Chapter 131: The Anniversary

The peach dress lay waiting on the bed. Full length, long sleeves, high neck. The kind of dress that hid everything. She stared at it for a long moment, her stomach already knotted tight. She didn't touch it. Today was the day. The whole city would be watching her stand beside Jeffery like the perfect wife while Eclipse Breed hunted her head for half a billion dollars.She walked to the window instead.The door opened behind her.Jeffery stood there, already dressed in a sharp suit. His eyes went to the dress, then to her."Put it on," he said."It covers everything. I can't wear it," Clara replied, still facing the window."Put it on, Clara."She turned slowly. For a second she thought about fighting him again, but the memory of his hands on her last night still burned."They want your head. If they cannot get that, they might start with your legs. Even if you lose one today, it should stay hidden under expensive fabric."Clara held his stare, then picked up the dress. The fabric fe

Chapter 132: If She dies, We all Die

Logan hit the accelerator the moment the car doors closed. The city blurred past the windows. Traffic tried to slow them down but Logan went around it anyway, cutting through small gaps, pushing the engine harder than it was meant to go. The tires screeched at every turn.Jeffery sat in the back with Clara across his lap. His hand pressed hard against her wounds, trying to hold the blood in. The peach dress was soaked through. She was barely breathing. He checked his watch. Looked at the road ahead. Checked his watch again."Faster," he said."Sir I am already..""If you cannot drive faster then stop the car and let me drive."Logan drove faster.The hospital entrance was ready when they arrived. Two nurses stood outside with a stretcher. The doors were propped open. The path had already been cleared.The car stopped hard. Jeffery kicked the door open before Logan could turn off the engine. He lifted Clara himself, both arms under her, and placed her on the stretcher in one smooth mo

Chapter 133: Welcome to the New World, Strong Ivy

Clara had been moved from the operating room to a private bed on the same floor. The machines came with her beeping steadily, breathing for her, watching every small sign of life. The small team that had stood through all seven hours of surgery now stood quietly around the edges of the room, tired and silent.The doctor stood at the foot of the bed, his shoulders heavy. Jeffery stood near the door, hands inside his pockets, watching everything with that same calm face he had worn since they arrived."The injection, sir," the doctor said. His voice was low and careful. "We are in a position where both options carry serious consequences, and I need you to understand that before we decide anything."He looked directly at Jeffery."If we give it to her now, it will wipe her memory the way you want. But her body has just been through seven hours of surgery. Her brain is under more stress than it has ever been in her life. Giving her the agent right now means the chances of her surviving i

Chapter 134: The Demon Must Fall

He picked up the chart and started writing with unsteady hands, noting every intervention and vital sign.Outside the hospital, the press had not left. They had been waiting since the car first arrived hours ago, and they were still there - cameras ready, microphones out, restless and hungry. The footage from the amusement park played on every screen and every phone: Clara on the stage in the peach dress making her pregnancy announcement, the crowd cheering, then the sudden shots and chaos. Jeffery dropping to one knee. Logan's car speeding away."Mrs. Clara Rothwell shot at anniversary celebration following pregnancy announcement. Condition still unknown. No statement from the Rothwell family."The city that had been celebrating that evening had turned into something else. People talked in groups. They watched the videos again and again. They felt helpless, the way people do when something big happens to someone they feel like they know.The Rothwell camp had said nothing yet.They

Chapter 135: We are almost there Baby

Jeffery stood in the doorway for a long moment. His cold eyes locked onto the nurse standing too close to Clara's bed. The file in her hands shook just a little as she turned to face him under the harsh hospital lights.He stepped inside slowly and closed the door behind him with a quiet click. The room felt smaller right away with his presence filling every corner and pressing down on the air. The machines kept beeping steadily but the atmosphere grew thick and heavy between the three of them like something bad was about to break."What are you doing near her?" Jeffery asked again in that deep cold voice. He moved closer to the bed with slow steps that made the nurse press her back against the side rail. She held the file tighter against her chest like it could somehow protect her from what might come next in this tense space."I came to check her charts and vital signs," the nurse said quickly. Her voice stayed steady on the outside but her fingers gripped the papers harder than

