Late afternoon , dark clouds slowly blanketed the skies above Zenith . Inside his private office , Andrian sat upright behind a large desk covered in financial reports and documents on Titan Group's latest projects . His eyes were fixed on a tablet screen displaying a list of board members along with personal notes on their stances regarding the new project . Andrian furrowed his brow , mentally calculating the number of votes he needed to secure in order to get the project off the ground . With limited time before the vote , he knew he had to act swiftly and strategically . A sudden knock on the door broke his concentration . " Come in , " Andrian said , not taking his eyes off the screen , still strategizing his next move to win over the board members who remained skeptical The door opened slowly . Elric stepped into the room with a firm stride . " Sorry to interrupt , Sir . " Andrian looked up , his eyes meeting Elric's serious expression . " Did you find something ? " he asked without preamble , knowing Elric had come to report . Elric stepped forward , pulling out his phone and showing a photo " Sir , after re - analyzing last night's footage of your attack , I found something A small clue , but potentially useful . " Andrian frowned . He took the tablet and examined the image on screen . It showed the attacker's left wrist , clad in all - black clothing . However , a faint gleam caught the eye - a thin silver bracelet , dimly shimmering . " A bracelet ? " Andrian glanced at Elric with a questioning look , his expression still unreadable . " What's special about it ? " " I'm not sure yet , Sir, " Elric replied cautiously . " But clearly , the bracelet is quite unique , its design is uncommon . I suspect it's custom - made - not something widely sold . " Andrian zoomed in on the image , studying the bracelet in more detail . He tilted his head slightly , trying to identify any particular pattern or design , but to no avail . The bracelet meant nothing to him . He was certain he'd never seen it before . " Do o you recognize this bracelet , Sir ? Elric asked . Andrian shook his head quickly . " No. Never seen it. What about you ? " " I haven't seen it either , " Elric answered . " But based on our analysis , it's highly likely that the bracelet holds personal meaning to the wearer . Nyx may have made a mistake by wearing something that could be used to identify them . " Andrian nodded slowly , contemplating . If the bracelet truly had significance to the perpetrator , then it was a vital clue . He was sure someone , somewhere , had seen it - or could connect it to someone . " Find out everything you can about that item ," Andrian ordered , handing the tablet back to Elric . " Use every resource we have . Ask our contacts in the underground network , check security databases , look for any cases or reports of similar bracelets being lost . And track down every jewelry maker or bracelet shop in the city - maybe someone's seen or sold a design like this . " " Understood , Sir. " Elric accepted the tablet with a firm nod . " I'll begin immediately. " Andrian nodded in approval , motioning for Elric to leave the room . Once Elric had gone , Andrian fell into deep thought as he gazed out the window . He laced his fingers in front of his face , his eyes narrowing in alertness . That mysterious bracelet might just be the breakthrough he needed - a clue that could bring him one step closer to uncovering the true identity of Ny " Whoever you are . " Andrian murmured , " you can't stay hidden forever ." 1/4 Imperial Zenith Fine Dining , 50th Floor VIP Room Night began to settle over Zenith , and the glow of city lights from the towering buildings became the sparkling backdrop to the VIP lounge of imperial Zenith , a luxury restaurant perched on the 50th floor of a skyscraper . The ambiance was exclusive , with large glass walls offering a breathtaking view of the city below . At the center of the room , Bianca sat upright at an oval marble table adorned with gold trim , her sharp eyes scanning the faces of the board members seated around her . These were people who rarely spoke much , but whose votes carried great weight in Titan Group's internal decisions . Blanca had chosen this restaurant deliberately a neutral yet private venue , perfect for discussing sensitive matters without the risk of being overheard . of Despite the array of exquisite dishes laid out before them , the dinner atmosphere felt slightly tense . Among the attending board members were Randall Kent , a middle - aged man in an expensive suit , known for his opportunistic nature - always seeking personal gain behind every decision . Linda Moore , an elegant woman renowned for her extensive business connections throughout Zenith . Peter Choi , a calm yet calculating man , with close ties to local government officials . Bianca scanned each of their faces with a confident yet guarded gaze . " The vote for Andrian's latest project is just two days away , " Bianca said , raising her glass of expensive champagne , a faint smile playing on her lips . " I'm sure you all understand how important your votes are in this decision . " Randall Kent , leaned back in his chair casually , offering a faintly mocking smile . " We understand , Miss Bianca . But before we cast our votes , perhaps you could provide a bit of reassurance . Mrs. Charlotte described this project as highly risky . That's concerning " Linda Moore nodded lightly while scooping a spoonful of dessert . " I agree with Mr. Randall . We need to be cautious . Don't you think Andrian might be rushing this project ? " Blanca tilted her head slightly , her smile calm and confident . " Andrian always knows what he's doing . Remember how he pulled Titan Group out of a major crisis a few years ago if he could do it then , why should we doubt him now ? " Peter Choi , who had remained silent until now , finally spoke up up in a hesitant tone . " But Miss Bianca , what about the Zavier family ? I heard their company declined to partner in this project . That's a bad sign for all of us . " Bianca's face immediately tensed at the mention of the Zavier name . She looked at Peter sharply , barely containing her anger . " I don't care what the Zavier family