Evelyn’s body collapsed to the ground.

Sirens wailed outside, red and blue lights flashing through the broken windows. Sophie was still in shock.

Nathan and Shallow rushed in first. Nathan cut the ropes from Sophie’s wrists while Shallow pulled her into a tight embrace.

“It’s over. You’re safe now… everything’s fine.”

Police officers stormed in, lifting Evelyn’s lifeless body away.

Sophie slowly came back to herself, clutching Nathan’s hand.

“Marcus–where is he? Is he okay?”

Shallow shook her head. “We don’t know yet. But… he should be here soon.”

On the rooftop.

Marcus’s phone buzzed twice in his pocket before he silenced it. A faint, almost mocking smile touched his lips.

“Viola, you haven’t changed. Still as naïve as ever.”

He exhaled slowly, eyes never leaving the woman before him.

“Don’t forget–this city is mine.”

For the first time, Viola’s confidence faltered. Her gaze hardened.

“What do you mean?”

Marcus’s smile curved sharper.

“Your little ‘cosmetics empire‘ has been nothing more than a cover for trafficking drugs. Did you really think you could hide that forever?”

At that moment, the rooftop doors slammed open. Armed police poured in, weapons raised. Viola’s eyes widened.

“Marcus, you really are just like your father!”

He gave a cold laugh.

“No. He would sacrifice anyone for power. I still have principles. Whatever else you have to say, tell it to the police.”

He turned and walked away as officers closed in. Behind him, Viola’s curses and shrieks rang out as she was dragged into custody.

Downstairs, Marcus rounded a corner. Someone was waiting.

It was Ryan.

Marcus stopped, lips curving faintly. “Thank you.”

Ryan sighed, adjusting his suit.

“Guess I was never cut out for games like hers.”

Not far away, Nathan and Shallow led Sophie outside. When she saw Marcus harmed, relief washed over her in a rush.

“Thanks to Attorney Ryan sharing everything he knew from the States, we finally had a way to bring her down.” Sophie’s gratitude overflowed.

Ryan gave a calm smile.

Chapter 280

“Don’t thank me. If Marcus hadn’t written a recommendation for me to the US royal committee, I never would’ve had access to those files. Viola’s empire looked like beauty products, but the truth? It was one of the biggest drug networks, moving shipments from South America to half the world.”

He shook his head.

“The authorities in the States are already closing in. Within weeks, the entire network will be gone.”

Marcus squeezed Sophie’s hand, tighter than ever. Having almost lost her, he wasn’t letting go again.

“And Evelyn…” Ryan cleared his throat. “I had eyes on her in the States, but I never thought she’d team up with Viola.”

Sophie lowered her gaze. The past was over. She didn’t want to dwell on it anymore. Watching the broadcast of the fashion gala’s success, her lips curved into a faint smile.

“From now on… it’s only good days.”

The Morgan Group weathered the storm untouched.

Sophie’s collaboration with Zoe made her an overnight star in the design world. With her past reputation as Liora, her popularity rivaled A–list

celebrities.

Three months later, one early morning-

Sophie jolted awake, pain gripping her belly. Panic filled her eyes.

“Marcus–the baby…!”

Marcus shot upright, still in his nightclothes. In a heartbeat he scooped her into his arms. All those drills and rehearsals paid off–his movements were steady, precise, automatic.

At the hospital, Sophie clung to his hand. Her fear was melting into disbelief.

“So soon?”

Marcus’s voice trembled despite his words: “Don’t be scared. I’m here.”

But his hand wouldn’t stop shaking.

She gave a weak laugh. “Remind me–who’s the one panicking here?”

At the maternity ward, family gathered. Her parents, Nathan, and Shallow all rushed over.

Shallow, perfectly dressed and glowing, waved her manicured hands.

“She said I get to hold the baby first!”

Nathan pinched the bridge of his nose. “You got up at dawn just to do your makeup for this?”

Shallow slapped his hand away. “So what? It’s important!”

Half an hour later, the operating room doors opened.

A nurse stepped out, smiling brightly, two bundles in her arms.

“Congratulations–it’s twins. A boy and a girl.”

The hall erupted in cheers.

But Marcus’s eyes were only on the gurney being wheeled out. Sophie lay there pale and unconscious, and tears streamed freely down his face.

Three months later.
