<h4>Chapter 772: jksdbvjkwdB</h4>


    "In a few days, you will also receive a legal notice from mywyer. Mr. Sean, you won’t be able to escape your defamation charges! Honey, I’ve said everything I needed to. Let’s go!" E coldly withdrew her gaze and calmly faced the cameras.


    Everyone was utterly shocked, feeling as if they were witnessing something surreal.


    The Imperial Crown Club was indeed a property of the Carter Group, andter, E mentioned that all the surveince cameras at the club were mysteriously malfunctioning on the night of the incident.


    However, a few dayster, a hacker made a deal with E, leaking a video that exposed the truth...


    Everything seemed to hint at Sean’s cunning schemes!


    People were astonished, and Julia and Sean were quickly surrounded by reporters, desperately trying to exin themselves. But many began to question Sean’s motives, and what had once been a joyous party suddenly copsed under the weight of the scandal.


    Eric shot a provocative nce at Mason, whose expression had darkened, before linking arms with E and casually walking away.


    Mason’s face was extremely grim!


    He had invested a billion dors into Carter Group just to oppose Eric, and yet, before he could even make his move, E’s actions had ruined everything!


    E and Chloe hadn’t pursued the Imperial Crown Club’s responsibility earlier, but now, at such a critical moment...


    Mason shuddered, staring intently at E’s retreating figure, realizing that she had be even more elusive and unfathomable.


    That girl, E, sure had a heavy mind!


    She had purposely held back, waiting for Sean to strike first, so she could counterattackter!


    In one move, she turned the tables and shattered Carter Group’s ns!


    With her teaming up with Eric, Mason suddenly felt uneasy. If things continued this way... he was certain to lose to them.


    It seems... he needed toe up with a n!


    A cold, sharp light shed in Mason’s eyes!


    Be noticed Mason staring at E’s back and let out an unhappy huff, angrily squeezing his arm.


    Mason winced in pain and gave Be a cold look.


    "Are you out of your mind?" he snapped, clearly displeased. Be was, after all, the mayor’s daughter, yet how could she be so petty?


    It seemed like she wouldn’t be hispanion for much longer.


    "Hmph, you keep staring at her, Mason! She’s not interested in you. No matter how much you stare, you’re never going to get her!" Be muttered under her breath with a gloating smile.


    She couldn’t have Eric, and Mason couldn’t have E—it was only fair!


    Mason’s face darkened, but he quicklyposed himself as some guests began to leave, noticing that more reporters were flooding into the hall.


    This party was truly a disaster!


    Sean was absolutely furious that night!


    Although, having already been enraged twice before, he had built up some resilience. Still, once home, he was livid over what E and Charles had said.


    "They dared to send me a legal notice? Fine! We’ll hire the bestwyers. We have to win thesewsuits!" Sean fumed, panting in anger.


    Julia patted his back with a serious expression. "Don’t be angry; it’s not worth harming your health over this! The Carter Group is facing so much negative press right now. Luckily, Mr. Scott invested a billion dors in us... it will help ease the crisis for now. Mr. Scott is quite talented. Tomorrow, talk to him and see if there’s a way to counter them before the trial even starts!"


    Julia’s words were met with agreement from Leah and others.


    Frank nodded eagerly. "Mom’s right, Dad. Can you think of any other ways to deal with them? Mr. Scott is so smart, he’s bound toe up with some great ideas."


    Leah pursed her lips, never forgetting the vicious ps she had received from Mason!


    To this day, no one from the Carter Group even knew that Mason had hit her.


    Mason, shrewd? If he were truly that sharp, he wouldn’t have been outsmarted by Eric, and caught in bed with Be!


    Sean finally calmed down a little.


    "Alright, I’ll talk to him tomorrow. That punk Eric can’t be underestimated!"


    Sean attributed all of the bacsh to Eric. He was convinced that without Eric, E wouldn’t have gotten her hands on the hacker’s video. There was no way E could havee up with the n to turn the tables on them tonight without his help!


    Evelyn, slightly worried, wasn’t as naive as she seemed. She could tell E was not just a pretty face—hermanding presence revealed she had a sharp mind too. But Evelyn couldn’t intervene; as a woman, she didn’t wield as much influence as Leah did.


    ...


    At the beach that night...


    The cool sea breeze swept over them as E wrapped a jacket around herself, gazing at the white-capped waves. Her head rested against Eric’s chest, the two sitting quietly on the sand.


    This moment was pure bliss.


    "Feeling satisfied tonight? That old fox Sean tried to scheme against you, but it was hopeless!" Eric chuckled. They hade up with a n over dinner, and called Charles to have him bring Chloe along.


    When Chloe arrived and saw Mason with Be, she witnessed his unfaithfulness with her own eyes. It was the only way for her to let go of the toxic feelings she still harbored for him. Hanging on to a man like that was pure self-torture.


    "Of course I’m satisfied. As long as I have you by my side, I’m happy no matter where we are." E smiled, her eyes filled with affection and warmth, her heart overflowing with sweetness.


    Eric kissed her cheek. "They’re probably going to strike back soon. We need to stay alert."


    E nodded. Mason wouldn’t let this go easily. He’d been yed, and now that his partnership with the Carter Group had barely begun, she had already thrown a wrench into their ns in front of everyone.


    "Oh, by the way... tomorrow, I’m going to visit Grandma Carter and my mom. Would you like toe with me?" E asked softly.
