Nina wore a grim look all the way home. The moment Jensen dropped her off at the Tann Villa, she immediately called Leo.

“Ms. Tann.”

“Move our plan forward ahead of schedule,” Nina said in a cold tone. “I want Beaumont Group’s stock price to plummet to an unprecedented low within three months.”

“Ms. Tann, did something happen?”

Her family was Nina’s bottom line. Now that Julian had laid hands on her loved ones, she was never going to let him get away with it.

Meanwhile, inside the Beaumont Villa in Halmont.

“Julian! How could you agree to call off the engagement with Jensen? What did you promise me before you left? How could you lie to me!” Audrey stormed straight into Julian’s study, burning with rage.

Julian rubbed his temples wearily. “Audrey, he is not the right man for you. I can find you someone far better.”

“I don’t want anyone else! I only want Jensen! No one else will do!”

“Audrey!” Julian slammed his palm on the desk and spoke sternly, “I can give you anything you want, but marrying a man who has no feelings for you will ruin your whole life. His heart does not belong to you, and marriage will never change that. I promised our parents I would look after you, and I won’t let you act so recklessly.”

Audrey’s face darkened instantly.

“I mean it,” Julian said coldly. “You can marry any man who truly loves you, but not Jensen.”

“But I only have eyes for him…” Audrey hung her head and began to shed tears.

Julian softened at the sight and gently stroked her hair. “Don’t worry. He has treated you badly, and I won’t let him get off easy. If he is willing to cherish you for a lifetime, I will have no objection to your marriage.”

“He only has Nina in his heart. There is no place left for me.” Hatred flared up in Audrey’s eyes the second Nina’s name was mentioned.

Julian could not help but picture that shrewd woman in his mind. “Nina turned down my offer and refused to leave him for money. She needs to learn that even staying here in Halmont, I can still manipulate things going on in Linholt. Rest assured, I will sort this out for you.”

Audrey finally nodded obediently. She was willing to do anything just to drive Nina away from Jensen.

Back at the Grey Group’s office in Linholt.

Kent reported to Jensen, “Sir, we have finished the investigation. The culprit was a heavy drinker buried deep in debt. Shortly before the accident, a sum of 300 thousand dollars was suddenly deposited into his account to clear all his debts.”

Jensen let out a cold snort. Did Julian really think such clumsy tricks could fool me?

“Send all these materials over to the Beaumont family,” he said, handing a sealed document bag to Kent.

Kent looked confused. “Sir, what are you planning to do?”

“These photos and chat records prove how Audrey ruined her own reputation to get close to me and slipped sedatives into my drink. This is more than enough to make her lose all face in high society. Once Julian sees these, he will know exactly what he should do.”

“But sir, this will push us into a full-out feud with the entire Beaumont family.”

“If there is going to be hostility, let them start it. I have never feared making more enemies.”

“Understood, sir.” Kent took the documents and left.

It was all Audrey’s own fault for getting too carried away after her scheme nearly succeeded. She had even secretly kept intimate photos in her phone. One showed her leaning close to him half undressed in bed, and another captured her taking the initiative to kiss his cheek. Jensen had been completely unconscious the whole time.

Besides that, Jensen had also obtained all chat logs between Audrey and Ruth, which clearly recorded every detail of their plot to force the marriage.

Once these secrets spread across Halmont, everyone in their social circle would know the truth within a single day, and Audrey would end up being shunned by everyone around her.
