Chapter 0143 

In Ambervale, two months had passed since Albert’s death, and Agent Count had finally uncovered key Information related to Albert Preston’s arrest. 

“Mrs. Catherine, can we meet? I have something, I believe will interest you. I’ve sent part of it to your emall, but it’s imperative you see the rest in person. 

“Agent Count, tell me where, and I’ll be there.” 

“We’ll meet at the ” 

“Agent Count? Are you still there?” 

The line abruptly went dead. Catherine never heard from him again. The files he had sent left her with more questions than answers. Agent Count had vanished, and whatever he had discovered was now shrouded in mystery. 

[Meanwhile in Valeria] 

In just a week, the wedding of the year would take place. Maximus Palmer and Alexia Levett were set to marry in Brighton’s grand cathedral. The event promised to be a lavish affair, drawing the crème de la crème of society. 

Social magazines were abuzz with articles about the union of the young couple. On social media, the love story of Alexia and Maximus said to have begun at just sixteen–captured hearts everywhere. Many women envied Alexia, longing for their own fairytale romance and a wedding of such grandeur. 

Judge Levett was elated. Thanks to his granddaughter, he would once again walk the halls of Palmer Group. Today, as pieces fell perfectly into place, he believed he had finally rid himself of Marcus Bartz. Soon, he thought, Mary Preston would be nothing more than a distant memory.

“Mary, Peter… do you want to know the baby’s gender?” Dr. Roman asked with a smile. 

“What? Can we already find out?” Peter said, surprised. 

“I’ve already seen it, but it’s up to you. Do you want to know now, or wait for it to be a surprise when the baby is born?” 

“Mary, what do you think?” Peter asked, taking her hand. His eyes betrayed his eagerness, though he tried to appear patient. 

Mary smiled, glancing at Dr. Roman. “It’s time. Let’s find out!” she said, watching as Peter’s eyes lit up with excitement.

“Sir, the relocation was successful. My contacts confirm that Frank Levett is no longer looking for you. It seems he fell for the decoy.” 

“We can’t get too comfortable. Have you been able to contact Dr. Olson?” Marcus asked. 

“Yes, sir. She’s ready to travel to Hesperia for the procedure. Everything will go smoothly. Soon, you won’t need the cane anymore. 

“I hope so, Frederick. Every time I look in the mirror, I see a decrepit old man.” 

“Don’t say that, sir. For someone who had one foot in the grave, you’re doing remarkably well.” 

“Have you reviewed how our business ventures in Valentia are faring?” 

Η 

“Yes, sir. Peter sent the reports. You’ve done an excellent job mentoring him. He’s been acquiring smaller businesses, and together they’ll form a conglomerate that could rival, if not surpass, Palmer Group.” 

Marcus sighed deeply, gazing out the large window of his office. “If my brother were alive, I’d have wanted him to be like Peter. I see a bit of my brother in him.” 

“I know, sir. Mr. Palmer has a gift for business.” 

“Yes, he’s surprised me. When I first met him, he was just a scared but defiant boy. Now, look at him- he’s about to become a father.” 

“Life goes on, sir. Time doesn’t stop, and Mr. Palmer was bound to settle down eventually.” 

“Let’s take a walk on the beach, Frederick. I need some air.”

“Peter, son, that’s wonderful news! Have you told your grandmother? She’ll go crazy with joy,” Leonard said excitedly. “I already know the answer, but I have to ask–will you come to your brother’s wedding?” 

“No, Father. You know I won’t. Give him my congratulations, but I’d rather keep my distance.” 

“I understand, son. But years have passed. Just as you and I managed to repair our relationship, you should try to talk to Maximus.” 

“Father, what originally drove us apart is behind us now, but things are more complicated than before. Be satisfied that we’ve seen each other at the company without breaking into a fight.” 

“Peter!”
