Chapter 201: How Much Is Your Heart Truly Worth?

I felt the blood leave my head.My breathing turned shallow.Alexander’s plan was meticulous. It had been years in the making.The core team had been vetted for over a decade.A leak was impossible.In the original story, Gerald never even touched the overseas core.The dismantling of his shadow network was a fixed point in history.Unless there was a new variable.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to meet Gerald's gaze."Words are cheap. You have no proof.""You want proof?"Gerald’s dark, sinister eyes gleamed with triumph."He’s gone dark, hasn't he? You can't reach him.""I am the reason he is missing.""Switzerland is a long way from home, Lisa. Without my say-so, he isn't coming back in one piece."His tone softened, turning into a low, vibrating threat."What did you do to him?" I snapped, my voice trembling with fury.Gerald watched the panic flaring in my eyes.He

Chapter 202: That Old Bastard's Reach Is Insane

Song Sheng's fingers flew across her tablet screen. She looked up, confused."Lila Bennett? That name sounds familiar...""Wait, the new assistant in the executive office?""Why are we looking into her? Does she have something to do with what happened to Alexander?"I didn't explain. I grabbed my bag and headed for the door."Just dig.""Everything she's been up to lately. Especially any connection to Gerald."Song Sheng saw my face and knew better than to push. She nodded."On it. I'll make it happen."I nodded back."I'm going to the office to wrap things up. Get the flight and visa sorted fast."I walked out of the conference room. My mind was a tangled mess.Lila Bennett.That name had been a thorn in my side for too long.I should have seen this coming.In the original book, this never happened.Alexander's overseas cleanup was supposed to be tense but ultimately fine. No radio silence.Now thi

Chapter 203: The One Who Tied the Knot Must Untie It

My eyes burned, hot and swollen. But I clenched my jaw, refusing to let the tears form.Couldn't cry.If I cried, I'd really lose.Gerald Knight was probably sitting back, waiting for news of me falling apart.Lose my composure. Lose the fight. Lose to the old bastard who wanted to see me break.I breathed deep. Forced my spine straight. Bamboo that bends but never breaks.My phone buzzed in my palm. A message from Song Sheng on Messenger.[Lisa! I found something on Lila Bennett. It's interesting.][Get on your flight first. Call me when you land. Don't panic.]Get on my flight?I pressed my lips together and called her back.She answered immediately."Lisa? Did you take off?" Her voice was confused."Didn't make it."My voice was rough."Visa was blocked at the last minute. Top level.""What?!"Song Sheng swore. She understood instantly."That old bastard's reach is insane.""Yeah."

Chapter 204: Sharpen Your Blade. I'll Be Back.

Luke and Soren both looked at Alexander.Alexander's face was calm. No expression.Through the receiver, Gerald's voice dripped with poisonous persuasion."Surprised, Alexander?""The woman you treasure more than your own life? She's been working with me all along.""The person you trusted enough to bring into your inner circle sold you out to me. Every last secret.""Your Zurich strategy. The key codes. The money trail. Everything she knew, I knew.""The price? I guarantee that after your divorce, she keeps every asset you transferred to her. She lives like a queen for the rest of her life.""You broke every rule for her. Fought your own family. Put her on a pedestal.""And she stabbed you in the back. Deep.""Women like her, with her background, they have no real vision or courage. Self-preservation is instinct.""Your biggest mistake was taking her seriously."Gerald's voice was steady. Every detail vivid.Every wor

Chapter 205: Want Her Spot? Get in Line for a Prison Cell

Alexander lifted his eyes. His gaze was cold as steel."I wanted to boil the frog slowly. A smooth transition. Leave some dignity.""But I was too merciful.""He pushed me to this. There's no turning back now.""The only way to end this farce is to destroy him completely. Leave him with nothing."Luke's breath caught. The finality of it shook him."Shit. You're really going to light the match? Burn down your own family's legacy?""Legacy?"Alexander's lips twisted."Just a cage for the next generation."Soren's eyes flickered. His face was grave."The Scorched Earth Plan doesn't just destroy the Knight family's past. It destroys your present, Alexander.""Knight Group will collapse. You'll have nothing.""Starting from zero. Nothing but thorns ahead."Alexander turned to Soren. Their eyes met. No words needed."To rebuild, you must first tear down.""If the old fortress is

