“Expose their identities? What are you going on about? Do you think it's as simple as playing house? Yvette, please don't take things out of proportion. You need to take things slowly.”

Yvette was close to bursting into tears. “Take things slowly? How do I do that? Artemis wants me to marry an unknown stranger in half a month! I am the daughter of the previous leader of Tarragon, and everyone has treated me like I was some kind of treasure. How can I suffer through this insult of marrying some mediocre man?”

“Even then, you mustn't just lose it. I'm warning you. Do not act without authorization. The opportunity has yet to present itself. Do you understand?” cautioned Raymond.

Yvette gritted her teeth. She heard nothing. Even if she heard it, she was going to assume that it was nothing. Yvette was not going to take this warning seriously.

The one who has to suffer through this humiliation is none other than myself. What gives that old man the right to order me not to act without any authorization? Since he wants to drag it on further, then I'm going to expedite it.

Naturally, Yvette was not stupid enough to do things so openly in front of Raymond. If she wanted to act, she had to do so in secret.

Yvette was determined to expose Bailey as the leader of the Saviors so that everyone else could resist her. Yvette wanted the public to hate Bailey and give her no peace of mind whatsoever.

“Fine. I'll await good news from Mr. Doyle, then. You have to find a way to solve this dilemma, or I am quite literally going to die. I refuse to lower myself and marry someone incapable,” hissed Yvette.

“I'll think of something to solve this problem. Don't worry,” replied Raymond.

After hanging up, Yvette immediately dialed Sofie's number.


“I need to see you. Right now.”

Yvette then gave her an address.

Sophie gritted her teeth. “Fine. I'll head over there now.”

...

In the CEO's office of Saunders Group, the chief financial officer looked dispiritedly at Victor, who was lazing about in the swivel chair.

“Mr. Victor, it has only been a few days. You've already managed to squander five hundred million you've received from the shares?” exclaimed the man.

Victor squinted at him and said with a smile, “It's not your money that I'm squandering, so why are you so upset? I just had a stroke of bad luck and lost two hundred million. Hurry up and sell my shares. I would like about... a billion. I want to go to the casino and win everything I've lost.”

The chief financial officer fell to his knees and began to cry. “Mr. Victor, another billion is the equivalent of losing ten percent of your shares! This is Mr. Saunders' blood, sweat, and tears. You mustn't—”

Suddenly, the sound of shattered glass filled the room.

Victor had picked up an ashtray from the table and hurled it at the man. Soon, blood began to seep out from the wound on his head.

“I'm selling my shares. They don't belong to you! Why are you getting so worked up over this? I told you to hurry up and contact the buyers. Stop wasting my time with all this chatter!” yelled Victor.

“Victor...” Suddenly, a mournful voice could be heard as Victoria walked in with tears in her eyes.

“When will you stop this madness? Dad wasn't even gone for that long! You have not inherited Saunders Group for that long either! You've lost all your working capital and sold a lot of shares! If you continue on like this, the whole family will be ruined! Do you really want to single-handedly destroy the Saunders family? Without any money, how will you marry and start a family?”

Victor smiled grimly. “Why should I marry and start a family? Women are willing to sleep with me whenever I want. I'm going to be as carefree as I'd like. Why on earth would I lower myself and seek out some ugly woman to order me around and give birth to another source of stress?”

Victoria hurriedly wiped away her tears. “You're completely hopeless! The tens of billions we have in assets are enough to make us among the top families in the nation. You could have lived worry-free for the rest of your life! Now, you're so messed up that I can't really advise you anymore. I guess that's fine!” said Victoria through clenched teeth. “It doesn't matter if the Saunders family ends here. Dad is gone. There's no need for this family to exist anymore.”

Having said that, she turned around and walked away.
