Chapter 161: An Amorous Retreat

It had been an unrelenting few months. The calm closeness they had treasured had been buried under duties due to Nicholas's business expansion, Cassie's mentoring job, and their children's developing aspirations. Nicholas had noticed Cassie's tired eyes, how she slept off with a book on her lap but never opened the pages, and how she lingered in her art studio without painting.She wasn't alone. He sensed it, too.That's why he secretly organized this escape. They needed time to breathe, love, and just be.Cassie dropped her luggage at the door late that night and came home. Before she noticed Nicholas standing in the entryway, he put his arms around her waist and pulled her to his chest.Murmuring, "You look exhausted," he kissed her forehead.She let out a sigh to him. "I am. Today was a lot."With mischievous gleams in his blue eyes, Nicholas withdrew. "Good thing you're about to get a break."Cassie scowled. "What do you mean?""Pack your bag," was all he said. "We leave in an hou

Chapter 162: The Twins Collaborate

Although there had always been an abundance of imagination and energy in the Nicholas-Scott home, there was an extra buzz this week. The twins' enthusiasm was infectious as they worked on a project for their school's next show.Students displayed their most excellent work, fusing technology, art, and science, at the esteemed exhibition. It was a competition with a scholarship reward for the best idea, so it wasn't simply about impressing their peers.Ethan had been brainstorming for weeks with his passion for robotics and engineering. Being an artist at heart, Emma wanted to add originality to everything they constructed. Combining their skills to create something original was the problem.One evening, they sat around the big wooden dining table with samples, notes, and sketches. Nicholas and Cassie observed their children's animated argument from a distance with a smile.Ethan persisted, drawing furiously, "It must be interactive." "Something that engages people.

Chapter 163: Cassie Finds Inspiration

The colors no longer spoke to Cassie Scott as they once did as she stood in front of her blank canvas, brush in hand. The sole sound in the studio was the rain beating relentlessly on the window. Months had passed since she completed a painting, and she had lost the spark that once inspired her to create.She stepped back, exhaling. Her studio's once-tidy shelves were now a jumble of half-squeezed paint tubes and disused brushes. It was a cemetery of dead ideas.Her haven had always been art. It felt like a jail lately, though.She had to breathe.She threw on a jacket, picked up her luggage, and walked out of her apartment, lost in the streets. Cassie hardly noticed the neon signs and the distant buzz of traffic that filled the metropolis. She followed her feet till she came upon an unexpected object: an ancient, hidden art gallery.Warm light radiated through the windows despite its diminutive size and near-hidden position between two larger buildings. Something about it pulled her

Chapter 164: Nicholas’s New Mentor Role

As a tutor, Nicholas Scott had never considered himself. His unwavering will to succeed, calculated risks, and sheer tenacity had allowed him to build his empire. He had to learn the hard way and claw his way to the top in a world where trust was a currency that could be quickly devalued because no one had mentored him when he first started.However, as the years went by, he transformed.Fatherhood might have been the cause. It may be the legacy idea.Or perhaps it was because he recognized in Lucas Caldwell a younger version of himself—a hungry, driven businessman at the beginning of what could be a spectacular success or a disastrous disaster.Nicholas had decided to ensure that it was the first.Twenty-four-year-old Lucas had just graduated from business school. With a creative mind and a heart determined to change the world, he was the founder of SolarTech Solutions, a modest but determined start-up dedicated to creating reasonably priced renewable energy solutions for marginalize

Chapter 165: An Important Family Occasion

The golden dusk light filled the estate, casting a warm glow over the carefully planned wedding space. The refreshing evening wind mixed with the pleasant aroma of white flowers along the garden path. Among the treetops, fairy lights flickered, as though to sanctify what was happening.Love was the main theme tonight, not extravagant parties or ostentatious financial displays. This unwavering love had withstood a fire and emerged stronger than ever. Cassie Scott rubbed her index finger over the ornate lace of her ivory-colored elephant gown while staring into a large mirror in their suite. The feeling was similar: simplicity, devotion, and an assurance of eternity, even though the clothing was very different from what she had worn a decade earlier.Quietly, Nicholas Scott leaned against the doorway behind her, admiring her. They have evolved. They had established a life, raised children, and overcome obstacles that would have caused most partnerships to fail. However, he continued

