Rodney was still in the middle of raging when the doors of the villa were shoved open from outside. A line of uniformed officers entered at once.

Jerome did not struggle.

He stood there quietly and let them lock mental power-suppression restraints around his wrists.

Rodney, on the other hand, was still snarling, cursing, trying to bolt. One of the officers knocked him flat, pinned him down, hit him hard enough to stop the resistance, then cuffed

him as well.

After that, both men were hauled out of the luxurious estate and forced into a police vehicle.

The sky that day was dark and oppressive.

Clouds hung low and thick, as if they might collapse from the weight of themselves at any

moment.

Jerome lifted his head and looked once at that sky.

In that instant, he understood. There was no way back for him anymore.

The moment Rodney and Jerome were taken into custody, Ava received the news almost immediately. She contacted Queenie overseas at once and even sent her two photos of the pair wearing prison uniforms.

Queenie sat in her chair and looked at the images for a long time.

Then she laughed. She laughed until tears streamed down her cheeks.

So once all the expensive clothes were stripped away, that was all they were.

Just two ordinary men. Nothing extraordinary at all.

And

yet

those same two men had controlled her life for ten whole years.

Power really was a marvelous thing.

And in the end, even they were terrified of it.

“Rodney. Jerome.” Queenie stared at the photos and whispered, “I want you to watch with your

own eyes while the family you were so proud of collapses.”

“And I’ll keep living,” she said. “I’ll stay alive until the day you get out, and then I’ll personally send both of you to hell.”

News of Rodney and Jerome’s arrest detonated across Stellar Network.

Even though the official images blurred their faces, the comment sections were already overflowing with uncensored photos that other people had dug up.

“They looked human on the outside, but they’re monsters underneath.”

“My heart hurts for that girl. Those two b*stards tormented her for years.”

“How long before she can finally divorce them? Can’t the court speed it up for a case like this?”

“You know what’s strange? The Yeager family didn’t manage to bury this story. That’s seriously weird. Normally, with a scandal like this, she never would’ve gotten a chance to speak at all.”

“Didn’t anyone notice? This started exploding first in the Sixth Star System, not here. Think about what that means. If she had stayed here, do you really think this would ever have reached the public? She probably would’ve been erased before anyone heard a word.”

“And the Yeager family still hasn’t responded. Doesn’t that feel wrong? I’m telling you, there’s something even dirtier buried underneath this whole thing. It’s only getting uglier.”

No matter how loud public opinion became, Queenie never appeared again.

It was as if she had vanished. She had stepped into view once, with almost reckless courage, then disappeared just as quickly.

Half a month passed. The discussion around her gradually cooled.

And then the official media released another bombshell: Henry Yeager had been formally approved for arrest on suspicion of serious disciplinary and regulatory violations.

That one announcement shook the entire interstellar public.

Henry had once been regarded as one of the strongest possible successors to the Head of State. His downfall made him the highest-ranking figure to be taken down in years.

Public anger, which had only just begun to settle, exploded all over again. The whole network was cursing the Yeager family by name.

That day, Queenie was in the garden watering flowers when a message from Ava arrived.

“The court has officially accepted your divorce case and started the process. All you need to do now is wait for the result.”

Queenie stared at the words on the screen. Her eyes turned hot almost instantly.

So it was real. She was really getting divorced.

A small bird cut across the sky above her. Queenie lifted her head and followed it with her gaze until it vanished far away into the distance.

Still holding the watering can, she let the water fall over the flowers and grass and softly hummed the lullaby her mother used to sing to her when she was little.

From filing to judgment, the court moved through Queenie’s divorce case unusually fast.

When the ruling came down, Sebastian sent the decree directly to Queenie’s new Holoband.

“Mission accomplished. Queenie, you’re free.”

Queenie looked at that line for a long time. Then a beautiful smile slowly appeared on her face.

“Thank you, Professor Montclair.”
