The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call



Chapter 1527 No Chance to Recover© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Landon hurried to catch Tamia as she fell, but he was too late. Though Tamia longed to

escape the chaos and simply pass out, the throbbing pain in her forehead kept her grounded in the harsh reality.

Panic swept through the Montclair Group.

Weak in the knees, Landon hurriedly asked, "What should we do, Mom? That bastard Alfred must have ratted me out and tried to pin all the blame on me!"

"D-Don't worry, I'm here. I'll definitely get you out of this." Despite being at her wits' end, Tamia stubbornly dug in her heels.

Unfortunately, the SWAT officers were expected to arrive any moment.

Landon's face paled with fear, and he suddenly blurted out, "You made me do this, Mom. You said if I helped the Wrays tamper with Taylor's financial statement, it would give us the upper hand."

Stunned by his words, Tamia spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yet, Landon continued, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll make sure to visit you in prison. Unlike me, you don't have much time left. My life has just begun. Think about your unborn grandson!"

With only a daughter to his name, Landon usually behaved poorly and mistreated his wife. Rather than showing kindness to her daughter-in-law, Tamia had preferred Landon keep mistresses in hopes of bearing a son.

However, she never anticipated her own words would return to bite her.

As she gasped for breath, Tamia could no longer suppress her rage and shouted, "You ungrateful son!"

Landon winced as pain shot through his neck from the forceful tugging. He shoved Tamia away, sending her tumbling to the ground. While Ophelia burst into laughter at the sight, the employees looked on in deep embarrassment.

The Montclair family's longtime followers turned away in disappointment. Though it was advised to seek a virtuous wife, Camden regrettably went for someone like Tamia instead.

When the SWAT officers arrived to make arrests, they were met with the absurd scene before them.

Although Landon attempted to shift the blame to Tamia, the law wouldn't excuse his actions. In the end, all the criminals were taken away, leaving the Montclair Group in complete ruins.

Instantly, Hawford's aristocratic families descended into chaos. To see two major families collapse in a single month was unprecedented.

Many questioned Wynter's innocence in the matter, especially since the Montclair family had suffered a downfall just as they attempted to act against her. Still, they remained skeptical that Wynter could command the SWAT team.

"I've looked into it, Mr. Waldron, and it seems like everything's a coincidence. Someone with the surname Keller from the higher-ups has been looking into the Montclair family for quite some time," came the report.

Edison was immediately reminded of a figure from his past-Lucas Keller.

Back then, Lucas was still struggling with his political standing, but he had now risen to a level far beyond Edison's reach. Edison couldn't help but suspect that Lucas had backers supporting his rapid ascent.

"Don't act rashly. We'll leave the Montclairs to face their fate. Tell Mr. Lark and the others to keep a low profile for now. We'll postpone any dealings with Wynter Quinnell," Edison instructed, hoping to buy some time.

Alas, it was wishful thinking, as Wynter might not give them the chance to recover.

Meanwhile, many people had witnessed the Montclairs' arrest at the Montclair Group. At that point, there was no need for solid evidence to understand the injustice that had befallen Noah.
