After coming out, Jean went straight back next door, only to find that Ian was already waiting inside.
His face was expressionless as he unbuttoned his sleeve and asked in a soft voice, “What's the matter?”
Ian immediately reported, “It's news from abroad. Nightshade has started to take action. Two small divisions of the black market in Essley have been eradicated. As expected, there were Bartitsu experts among them. However, they were no match for Nightshade and didn't pose any threat to us. After this commotion, the person in charge of the black market in Essley probably realized they've bitten off more than they can chew. So, they've sought help from the mafia to join forces against us.”
Jean paused in his actions and let out a cold chuckle.
“Tell Nightshade not to hold back. This time, the illicit profit chain between the black market and the Jones family must be completely uprooted, no matter what!”
Ian nodded. “Rest assured that I will notify Nightshade as soon as possible.”
After discussing that matter, Jean asked again, “Have Storm and Cloud left to meet up?”
“Yes, we've already contacted Mr. Leyva. However, we probably won't be able to take action tonight. After all, we need to plan thoroughly in advance. Plus, our team needs to fully understand the issues within the black market's internal system.”
Jean's eyes narrowed slightly as he made a decision on the spot.
“In that case, let TorrentCloud go as well. He will be more efficient in this regard.”
Naturally, Ian had no objections and immediately accepted the task.
In order to deal with Asher once and for all, Mr. Beauvort has really pulled out all the stops this time...
“Where is Asher? Have we found out his whereabouts yet?”
Regaining his composure, Ian immediately responded, “Not yet, but we suspect that he is likely to be at the black market's headquarters. I will increase the manpower for a thorough investigation.”
Jean nodded, having no other questions to ask, he let Ian leave.
The very next morning, after having breakfast, he went straight to the office.
Recently, there had been quite a few projects severed from Marks Group that require his personal attention.
These past few days had been particularly challenging for the Marks family.
Beauvort Group unilaterally terminated the partnership, so the losses were minimal, but the financial strength of Marks Group simply couldn't compare to that of Beauvort Group.
The project had come to a near-complete halt, so the Marks family couldn't possibly bear such a massive loss.
Upon hearing this news, Kyra couldn't sit still any longer. She hurriedly returned to her country in a state of panic.
Since Alex was tied up with his own troubles and couldn't spare a moment, she made up an excuse to rush back and handle the termination of the contract.
As for the matters concerning Alex, she simply didn't have the mood to care, nor the inclination to bother.
After a flight of more than ten hours, she returned home, anxious and exhausted.
Dandy immediately let loose a barrage of scolding at Kyra the moment she stepped through the door.
“What have you been up to abroad? Why did you provoke Jean to the point that he's so ruthless toward our family? Now all our collaborations have been cut off! Do you realize how serious this is?”
As Kyra was guilty, she naturally wouldn't tell the truth.
“Why are you being so harsh toward me, Mom? I didn't do anything! It's all a misunderstanding! I even called Jean to explain! I thought I had made everything clear, so I don't know why he suddenly turned against me!”
After she finished speaking, she turned to Dandy and asked, “Mom, with such a big incident happening, haven't you gone to see Aunt Wrenn?”
The look on Dandy's face turned even more unpleasant when she heard that.
“I'm surprised you have the audacity to bring that up! The Beauvort family has completely cut ties with us, and Wrenn has refused to help me!”
Upon hearing that even Wrenn was no longer on their side, Kyra's heart sank to an all-time low.
After this incident, it was clear without a doubt, that her career in the entertainment industry was completely ruined, and her popularity had taken a severe hit.
She had lost over half of her most loyal fans, and people knew her as nothing but a vicious and scheming woman.
Kyra would seethe with anger whenever she thought about the insults from the netizens that were directed at her.
“Mom, this issue isn't my fault at all, it's all because of Neera! She's the one scheming behind my back, stirring up trouble in front of Jean. Why else would Jean dislike me so much? How could he disregard the bond between our families and oppress us like this? If anyone is to blame, it's all on Neera!”
