Chapter 193

Alex glared at them all, his patience long gone. "Next time I'll just watch while they hack off your damned "hand," he snapped, turning away from the group. Sophia squared her shoulders and stepped closer, voice cold and unwavering.

"You think you're such hot stuff, don't you? Don't let a little backing from Jasmine Kingston make you stupid. I'm telling you to think before you throw your weight around."

She raised an eyebrow, her tone dripping with condescension.

"Face it, Alex. It's one thing to have powerful friends pave your way, but it's another to actually have the chops to keep climbing. Don't trick yourself into believing you're invincible. Let this be my final warning."

Alex rolled his eyes, letting out a derisive chuckle. "You talk like you're some holy saint who's got it all figured out. You're so sure I'm just mooching off the powerful?"

“Oh, spare me the act,” Sophia shot back, spitting the words like venom.

"If Jasmine Kingston hadn't put her name on the line, Viper would've turned your bones to dust by now. You're lucky you've got her shadow to hide under."

Alex gave a short, scornful laugh.

"Nothing I do matters to you, does it? In your eyes, I'm just a worthless piece of trash. Fine. Think what you want. I'm done playing the game your way." Sophia's expression softened for a fleeting second-then hardened again.

"Alex, I'm being real with you. Stop letting people dangle you on a string. You've got one life; use it to prove you're more than just a lazy freeloader."

Alex shrugged, throwing his hands up in mock surrender.

"So what if I am a freeloader? Gotta admire a man who takes the easy route. That's called working smart, honey."

Sophia's nostrils flared. "You are infuriating. You don't even have the decency to be ashamed! It's like talking to a wall."

Before she could insult him further, the distant wail of sirens ripped through the tense air.

The squeal of tires cut off the rest of their argument, and within seconds, squad cars blocked off the intersection.

Uniformed officers jumped out, guns flashing under the sunlight.
