Chapter 631:
“Calm down, Roger,” Beverley urged. “To demonstrate our sincere regret, we’re prepared to transfer the Eventide Vale property to the Moss family at our original purchase price p>
The property represented a goldmine waiting to be claimed.
Jasper had secured it for 3.9 billion, watching its value soar past 7 billion in the months since. Once construction transformed it into a luxury resort, profits would cascade beyond 10 billion without question.
Roger’s resistance wavered, his stern expression melting into something resembling hunger.
Beverley pressed her advantage with calculated sincerity. “I’ll orchestrate the engagement’s dissolution myself, ensuring both families emerge with their reputations intact p>
Confronted with such lucrative compensation and the Howard family’s obvious reluctance, Roger recognized the futility of forcing an unwanted union. Coercion would transform valuable allies into dangerous enemies.
His surrender came wrapped in diplomatic acceptance. “We’ll proceed according to your wisdom p>
Their conversation continued in civilized tones, each word layered with unspoken calculations.
Before departing, Beverley said, “Roger, my affection for Wesley remains unchanged. Perhaps future circumstances will still unite our families p>
Roger dismissed her words as empty courtesy, responding with practiced modesty. “My grandson possesses ability, but his temperament leaves much to be desired p>

The moment Beverley disappeared from view, Roger summoned Wesley to deliver the news.
Meanwhile, Beverley immediately set her network in motion.
Within hours, whispers spread through Okburg’s elite circles—Wesley and Rebecca’s engagement was finished.
The announcement detonated like a social bomb.
The Moss and Howard families commanded respect among Okburg’s highest echelons. Their original alliance had sent both families’ stock prices soaring toward unprecedented heights. Now, with this sudden reversal, speculation ran wild. Had some catastrophic betrayal torn the families apart?
Before theories could crystallize into accepted truth, Rebecca’s fury exploded into action.
She stormed through the Haynes Group’s entrance like an avenging goddess, Cindy scurrying behind her while a dozen bodyguards formed their protective wall.
Cindy transformed into a snarling attack dog, her authority borrowed but wielded with vicious enthusiasm.
When the receptionist stammered questions about their intentions, Cindy stabbed a finger toward the woman’s computer. “Destroy it p>
The machine exploded into electronic fragments within seconds.
Terror froze the young receptionist’s protests in her throat. Recognizing the futility of resistance, she retreated to summon police protection.
Having demolished the front desk, Rebecca led her army deeper into the company’s heart.
Confidence in her family’s protective shadow made her reckless. Her gaze swept the office space with arctic coldness before she issued her decree. “Obliterate everything you see p>
Two minutes transformed Gabriela’s carefully built empire into a war zone.
Alerted by the chaos, Gabriela burst from her office. “Rebecca, are you out of your mind p>
Rebecca closed the distance between them and delivered a vicious slap across Gabriela’s cheek.
The sound cracked through the air like a whip, sharp and deliberate. Rebecca’s manicured nails had been honed into weapons.
Caught completely defenseless, Gabriela felt fire bloom across her skin as those talons carved trenches through her flesh.
Crimson blood welled against her porcelain complexion, creating a sight that stole the breath from every witness.
