Charles walked into his room. His eyes fell on the woman sitting casually on the sofa.She was busy flipping through a business magazine on the table."Aunt Xaviera? What's wrong? It's unusual for you to come to my workplace without being invited." Charles smiled mockingly, and he dropped his weight on the work chair. He refused to sit in the same place as his aunt."I'm a member of the Duke family, too, and I've even been a member of this family longer than you. So, I don't need anyone's permission to come here." Xaviera replied in a sarcastic tone. She challenged her nephew, who seemed relaxed, even inclined to look down on her while ignoring her presence in the room."Didn't I give you a choice? Get out of the Duke family nicely, or I will forcibly remove you. With the sentence I said, you should be able to judge that you are no longer a member of the Duke family. It's just a matter of time and then you will officially become a stranger in this family." Charles played with the pen

Xaviera's eyes bulged as she realized the mistake she had made. She held the press conference to humiliate Charles and ruin her niece's good name. She wanted the people out there who adored Charles to dislike him."How... how did you get here?" Xaviera asked in a trembling tone, a look of shock visible on her face."Me? Of course, exposing all the scandals you've done. Don't you know that the television station I visited to expose all your needs is the same one you went to today?" Charles chuckled. He was delighted when he saw the reaction shown by his aunt."Wh-what?" Xaviera immediately opened her phone and then looked back at the replay of Charles' clarification. Her hands shook as she realized the man's words were true."How can that be? You!" Xaviera walked up to Charles. She intended to punch the man, but her movements were halted as she realized that countless eyes were currently watching her."Why did you stop? Go ahead, hit me." Charles grinned.Xaviera exhaled harshly, then

Xaviera was furious. She felt like her pride was being trampled on. After Charles's treatment of her, she felt very fed up. She went by car to meet up with Ken again. She needed peace of mind and she needed him to help her get revenge on the Duke family quickly. "You'll see, Charles. You think, by dropping me from the Duke family, will make you win? I'll avenge everything after this!" Xaviera had no one here anymore. The Duke family had discarded her and that made her very ashamed. Ken was her only goal at the moment. That man also had to do his part to help her solve this problem. Moments later, she had arrived at Ken's place. Xaviera immediately banged on the door as usual to make people see her."Ken! Open the door! Hurry up or I'll break the door down!" Xaviera was disgusted at the people who saw her. The news of her being dropped from the Duke family must have spread. Especially now that she came again after the news of her scandal had already spread widely. "What's m

Bad statements about Charles continued to spread. He let his men take care of it all so that he wouldn't have to follow the news anymore.Charles is now focusing on the company he is managing. He can't be caught off guard by the news that is cornering him. Ken must be thinking of ways to attack him so he must anticipate all the bad possibilities that will happen. "People's statements are increasingly cornering the Duke family, what should we do?" The report came to Charles who was thinking of ways to defend his company. "Is the news spreading to the detriment of the family or the company?" Charles asked. "No.""Then, you take care of that matter. I have to take care of the company so that it won't falter and be easily destroyed by other companies." Charles gave the order. "Rose, arrange a meeting with Elizabeth. I need to make sure that she is willing to work with me and is willing to carry out the plan that I have laid out." "What can Elizabeth do?" Rose asked, she didn't

Sebastian let out a short breath. He lit the end of his cigarette using the lighter, then took a deep drag, just to relax his frantic mind.There was one thing Sebastian was thinking about at the moment, and that was Ken's death. For some reason he felt something was off, but he didn't know exactly what it was. What was clear was that Ken's death made him feel uncomfortable, as if there was something he had missed."I think that's enough for me. I don't want to interfere in the Duke family's life anymore. Let them have their life, I have mine. There's no point in meddling in other people's family affairs anyway."Sebastian gave a small nod. Yes, it was better that way. He would focus on taking care of his organization. He would also live happily with Elizabeth. Sebastian thought that was probably what Elizabeth wanted from him as well.Honestly, Sebastian wanted to build a happy life with Elizabeth. He wanted her to be completely separated from the Duke's family. That's why he wanted
