Chapter 381

Connor spun around and headed for the door.

Just as he was about to step out, the bodyguards at the entrance moved to block his path.

Sorry, Mr. Ford, the event’s not over yet. We can’t let you leave,” one of them said politely.

With utmost courtesy, they escorted Connor back inside.

Connor felt a wave of panic wash over him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that tonight was about to go south.

But since he couldn’t leave, he reluctantly made his way back to his seat, feeling frustrated and helpless.

Just then, his phone buzzed with a new message.

He unlocked his phone and saw a text from an unknown number.

We’ve already made our move against the Garcia Group, just like you said.]

A satisfied smile played at Connor’s lips.

It’s finally happening,‘ he thought.

All those sleepless nights plotting against Joshua Garcia, all those connections he’d leveraged to go after the Garcia Group- it was all worth it.

Today was the day everything would pay off.

He slipped his phone back into his pocket, finally able to relax.

Once the ceremony on stage was over and Joshua stepped down, Connor picked up his wine and walked over to greet him.

Mr. Garcia, cheers to your daughter’s hundred–day party,” Connor said, raising his glass.

joshua came down alone. Seeing Connor approach with a toast, he just stood there, making no move to accept it.

He glanced at Connor, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.

Honestly, Mr. Ford, I didn’t expect you at my daughter’s hundred–day party. When the invitations went out, I only realized later that my staff had accidentally added your name. Sorry for the inconvenience,” Joshua said, with a hint of sarcasm.

He was basically saying he had no clue Connor was supposed to be here.

Connor was basically crashing the party.

Humiliated in front of so many people, Connor’s expression turned sour

Sull, he bit his tongue, knowing Joshua would be the one panicking soon enough.

“Mr. Garcia, it’s not like we’re sworn enemies, right? No need to make things so tense between us.” Connor said, his tone casual but with a hint of sarcasm).

As he spoke, Connor took a step closer, leaning in to whisper in Joshua’s can

“You know, your wife and I have a bond that just won’t break, no matter what. Wouldn’t you say so?”

Before he could even finish, Joshua kicked him hard, sending him crashing to the floor.

Connor let out a muffled groan as his back hit the ground, pain making him shudder.

Connor couldn’t believe Joshua would actually attack him in front of everyone. Rage and humiliation boiled inside him.

People around them cast curious, almost entertained glances, just there for the show.

Connor felt even more humiliated.

He scrambled to his feet, glaring at Joshua with fury.

“Mr. Garcia, is this your idea of hospitality? It’s your daughter’s hundred–day party, and this is how you treat someone who came to wish her well?” Connor demanded.

Joshua wasn’t the type to play by anyone else’s rules.

He just shot Connor a cold look, not giving a damn about the crowd watching.

“Did I ever bother to give you any respect?” Joshua retorted, his voice icy.

People started turning their heads as the commotion broke out.

Xylia was just about to talk to Josie, who’d been at the party for ages but only now came over to her.

Before they could even start their conversation, the commotion from across the room grabbed their attention.

Xylia spotted Joshua and Connor locked in a tense standoff from across the room. Her stomach dropped, panic rising in her chest, and she rushed over without thinking.

Josie quickly trailed after her, not wanting to miss the drama.

Xylia rushed to Joshua’s side, concern written all over her face as she looked at him.

Xylia asked, her voice trembling, “What happened? Are you okay?”

Joshua just shook his head.

Connor retorted, “Looks like I’m the one who’s got something to complain about here. Mr. Garcia just kicked me without even asking what happened. I just spoke the truth, didn’t expect you to lose your cool like that, Mr. Garcia.”

Xylia had no idea what Connor had said, but she knew it couldn’t be anything nice.

She shot Connor a frosty glare.

“Today’s

my daughter’s hundred–day party. If you’ve got issues, deal with them after the party. But if you dare mess this up, you’ll regret it,” she said, her voice icy.

Her face was ice–cold.

Connor clenched his fists, a flash of frustration flickering in his eyes.

He’d lost count of how many times Xylia had shot him down with icy sarcasm.

He couldn’t even remember anymore.

But every time she treated him like that, it always shook him a little inside.

“Xylia, I’m giving you one last chance. If you come with me today. I’ll let the past go. But if you refuse, you’ll be finished- right along with the Garcia Group, Connor warned, his voice barely above a whisper.

He spoke so quietly, none of the guests nearby could catch what he said.

People nearby gave them confused looks, clearly wondering what was going on.

Xylia frowned, her mind racing. What the hell is Connor trying to pull? Was he threatening me? she thought.

Joshua stepped in just in time, pulling Xylia behind him and giving Connor a cold, hard stare.

“Connor, you really think the Garcia Group is that weak?” Joshua said, his voice icy.

Just as Joshua finished speaking, a wave of phone alerts went off all around the room.

Everyone whipped out their phones, and as soon as they saw the news, they were totally stunned.

“The Ford Group is going bankrupt?” someone blurted out.

“How did the stock crash so hard?” another person gasped.

Everyone shot Connor pitying looks.

Connor heard the whispers swirling around him, stunned disbelief written all over his face as he fumbled for his phone.

He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the trending news. But when his assistant’s urgent message popped up, reality finally hit–this was really happening.

Connor snapped his head up, his eyes red with rage, burning with fury.

“Joshua, this is all your doing, isn’t it?” Connor spat, his voice trembling with anger.

He charged at Joshua like a madman, trying to take a swing at him.

Xylia clutched Joshua’s sleeve, about to rush forward, but Joshua stopped her just in time.
