Yuri was head over heels for Daniel, yfully pinching his cheek as she eximed, "Perfect."


    Daniel then turned to Brittany, his voice a whisper, "Mom, don''t be mad, okay? I''ll make things right for you tonight!"


    In a family, grudges don''tst overnight.


    It was up to him to y peacemaker!


    Brittany chuckled, "Smart beyond your years!"


    After Daniel left, Brittany excused herself, iming she was tired and retreated to her room to rest.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Yuri, on the other hand, headed to the Lte Enterprises. As soon as she stepped into the office tower, a bombshell news piece exploded online! #Following the downfall of the Donahue family, Craneville''s top three families crumble!#


    Yuri immediately clicked on the news for more details.


    The four families that had once kicked the Ulbricht family when they were down had all been hit by scandals.


    The Donahue family had gone bankrupt.


    The other three families were exposed for numerous scandals, causing their stock prices to plummet.


    Family heads were even taken in by the police for questioning, reportedly due to anonymous tips with solid evidence.


    The news sent shockwaves through Craneville, putting everyone on edge.


    Yuri almost didn''t need to think to know it was Elijah''s doing.


    After years of plotting to take down the Donahue family, there was no way he would let the others off the hook.


    But such arge-scale move was bound to ruffle some royal feathers!


    Meanwhile, the reported families were in a state of panic.


    They gathered to devise a n.


    "Elijah''s gone mad, not just taking down the Donahue family but not sparing us either."


    "We should have been more ruthless from the start, it''s your fault for showing mercy!"


    "Shut it. How could we be more ruthless when Elijah had vanished without a trace?"


    "Damn it, where did Elijah get his evidence? We''ve been so careful over the years, how did he find something to pin on us?"


    "I bet he''s in cahoots with that Caspian, plotting against us." Someone spat in disgust. "I''ve heard that Caspian is no ordinary man." "Caspian?"


    Someone pulled out a photo of Caspian, and a recognition clicked, "I''ve seen this guy before."


    "Where?"


    "At a banquet, he was with Brittany."


    "Brittany?"


    "The Lte''s daughter?"


    "Yeah, they were off in a corner, whispering about who knows what..." The speaker couldn''t be sure of their rtionship. "Damn, did the Lte family also y a part in this?"


    The three families were deeply troubled.


    Even knowing Brittany and Caspian were close, they couldn''t afford to take action against the Lte family.


    After several upheavals, the three families faced endless scandals.


    Within a week, two families dered bankruptcy, and thest one was barely clinging to life, eventually seeking Elijah''s mercy.


    Elijah and Amber were busy nning their wedding. Upon hearing the plea, Elijah coolly responded, "Understood."


    Amber patted his shoulder, "Go to Bright Town first, love. I''ll handle the wedding dress. I''ll model it for you when I''m done." Elijah wasn''t bothered, "The dress is important."


    Those people weren''t worth his worry.


    A weddinges once. How could he let Amber deal with the dress alone?


    Amber didn''t argue further, trying on several designer dresses, each showcasing her elegance and slender figure, especially stunning in a mermaid cut.


    Elijah watched her, his eyes glowing with a mix of admiration and desire as his Adam''s apple bobbed.


    Finally, Amber chose a satin dress. Elijah took her hand, leading her out of the bridal shop.


    ""Mr. Ulbricht!"


    Someone called out his name, fighting through the crowd to stand before him.


    "Mr. Ulbricht, we were wrong. Please, give us another chance."


    The person fell to their knees, tears streaming, "We truly realize our mistake, we won''t do it again. Please, have mercy."
