Chapter 213

As soon as they got home, Richard was noticeably deflated–his authority had been stripped down a few notches. Everyone else seemed to be in high spirits… except him.

Richard was furious. So furious, in fact, he skipped dinner.

Banning him from spending time with Yvonne?

They might as well have ripped out his soul.

Actually, no–death would’ve been easier. At least that would’ve been quick.

Storming out of the living room with remarkable agility for a man his age, he looked every bit like someone about to start a

Yvonne thought he’d left in a fit of sadness. Her gaze followed him with guilt, eyes wide and glassy until his figure disappeared from view.

In reality, Richard marched straight home and called his assistant.

Speculation buzzed in their private group chats, but no one had a clue what was going on.

Still, they knew one thing for sure: when Richard planned to go to war, legal was always his first call. Gave them time to sharpen their knives.

The men and women gathered that evening were no rookies. Even the youngest was past thirty, hardened by years of high- stakes battles.
