Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 671

Cyril stood up, shot a quick glance at Alaric, and hurried after him.

"Dad."

Once outside the Main Hall, Dorian's murderous rage could no longer be contained. As soon as they rounded the courtyard wall, he whipped around and kicked Cyril brutally in the stomach.

"Explain this to me right now! What the hell is going on? Didn't I tell you to stay at the courthouse and only release that statement if we were guaranteed to lose?!"

Cyril dropped to one knee, clutching his abdomen, his face completely drained of color. "Dad, I swear I withdrew the statement. I have no idea why it went out..."

"Useless! You really are a pathetic waste of space." Dorian glared at him with glacial eyes, leaving Cyril kneeling in the dirt as he marched out of Obsidian Estate alone.

Once the footsteps faded, Cyril stood up, his face devoid of all emotion.

The moment he left the estate, Dorian dialed Moira Nash. He had to figure out who was pulling the strings behind his back.

The Ravenshire family's statement had instantly ignited a firestorm of controversy online. Vivienne had just been cleared of all suspicion, yet the family was cutting ties with her at this exact moment? It seemed unfathomably ruthless.

Before the public could even process the drama, an earth-shattering scandal erupted outside the Stormhollow courthouse.

A hundred female victims had hidden themselves among the cheering crowds celebrating Vivienne's acquittal. The moment Judge Gresham exited the building, they swarmed her, each clutching a lawsuit, screaming for Mama Justice to save them.

This real-life act of ambushing a judge to demand justice instantly captured the nation's attention.

In the dead of winter, amidst a season of relentless chaos, a new high-stakes political chess game had begun.

Dorian's voice was absolute ice. He had personally vetted the newspaper and the contact before letting Cyril handle the logistics. If the man had flipped, it wasn't a testament to Cyril's incompetence—it was a testament to his own.

"Vincent Ingram boarded a flight out of Stormhollow five hours ago," Moira reported. "I also found a sudden wire transfer of two million dollars into his account."

"Drag him back."

"I apologize, sir. It's too late. The flight Vincent Ingram boarded suffered a fatal crash. There were no survivors."

Dorian hung up the phone, turning to stare out the window as a chilling light flickered in his eyes.

It seemed the Ravenshire family really did have a mole.
