Chapter 131: Another Damage

Vanessa Quinn stood confidently near the entrance of the hall.Unlike everyone else, she appeared completely relaxed.Almost amused.The sight of her immediately sent murmurs through the crowd.Reporters began whispering among themselves.The journalists hurried to reposition their cameras.This was exactly the kind of dramatic confrontation they had hoped to witness.Curtis's gaze shifted to his staff beside him, then turn to the crowd right in front of him.He released a hot breath."Get the security to take this bitch out of here. Now!" Curtis whispered to his assistant who stood close to him.Curtis face was filled with rage, but instantly mask it because of the cameras and the crowd.Harrison immediately moved away to carry out the instruction.However, Vanessa showed no signs of fear.Instead, she smiled.The smile alone made Curtis's expression darken further.The entire hall seemed suspended in tension.Everyone could sense that something significant was about to happen.Vanes

Chapter 132: Beneath the Truth

"So it has gotten to this?" Tessa asked, her face filled with pain and disappointment. "Tell me the truth, Curtis. Are you truly the father of that woman's child?"Tessa was seated in the living room, staring at the television screen that had been flooded with news reports, expert opinions, and endless speculation. The press conference had already become the hottest topic in business circles, and every channel seemed determined to discuss nothing else. The moment Curtis stepped into the house, he looked exhausted. His suit was slightly wrinkled, his tie hung loose around his neck, and his face carried the expression of a man who had been fighting battles from every direction.The atmosphere inside the room immediately turned tense.Tessa had been waiting.Waiting for him to return.Waiting for an explanation.Waiting for him to tell her something that would finally make sense of everything happening around them.Instead, all she had received were more questions.Curtis stopped movi

Chapter 133: The Hidden Benefactor

"Is he going to be okay?" Curtis asked the doctor worriedly, turning from Harrison's unconscious body to the doctor."The accident led to some internal bleeding and a severe injury behind his head." The doctor explained. "He wouldn't have survived this, but he was brought in early. He's going to make it. He's stable now. Just give him some time. He'll wake up."Curtis stood quietly after hearing those words. The tension that had been tightening around his chest since Harrison was rushed into the hospital loosened slightly, but only slightly. His eyes slowly returned to the young man lying motionless on the hospital bed.Machines surrounded Harrison, quietly monitoring his condition. His face looked unusually pale, and the thick bandage wrapped around his head made the entire situation feel far more serious than Curtis wanted to admit. Just a few hours ago, Harrison had been healthy, walking around, investigating the DNA case with his usual determination.Now he lay unconscious beca

Chapter 134: The Recorded Truth

Pascal had secretly returned, driven by something dangerous no one knew until now.Inside a private lounge hidden away from public attention, he sat comfortably across from Vanessa. The room was quiet, luxurious, and completely isolated from curious eyes. A bottle of expensive wine rested between them on the table, untouched. Both of them looked relaxed, carrying the confidence of people who believed their plans were succeeding."Everything is proceeding perfectly." He assured her, nodding.Vanessa smiled."The Deveraux family is already falling apart." She said, her face lit with a victorious smile. "You're doing great, Pascal. That's why I chose you for this job."Pascal leaned back proudly.There was not the slightest trace of guilt on his face. Instead, satisfaction shone in his eyes. Watching Curtis struggle publicly had become a source of enjoyment for him. Every negative headline, every accusation, and every challenge facing Ecofel felt like a personal victory."Once Curtis

Chapter 135: The Truth Unleashed

"Give me that, bitch!" Pascal snapped furiously, pushing forward from his seat, trying to seize the phone.The moment the words left his mouth, he lunged across the table with complete disregard for the people around them. His face had become twisted with panic and rage. The confidence he had carried into the meeting had vanished completely, replaced by desperation. He no longer looked like a man in control of the situation. Instead, he looked like someone watching his entire plan collapse before his eyes.Tessa jerked backward instinctively.Her chair scraped loudly against the floor as she pushed herself away from the table. Her heart slammed violently against her chest. The phone in her hand suddenly felt more valuable than anything she had ever carried.She understood exactly what that recording meant.It was proof.It was the evidence capable of exposing months of manipulation.And Pascal knew it too.Without wasting another second, Tessa rose from her seat and ran.Pascal im