Chapter 166: Resurfacing History

It was not uncommon for the past to resurface at unexpected times. After years of eradicating the remnants of his father's empire, Nicholas Scott forged a new course based on moral rectitude and honesty. But the misdeeds of the past always managed to find him, no matter how far he tried to put them behind him.One news story was the beginning of it.Nicholas waited in his office and narrowed his eyes as the anchor's words filled the room.Breaking news: “Nicholas Scott, a wealthy philanthropist, is once again the target of allegations that his quick ascent was driven by illegal activities connected to his late dad's criminal organization. An anonymous source has provided documents that suggest financial transactions linking Scott's business empire to offshore accounts once controlled by the Scott syndicate."His father, Charles Scott, was shown in a courtroom decades ago in blurry black-and-white photographs that flickered on the screen. Nicholas felt sick to his stomach. He had spent

Chapter 167: A Family Under Siege

The storm had not yet passed.The media attack reached new, savage heights before Nicholas could comprehend Moretti's threat. The headlines and the scrutiny had become more vicious when his jet touched down in New York."Nicholas Scott: Philanthropist or Master Manipulator?""Blood Money? New Allegations Tie Scott Enterprises to Criminal Past!""The Scott Legacy: Can Nicholas Scott Ever Escape His Father's Shadow?"His life was being examined closely by every news outlet, social media site, and gossip column.The impact on his family, however, was worse than the lies.The walls begin to crumble.Cassie was there to welcome him when he arrived at their flat in Manhattan. Though it was tinted with tiredness, her face illuminated with relief as she saw him. It seemed as if she had not slept."The kids?" inquired Nicholas right away."They're home," Cassie stated in a strained voice. "But they're confused. Ethan refuses to go to school, and Emma— she paused. "She came home in tears today

Chapter 168: The Secret Tape

Long after Nicholas hung up, the threat's weight continued to loom. His knuckles turned white with anxiety as he tightened his hold on his phone. Cassie stood beside him, her face displaying a mix of resolve and worry.Despite the underlying terror, she spoke steadily: "We need to know what's coming next."Nicholas nodded. He had outrun his father's legacy for years, but it was now obvious that he could no longer run. He was forced to face it.A simple brown letter addressed to Nicholas was delivered to Scott Enterprises the following morning. It bore his name in prominent black characters without identifying markers or return address.Ethan put it on Nicholas' desk. Security conducted checks and found no tracking devices or bombs. However, the sender did not want to be identified.With a sharp exhale, Nicholas scooped it up. His gut told him this had nothing to do with last night's warning. He opened the envelope carefully and took out one flash drive.He and Cassie who had just arri

Chapter 169: A Near Miss

Deceptively, the night had been quiet.The estate had always been a fortress—an impenetrable stronghold built to safeguard Nicholas Scott's family—surrounded by acres of land and state-of-the-art security. However, that illusion was going to be destroyed tonight.The first sign that something was wrong was the shrill sound of the security alarms. Nicholas was awake before his instincts could even process what was happening. Cassie leaped to her feet next to him, her terrified eyes wide."Nicholas—what was that?"He was already going into his nightstand for the revolver. "Stay here," he urged in a quiet, authoritative voice. "Lock the door behind me."Cassie was already getting out of bed when she shook her head. "The kids—"The intensity was still there, but his tone softened as he said, "I'll handle it." "Go to them. Now."She hesitated a while, then nodded, picked up her robe, and rushed from the bedroom.Nicholas looked toward the increasing noise downstairs after watching her va

Chapter 170: The Mentor’s Revelation

Nicholas Scott rarely found himself in a location like the darkly lighted tavern. It was a forgotten relic of the industrial sector, where untraceable trades and whispered agreements formerly flourished. The smell of vintage whiskey blended with the subtle must of damp wood, and the air was heavy with smoke and remembrance.Nicholas looked around the room while adjusting his coat. The man's voice conveyed that he had no time to squander, even though he had only received the contact a few hours prior.Then he caught sight of him.Victor Calloway, a ghost from a past Nicholas had attempted to leave behind, and his father's previous right-hand man sat at a corner booth partially obscured by shadows.Victor's keen blue eyes were as piercing as Nicholas remembered, but he was older now, his once-powerful body a little thinner, his hair grayer.With an enigmatic expression, Nicholas slid into the seat across from him. "You mentioned that we should meet."Victor sipped his drink slowly and s
