“Bramwell!”
Soren sneered coldly. “What did I tell you? Like father, like son–or like family. They’ve all been hiding the truth, leeching off Niall’s achievements, feeding on his legacy, even destroying his own flesh and blood!”
They had benefited greatly, yet they weren’t grateful–they were greedy and ungrateful. They drove Niall’s daughter away, pressured her at every turn, and tarnished her reputation.
Luna hated Oriana so much that she would have loved to crush her completely, leaving her unable to rise again!
Doing such cruel things, and they feel no guilt? Not afraid of punishment?
Thankfully, the veil they thought was securely hiding their misdeeds had finally been torn away.
The whole truth was laid bare.
Xander’s face was stern as he folded his arms. He issued a sharp order to Soren. “Take them to the police. The money they received already counts as fraud. This concerns the reputation of a martyr–we will show no mercy.”
“Yes, sir!”
“And make sure no one leaks a word about this.”
“Yes, understood.”
Ignoring their desperate pleas and cries, Soren gathered the women and the driver, marching them to the station.
Xander turned to Drystan with a meaningful glance. “Don’t worry. Now that the truth is out, we won’t let these villains go free. They will be punished.”
Drystan finally took a careful look at the elderly man who had remained silent all this time.
Suddenly, he recognized him. His whole body stirred, and he straightened up to salute. “You
are Mr.-”
Xander held up a hand to stop him. “I’ve stepped down. I’ve let Niall and his family endure these grievances for so many years, and I feel guilty too.”

With that, Xander advised Drystan to take care of his health, then stepped away.

Ethan’s eyes flickered as he watched the elderly man leave. He got into his car and headed toward Jindiwood.

In Jindiwood, Luna changed into the dress Kai had sent her–luxurious, perfectly fitted, almost like a princess. She was thrilled.
“Grant, do you like my dress?”
Luna lifted her skirt slightly and twirled in front of Grant, who was still in a meeting in the
room.
Grant glanced, frowning a little. “It’s beautiful, but isn’t it a bit too flashy?”
Luna beamed. “Exactly what I want! Tomorrow’s a big day for you, and I need to match your fame and status. Plus, we’ll be greeting Mr. Stone and the other officials. There will be plenty of cameras, so I want to be well–prepared.
“And, Grant, the suit I prepared for you is custom–made by a top luxury brand—just to highlight your status.”
Luna covered her mouth and giggled.
Grant thought for a moment, almost picturing himself as the center of attention, with Luna as the exquisite rose accentuating him.
He smirked slightly, eyes softening with approval. “Luna, you really thought this through.”
Luna happily spun a few more times, already imagining herself as the most dazzling woman in the room. She couldn’t wait–she wished time would fly!

After spending the night at Caldwell Estate, Oriana was woken early by Micah, still sore from sleep. She didn’t even have time for breakfast, hurrying back to the city.
She had switched shifts to attend the summit, starting her early shift today.
Having slept early the night before, Zara only realized Oriana had been gone for some time and sent her a message.
“I wanted to gossip with you, Oriana! And you’re already gone? Ah, so it’s true–Kenny’s illness

is real. He really can’t.”
Oriana said, “Yesterday, you two-”

“Nothing happened. I stayed in bed, very sexy, yet he went to the sofa and slept soundly. Snored all night. Totally hopeless.”
