Elara did not want to lose the momentum to insult Aveline, so she did that as soon as the announcement was over."Didn't you say you were going to get bronze level? If I were you, I'd die because of embarrassment!"Her words annoyed Aveline and Isabella. Aveline did not want to be humiliated in front of Cassian, so she made a defense."The next announcement hasn't come out of Mr. CEO's mouth yet," she was calm as she thought of Logan's kindness to her. "I will become a silver-level business partner. Just wait and see."Elara laughed at that because she knew Cassian had removed Aveline's company from the list. Her laughter drew the attention of Olivia, sitting not far from her."Why do you dare to attend this party?" Olivia approached Elara with Nathaniel. The arrogance was still clearly shown on her face.If Logan had not been on stage, she would have called the guards to drag her cousin out. But she held back because she did not want to make a mess while the CEO gave a speech.Avelin

"That must be him! Runaway soldiers are more despicable than anything in this country," Liam responded furiously. Weltaria had a strong military compared to other countries. It was said that other countries feared Weltaria's military, so they tried to destroy the Great Commander during the war with the Narman Empire. They were worried about the Great Commander, who could control the entire military in just a short period. He was a living legend, not just in Weltaria but in other countries as well. Everyone despised soldiers who fled the battlefield for disrespecting the Great Commander. Society did not want to accept that kind of soldier. "I heard that soldiers who run away can't get jobs. They can ruin a company's reputation," Stella continued, increasingly convinced that Cassian's background ruined her daughter's business. Aveline's eyes turned red with anger. "I thought so, too. Even after the divorce, he's still a parasite to me!" Her hatred for Cassian grew. She had to expla

"Grandpa, I apologize for making a scene," Olivia spoke up immediately to maintain a good image in front of Scott. She sobbed, "I'm just sad that Elara ignored her cousin in favor of power."Elara wanted to defend herself, but Scott looked at her angrily. Whatever came out of her mouth would not change the situation."You should be grateful to be recognized as part of the West family by Mr. Logan. But you want to control the family business all by yourself?" Scott gave Elara a sharp look."She even tried to flirt with my daughter's boyfriend! How shameless!" Emily fell for Olivia's lie and believed Elara was trying to seduce Nathaniel because he was from an influential family.The situation was already in Olivia's favor. There would be no one to defend Elara if Scott had spoken up.As long as the West family believed Olivia, Elara would be the scapegoat. Her parents would not even dare say anything."Let's just forget about this," Olivia wiped her tears with her handkerchief. "The imp

Elara chose not to reach out to Logan after finding out what Cassian wanted. Her attention returned to the West family who were still happy about the partnership with Bridge Point.Her parents stood awkwardly among the others because no one cared about them. The West family treated her parents like they did not exist."You're right. We can make things more interesting," Elara muttered, remembering that her family had looked down upon her for years.It would not be fun if she finished them in one fell swoop. She wanted them to go through the same agony as her and her parents.Scott winced as he felt a chill run down his spine. Turning around, he found Cassian and Elara smiling at him."Are you still refusing to admit that you were wrong?" he gave Elara a sharp look."I have done nothing wrong, Grandpa," Elara replied casually."So, you still think you're the one who helped the West family?""That's the truth."Olivia's forehead wrinkled, and her lips pouted. "If you were really close t

Liam was surprised that Cassian knew about the termination of Bridge Point's partnership with Aveline's business. He only knew the short story from his sister and did not listen further because Ruby asked for a dinner date.'How could this loser know about that?' he thought suspiciously.It seemed that Stella's guess was correct. Cassian was the one who caused Bridge Point not to renew the cooperation contract.Worried that Aveline's ex-husband would tarnish the company's reputation, Logan decided to postpone the cooperation.That was what Liam believed at the moment. But he did not want to ask Cassian about it, fearing that Ruby would know about the partnership termination."What are you talking about? Your head must have been hurt on the way here for you to say such nonsensical things," Liam tried to look confident.Ruby, who knew nothing, backed him up. "Only certain people know Bridge Point's decision tonight. You're obviously a nobody!""Neither are you. You don't know anything b
