Chapter 504
Louisa thought for a moment, then looked at Flore. “I know a bit about the Young Group’s situation. Recently, Isaac’s been desperately trying to reach Julian and Mr. William Tuder for financing. The Young Group right now is just an empty shell. Taking it back wouldn’t mean much. Julian hasn’t said so explicitly, but I suspect the Young Group’s problems go beyond cash flow–there are probably deep internal issues that can’t be
easily fixed. Julian’s unwillingness to invest in the Young Group is likely because it’s either beyond saving or not worth saving. In that case,
fighting tooth and nail to reclaim it doesn’t make sense. Worse, Isaac might set traps for you along the way. Instead of that, you should
rebuild.”
“Rebuild?” Flora and Sadie both stared at Louisa in shock.
Louisa nodded. ‘Reclaiming your grandfather’s legacy isn’t about taking back something unrecognizable. It’s about rebuilding his vision- rebuilding the perfume empire that once was. That’s something that withstood the test of time and remained timeless. It’s not just a name.
Once you’ve risen to the top with all that, won’t taking back the Young Group be easy?”
Flora and Sadie were completely stunned.
Flora slowly nodded. “You’re right. That really woke me up. That’s exactly how it should be.”
Sadie said, “But rebuilding would require capital, right? Flora has nothing right now. Where would that kind of money come from?”
Louisa looked at Flora for a moment, then took her hand. ‘Don’t worry about the money. I’ll invest in you.”
That one sentence ignited Sadie’s passion.
Sadie grabbed Flora’s other hand. “Louisa’s right. No matter what happens, we’re in this together.”
Flora looked at her two best friends, her eyes instantly welling up with tears.
Half–laughing, half–crying, she said, “You two are so bold. Aren’t you afraid I’ll fail?”
Sadie didn’t hesitate. “So what if you fail? Didn’t I just say we’re in this together? Right, Louisa?”
Louisa smiled faintly, her tone calm but full of conviction. “With me here, you won’t fail.”
That audacious statement made both Flora and Sadie laugh.
That very night, they began drafting a plan.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Teddy and Noah arrived at Julian’s place together.
After Noah explained what had happened with Hawk, Julian’s entire presence radiated a bone–chilling coldness that was deeply unsettling.
Teddy leaned toward Noah and whispered, “Why didn’t you tell Mr. Tudor about this right away?”
Noah replied, “Ms. Forbes said Mr. Tudor was dealing with the disaster zone and it wasn’t safe. She told me not to say anything until Mr. Tudor

get back
Teddy was speechless.
Though Louisa’s intentions had been good, judging by his boss’s expression, it was clear that even after Julian returned, Louisa still hadn’t told
him.
Teddy quickly pulled up information on this Hawk character.
The more he dug, the worse it got.
Teddy said to Julian, “Mr. Tudor, this Hawk isn’t supposed to be out of prison yet. Someone paid a large sum to bail him out. And the moment he got out, he went straight after Louisa. It’s obvious–someone deliberately released Hawk to target her.”
Julian said, “Find out who bailed him out.”
“Yes, sir.” Teddy immediately got to work.
Now Julian understood why Louisa had tried to leave quietly. Hawk’s reappearance must have awakened the insecurities buried deep in her
heart.
Combined with his mother’s insults and her father’s pressure, she’d decided to leave alone and sever everything here.
Just thinking about how much she’d hidden from him made his chest ache with anger.
Teddy was texting on his phone, arranging for his team to investigate Hawk, while carefully observing his boss’s reaction.
Meeting Julian’s icy gaze, Teddy gave a strained smile. “Mr. Tudor, give me a little time. This is… complicated.”
Julian said, “Go straight to Teresa. Confirm whether it was her.”
He already had his answer. Nine times out of ten, Teresa was behind this.
Teddy immediately shifted his approach, focusing on Teresa.
Sure enough, the results came quickly.
Teddy said, “You’re right, Mr. Tudor. It was Teresa who bailed Hawk out. She also had someone leak Louisa’s information to him.”
Before he even finished speaking, he saw Julian’s expression darken even further.
Teddy involuntarily shivered. Teresa was in for it now.
Noah was already cursing aloud. “That woman is truly evil. She nearly got Mr. Jonathan Tudor killed back then. She caused Mr. Jonathan Tudor and you to be separated for years. And now she’s sending someone to hurt Ms. Forbes. Mr. Tudor, just say the word–should we take her out?”
Noah was fuming, rolling up his sleeves as if he wanted to deal with Teresa right then and there.

Julian’s hos curved into a cold, chilling smile. His tone was slow and deliberate. “No need to kill her. Send her straight to Blacksite Island. She
wont need to come back in this lifetime.
The moment those words left his mouth, Teddy and Noah exchanged a glance and both shuddered simultaneously.
Blacksite Island.
Teddy had never been there, but he’d heard Noah talk about it.
Blacksite Island was a solitary island near Antarctica, surrounded entirely by ocean.
The island was crawling with ferocious beasts and unknown creatures–danger lurked everywhere.
On top of that, Antarctica’s climate was brutal. The weather was unforgiving. Most people wouldn’t survive there.
It was a place more terrifying than hell itself.
Noah had once been “fortunate enough to go there on a mission. When he came back, he’d had a high fever for a month straight and nightmares for three.
F
He’d said he’d rather go into a dragon’s lair on a mission than ever return to that godforsaken place.
Now, at the thought of sending Teresa there, Noah was practically vibrating with excitement. “I’ll arrange it right now. Let that woman beg for
death and not get it!”
He turned and left.
Teddy, however, looked at Julian with some concern. “Teresa did something unforgivable, so whatever happens to her, she deserves it. But…
