Moment

The grandeur of Howe Manor was now cloaked in an air of desolation.

Alex, dressed in a black suit, stood with a stern expression.

The once gentle and refined aura he radiated had given way to an intimidating presence that unnerved those around him

He walked briskly through the long corridors, his footsteps echoing in the vast emptiness.

Servants and bodyguards, standing to the side, remained silent and motionless, hardly daring to breathe under his gaze.

In just a few days, Alex had decisively purged the Howe Manor of any disloyalty.

Anyone connected to Terrance or the Perry family had been mercilessly expelled.

The fortunate ones were simply ousted, while others vanished without any trace.

The entire estate seemed to resonate with an ominous scent of blood.

Simultaneously, the Perry family’s businesses across Helva toppled into bankruptcy, one after another.

The commercial empire that Elbert had carefully built disintegrated overnight.

The remnants of the Perry family, like a defeated army, hastily fled abroad, vowing never to return.

The once formidable Perry family had been completely dismantled.

As night descended and the city lights twinkled, Alex stood alone before a floor–to–ceiling window, surveying the cityscape.

He held a glass of red wine, gently swirling it, his expression unreadable.

Soon, the door opened, and Noah entered.

Despite showing signs of fatigue, his appearance was still impeccable.

“Sit.” Alex motioned to the sofa, inviting Noah to join him.

Without hesitation, Noah took a seat across from Alex, the weight of the atmosphere palpable between them.

Alex finished his wine in one gulp and then reached for the bottle to pour a glass for Noah.

“In the end, I owe you thanks,” Alex said, his tone light yet devoid of emotion. “Without your assistance, I couldn’t have neutralized the Perry family so efficiently.”

He paused, then added, “Regardless, you’re my friend. This drink is for you.”

He lifted his glass toward Noah.

Noah regarded Alex, his expression deep and inscrutable.

He remained silent, his glass untouched.

Alex’s smile faltered.

“Noah, I realize you’re upset with me,” Alex began, setting his glass down, his voice tinged with bitterness. “But I… I did all

this for Averi and her.”

Noah cut in, his tone icy and flat. “Alex, don’t dress it up as nobility. You know the full extent of your actions. If not for

Averi, why would I have assisted you?”

Alex’s demeanor shifted, his hands forming fists. “What are you implying?” he asked, his voice rising slightly with anger.

Tm being clear,” Noah responded sharply,

s stare unwavering

“I can’t overlook what you did to Sadie. My help was for Averi’s sake, not yours.”

Alex’s complexion darkened. He rose swiftly, his eyes locking on Noah. “I love Sadie, and I won’t just walk away from her.

If you want me to step back to repay you, then I reject it,” he declared firmly.

“If it comes down to a confrontation over her, I’m ready. I don’t fear you,” Noah said, his look becoming frosty. “Are you

challenging me, Alex?”

“You might say that,” Alex retorted, standing his ground.

“Fine. So be it,” Noah said with a sneer. “We’ll see how this ends.”

With those words, he stood and left.

“Noah!” Alex called after him. “Are you really going to turn against me over a woman?”

Noah stopped but did not turn around.

“Alex, you’re mistaken. It’s not about me turning against you; it’s about you betraying me. From the moment you took

Sadie away from me three years ago, you chose to be my enemy. She is neither a bargaining chip nor a commodity.

Remember that.”

With those words, Noah walked away, not once glancing back.
