Chapter 265

"Alex? You again," Henry sneered, turning sharply with venomous eyes fixed on the man who dared interrupt his triumph.

"What the hell brings a lowlife like you here?"

"Just working," Alex drawled casually, his tone dripping disdain.

"But you still haven't answered me: Did you kill this brute to keep him quiet?"

"Are you out of your damned mind?" Henry scoffed arrogantly, looking down his nose at Alex as though addressing a rat

beneath his boots.

"This bastard attacked innocent folks. I just did Vermont a favor no thanks necessary."

"You? A favor?" Alex's eyes darkened dangerously.

"I reckon you'd better come clean with your connections to Tommy and this big guy right here."

"Connections?" Henry laughed scornfully, his voice echoing off the opulent walls.

"You accusing me of running the Vermont underworld, Alex? You really think I'm the mastermind behind all this?"

"Am I supposed to believe you're innocent - along with everyone else standing here?" Alex fired back without blinking

Henry snapped, "I think it's you who's been colluding with that thug and the whole damn underworld!" his voice laced with

accusation.

"Alex isn't like that," Bella interjected fiercely, but Henry swiftly silenced her.

"Don't be a fool, Bella! This is the same dog who laid hands on you Guards, arrest this man immediately!"

Henry barked, his command echoing sharply as elite guards instantly drew their weapons, aiming squarely at Alex.

"Since when did the Duponts start thinking they could spit in the face of Vermont's governor?" Kelly Kingston's voice cut through the tension like a blade as she stepped forward boldly.

"Put your damn guns down and leave."

"Sorry, Kelly, I just can't do that," Henry replied with dangerous confidence, his eyes narrowing in a threatening glare.

"This man tarnished my reputation. Either he kneels and begs for forgiveness and leave his arms, or he doesn't leave this place
