Chapter 226 - 225. Wanda’s Wrath
◉◉◉◉◉
"Why wasn’t I invited to the meeting?"
Wanda stood with her arms crossed, glaring directly at Nolan. The rest of the people in the conference room fell into an awkward silence the moment she entered.
Newcomers like Viper and Sphinx were confused, but the veterans, Connors, and the others instinctively knew why she was upset. It was an open secret: Wanda was more than just a powerful ally; many saw her as the future Mrs. Nolan.
Nolan was young. Wanda was young, beautiful, powerful, and the only person who seemed genuinely close to him. There had once been another, but she was long gone... just ashes now.
They had all wondered why Wanda hadn’t shown up. Some assumed she was busy with Avengers affairs. But now it was clear she wasn’t invited. And knowing her ties to the Avengers, Connors and the others had intentionally chosen to keep her in the dark.
The fear? That she might warn them.
Especially since Black Panther had aligned with Stark’s camp, and the Avengers were beginning to heal from their internal rifts.
If Wanda caught wind of Nolan’s plan to strike Wakanda... there was a risk she’d ruin everything.
But she found out anyway.
Wanda locked eyes with Nolan, unflinching. He stared back, calm as ever.
