Nestor rushed to the airport with Selina and Joseph. The scene that greeted them in the secluded corner of the parking lot was chilling - the air thick with the metallic scent of blood.Over a dozen security guards in tactical black gear lay motionless on the ground. Each was wounded in different pl
While Dominic had been spotted in various countries, Evan's last known location was, surprisingly, Auroville.Selina immediately connected Evan's presence to the foreign capital Noah and Liam mentioned. If she remembered correctly, foreign interference had also been behind the Adams incident. Things

As for David, Selina was so angry she refused to even mention him."How did things go with William and Grandfather?" Selina asked Thomas in a low voice, noticing Daniel and Nicole seemed relaxed.Thomas, wanting to make amends, told her everything.Bruno had taken in Dominic's remaining men and disc

After tossing and turning, Selina couldn't fall back asleep. After calculating the time difference, she decided to call Thomas.Thomas had just finished dealing with William's matter when he saw Selina's call. Checking the time in Japan, his expression changed slightly as he quickly answered."Selin
Worried he wouldn't believe her, she added, "You can verify right now who really controls S Tech Group."Bruno hesitated before hanging up to verify Selina's claims.He had originally planned to stay by Selina's side as David, hoping she would gradually fall for him.He believed that with enough tim
