The assistant's face went white with horror. "Her presence in the store is due to staff negligence, not your
continued indulgence," Maxwell explained quickly.
The store manager rushed in, sweat beading on his forehead. "Remove her immediately," he barked at security.
"Get her out of my sight," Ethan's voice was arctic through the phone.
James and | shared a moment of silent camaraderie as security approached Victoria's wheelchair. | pulled out my
moonlight-infused sanitizer, carefully disinfecting the hand James had used to touch her.
The gesture was subtle but stinging-a clear message of contempt for the woman who killed my daughter.
Ethan's voice cthrough the call again, softer now. "Olivia, I'm sorry—"
James hung up coldly. The message was clear: | didn't want to hear from him.
(Victoria's POV)
This couldn't be happening. | fumbled for my black card with shaking hands, trying to process the transaction
myself.
"Declined," the machine beeped mockingly.
The staff who had once bowed tonow watched with barely concealed satisfaction. Security guards flanked

"Ma'am, you need to leave," one of them said firmly.
"You can't do this to me!" | shrieked, but my voice cracked with desperation.
They wheeledtoward the exit despite my protests. Other shoppers stared as | was forcibly removed from the
store.
Outside Shadow Creek Mall, they unceremoniously dumpedwheelchair and all—on the pavement. The
wheels caught on the curb, nearly tippingover.
A passing Good Samaritan approached, offering help. | lashed out at him in my humiliation, screaming
obscenities until he backed away in shock.
| was left to crawl and beg for assistance, my pride shattered. Olivia and James emerged from the mall with their
purchases, witnessing my complete degradation.
Their eyes held no pity, only cold satisfaction. They walked pastas if | were invisible.
I managed to call a taxi, my hands still trembling with rage and shame. At least I still had Rosewood Haven and
my accumulated luxuries.
The villa would be my sanctuary until | could figure out how to regain Ethan's favor.
But when arrived at Rosewood
Haven, horror awaited me. Moving

Maxwell Chen supervised the operation, his expression professionally detached. He looked up as my taxi pulled
in.
"You are not the owner," he said flatly when | demanded an explanation. "The villa's ownership has been

| was evicted from my own home, left with nowhere to go but the shabby old apartment I'd once rented for
Connor Blackthorn. The contrast between my former luxury and current destitution was crushing.

At the school, angry parents surrounded the principal's office. Their voices rose in unified demand: Emma's
expulsion.
"She terrorized our children for years," one mother declared. "We only tolerated it because of Alpha Stone's
protection."
"That protection is gone now," another parent added coldly.
The other children had finally retaliated against the girl who once bullied them merejilessly. Emma sat in the
nurse's office, her face swollen and her uniform torn.
| took my injured daughter away in silence, my mind already calculating. At Stone
Pack Enterprises, | instructed Emma carefully.
"Go to your Daddy," | whispered. "Show him how much you need him."
Emma threw herself at Ethan's feet in his office, her small body wracked with sobs.
