Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 683

The despicable couple headed straight for the Blackwood Manor.

Upon arriving, they were denied entry.

"We're Mrs. Blackwood's parents," Frederick insisted, not daring to throw a tantrum at the security guards for fear of being physically removed. "We came specifically to see her today. Go inside and announce us."

"Mr. Blackwood and his wife aren't home. They went out to sea right after their yacht wedding, and even Madam Nadine went with them. You should leave."

Miranda asked, "When will they be back?"

"No idea. Our employers don't need to report their schedules to us. Now, please leave."

Left with no other choice, Frederick and Miranda had to head back home.

Now, all they could do was wait for Stella to return. Until then, their hands were tied.

...

While the Hawthorne family was scheming against Stella, the Jeter family was living through hell.

After Byron Jeter's company was exposed for tax evasion at Julius's wedding, authorities received an anonymous tip filled with concrete evidence.

The authorities launched a full investigation. He was slapped with a massive fine, and the company's stock completely tanked due to the scandal.

Former business partners pulled their contracts, causing immense financial losses. Right on cue, the banks began calling in their loans. Without a massive injection of capital, the company was staring down the barrel of bankruptcy.

Yvonne Jeter was also being sued by Kyson Sterling for defamation. Kyson had enlisted the Sterling Group's top-tier legal team from his father, refusing to drop the case or accept mediation while demanding maximum compensation.

The Jeter family bled another fortune, completely outmatched by the second son of Bay City's wealthiest family.
