Chapter 38
And Rowan’s expression had completely collapsed.
He walked toward her step by step. Frightened, she immediately hid behind her two brothers, voice trembling: “Mrs. Mercer forced me to do this-
Everyone except me froze in place: “…?!”
Another thunderbolt struck, making everyone’s scalps tingle.
Third Person POV:
Meanwhile, in another private room at the Peninsula Hotel.
Garrett Wylder had finished dining but wasn’t in a hurry to leave, sitting leisurely scrolling through his phone.
He was absorbed in reading. After a while, the corner of his lips curved up, and his rich, clear voice chuckled softly: “Quite impressive.”
Clay, standing beside him, leaned over to look and sighed: “More exciting than TV dramas. This Elara… quite brave and strategic.”
After watching a bit more, he put away his phone and stood to leave.
At the elevator, Clay had just pressed B1 when he heard him say lightly: “Such excitement, don’t you want to see the live version?”
Clay blinked: “…Yes.”
-The kind where you had to want it whether you wanted to or not.
Meanwhile, in the banquet hall.
“No, it’s not what you think!” She quickly explained, “I just… just wanted her to sign the compensation agreement. You said you had a way, so I… I didn’t know you’d use such methods. I thought it was just to scare her…”
This statement essentially confirmed half the conspiracy.
Moira wept, crying in rebuttal: “Auntie, how can you say that! You were the one who complained to me, saying Elara was greedy, that you’d agreed on 100 million but she raised it to 150 million at the last minute. You asked me to help you contact people. You were afraid Rowan would hate you, so you
had me handle it-”
Mrs. Mercer was so angry her fingers trembled, “You’re talking nonsense!”
“I’m not talking nonsense! For mine and Alpha Rowan’s future, just admit it…”
Mrs. Mercer nearly couldn’t catch her breath, face flushed red, body staggering, almost fainting.
The Ashenford family, coming to their senses, regardless of truth or falsehood, all began pushing responsibility onto Mrs. Mercer.
“How could you involve the child!”
“No matter how urgent, you can’t do such things!”
A group of people chattered, completely setting up Mrs. Mercer as if she were the sole mastermind of this conspiracy.
The two families tore each other apart publicly, completely dropping their pretenses.
All the guests were stunned.
Exciting, wave after wave, completely unstoppable.

Chapter 38
I hadn’t expected Moira would directly bite out Mrs. Mercer at this moment, the two staging a “dog eat dog” performance publicly
I turned to look at Rowan.
His expression was like frozen snow, all emotions buried under a thick layer of snow.
He must be devastated.
This… was just the beginning.
“Elara!” Moira suddenly cried and ran toward me, “I apologize to you! The injuries you suffered, the illness you got, I’ll pay for all the treatment! Medical conditions are good now, AIDS… maybe it can still be cured…”
I turned to look at her, seeing her wiping tears while looking full of “regret.”
But I clearly saw a flash of vicious satisfaction in her eyes.
