Capítulo 269: A STERN WARNING

The room was charged with a tense silence as Akasha Vlad's confession hung in the air. My heart raced, every muscle in my body and tensed as I watched Maxwell's reaction. I could barely comprehend the full weight of Vlad's words, but it was clear that Maxwell had been hit with a devastating revelation.

For a moment, it seemed as if he was struggling to process the reality of what he had just heard. His usual calm demeanor was completely gone, replaced by an eruption of raw emotion.

His hands, which had been steady and composed, now clenched into tight fists. The anger bubbling up within him was palpable. His breathing grew ragged, and he slammed his hand against the table with a force that made the entire room jump. The sound echoed like a thunderclap, the shock of it jolting us all.
