Chapter 236

What in blazes?" The entire Kane entourage sucked in their breath as one, shock rippling through the hall.

Vetala had drilled it into them on the ride over- no snarling, no threats, not a single cursed gesture toward the Lancasters, because those smug devils held Bella Kane's only antidote.

Not a soul among them dared flash even a hint of hostility at a Lancaster.

Yet, braced to meet Lancaster arrogance head on, they instead found the proud clan already on their knees-a twist no prophecy had whispered.

"Kid, you've clearly got your wires crossed," Vetala muttered, his brows knitting in raw confusion.

He'd pictured every nightmare under the sun, but this scene had never once marched through his calculations.

"Ignore their circus," Alex rasped, too rattled to elaborate.

"Get Bella Kane in front of Sophia-now."

Alerted by Bella's summons, Sophia had propped herself upright in her hospital bed-her wounds mended enough for her to sit or stand without trouble.

Meanwhile Vetala spared the Lancasters not a single glance.

He shoved the bed's backrest upright, steadying Bella as she screamed through the agony.

Bella locked eyes with Sophia. "I can neither stand nor kneel-so they will kneel in my stead."

Instantly every Kane bodyguard dropped, foreheads almost scraping Sophia's shoes.

"I apologize for the harm I wrought upon you," Bella declared, her voice frosty, her regal aura unbroken despite the pain.

Sophia reeled, her mind skidding beyond belief.

"What the-?!" Jack, Florence, and the rest gaped as Kane representatives bowed before Sophia.

Eyes widened to saucers; disbelief hung thick in the air.

Who could have imagined the almighty Kanes bending a knee to them-ever?

Had these titans ever shown humility?
