Chapter 38
Author: Marina Vittori
“Edwin Hummer, the richest man in Swinton!” Dahlia answered.

“What? Sir Hummer?”

Lyra’s eyes widened in shock as if she had seen a ghost. Everyone knew that anything Sir Hummer said was obeyed without question in Swinton.

Trevor was big in East City, but Sir Hummer was the true master of Swinton. He was so powerful that he could just demand anything with the snap of his fingers. He was also very influential in business, politics, and the military.

Anyone who wronged Sir Hummer would face a fate worse than death.

“Ms. Nicholson, don’t tell me this matter really involves Sir Hummer?” Lyra gulped.

“It’s hard to say. Trevor was one of Sir Hummer’s men. Now that he was suddenly killed, Sir Hummer will definitely investigate this matter. It would be troublesome if Dustin was involved.” Dahlia’s expression darkened.

“Even if that were the case, it would be Dustin’s fault. It has nothing to do with us, right?” Lyra asked tentatively.

“This depends on how Sir Hummer sees this matter

    Natasha received a call from her secretary, Liora Hayes."Ms. Harmon!" Her voice was choked with tears. "We have a crisis. Half an hour ago, we received several calls from Vanguard Group, Sterling Group, and Paramount Properties. They've all issued unilateral notices terminating their contracts. Even every agreed-upon project is suspended.""What?" Natasha's face paled instantly. "They're terminating their contracts? How is that possible? The contract's already been signed. Are they planning to breach them outright?""They only mentioned strategic adjustments and refused to elaborate. As for the penalty clauses, they stated they're willing to pay in full," Liora explained, her tone urgent.She added, "But it gets worse. Several of our long-term suppliers and distribution partners have just sent formal notices. They're claiming circumstances beyond their control and cutting off all supply and support.""How can this be happening?" Natasha asked.Dread settled in her chest as the r

    Grace no longer looked at Warren. She fixed her gaze on Gilbert, who was scared out of his wits, and Frederick, whose face had gone completely pale. Her voice was sharp and unwavering, radiating undeniable authority."You've broken the law, led a gang to commit violence, carried weapons, harmed others, and threatened public officials. Your criminal history is well established, and the evidence is undeniable. You will face the harshest punishment the law allows."Her eyes swept to Warren, still on his knees, and warned him one last time. "If anyone is to blame, blame your dear nephews. They did what they shouldn't have and offended the wrong people."She spoke deliberately, each word cutting through the room as she sealed the brothers' fate."Effective immediately, all privileges and status held by Gilbert and Frederick are revoked. They will be transferred to the judicial authorities and severely punished in accordance with the law. From now on, they'll spend the rest of their li

    "I… I swear, Your Royal Highness. It's not true. There's absolutely no such thing," Warren stammered.His face drained of color, sweat rolling down his forehead. He waved his hands frantically and hunched over, trying to make himself smaller.His voice cracked with desperation, saying, "You've misunderstood. Just a… It was just a small misunderstanding. I was worried my two foolish nephews were being mistreated at the police station. "I got flustered and spoke too harshly, but I never meant to threaten Chief Wolfe. Right? It was a misunderstanding, wasn't it?"He pleaded with his eyes at Cedric, silently begging him to speak on his behalf.Cedric didn't dare to say anything. He kept his head down, staring at his toes, as if he'd heard nothing.Grace's lips curved into a faint, cold smile. "A misunderstanding? Speaking too harshly? Warren, did you really think you could fool me?""No, Your Royal Highness. I—""Then tell me," she cut him off, her tone sharp and unforgiving. "You

    Grace's sudden appearance changed the mood of the holding room, replacing it with a tense, unsettling silence.When Warren saw her, the arrogance he had drawn from his family's influence vanished without a trace. In its place came a chill that spread quickly through him, followed by a deep, growing unease.He knew all too well how much the princess mattered to the King and how vast her influence had become, both inside and outside the government. Someone of her standing would never appear at a small detention facility, so this wasn't some spur-of-the-moment visit.However, someone failed to read the room.Gilbert, still seething with nowhere to direct his rage, froze for a moment when a breathtakingly beautiful young woman walked in. The two men in black and Grace's own presence clearly intimidated him, but his playboy instincts quickly overrode that flicker of caution.Seeing that she seemed to be coming for them, his bruised ego flared back to life. Curling his lips into a smirk

    As soon as Dustin and Natasha stepped out of the police station, the cool night air hit them.He took his phone and made a call. "I ran into some trouble," he said. "I need a favor."…Gilbert and Frederick were being held inside the police station's holding area. Although their detention was temporary, they weren't placed in a standard cell. Instead, they were assigned to a private holding room with comparatively comfortable conditions. This was an obvious courtesy afforded by the Chandler family's influence.But the preferential treatment did nothing to cool Gilbert's rage."Damn it! Those blind fools actually dared to lock me up?"He paced the room restlessly, cursing nonstop. "Once I get out, I'm killing that boy toy Rhys. Then, I'll deal with the officer who pinned me down earlier."The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had never suffered this kind of humiliation in his life.Frederick sat against the wall on the bed with his eyes closed. His face was d

    After arriving at the police station, Dustin and Natasha were led into an interview room. A middle-aged officer, Cedric Wolfe, personally took their statements. He was calm and courteous throughout.She gave a detailed account of the entire incident. She described being cornered by Gilbert's convoy outside the mall, the chase that followed, and finally being surrounded on the overpass.Dustin added more details, emphasizing the attackers' numbers, their weapons, and how the Chandler brothers had openly ordered the assault. He spoke clearly and calmly and characterized their actions as serious intentional assault and unlawful detention.Cedric took notes, his frown deepening with each detail. With the Chandler family involved and the crime carried out so openly, he found himself in a difficult position.Just then, someone knocked softly on the door. A young officer hurried in and whispered something to Cedric. Then, he discreetly handed him a phone with someone still on the line.