Chapter 136: The Secret Inheritance

Her brother was about leaving his office when Tessa confronted him.She pushed the door open without knocking and walked straight inside. The determination on her face immediately made Jason stop what he was doing. One hand was already reaching for his suit jacket draped over the chair while a stack of files sat neatly arranged on his desk. He had clearly been preparing to leave.The moment he saw his sister's expression, however, he knew something was wrong."Tell me the truth, Jason."The seriousness in her voice made him pause.For several seconds he simply stared at her.Confusion crossed his face before concern followed immediately afterward."Okay, someone needs to calm down right now." He said, raising both hands. "Why don't you seat let's talk about this."Tessa remained standing.Her eyes never left his face.The words Vanessa had spoken continued echoing inside her head. Ever since leaving the police station, she had been unable to think about anything else.The secret inh

Chapter 137: The Hidden Claim

Tessa and Jason immediately rushed to the board meeting, carrying the inheritance document with them. The atmosphere inside the conference room was unusually tense. Several directors sat with grim expressions while legal advisers whispered among themselves. The moment the siblings entered, the low conversations gradually died down until complete silence settled over the room. Every gaze shifted toward Tessa, making it clear that whatever was happening revolved around her.Tessa slowed her steps slightly as she approached the long conference table. The inheritance document felt heavier than before in her hands. She could already sense that the emergency meeting was not going to bring good news.Jason walked beside her with a stern expression. He pulled out a chair for his sister before taking his own seat. One of the senior directors, Mr. Philip, slowly rose from his chair. His face carried the seriousness of a man delivering unwelcome news."Mrs. Deveraux," Mr. Philip greeted, st

Chapter 138: The Man Who Should Be Dead

Curtis worked quietly behind the scenes while Tessa focused her attention on the inheritance crisis that seemed to grow more complicated with every passing moment.Through his private investigator, he began digging into the identity of the man whose signature had appeared among the suspicious ownership documents. The deeper they looked, the stranger the situation became. Every official record stated that the businessman had died more than twenty years ago. There were death certificates, newspaper reports, legal notices, and archived company records confirming the event. Yet the signature Curtis had discovered appeared genuine.The contradiction refused to leave his mind.Meanwhile, Tessa found herself buried under an entirely different problem.News about the secret luxury empire somehow leaked to the public.Nobody knew how the information escaped.What had been hidden for generations suddenly became the hottest business story in the country.Financial news channels continued disc

Chapter 139: Back from the Dead

"Good day, ladies and gentlemen." The mysterious man started as he climbed the podium. "It is my pleasure to finally stand before you today. My name is Victor Blackwood."A polite round of applause echoed through the hall.Victor smiled warmly before continuing."I want to thank every distinguished guest present here for accepting my invitation. In a world where people are often divided by competition, ambition, and personal interests, it is refreshing to see so many accomplished individuals gathered together under one roof."His voice carried smoothly across the hall.The audience listened attentively.And Victor continued speaking with remarkable confidence."For many years, I remained away from public attention while focusing on matters that required patience and careful planning. However, every journey eventually reaches a turning point. Every hidden story eventually finds its way into the light. Tonight is not merely a celebration of charity and goodwill. It is also the beginning

Chapter 140: The Flash Drive

"Dad—""Seat down, child." Her father said with a warm smile, cutting her off.Tessa released a breath as her shoulders dropped slightly. The urgency that had carried her all the way to the house was still burning inside her, but she obeyed and lowered herself into the chair opposite him.She had barged into the study without bothering with formalities. She had not greeted anyone. She had not paused to gather her thoughts. Ever since she discovered the photograph and the message written behind it, countless questions had been racing through her mind. The appearance of Victor Blackwood, the inheritance, the photograph, and her father's presence in it had created a storm she could no longer ignore.Her father watched her carefully from behind his desk.Age had made him calmer, wiser, and far more observant. He could easily see the anxiety written across his daughter's face. He knew she had not come for a casual visit. He also knew exactly what had driven her here.Like everyone else,
