Paul snapped, “Did I say anything wrong? Wyatt flipped the whole table and smashed dishes in your faces. You didn’t hit him back, and now you’re taking it out on me?”

With that, he stood up angrily. If Wyatt won’t beg for mercy, then I won’t either!”

He stormed off–and no one stopped him.

Once he stepped out of Heritage Hall, Paul came to a halt, his face still cold. He turned back to look at the grand hall behind him.

Could it be that the Powell family really can’t keep Wyatt in check anymore?

He frowned, a crushing sense of helplessness slowly weighing him down like a mountain on his shoulders.

Inside Heritage Hall, Jackson had his eyes closed, trying to rein in his fury. Jensen stood before him, too afraid to speak.

In order to gain rights to participate in the Westvale land deal, Jackson had handed over the hostages from the separate residence.

Were they really going to just sit back and watch Wyatt split from the Powell family and rise to power alone?

Jackson opened his eyes. “The Powell family can only have one person in charge. Now that we’ve secured Westvale, we don’t need the extra one anymore.”

Jensen lowered his gaze. Hearing the old man’s decision, he could barely contain his excitement. “Got it. I’ll take care of it.”

Paul returned to his own courtyard, still aching from the injuries. His chest was tight with frustration.

Elsie was too reckless. She never cared about the bigger picture. No one knew what kind of mess she’d drag him into next.

This secret relationship with Elsie–it wasn’t going to stay hidden for long.

Yunice sat on the swing, and he stood in front of her. Moss flapped his little wings and tried to land on his arm.
