tension in his chest, because Franklin wasn’t the type to call without reason, especially not at this hour, and when he did, it usually meant something important.Answering without delay, Drake’s voice carried a low alertness. “What’s going on?”There was no attempt at pleasantries on the other end, no wasted breath on unnecessary words, just Franklin’s voice cutting straight through the line with calm precision. “Do you know someone named Hannah Connor?”The question landed unexpectedly, throwing Drake off balance for just a second as his brows drew together, confusion set
