Brielle, despite her disheveled and ragged appearance, said urgently, “Mr. Brooker, this woman is no saint. Five years ago, when she was only eighteen, she ruthlessly tried to kill my daughter. Now, she has somehow seduced you with her underhanded tactics. You mustn’t be deceived by her.”

“Yes, yes! We hit her partly as revenge for our daughter and partly for your sake. Imagine the damage to your reputation if people knew Mr. Brooker was involved with a convict. Right?”

Brendan’s last remark carried an implicit threat, suggesting that if Felix continued to protect Lauren, he would spread rumors of Felix’s association with a convict throughout high society.

But he clearly didn’t understand Felix’s character. Felix had previously tolerated rumors about his impotence to keep women at bay, so why would he care about this threat to his reputation?

No one could intimidate him.

Felix’s lips curled into a smirk, tinged with scorn and disdain, his gaze on Brendan and Brielle growing colder, like frost on a winter night.

“Recently, I’ve been preoccupied with the Eastgate project and completely forgot about Gray Corporation.”

At these words, Brendan and Brielle’s expressions froze, their previously arrogant demeanor washed away as if doused with cold water.

Brendan clenched his fists subconsciously, stunned by Felix’s words—a clear warning.

“What do you mean?” Brendan asked nervously.

Ignoring them, Felix calmly pulled out his phone and dialed Josh’s number. His voice was low and magnetic, yet struck like a hammer, “Block Gray Corporation’s industries completely.”

Brendan and Brielle’s pupils dilated in shock and disbelief.

Felix was initiating a business war against Gray Corporation unilaterally. Known as Hoverdale’s top conglomerate, with deep roots and diverse interests, Gray Corporation was not easily shaken.

Yet, coming from Felix, it seemed like a trivial matter, casual yet undeniable, forcing Brendan and Brielle to believe him.

Besides, with decades of experience in business and a profound understanding of the upper echelons of Corwynale, the Brooker family had the resources and connections to challenge Gray Corporation.

Brendan’s face turned ashen, his eyes filled with despair, “Mr. Brooker, we acted out of love for our daughter. How can you be so blind? Is it worth starting a business war with Gray Corporation over one woman?”

Felix repeated meaningfully, “Out of love for your daughter?”

He savored the phrase, his expression increasingly amused.

“If you truly love your daughter, you should seek the real culprit rather than falsely accusing Lauren.”

Brendan and Brielle were stunned, asking in unison, “What do you mean?”
