Chapter 414


    Chapter 413 Stop It


    A big group of burly men in ck stood in the vi, looking like they wanted to kill someone. Carmine


    and her men were standing opposite them, ready to fight. She paused momentarily, then Katherine


    pulled Noah behind her, but someone still noticed her.


    A certain man turned his head around and looked at her sharply. "Well, if it isn''t Miss Cornell." This man


    was none other than Emmanuel.


    Katherine''s face sank as she saw him, her eyes narrowed, and she sneered, "It has been a while. Mr.


    Gray, I heard yourpany can finally breathe a little. Shouldn''t you be working to raise it out of


    ashes? Why did youe to my ce?"


    He looked smug and proud; it was as if he didn''t juste out of a crisis. Then, he pulled his hand out


    of his pocket to wag his finger. "Your sources are fast, Miss Cornell. Mypany fell into a crisis


    thanks to you, but we''re strong. Not every random man or woman can bring us down. No matter how


    many traps youy out for us, you cannot topple us."


    "Is that so?" she scoffed, not nervous at all. Instead, she said calmly, "I heard you were arrested a few


    days ago. It''s proof that you guys can still be toppled no matter how strong you are."


    The mention of his arrest made Emmanuel''s face fall. His time in the detention center was the most


    disturbing aspect of this crisis for him. He had been worshiped by everyone his entire life; however, this


    one w marred his otherwise perfect life. Everyone gave him the cold shoulder ever since Gray


    Corporation got into a crisis. It felt worse than losing all his money. "I know you''re powerful." He


    stopped smiling. "Still, you can''t beat experience, youngdy. W Co. might be powerful, and I don''t


    deny that Joaquin is also a powerhouse, but you two alone can''t bring us down. I know you tried to buy


    some time to save Corey, so I''ll let it slide. Let bygones be bygones, shall we?"


    Nevertheless, Katherine was surprised he would say that. She mused over the matter and looked at


    the sly old b*stard coolly, then snickered, "You''re more flexible than I thought, Mr. Gray. So, you


    brought your men here to ask for peace?"


    After hearing that, he said, "You may say so, and I am also going to take Corey home. I know he''s


    been disturbing you as ofte."


    Her face fell upon hearing his words. "You want to take him home? Why? So, you can use him again?"


    "Oh, no, Miss Cornell. He''s my son. I''m just worried about him. It''s alright for a father to take his son


    home, don''t you think?"


    It was brazen of Emmanuel, but Katherine was used to it. "Cut the loving father act. You poisoned your


    own son. Don''t act as if you care about him."


    However, he wasn''t even fazed by her interrogation. "That''s in the past now. Let bygones be bygones,


    shall we? I''ll settle my problems with Corey in private."


    She couldn''t believe how low he could go and gave him a disdainful nce. "You''re being a bit too


    shameless there. I never agreed to let bygones be bygones. If I knew this would happen, I would''ve


    destroyed Gray Corporation immediately. You''d be a beggar roaming the streets by now."


    Her insults were forthright, and Emmanuel''s expression darkened upon hearing them. "Don''t push your


    luck, Miss Cornell. Just because I''m being courteous doesn''t mean you can insult me. You''re ten years


    too young to take me down, and words alone won''t hurt me."


    "We''ll see about that. You know full well I can take you down." Katherine stood up straight, refusing to


    back down. "You wouldn''t have made aeback if it weren''t for your benefactor. I don''t know who he


    is, but I know he''s as much of a piece of scum as you are. You''d better keep your head tucked down


    low. If I find out who your benefactor is, I''ll topple them and your wholepany."


    Then, he looked down at her. "So, you''re going to wage war against me instead of letting me take


    Corey home?"


    In response, Katherine sneered, "War? Please, you''re nobody. This is barely a skirmish. I won''t let you


    take him away. Now get out of my house or else."


    Negotiations broke down, and malice filled Emmanuel''s eyes. "Very well, then I must take him by


    force." He shot the men in ck a look.

    The burly men in ck understood what he was trying to say, and everyone got into their battle stance,


    ready to fight. Suddenly, a voice came from the top of the staircase, "Stop it!"


    Katherine''s brows furrowed at the voice, and she looked up to see Corey descending the stairs.
