Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 298

"I did plan to destroy you slowly, but it seems you've offended far too many people, and someone else beat me to the punch."

"Let me warn you one last time—never show your face in front of me again."

The ruthlessness on his face was undeniable. Vivienne's heart instantly plummeted into a freezing abyss, her throat constricting as if someone were strangling her, rendering her unable to make a sound.

Before she could even try to beg him to stay, Dante had already turned and walked toward his car.

Even though the sun was blazing and the afternoon air was sweltering, his departing figure exuded such a brutal coldness that it felt like standing in the middle of a winter blizzard.

"Mr. Hayes, where to next?"

Back in the car, Silas Vance asked Dante for directions.

Lately, Dante's schedule had been entirely unpredictable. Just like today—he had abruptly canceled a highly important corporate meeting and ordered Silas to drive him here.

It wasn't until Silas saw Dante blocking Quinn's path that he realized his boss had blown off the meeting specifically to see her.

Dante had likely intended to have a serious talk with Quinn, but who could have predicted they'd run into that troublemaker, Vivienne?

She had made them waste their time for nothing.

Dante's voice was low and heavy. "Back to the office."

"Yes, sir!" Silas stepped on the gas, steering the car toward the Hayes Corporation.

In the backseat, Dante's dark eyes were deep in thought as his mind raced to piece the puzzle together.

Who exactly was pulling the strings from the shadows?

The textile industry might not seem like a critical lifeblood sector, but massive suppliers like Highcrest Textiles had deep-rooted, tangled connections spanning both political and business spheres. These people just preferred to stay out of the spotlight.

Therefore, anyone capable of ordering all high-end textile factories to halt their supply simultaneously had to possess a background, network, and ruthlessness far beyond that of an ordinary elite.

There were barely a handful of people in Riverton with that kind of power.

No matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't guess who it was.
