The

If they had worked together from the start, their child would have become a super intelligent human
The Future ruler of the world
Mabel searched the room until the finally spotted Marcin
The moment she saw him standing next to Geimma, a thicker of hatred flashed through her eyes.
But it didn’t matter. Now that Marcus was working with the Raven family, the child in her womb could undergo genetic modification
Oner born, he’d have the most powerful brain–handling someone like Alijah would be a walk in the park.
Under her son’s leaderdup, the Wilsons Group would rise to the top of the world.
By then, forget Gemma
Even the untouchable Mr. Cassius wonidd have to kucelliefore her.
So what if Marcus was still hung up on Gemma?
Love meant nothing to her.
What mattered was control.
Marcus, meanwhile, wore a snug smile,
He even spared Cassius a mocking glance.
The great Mr. Cassim, once feared by all had been thrown out of the Raven family
How pathetic.
“Gemma, see? I told you stay by my side, and till give you everything you want.”
Gemma flashed him a unile, all teeth. “Oh? Is that so!“.
Marcus took that as a good sign. She had finally come around.
Maybe it wasn’t love that brought her back yet, but that was line.
Once she retumed, love would follow.
He could wait.
“Of course it’s true! Gemma, just tell me what you want t

in you, no questions asked.”
Gemma rubbed her ear lazily.
“Well I do have one request.”
Marcus grinned, leaning in eagerly
I want you to stay the hell away from me. Preferably so far away that I never have to lay eyes on you again, or my eyes might hurt themselves!” She spat the words out in one breath, her anger burning hot
And when Marcus turned to her in shock, she didn’t bother hiding her disgust.
It felt like someone had taken a dedgehammer to his chest.
Gold air rushed in, hollowing him our
“Gemma, is that really your choice?”

She had spent her life saving people.
Chapter 212. Mr. Cassis Strikes Back – The Hunt Begins
Never once had she regretted it. Except for Marries.
If she could do it all over again, she would never have married into the Wilson family. She would never have saved him.
Marcus opened his mouil to argue, but before he could. Derick stepped onto the stage.
John introduced the latest tech, making it clear that their goal was to cash in–starting with corporate partnerships. Naturally, Derick was the top pick.
Derick thanked ham and launched into a speech about the company’s history. Then, he made a point to stress-
“The former vice president, Cassius, has officially resigned. I will personally oversee this project
He paused, then raised his voice so there was no room for misinterpretation
“For the record, Cassius has left the Raven family. Whatever he does from now on has nothing to do with us. I advise everyone to be cautious.”
Another pause.
“Don’t be fooled.”
All eyes turned to Cassis
Everyone knew he had single–handedly propelled the Raven family to the top, ruling with an iron grip
Without him, they wouldn’t be where they were today.
Some disapproved of how he had been cast aude,
But watching a legend fall! Now, that was juicy gossip.
Marcus glanced at Gemina, eager for her reaction
But her expression remained unreadable calm, indifferent.
He let out a breath
So. Gemma didn’t care about Cassius.
I wasn’t parano on his part
Someone like Cassius was bom to stand at the top of the food chain
Anyone would be drawn to him
He had to stay vigilant.

But in the end, Gemma loved him deeply. Even with someone as exceptional at Cassius around, she wouldn’t w
Marcia smirked
For that, he’d let her off the hook–for now.
And then-
The lights lackered
The high tech mechanical hawks that had been soaring above the hall–those dangerous, awe inspiring creatures–dropped like rocks
Screams tore through the room.
Panic erupted as people scrambled for cover.
On stage, Derick and Jolin’s faces darkened.
They quickly ordered security to restore order,
John immediately instructed his team to check the system for malfunctions.
“If your hawks are already breaking down, what’s stopping your gene tech from turning people into lunatics?”

A realization artiled over the room like a thick fog
And then
Every ungle person turned to look ar Casin
He hadn’t moved an inch during the chaos. Unslaken. Uubothered.
And then, at last, he spoke.
“I told you,” he said smoothly. “Waliout my permission, nothing moves forward”
He lifted his hand, and snapped his fingers.
And just like that, the fallen lawka shot back into the ліг
Straight toward Derick
Denck, eyes wide, yanked the nearest presenter in front of him as a shield. Jolan’s face went pale. He turned to run
But Shawn had already sealed every exu. Grimming, he strolled forward,
“The show’s just getting started.” he said. “And you’re the main act where do you think you’re going?”
