Semua Bab Nine Ungrateful Sisters: Bab 401 - Bab 410

"This is Elara Chamberlain," Oscar said.Helena's eyebrows shot up the moment she heard those words. 'Elara Chamberlain… Has Oscar already agreed to the Chamberlains' request?'Oscar caught her reaction and quickly added, "But she..."He tapped the side of his head with a subtle gesture. "You know what kind of mess the family is in right now. So I brought her here to stay for a few days. Even if she wronged me, I'd say she's more than paid for it by now."Just then, Elara stuck out her tongue and held up an open palm. "Oscar, Oscar! I want candy! Do you have any left?"A woman in her mid-20s was behaving like a three-year-old.Helena's heart gave a small lurch, but she nodded. "Well, if that's the situation, then it's fine. We always have enough food to go around. But the one inside is a different matter..."Before she could finish, Irene came running out of the house."Oscar!" she blurted out.She rushed over, her face lighting up as she looked at Elara. "Elara, you're awake?

Some users had even commented that the Chamberlains had been in steady decline ever since Arthur passed away. Amara might have held the title of CEO, but she simply lacked the ability to fulfill the role.Also, because she was too proud and stubborn to admit it, she had done whatever was necessary to protect the family her father left behind and preserve its reputation. That included actions that were genuinely unconscionable."Oh?" Oscar raised an eyebrow. It was the first time his expression had changed.From the day Amara drove him out and he arrived at George's home, Oscar had already known that some of the family's wealth had come from questionable sources.That was the nature of how families and businesses grew. When you were small, you could afford to pay attention to the people around you. But as the operation expanded, your eyes naturally stopped falling on those beneath you.It wasn't that you stopped caring. It was that you stopped handling things yourself.In the gap

However, hearing Irene describe how they had stripped her bare, hearing her say that if Amara hadn't arrived in time, they would have gone even further, lit a fire in Oscar's chest that he could barely contain. He had wanted every last one of the men who had laid their hands on her to die slowly.The outcome, as things stood, was acceptable. The man most responsible was dead. The others had been dealt with.Sirius chose his words carefully. "Dominic wouldn't dare make a move. Stanley is the Draconox envoy. The people at the Centurion Trade Consortium are too busy trying to get on his good side to even think about crossing him."Dominic is a weathervane through and through. How else do you think he made it onto the board so quickly?"The incident had also given him a clearer understanding of Oscar's stance toward the Chamberlains. As long as no one used illegal means against the sisters, Oscar could tolerate the ordinary rise and fall of fortune."Fine." Oscar gave a single nod and

The more Dominic thought about it, the angrier he became.His people had urged him to be careful. The Chamberlains now had Stanley's backing. They were no longer the same family the Centurion Trade Consortium could bully at will.But so what? A son-in-law was still a son-in-law. Amara marrying Stanley didn't mean all nine sisters had married him as well.If he moved quickly and got Irene into the ground before anyone could intervene, he didn't believe Stanley would dig up a sealed coffin simply to make a point.Dominic understood the situation clearly. Only one question continued to bother him.How had Stanley become interested in Amara in the first place?Not long ago, the Chamberlains had been under siege from all of Silverton. If Stanley hadn't stepped in and announced an engagement, they would have been wiped out by now."Damn the Chamberlain!" Dominic resumed cursing under his breath.His only son was dead. Who was going to carry on the Sunfyre line? His wife certainly cou

"Enough. Stop performing." Sirius' face remained cold and expressionless. "You know exactly how your son died. He brought it on himself. If you want to pick a good plot of land and bury him, fine. I have no objection. But that woman is not yours to touch. Let her go, and the funeral continues. Otherwise, don't blame me for what comes next."Sirius held Dominic's gaze without blinking.Dominic's chest tightened. He glanced at the two bodyguards nearest him. They gave a slight shake of their heads.The message was clear: they had been careful. No one should have known.Dominic steadied himself and lowered his voice. "What are you two talking about? I'm burying my son. There is no woman involved in any of this. Step aside. Keep pushing me, and I can't guarantee what I might do. My son is gone. I have nothing left to lose."The bodyguards behind him stepped forward in unison. They were ready. If words failed, force would have to do the job.'That damned Irene is going into the ground