Chapter 136: Rothwell Family

ADRIAN'S APARTMENTAdrian stepped into the quiet sitting room with a towel still wrapped around his head. Water drops fell slowly from the ends onto his shoulders but he did not bother fixing it. His eyes locked straight on Cole, the man who usually run things for him discreetly. Cole sat waiting with a thick folder on his knee like it held the final piece of a dangerous puzzle.He dropped into the chair across from Cole and pulled the towel down around his neck. The room felt charged with heavy silence. "Tell me what you found," Adrian said in a low voice that demanded every detail.Cole opened the folder carefully. He placed the first sheet on the table between them and spoke in a steady tone. "The test is clear sir. Jeffery Rothwell does not match George Rothwell. The man we know as Jeffery has no biological link to George at all. No shared pattern. Nothing."Adrian picked up the paper and scanned it line by line. His fingers tightened around the edges until the paper almost wrink

Chapter 137: The Grieving Husband

MALCOLM'S MANSIONMalcolm sat in his mansion with a glass of whiskey in his hand. The television played low in the background while the city lights blinked outside the large window. For two days now every station kept replaying the news about Clara Rothwell's death. He listened for a moment then reached for the remote and switched the TV off with a tired motion. Her death did not freak him. It only felt distant like something that happened to other people in other worlds. He took another slow sip and stared at the dark screen.Suddenly the door burst open. One of the guards rushed in breathing hard and greeted him quickly. "Sir, they are just announcing it now that Daniel is dead. He was found dead in his apartment. They say his body was almost rotten when they discovered it."Malcolm froze. The glass slipped from his fingers and landed on the floor with a loud clink. Daniel. His most trusted man. The one who drove better than anyone, spied without getting caught, gave him informa

Chapter 138: New Look

Jeffery sat in the back of the car with Sophia leaning on his shoulder. He kept his head low for a moment then spoke in a tired voice that carried through the small space.“I have to stop by somewhere important.”Sophia lifted her head slowly and looked at him with concern written across her face. “But we were just returning from the funeral,” she said. Her fingers stayed on his arm like she did not want to let go just yet. The black dress she wore still carried the smell of the cathedral incense.“I understand your concern Soph,” Jeffery replied softly. “I won’t stay long.” He told Logan to pull over at the next junction. The car stopped smoothly beside the sidewalk. Sophia stepped out and stood there watching the car drive away until it disappeared around the bend. She pulled out her phone and called her friend Emma to come pick her up. A small smile touched her lips once the car was completely gone from sight. She crossed her arms and waited under the street light.Back inside

Chapter 139: Number

The elevator doors slid shut behind Jeffery and Logan. Neither man spoke as the elevator descended through the floors. They left the hospital through a private exit and entered the waiting car. Logan started the engine and pulled away from the building. Streetlights reflected across the windows while traffic moved steadily around them.Jeffery sat in the back seat with one arm resting against the door. His gaze remained fixed on the passing city lights for several minutes before he finally spoke."How far have you gotten with the number?"Logan glanced at the rearview mirror."The number from Clara's organization," Jeffery added."We're still working on it sir" Logan replied. "The registered information belongs to a dead man."Jeffery's eyes narrowed slightly. "A dead man?"Logan nodded while keeping his attention on the road."He died years ago. I'm heading to verify a few things after I drop you off at the mansion. Something about the records doesn't add up."Jeffery leaned back a

Chapter 140: Blood Betrayal: The Last Sister

Grayson froze on his seat. The fishing rod shifted slightly against his knee. His face slowly lost color as he stared at Logan. Sophia? Same sister who always acted as though board meetings bored her to death. One who behaved as if shopping trips mattered more than company shares. The same girl who spent years convincing everyone she had no interest in power. The older man's throat tightened. "No... it can't be...Are you sure about this" The words escaped before he could stop them. Logan lowered his head. "You know we have full equipments for tracking at the basement. I wanted her to be wrong as well. I mixed up the photograph with someone else and asked again. I showed her different angles. I asked the same questions in different ways. Every single time she pointed at Sophia."The shock remained written across the older man's face. Then something worse slowly appeared. Understanding. His eyes returned to Logan and a terrible realization settled between them. "Does that mean..."
