“Enough” Magnus cut her off sharply, his voice echoing through the room. The murmurs from the

elinsky members behind Chiara died down instantly

He went on. “In the past, you all favored Maxwell. That’s fine–I don’t care. Now he’s dead, and it’s time to face reality. You all know how this works: survival of the fittest. Maxwell didn’t hesitate to crush every male member of this family to secure his spot. I can forgive your ignorance, but I’m the last male Zelinsky standing now. So tell me–do you really think it’s smart to throw your lot in with a corpse?”

The room grew quiet as the powerless members of the family exchanged uneasy glances.

Maxwell’s pure bloodline no longer matters; he’s gone. Magnus may not have a completely pure lineage, but he still carries half the Zelinsky blood. He’s the only logical choice for Ezra’s heir now. There’s no way Ezra would hand over leadership to some distant relative.

Their minds raced as they weighed their options. Picking a side isn’t just a decision anymore–it’s a gamble, and everything is on the line.

Noticing the uncertainty on their faces, Magnus approached Chiara. With a chilling stare, he scoffed, “Is playing the victim effective in this family? If it were, my sister and I wouldn’t have endured so much

torment.”

Chiara’s jaw tightened as she glared at him, her composure starting to crack.

Magnus leaned in slightly, his voice dropping to a menacing tone. “You have two choices–kill me or bow

to me.”

“In your dreams. Do you really think Father would ever let you lead this family? You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, Magnus. The Zelinsky family will never accept you. Coming back here was your mistake,” Chiara snapped, refusing to back down.

“Is that so? Then you’d better hope I’m the one who’s
