Chapter 6 - The Poisoner Exposed
Before Sebastian could process her words, the heavy double doors of the penthouse burst open.
In walked Viktor, Sebastian’s second-in-command—a ruthless man in a sharp charcoal suit accompanied by three heavy enforcers. Viktor held a leather briefcase, his face wearing an exaggerated expression of deep concern.
"Boss! The board of directors is downstairs," Viktor announced smoothly. "They are demanding you sign over the syndicate’s control contracts today. They say a man in a wheelchair cannot lead our territory."
Viktor’s eyes landed on Clare kneeling by the wheelchair, and a subtle flicker of annoyance crossed his face.
"Who is this woman?" Viktor snapped at the house guards. "I told you no unauthorized medical staff near Mr. Lombardi! Change his bandages immediately and get her out!"
Clare stepped in front of Oliver, shielding her son as she locked eyes with Viktor. She noticed the small medical pouch sticking out of Viktor’s coat pocket—the exact same brand of synthetic solution soaking Sebastian's knees.