Chapter 206: Sending You to Prison to Sew Uniforms

Lila's mouth twitched. She instinctively covered her face.[System! This NPC has become sentient!]System: [...]I watched her expression. Crossed my legs. Swayed my foot. My tone was casual."You have the loosest lips I've ever seen. You just blurt everything out.""Add to that your obsession with following the script and trying to steal someone else's man, and combined with my extensive reading experience? It's classic transmigration fiction.""I just didn't think it actually existed."Lila looked like she was about to split in half.[Was I really that loose-lipped back then?]System: [Host, be confident. Remove 'back then'.]Lila's face shifted through several shades. She took a deep breath. Let her shoulders drop in defeat."Fine. Since you've figured it out, I'll stop pretending."Her voice carried the frustration of long-suppressed irritation."Yes. I came here with a mission."I

Chapter 207: Mutiny! Everyone's Mutinying!

I knew when to stop pushing. I straightened up and pulled a business card from my small bag.A custom black card. Only a phone number on it."Fine. Take your time."I placed it on the table. Tapped it lightly with my fingertip."That's my private number. When you've made up your mind, call me."The door clicked shut behind me.In the cramped rental apartment, only Lila's heavy breathing remained. And the cold warning tone of the system in her head.Her eyes, despite herself, drifted to the black card on the table.---I pulled open the car door and slid into the driver's seat. Just as I fastened my seatbelt, my phone rang.Gerald Knight's name flashed on the screen.I let out a short laugh. Swiped to answer."Grandfather. You're in quite a hurry with this call.""Have you made up your mind?"Gerald's voice came through the receiver."My patience has limits."I cracked the

Chapter 208: Where Is My Wife?

"Lisa?!"On the other end of the line, all that answered him was the muffled thud of a phone hitting the floor, a few indistinct sounds of struggle, and then silence.Alexander's fingers tightened around his phone. His knuckles went white.Luke and Soren both looked at him."Alex?!"Luke's face changed. He shot to his feet.Alexander slowly lowered the phone. The screen showed the call had ended."Lisa's been taken."Luke's eyes went dark."Has to be Gerald. That snake. Playing dirty."Soren's voice was steady. He cut to the point fast."Location? Last signal?""New York. Outside her studio."Alexander's words came fast. His mind was clear."Luke. Contact Vance."Luke understood immediately. "You want him to use his military contacts?""Not just that."Alexander's voice was ice."Tell him to activate full surveillance. I want the route and destination of the vehicle that took her. Thirty minute

Chapter 209: I Am Not Your Pawn

Alexander listened to the long, twisted story in silence.The only sounds in the shrine were the soft crackle of candles and Gerald's heavy breathing.Finally, he spoke. His voice was eerily calm."Done?"Gerald froze.Alexander lifted his eyes. They were so dark they let in no light."Your tragedy came from your own blindness. Your own paranoia.""Delilah betrayed you. That was her sin.""Grandmother saved you. That was her grace.""But you blamed every woman you couldn't control for Delilah's crime. You used your fear and narrowness to torment your own blood.""What did my mother do wrong? She loved my father.""What did my father do wrong? He refused to be your tool for a marriage alliance.""What did Lisa do wrong? She loves me. And I love her."He stepped forward. His presence crushed the space between them."You're not doing this for me. You're doing it for yourself.""You'

Chapter 210: My Reckoning Has Just Begun

In the shrine, the shattering of the porcelain bowl was like a period. It cut off all of Gerald's triumph.He stared at Lila in disbelief. Then his head snapped toward Alexander."You two—""Not that early."Alexander's voice was flat."Right when you were using her spoilers, thinking you had already won.""Good. Very good!"Gerald's cloudy eyes fixed on Lila. Each word ground out between his teeth."You traitor! Even a little pawn like you dares to flip?""Why wouldn't I dare?"Lila cut him off. Her face was stripped of its usual timid mask. There was mockery in her eyes."Mr. Knight. A smart bird chooses its tree. And your tree is rotten to the core."Five hundred million.Money she could spend in this world too.Every second of hesitation was disrespect to cash.Sometimes, a corporate drone's awakening was simple. Boring even.Less than five minutes after Lisa left her apartment, Lila had alread
