“Father is still alive! Great! Hang on, I’ll come find you right away!”

Booking a flight was the first thing on Maren’s mind. She needed to get to the Kalman Jungle without losing

another second.

But before she could tap the confirmation button, her eyes drifted towards Isla, who lay curled against her, sound asleep.

“Let me handle the travel plans, Maren. You should start rounding up reinforcements. We’ll need backup if

we’re going to help Nikolas,” Stormclaw said, his voice brimming with urgency.

The signs of violence in the Kalman Jungle weren’t minor. Nikolas had resorted to encrypted symbols, which

meant they were in serious trouble and desperately needed backup.

For a long moment, Maren didn’t respond.

“Maren? Are you still listening?”

“You’re not going, Stormclaw,” Maren responded, her tone calm but unwavering.

“What?” Stormclaw froze, stunned. The idea of being left behind didn’t make sense to him.

“I’ll handle it. I need to go in person. But I can’t leave Isla behind with just anyone. I’ve already asked Daniel to help me get her into a safe school in Voutsas. That plan was supposed to happen before I flew to Echucan. But now there’s no time left. I have to leave tonight, And you’re the only one I trust to stay with her.”

Maren had no other option. Saving Nikolas was vital, but so was Isla’s safety. She needed to go to Echucan

herself. But she couldn’t hand Isla over to strangers.

“Alright.” Stormclaw hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

There wasn’t anyone else Maren could reply on to take care of Isla. Maren herself had to go to Echucan immediately to help Nikolas.

Once their call ended, Maren immediately dialed Daniel.

“Mr. Smith, sorry for the late call. I’m flying to Echucan tomorrow. Could you tell me the current schedule for

the competition?”

She had originally planned to complete the competition before going to Echucan, but things had changed.

Even so, Maren wasn’t ready to go back on her promise.

She believed that if she moved quickly enough, she could return before the competition began.

“Uh…” Daniel paused, scratching his head as uncertainty clouded his face. He clearly didn’t know how much time she would need. “It’s a huge state–level tournament, so there’s a lot of groundwork. Right now, we’re still taking registrations. Most of the teams are expected to head for Voutsas in about ten days. Once everyone’s settled in, the actual matches should begin–probably within twenty.”

“That gives me just enough breathing room,” said Maren with a slight nod. “I’ll be back before anything kicks off, I promise.“–

Daniel let out a laugh filled with relief. “Good to hear!”

Before ending the call, she asked him where they’d be meeting after her return from Echucan.

With all the important details locked in, she booked the earliest red–eye available.

She had never stepped foot in the Kalman Jungle before, and the uncertainty of what lay ahead kept her alert.

Bringing too many people would slow her down and draw attention. She needed to move fast and stay flexible.

There was one last matter she needed to deal with.

She called Simon. “Prepare the documents for the share transfer. Round up our men. We’re going to visit the Thorpe family.”

Maren had already handed Morgan Group over to Simon to manage and entrusted him with the task of reclaiming the shares from the Morgan family.

Now that the dust in Baimsa had finally settled, this was the last thread left dangling.

Only by reclaiming the shares could Maren leave without unfinished business.

Soon after, a fleet of black cars lined up outside the Morgan family’s estate, engines humming low. Maren stepped out, and Simon met her by the steps, holding the car door open.

Without a word, she slid in, and the convoy rolled towards the Thorpe family’s residence.

News of Wilbur’s hospital stay had just reached his parents, and the video of Maren’s rejection had been plastered across every screen.

“She’s heartless! My poor boy gave her everything, and this is how she repays him?” Jessi sobbed, voice rising through the house.

“Damn…” Sam let out a heavy sigh. He couldn’t help but feel a little regret over how badly Wilbur’s proposal had gone.

Had this taken place a few months earlier, it would’ve sounded like a bad joke.

Back then, Maren had been devoted to Wilbur. But time hadn’t stood still. Everything turned upside down before anyone had the chance to catch their breath.

“Enough already. Save the shouting. Right now, we should be thinking about Wilbur and heading to the hospital,” Sam said.

“You should sign the contract before you leave.” Just as the Thorpe couple finished packing, the living room door burst open–Simon stormed in.
