Not only did they believe it, but they were also truly afraid of the power behind Grey Group.

With a single move, the other side had taken over ten of their companies. Just like that.

That kind of strength was hard to imagine. It was far beyond what the Millers could afford to challenge.

Daren and Ryder stared at Draven, angry but silent. They dared to glare, but they did not dare to speak. They did not even dare to make as much as a noise, let alone argue with him.

The Miller Group and Grey Group were both powerful families, but that did not mean they stood on equal ground.

True top–tier families in the world were few. The Millerz were influential and far stronger

behind. than most families, but compared to Grey Group, they were still way

It was like a three–way balance of power. The Greys, the Millers, and a few other elite families formed a stable structure. Either they worked closely together for mutual benefit, or they stayed out of each other’s way.

They had always believed that someone like Draven would never break that balance for a woman. Especially not for an eighteen–year–old high school girl from a remote city, from a family so insignificant compared to the elite circles of Vrastin.

Is Cassia going to marry into the Greys one day?

That thought made Daren and Ryder suck in a sharp breath.

Thank goodness there had been no engagement. If Ryder had actually married Cassia as a second wife, Draven wouldn’t have stopped at taking ten companies. Erasing their family completely from the world might not have been impossible.

It was terrifying!

“Mr. Grey, we were wrong. We-” Ryder said shakily, his voice trembling.

“This is a warning for you,” Draven said coldly. “If I ever see you bothering Cassia again, it won’t end with just ten companies.”

After delivering that final threat, Draven withdrew his icy gaze, turned, and strode out of the

room.

“My boss and Ms. Wood both dislike attention,” Seven said, glancing at the two men who looked scared out of their minds.

“So you know what to do. I don’t need to spell it out.” He let out a low, mocking snort.

You people actually dared to set your sights on Ms. Wood? Haha! If Mr. Grey hadn’t stepped in, did you really think you were untouchable?

“Yes, yes, of course,” Ryder stammered, shaking all over. “We will never tell anyone that Ms. Wood is Mr. Grey’s future wife.” Daren was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t say a single word.

Seven nodded in satisfaction and quickly followed after Draven.

Just a few seconds later, a desperate scream came from the room behind them. “Help! Someone help! Grandpa has fainted!”

Henry had spent several days in quiet retreat, fully focused on studying chess. He felt his skills had improved, so he invited Cassia to Easthedge House again for tea and a game.

Even with Cassia clearly holding back, he was defeated.

“You did a little better than last time,” Cassia said honestly after taking two small sips of tea.

“Really?” Henry asked, hardly daring to believe i

“Yes.” Cassia set her teacup down and stood up.

Henry was so happy he almost cried. Getting approval from a legendary–level player was no easy thing.

“I’m heading out,” Cassia said.

“I’m going back to the estate too,” Henry replied. After greeting Sutton, he waved for Randy to follow and walked toward the door.

Just as Cassia reached the front entrance, she ran into Vance and Aspen was coming in.

Both of them liked playing chess, so it was normal for them to be here.

Cassia walked straight past them without slowing down.

Vance had been looking for Cassia for days and hadn’t been able to find her. He never expected to run into her here.

Earlier that morning, Ryder had called him out of the blue and said the engagement to Cassia was canceled.
