Chapter 1061 – Intentional Removal
Victor's smile thinned. "Excuse me?"
Lux looked at Adrian.
Adrian understood the choice.
Lux was not taking over his house. He was offering Adrian the knife and asking whether he wanted to cut his own ropes.
Adrian inhaled slowly. Then turned to Victor. "Thank you for your concern."
Victor smiled, already sensing victory.
"But it is unnecessary."
The smile paused.
Adrian continued, voice hardening with every word. "The tower's removal was intentional."
Celeste's eyes moved to him.
Lux's smile deepened.
Victor blinked. "Intentional?"
"Yes."
Hugo frowned. "Removal?"
Adrian stepped forward. "The structure was compromised. We discovered it during a private assessment. For safety reasons, I authorized immediate controlled removal."
Victor's expression flickered. Only for a second. But Lux saw it.
Adrian's confidence grew. "The timing is unfortunate only for those hoping to use it as gossip."
Victor's eyes narrowed.
