Chapter 440:


    Breck raised the gun with his right hand, but his left quickly slid over the chamber. With a few metallic clinks, the bullets dropped to the floor—an unmistakable sign of surrender.


    Despite this, Vincent kept his weapon aimed, showing no sign of rxing.


    Jaxen, grinning, approached the butler and snatched the gun from him.


    “Didn’t you see that your master has already given up? Are you still trying to intimidate us?” he said, his tone sharp.


    The butler stood dumbfounded, unable to speak.


    Only then did Vincent lower his gun.


    Breck’s face twisted with frustration.


    He had only one daughter, Elora, who nowy in the hospital because of Katelyn’s actions. As a father, he felt powerless to seek revenge. Vincent held far too much control over him.


    “I don’t care why you’re here today,” Breck said, frustration evident in his voice. “But this woman needs to be held ountable for what she did to Elora.”


    Katelyn, clearly fed up with repeating herself, sank into the sofa with a smirk.


    “You and your daughter are alike, always ming me. Why not go after the man who’s really at fault?”


    Breck fell silent, struggling to find a response. Katelyn pressed on, her voice cutting.


    “Is it that you can’t act, or that you’re too scared? Your family and the Lawrences are linked through a business deal. Now that your family’s value is dropping, the Lawrences want to break off the engagement. So, you me me to cover up your own failings?”


    Katelyn’s blunt words exposed Breck’s deepest insecurities, fueling his anger.


    ???????? ?????????????? ???????? ???? ?????????ν?????????????


    “Enough! You don’t understand anything! They’ve been together for years; their feelings matter too! Even if business troubles threaten their rtionship, their emotions should be considered!”


    Katelyn’s eyes sparkled with a hint of mockery as a subtle smile touched her lips.


    “Unfortunately, Bartley is a very practical businessman. He’s not swayed by mere feelings.”


    Breck fell silent, unable to respond to her sharpment.


    In that moment, Katelyn realized why Bartley was so determined to drag her into this mess.


    Their union was a business deal.


    If the engagement were to be suddenly canceled, someone would need to be med.


    Acting impulsively would only make Elora more upset. But by making Katelyn the scapegoat, Elora’s focus would shift, making her believe the problems were entirely due to Katelyn’s interference.


    Elora’s emotional turmoil would give Bartley a perfect excuse to end the engagement.


    A cold glint shed in Katelyn’s eyes.


    Bartley had indeed schemed and manipted to get what he wanted. As she recalled the many assassination attempts Elora had orchestrated against her because of Bartley, Katelyn felt an overwhelming urge to return to the hotel and confront him.


    Meanwhile, Breck, suddenly noticing Katelyn’s missing cor, eximed, “Have you already found TS? Where is he?”


    Breck’s question only ignited the anger of the three people in front of him.


    Vincent’s eyes flickered to the cor still around Breck’s neck, and he scoffed, “What’s the point of wearing that fake cor?”


    Breck shifted ufortably, a sh of unease crossing his face.


    “What are you talking about? I don’t get it,” he said, ring at Vincent.


    “I know you’ve already tracked down TS and erased the cloud data. That’s why her cor is now off. Just tell me who he is and where to find him, and I’ll pay you well.”


    Vincent let out a dismissiveugh.


    “I’ve made so many copies of the evidence against you. It could spread worldwide in no time.”<fnb030> Content originallyes from Find[?]ovel</fnb030>


    Fear shed in Breck’s eyes as he struggled to keep hisposure.


    “We can work this out. Cornering me like this won’t help anyone. Just give me a chance,” he said.


    “You’ve been lying and scheming against us from the start. Why would I give you a chance?”


    Vincent shot back, rising from his seat and walking straight toward Breck.


    The fierce look in Vincent’s eyes caused Breck to lose his nerve.


    Before Breck could respond, Vincent made his move.
