A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 1025

On the eve of the charity gala, Jack decided to bring Valery to the event. She had no objections to his arrangements, as only he was willing to help her..

Emily wanted him to mingle with the elite and shine as the most striking man at the banquet. So she had ten custom suits made just for Jack. She chose the sharpest suit for him and assigned Specter, the bodyguard, to keep him safe and out of trouble.

Specter, once Quintis' trusted right-hand man, was undeniably powerful. A force to be reckoned with in his own right, now only Quintis could keep him in check.

The previous conflict between Jack and Felix still haunted Emily. Determined to wipe out any threat, she vowed to keep Jack safe—no matter the cost.

Like any mother, her son was her greatest vulnerability. Her biggest wish was for him to be safe and sound.

It was only with Specter by Jack's side that she felt a little more at ease.

The next evening, a grand villa atop Tarthy's most prestigious hill was aglow with bright lights. The main hall was beautifully decorated, like a golden palace from a fairy tale.

Tonight marked the opening of Tarthy's high-society event—the prestigious Silverheart Gala. The grand affair attracted elites from all walks of life across Tarthy. Even A-list stars from film and music showed up, eager to ride the wave of attention and create buzz.

However, at this grand gala, even the brightest celebrities seemed ordinary in comparison.

The room was full of dignitaries and elites—many so powerful their reach stretched to the highest halls of power.

The path to the main hall was carpeted red, flanked by photographers and reporters from top media. A standout performance at this gala could draw the eyes of the world.

The Trevell family, meanwhile, faced a bind. Both sons were close in age and hungry for power. Richard couldn't choose between them, so he took charge himself—for now.

Devin was surrounded by a circle of Tarthy's most influential figures. Among them were CEOs of billion-dollar companies, leaders of investment banks, and foreign consuls. They greeted Patrick with deep respect. Many of the women were clearly captivated by his unique charisma.

Just then, more footsteps echoed across the hall. Jett, heir to the Gould family, entered with his sister, Yolanda, at his side.

Spotting Patrick, she exclaimed in delight, "Patrick! I didn't expect you to arrive so soon!"

Jett also came over warmly and shook Patrick's hand.
