Chapter 186 They’re Scared

Fiona chuckled lightly and took a spoonful of her congee.

To be honest, she almost hoped Donovan would hang on a bit longer–just so he could watch the “glorious empire” he built out of his twisted games slowly rot.

But not everyone could shrug that off. Most of the Romeros understood it was Sterling’s warning.

He could’ve buried Henry’s downfall in silence and kept it all neat and hidden.

Instead, he chose to make it loud and clear, showing everyone that he had eyes on their every

move.

If the threat he held over them once felt far away, now it was like the blade was hovering right above their necks.

Clarissa was panicking, remembering all the things she’d done.

She even found herself weirdly thankful that Blaine had been an embarassment at the auction earlier.

Years of effort went to waste, but at least he was still alive.

Luckily, Kenneth had never been the shining star of the Romeros. Clarissa was just some flashy social climber who married in because of her looks.

She’d never had much confidence. Her worst crime against Isabella had only been making a few mean comments and swiping her supplements–nothing cruel.

Thinking back on it now, Clarissa decided she’d warn her kids once again to keep their heads down and not stir up trouble.

Sterling was a cold–blooded and ruthless monster.

Just remembering those destroyed photos made her chest tighten.

But even if Kenneth’s family managed to stay out of Sterling’s way, some grudges couldn’t be erased just by behaving better.

He’d already taken action, so it wasn’t like he’d hold back now.

Winnie forced herself to stay steady.

Her family, the Lloyds, weren’t anything like Paula’s freeloading relatives. The Lloyds influenced both the army and politics–they weren’t some random nobodies.

She was the only daughter in their bloodline for ages.

If she hadn’t insisted on marrying Quinton, even with their childhood history, there was no way her family would’ve agreed to a divorced man with a kid.

They were furious about it back then.

But in the end, they caved and helped her. Quinton built his whole business overseas, and it was the Lloyds who had his back through the rough parts.

Four years ago, when Sterling broke Quinton’s leg, the Lloyds did clash with him for a bit.

But since Sterling was just lashing out over his deadbeat father, they couldn’t step in much for Quinton.

They carried guilt about it.

Still, Sterling was already on the rise, while Quinton’s career was falling apart. If the Lloyds wanted revenge, they had to think about whether they could even handle it.

Besides Winnie, the family had plenty of other kids.

They couldn’t spoil her forever.

But she never fully understood all the politics, or maybe she was just too sure of her family’s strength.

After all, she’d married Quinton by using her family’s power.

Winnie gripped her fork and knife, eyes stuck on the scratch she’d left in her plate, her expression heavy.