thinks ," she said in a clipped , almost trembling voice . " Their decision is irrelevant to us . " Randall gave a tight smile . " Miss Blanca , how can you say that ? Zavier Corporation has been a long -time partner of Titan Group . They've supported many of our major projects . And isn't that company owned by Andrian's wife's family ? II even his own in - laws won't support this , doesn't that tell us something ? " Bianca felt cornered , her emotions flaring . But he took a deep breath , forcing herself to remain composed . Slowly , she set her champagne glass on the table with a sharp clink , drawing everyone's attention . " I think you're starting to misunderstand , " panca said coldly , fixing her eyes on Randall . " I'm not here to debate Zavier Corporation's support or their family's opinions . I'm here to ensure that your votes go to Andrian 2/4 Linda tried to interject gently . " We understand , but the risks are substantial- " What risks ? " Bianca cut in sharply before Linda could finish . " Do you think you don't have far greater personal risks yourselves ? " The atmosphere shifted instantly , Silence fell over the room , and every pair of eyes turned toward Blanca - now filled w " What do you mean , Miss Bianca ? " Peter Choi asked quietly , his face growing nervous . Bianca sat straighter , her gaze turning razor - sharp as she locked eyes with each board member . " I still hold all your secrets . The little things you've kept hidden from the public . with suspicion Mr. Randall , have you forgotten your secret affair with your personal assistant ? I'm sure that would destroy your family if it ever got out , " Bianca said coldly , looking directly at Randall - whose face turned pale . " And you , Mrs. Linda , " she continued , turning to Linda Moore who froze in her seat , " The illegal funds you've been hiding from your competitors do you really think that'll stay a secret forever ? " Linda quickly looked down , her face ashen . " And Mr. Peter , " Bianca finally ! lly turned to Peter Choi , who no now avoided her gaze uneasily . " Bribing government officials for personal gain - you think I don't know ? I have evidence of every move you've made . " The room went dead silent , the only sound was the faint rustling of nervous gestures from the people seated before her . Bianca took a deep breath , her smile cold and triumphant , and spoke again - calmly but with unmistakable menace " I don't enjoy speaking like this , but I need you to realize how important this vote is for Andrian - and , of course , for yourselves . " Randall , still trying to maintain his dignity , raised his voice slightly . " You think we're afraid of your threats , Blanca ! " Bianca looked at him sharply . Her voice lowered but brimmed with certainty . " I'm not threatening you , Mr. Randall I'm simply making sure you understand the consequences of choosing the wrong side . " She slowly picked up her champagne glass again and raised it slightly . " This Friday's vote will be decisive . I hope you all know what you must do . If not , " she smiled thinly . " don't blame me for what happens next . " Bianca set down her glass and stood up . She turned gracefully and walked toward the VIP room's exit . The click of her heels echoing across the floor sounded like a warning bell . The room fell into complete silence , heavy with tension , Randall , Linda , and Peter exchanged glances , realizing they were now under Bianca's control - a woman far more dangerous than they had ever imagined . As the door closed behind her , Randall Kent muttered angilly , his face still flushed with a mix of rage and humiliation . " That orphan girl really doesn't know her place , " he sneered under his breath , filled with hatred . Peter Choi added with a mocking tone and a sick . " What do you expect from a woman raised in an orphanage ? She thinks she can threaten us just like that ? " Before the two men could continue their Insults , Linda Moore snapped sharply , her expression filled with both concern and caution 3/4 Chapter 46 " Watch your mouths ? " she warned , her voice quiet but firm . " Yes , Bianca was once an orphan . But she's no ordinary woman now . She's Andrian Velor's Lavorite . If he ever hears what you just said , it won't just be your careers on the line - it could be your lives . " Randall and Peter exchanged uneasy glances . Though visibly displeased , they could only grumble quietly . No matter how bruised their egos were , they knew Linda was right - insulting Danca carried tremendous risk if word reached Andrian . Unbeknownst to them , Bianca was still standing just behind the VIP room's door . Her face had turned pale , her jaw clenched as she fought to contain the sting of Randall and Peter's cruel words . Her hands balled into tight fists , and her body trembled slightly from the depth of the pain , Harsh memories of her childhood resurfaced in her mind , cutting into her spirit like a knife . Beside her , Derek - who had also heard the insults - looked at her with a mix of anger and concern . " Miss Bianca , " he said softly , his voice laced with worry . " Are you alright ? If you give the order , I can teach them a lesson right now ! Bianca took a deep breath , then slowly turned to Derek with a firm gaze that still held a trace of sorrow " No need , Derek , " she said quietly , her eyes brimming with restrained pain . " They don't deserve any more of our attention . They learn on their own , soon enough ," Derek bowed his head in acknowledgment . " As you wish , Miss . "" With calm yet resolute steps , Bianca walked through the corridor of the restaurant toward the private elevator . Moments later , she arrived at the front of the establishment . A luxurious black car was already waiting for her at the entrance Without a word , Blanca stepped into the vehicle as Derek promptly opened the door for her , then gently closed it once she was seated in the back . As the car pulled away ! from the restaurant , Bianca leaned back and gared out the window . Her thoughts drited to the painful memories of her childhood - and to the first time she met Andrian . She let out a deep breath , allowing the memories to pull her back into a past she could never truly leave behind .
