Chapter 190: Chapter 190

The ambulance finally arrived, its flashing lights casting eerie shadows against the house.

Kimberly stood quietly, watching as the paramedics carried Alpha Darwin’s lifeless body away.

Her heart felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.

The silence around her was deafening, broken only by the distant sounds of the night and the soft shuffling of feet.

Kimberly’s eyes stung with unshed tears, but she held them back. There would be time for grieving later.

For now, she needed answers. She turned slowly toward the oldest maid in the house, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Has Mona been informed?"

The maid hesitated, wringing her hands before speaking. "Yes, ma’am. I called her right after I reached you. She only said ’okay’ and hung up."

Kimberly frowned, exchanging a glance with Theo. His jaw was tight, eyes narrowed.

Mona’s reaction or lack of one felt wrong. Cold. Calculated.

Kimberly shifted uncomfortably, hugging her arms around herself. Something about this wasn’t sitting right.

Suddenly, loud voices erupted outside, shattering the uneasy silence.

Footsteps pounded against the gravel, and the sound of raised tempers echoed through the night.

Theo and Kimberly rushed outside, their eyes scanning the scene.

What they saw made their blood run cold.

Mona stood in the middle of the courtyard, her body trembling with rage, eyes blazing like twin fires.

Her chest heaved as she blocked the ambulance, arms spread wide.

"You can’t take him away!" she screamed at the paramedics. "You hear me? Don’t touch him!"
