“Wait, what about Jeremiah, then?” Beatrice questioned with a frown.
“Well, nobody liked the way Jeremiah handled his matters,” Donald replied.
Realization dawned on the crowd. It’s an unlucky day for Jeremiah. Adrian was the one who offended
Lord Campbell, yet Donald got rid of Adrian and Jeremiah at the same time.
At least, that was what they all thought. Nobody believed in Donald’s confession to being Lord
Campbell, as the truth was hard to digest.
After all, Lord Campbell was too big a shot.
“I’m going to kill you!” Adrian thundered, grabbing a wine bottle and rushing toward Donald. “How dare
you make me kneel for so long!”
Just as he took a step forward, the wine bottle in his hand shattered.
“Adrian, come with me,” ordered Yves Yund, an expert from Yund Group, as he walked into the room.
He was one of the men from Neil’s inner circle.

Upon seeing him, Adrian turned pale, and his body quivered. “M-Mr. Yves…”
“It’s not a big deal when you tried to stop Lord Campbell from passing through the toll stations. But did
you know that you nearly delayed Lord Campbell’s work progress when you ordered a lockdown on
Pollerton’s transportation? That was your worst mistake!” Yves remarked.
Lord Campbell again? I regret everything that I did. That time, Bryan told me Lord Campbell wouldn’t
hold me accountable for the lockdown and that Lord Campbell wouldn’t dare to square up against Yund
Group. I trusted him because I have Yund Group backing me up! But now what? Even Yund Group is
afraid of Lord Campbell!
As Adrian tried to say something, Yves knocked him out by hitting his neck. Then, Yves dragged the
passed-out Adrian out of the hall immediately.
He did not utter a word to anyone else during the whole process. More importantly, he did not look at
Donald as Yves knew who the latter was because Neil had explained it to him.
With Jeremiah and Adrian gone, the Stern family had lost their leaders.
Some began to mock Donald, saying he was using Lord Campbell’s name to brag and show off.
“Let’s go,” Donald said.
Since he had gotten what he came for, Donald found no reason to stay around any longer.
He was a man with high moral standards, so he could not bear to see people using dirty tricks. His
primary purpose for showing up was to teach Jeremiah and Adrian a lesson, and he had achieved that.
“Let me see you off, “ Ysabel offered as she stood up.
Beatrice grumbled, “Ysabel, stay! We have things to discuss!”
Since Jeremiah and Adrian had been stripped of their power, the Stern family had to devise a new plan.
They had to either go on their separate ways in the future or continued to stay together.
Hearing that, Ysabel stopped right in her tracks, her eyes shifting to Beatrice. “Mom, I’m an adult.”
“Yes, you’re an adult. I don’t care about the things you do, but he’s your brother-in-law!”
“Ex-brother-in-law,” Ysabel stressed while she stole a glance at Donald.
The man had already turned and left.
“Even so!”

The latter stomped her feet on the ground anxiously. “Donald is getting farther away! I’ll talk to you
when return!”
With that, she shook free from Beatrice’s grasp and ran outward.
By the time she hurried outside, Donald was on a sidewalk opposite Ysabel.
“Wait for me, Donald!” she shouted. “Wait!” Jumping up and down, she waved her right hand, seeming
as though she were happy.
Turning around, Donald narrowed his eyes. “Watch out!”
Blended into a crowd was a man wearing a cap. He approached Ysabel silently from behind before
raising his right hand.
Bang!
Gunshots rattled across the air.
“Ahh!”
Almost immediately, the panicked crowd started screaming.
Ysabel collapsed to the ground on her back with blood oozing out of her wound.
In the meantime, Beatrice had just arrived at the ground floor of Grand Myer Hotel. As she saw the
scene before her, her eyes widened, and she yelled in shock, “Ysabel!”
