Scarlett answered before he could spiral further. "He's the global CEO of the Cross Corp."Louie froze.Then slowly turned his head upward to look at her.The shock hit him so hard his brain nearly short-circuited.Thankfully, the visit to SH Entertainment earlier had given him at least some emotional cushioning.Otherwise, he might've passed out.That night, Louie barely slept at all.He spent hours trying to process everything that had happened in a single day.He wasn't the only one awake.Colin didn't sleep much either.But unlike Louie, he was too excited.Today was the day the miracle doctor would finally arrive to heal his leg.No more being trapped in bed."Dad, has Doctor Nyx arrived yet?"He kept looking out the window toward the front gate, so often his eyes felt strained."Relax. He should be here any minute."Even Larry had stationed people outside to keep watch.The moment the doctor a

The next few days were gloomy and soaked with rain.But by Friday, the skies finally cleared.Scarlett took Amy shopping, determined to buy her mother a proper new wardrobe."Mom," she said, pointing ahead, "there's a jewelry store over there. Want to take a look?"Amy followed the direction Scarlett pointed and froze for a second.Just from the luxurious storefront alone, she could tell everything inside would cost a fortune."I don't even wear jewelry," she said, shaking her head. "Don't waste your money. You've already bought me so many clothes-that's more than enough. Let's just go home."She still didn't know about SH Entertainment.In her mind, Scarlett had just gotten out of prison-there was no way she had much money. Honestly, even the clothes felt like too much, but Scarlett had insisted on buying them anyway, leaving her no room to refuse."Let's just take a look," Scarlett said casually. "Looking doesn't cost anything."Sh

Truthfully, Scarlett had never resented her for remarrying.She knew exactly what kind of man her biological father had been-irresponsible, selfish, and never around.She understood her mother had suffered too.What she could never forgive, however, was something else.When her grandfather was dying, he had called Mossa and begged her to come back and take Scarlett away.She never came.Mossa kept ranting."And as for prison-that was your own fault! You ruined Sadie's life, then stormed her wedding to James. If Sadie hadn't nearly died proving her innocence, their relationship would've been over. James believed her in the end, but his parents never accepted her after that. Their wedding has still never happened-and it's all because of you!"Scarlett let out a low, humorless laugh."You still have the nerve to laugh?!" Mossa shrieked."I'm laughing because I'm happy," Scarlett said.Mossa froze."Happy?""Yes. Happy bec

Scarlett let out a cold laugh and stepped to his side."Brielle, you dumped my brother because you wanted to marry into wealth. You chose to become the Drake family's future daughter-in-law."Her tone sharpened."And now that my brother has become chairman of SH Entertainment, suddenly you regret it? Suddenly you want him back?"She took another step forward. "And if he says no, he's heartless?"Scarlett's gaze cut straight through her."You made your choices. Just because you lower your head now doesn't mean anyone owes you forgiveness." Her voice dropped, steady and cutting. "Who exactly do you think you are? The center of the universe?"Brielle's face turned an ugly mix of red and pale.She looked like she couldn't decide whether to scream or cry."Scarlett! This is between me and your brother. You have no right to speak!"Inwardly, she seethed.Once she reconciled with Louie-once she became Mrs. Monroe and sat in the chairma

Louie stared at Scarlett in shock.He'd once thought she might be a three-star lieutenant general.That had already seemed impossible.But now-His little sister stood far beyond that.She was the nation's guardian.The commander of the Obsidian Unit.Country A's first female war legend.Was he proud?Absolutely.But as that pride swelled in his chest, something else hit even harder.Pain.Because beneath all those titles...she was still just a young woman.If life had been kinder, she could have been someone cherished, protected, treated like royalty.Instead-she had fought on battlefields, drenched in blood and hardship.What had she sacrificed to earn such glory?The thought tore at him.As her brother, he had failed to protect her.And that realization cut deeper than anything.He made a silent vow.He would stand again. He would recover completely.And once he di
