She refused to accept it at first, her eyes scanning the paper over and over.

But after a long, silent pause, the truth settled in.

A few thin sheets of paper were ripped to shreds in an instant.

“This is fake!” Joanne snapped, her voice dripping with contempt. “Don’t think you can waltz in here with a few papers and claim to be a Graves!”

She glared at Stella with icy fury. “Let me make this perfectly clear. I’m Zane’s lawful wife. You and your bastard can forget about touching a single penny of the Graves family fortune!”

Her voice grew colder with every word. “And every penny Zane spent on you? I’ll make sure to take it all back, bit by bit.”

The intensity of the moment exposed their intentions in no uncertain terms.

Kaia, standing behind Lucien, watched the scene in stunned silence.

calmly turned to Allen. “Dad, I’m taking Kaia home. Do you want to come with us?”

Allen sighed in relief, knowing Zane was no longer in immediate danger. He nodded slowly. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”

He could feel the tension in his chest rise, and he feared if he stayed any longer, the chaos would send him into another spiral.

As they prepared to leave, Stella grabbed Allen’s arm desperately. “Sir Graves, you can’t leave! Harold’s your grandson! If you go, this woman will tear us apart!”

Allen snorted, a bitter smile curling on his lips. “I don’t know if she’ll tear you apart, but your timing and this little stunt make your intentions crystal clear!”

Stella froze, her smugness faltering. This wasn’t how she’d imagined things going.

Joanne, though still annoyed by Allen’s vague stance, was at least relieved he wasn’t favoring Harold, the illegitimate son.

“Thinking you can just swoop in and claim our fortune?” she sneered. “You didn’t even bother to do your homework. The Graves family isn’t that easy to fool!”
