Geoffrey forced a smile, pressing his face against the window to look into the car, seemingly wanting to say something else.
Lance stepped on the gas, the car narrowly brushing past Geoffrey.
Geoffrey stumbled back, his face ashen as he watched them leave, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart!
"You're just going to let them leave like that?" Adela came forward and supported him.
"What else can I do?" After steadying himself, Geoffrey shook off her hand. "How could Lance really stick his neck out for her? And how could I really dare to touch Lance?"
If Lance lost a single hair at the Lee estate today, he couldn't afford to compensate, even with the entire family's assets!
"Now we can only bet that he will keep his word and won't take our assets."
After Adela finished speaking, her tone became a bit more certain. "He probably wouldn't covet the Lee family's wealth. He has the entire James family."
Geoffrey glared at her. "Who would ever complain about having too much money? The point is, will Catherine secretly swallow the shares!?"
Lance might not care for their wealth, but what about Catherine?
"Then—" Adela felt anxious. "Why did you let them go?"
"What was I supposed to wait for?" Geoffrey was even more irritated. "Wait for Lance to wipe out our entire family!? Right now, we can only take a gamble!"
From the very beginning, every step Geoffrey took had been meticulously planned, yet always contained an element of gambling.
It was just that he had never felt such a slim hope of survival like now...

The Cullinan drove smoothly on the highway, the Lee family's villa gradually disappearing in the rearview mirror.
Catherine's tense body completely relaxed. She leaned back in her seat and let out a soft sigh.
It had only been a day and a night, but it felt like half a century.
She asked Lance, "Where is Lanny?"
"At home. Don't worry, Susan is back. The two of them are taking care of him." Lance steered with one hand while resting the other on his chin, observing her through the rearview mirror.
There were faint dark circles under her eyes; she definitely hadn't slept well last night.
