Carlos explained, “I don’t think this guy will say word no matter what we do. The smart solution should be sending him to the hospital as a message for James. He’ll likely dispatch his crew to rescue him.” 

The bodyguard captain understood now, thinking, ‘All we need to do is to throw out the bait and wait for James’s people in the hospital.’ 

Vera walked into the CEO’s office of Veraluv Group. 

“James, what’s going on? Our plan should be to hire a group of children to disrupt the conference. How did they become dwarves?” Vera did not expect James to change their plan at the last minute without notifying her. 

If Vera hadn’t left a spy among the reporters at the scene, she would never have known about the dwarves until now. 

“What’s the difference?” 

James never cared about the process but the results. “Now that the videos about Carlos having illegitimate children are going viral online. The Monroe Group’s share price has fallen by two percentage points.” 

“We agreed that the illegitimate children event was nothing more than a farce. You sent dwarves over and changed the nature of this event. If a dwarf hurts Carlos, Carlos will think you’re after his life.” 

Vera’s intention was straightforward. It was bit the right moment for a life–or–death confrontation with Carlos. They could humiliate Carlos through conventional methods, but the last thing they desired was to push Carlos into becoming their mortal enemy. 

“What if I said…” James paused. “I didn’t send the dwarfs. Would you believe me?” 

Vera was stunned. She thought for a while and asked, “You’re saying that there’s a third party interfering with our plan?” 

James replied, “Do you remember the Ford family’s port warehouse caught fire last year? The losses were huge. All the clues point to the Monroe family. That’s why our parents asked me to investigate © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

it.” 

Revenge for Vera was only one of the motivations for that event. 

If the Monroe family desired to monopolize and cut the business for large clans, the Ford family would fight the Monroe family to the death by all means. 

Vera said, “So, are you saying there’s a terrifying force in the dark in the Monroe family? They plan to intensify the conflict between Carlos and the Ford family and let us kill each other so that they can sit back and reap the benefits. It would be them to monopolize.”

Vera felt that the conjecture was improbable after she said it. 

She thought, ‘If the Monroe family had such a force, Carlos would have destroyed it long ago. That man can’t tolerate anything against him. 

es asked, “How can you be so sure that the dark force is not Carlos?” His words. down her spine. 

gave Vera a chill 

She shook her head and refused to believe that Carlos was shrewd without reaching his 30s. 

James continued, “Carlos is probably playing two roles. He acts as a prey to lure us. Once the perfect time arrives, he will transform into a predator and devour us. 

“Of course, that’s the worst case.” 

James reached out his hand and patted his sister’s shoulder, saying, “However, the Ford family has always done our best and prepared for the worst. 

“Therefore, whether Carlos is the hunter or the hunted, our focus now is to outsmart the Monroe family and prevent them from monopolizing.” 

Vera nodded, thinking, ‘Carlos sent Averie to kill me before. He will never get his hands dirty. That alone exposes his ruthlessness and adept acting skills, 

“Thanks to Averie, who is so stupid that she reveals the murderer to me. Otherwise, I would have considered that I only married a man who did not love me.‘ 

“Neil and Ramon are still living in the Monroe family. Will they be in danger?” The more Vera dwelled on it, the more fear gripped her, and her heart was beating uncontrollably fast.
