Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 189

"Then say what you want," Andres said.

Xavier's eyes sharpened. "Your life for my father's."

Andres laughed—pure contempt. "Your father's life is owed to your grandfather."

Xavier's expression twisted. "So there's no negotiating."

Andres's gaze didn't move. "What have I done that made you think you get to negotiate with me?"

Molly had always been mesmerized by one thing about Andres: no matter where he was, no matter what was pointed at him, he never lost his composure.

People in the city loved to whisper that Andres held his position because some shadowy kingmaker—someone they called "KING"—backed him.

But the truth was, Andres didn't need anyone's protection to stand at the top.

Otherwise he wouldn't have held the family reins this long.

His calm arrogance lit Xavier up like gasoline.

Xavier flicked two fingers at his men. "Do it."

More than twenty men started forward—

Then a piercing car horn cut through the air.

Everyone turned.

Dozens of vehicles were flooding in from the far end of the road, boxing them in.

Black-clad security poured out—too many to count. The sheer numbers and formation crushed Xavier's group in an instant.

Xavier's face went tight with panic. He hadn't expected the board to flip.

Hans leaned toward the window and smiled at Xavier. "You used to work under Mr. Andres. How'd you forget his style?"

"From the day you disappeared, Mr. Andres already suspected you were involved in the murder of the previous head."

"Today's little setup? Custom-made for you."

"You think it's a coincidence you heard Mr. Andres was taking this road alone?" Hans sighed. "He wanted you to hear it."

"He was willing to let you walk away," Hans added softly. "You just didn't take the chance. You came back to die."
