Inside the Norvalien residence,
a cold, resin-scented atmosphere drifted through the spacious living room of the family's grand estate.
The massive double doors groaned open.
Darius, Kugo, Lefon, the Principal, and even the district police chief stepped inside with expressions as dark as storm clouds.
Alasia's threat had been a devastating blow to these elite fathers.
Rage hung heavily in the air, clearly visible on both Darius and Kugo's faces.
"AIZA!!"
Darius roared, hurling a sofa cushion violently against the wall. Image be damned—none of them cared for appearances anymore; they all knew each other's tempers far too well.
"That woman… she's blocking me again! Rejecting my major project," he said.
"And now—who knows how—she finds out about this and decides to meddle in something that has absolutely nothing to do with her!"
Kugo snorted sharply, his body still tense.
Being countered by Sebastian and intimidated by Ai's bodyguards had made today humiliating for him.
