Chapter 425 Beyond Broken Ties
“In the future, there will be no more disputes, no more rivalry. Everyone can go their separate ways;
wouldn’t that be great?”
“But…”
Lennon, standing nearby, shook his head with a faint smile and jeered, “Even if you destroy Lenoir
Group, what then?”
“In the future, even if you and Dame manage to rebuild a thriving business, can you guarantee that
your descendants won’t tear each other apart for the spoils?” Maeve retorted; her gaze was sharp and
cold.
“The downfall of the Lenoir Group doesn’t rest on the shoulders of the organization itself but on the
twisted ambitions of the Lenoir family members.”
Maeve red at Lennon. “Why do you care?”
“Frankly, it’s none of my business,” he said casually.
Lennon shifted into a morefortable position on the couch. “I’m merely disturbed witnessing the
annihtion of a once esteemed and respected establishment, all because of your impetuous
vendetta.”
She hurried to thepany early in the morning, determined to meet Damien and make himply
with her demands. She intended to exploit Raymond’s recent mistakes, exacerbate the situation, and
involve the entire Lenoir Group.
Although it was a minor case involving counterfeit goods, she believed that sensationalizing it could
tarnish the reputation of the Lenoir Group.

Lennon noticed the divergent problem-solving approaches of Damien and Maeve.
In the past, Damien had once proposed holding the Lenoir Group ountable for his parents” tragic
fate.
But as time unfolded, his perspective changed.
He hoped for the truth to surface so Raymond could face the consequences he deserved and perhaps
find redemption for being too weak to save them when he was younger.
Yet, Maeve remained stubborn to destroy it all.
“What happened with your parents back then…
Raymond closed his eyes and let out a bitter chuckle. “If I were to im innocence, I’m certain you
wouldn’t believe me.”

“But that incident…”
He let out a bitterugh and looked up at Maeve, “Maeve, thirteen years ago, you tried to tarnish my
name with baseless usations, hoping to make me pay for what happened to your parents.”
“I did not expect you to still hold onto that hatred from the past.”
“Yes, I misled your mother, convincing her to transfer her shares to my name.”
“But I never intended to harm anyone, Raymond said in remorse.
Maeve’s grip tightened on the wheelchair’s handles; her voice trembled in fury. “It’s been years, Uncle
Raymond. Your insistence won’t resurrect the past.”
She fixed her steely gaze on him. “Think logically. Who had a motive to kill my parents, if not you?”
Old Mr. Lenoir remained silent.
After a pregnant pause, he sighed, ncing at Damien, who was tenderly attending to Cherise’s
wounds. “Damien, what’s your take on this?”
“I can’t say much. You have the upper hand.
Damien nonchntly ced the object he held aside and delicately wiped the corner of Cherise’s
mouth. “Will my words ever matter to any of you?”
Nobody in the Lenoir family had acknowledged him ever since he was a little boy.
Not his grandfather, nor his uncle and aunt…
Not even the household staff.
Since Maeve’s passing, he had felt like a forsaken child carrying the weight of loneliness in a world
where the only person willing to listen had vanished.
But now, Damien realized that it had all been his wishful thinking.
Not even Maeve had ever truly valued his opinions.
Having built his own sessful business, he could challenge the influence of the Lenoir family and the
power tomand obedience.
Yet, he remained utterly insignificant in the eyes of his family.
Even after spending an entire day exining to his sister that evidence and a personal apology from
Uncle Raymond were needed to rectify the past, that obliterating the Lenoir Group was not the solution.
Yet, his words were brushed aside.
Especially Maeve, who was not willing to hear him out.
