?Chapter 578:


    Theo’s gaze hardened, his voice cold and resolute. “Wesley has never treated us like family. He shows us no mercy—why should we show him any?”


    Lawrence’s expression grew somber, his silence heavy.


    Zoie noticed the flicker of hesitation in Lawrence’s eyes, realizing he was wavering again. He couldn’t falter now. He had to be the one to handle this.


    Zoie gripped Lawrence’s hand tightly, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. “Honey, Theo is our only son. The thought of him being sent away to Tauledo breaks my heart.”


    Lawrence remained silent, his gaze distant as he wrestled with his thoughts. After a heavy pause, he finally spoke, his words hanging in the air. “How exactly do we n to spike his drink?”


    A spark of excitement flickered in Theo’s eyes. Lawrence was on board! He leaned forward, voice low and conspiratorial. “The Spencer Group is negotiating a partnership with Lanny Perkins, who deeply dislikes Wesley. If we team up with Lanny, we can damage Wesley’s reputation. Once Wesley loses credibility, he won’t control the Spencer Group, and I won’t have to go to Tauledo.”


    Once Wesley’s reputation copsed like a house of cards online, the leadership of the Spencer Group couldn’t remain unchanged.


    Lawrence nodded slowly, determination settling on his face. “Alright. I’ll contact Lanny. Meanwhile, you ensure the media is ready and that nothing leaks before we act.”


    Theo responded confidently, a hint of pride in his voice. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ve got it all covered.”


    A sly smile spread across Zoie’s lips. Wonderful! Once Wesley was out of the picture, the Spencer Group would be Theo’s. Then she could finally leave Lawrence for Joseph.


    However, in the corner of the room, Karen furrowed her brow, her difort clear. She disliked this n but couldn’t sway Lawrence or Theo. All she could do was hope things wouldn’t spiral out of control and that Theo could somehow stay in the.


    Wesley was in a foul mood. He yanked the car out of the garage and gunned it down the highway, pressing the elerator to the floor.


    The engine growled like a caged beast, and the sleek ck car cut through the night like a bolt of lightning.

    His face was impassive, his hands steady on the wheel as he pushed the speedometer to its limit.


    He drove furiously, reaching the mountaintop, only to find another car already parked there.


    Elena sat on the hood of her own vehicle, lost in thought. The sound of a car approaching made her nce over her shoulder, surprised to see Wesley. Only a handful of people knew about this hidden spot, making it an ideal ce for reflection. She came here whenever she needed a moment of peace.


    Today, she sought peace, having lost all leads about her mentor. She never expected to see Wesley here.


    Elena watched as Wesley stepped out of his car and walked toward her. She slid off the hood, ready to leave and give him space.


    But just as they passed each other, his hand caught her wrist. “Stay with me for a while,” he murmured.


    Elena turned to him, instantly sensing the weight of his somber mood. She had heard about what happened at the Spencer Group today.
