With the persuasion of L and Miranda, Cara sat at a table on the outermost edge of the hall, feeling humiliated and surrounded by the mocking and gloating eyes of even the Lowe family’s distant rtives, servants, bodyguards, and caretakers.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Even Emmanuel’s face was ashen with anger. When he looked towards Victoria in the central area, he saw only deep pain and resentment.


    Emmanuel secretly sneered to himself: What kind of olddy is giving everyone a way out? What kind of “we’re all family” nonsense is this? These were all just his own wishful thinking!


    His wife and daughter were right…


    “L, if you don’t help me regain my dignity today, then forget about your wedding with Miranda! I will never ept you as my son-inw!” After sitting down, Cara said tearfully with anger.


    “Don’t worry! And honey, don’t be upset either. I promise that soon enough your Grandma and Uncle wille begging for you two back. Just make sure not to soften up when they do!” L smiled reassuringly.


    Upon hearing this remark from L, Cara gritted her teeth fiercely while pounding on the table, “Soften up? If they reallye begging for me back, then even if they kneel on their knees for three days straight, I won’t forgive them! How could I ever soften up?”


    The goddess CEO also had an icy expression, “L, things have already reached this point. I’ve lost any illusions about grandma so how could I possibly soften up? What exactly are you getting out of this deal?”


    L smiled mysteriously as he leaned in close to whisper into her ear, “I told you before that Lowe’s Pharmaceutical would be yours! Remember to make sure…”


    Feeling L’s hot breath blowing against her ear made Miranda feel ticklish; her pretty face flushed red while her earlobes became moist.


    At that moment, the elderly matriarch stood up, pressed her hand down for silence, and the entire room hushed.


    With the assistance of Romeo’s family, she walked to the central stage that had been prepared in advance in the hall.


    She surveyed the room and then looked towards Emmanuel’s family, holding a microphone as she began, “Today, we are here to celebrate my second son, Romeo’s sess! Congrattions on securing an order for Lowe’s Pharmaceutical that has surpassed 500 million! This is unprecedented for our Lowe family’s many industries.


    “I am grateful that I entrusted Romeo with the pharmaceuticalpany rather than leaving it to certain self-serving and self-righteous juniors. In their hands, thepany could never have achieved such remarkable sess! Please join me in weing Romeo to say a few words to everyone…”


    Apuse erupted throughout the room, whether genuine or not.


    Cara sat there, fuming.


    Miranda, Emmanuel, and Mason also looked indignant. It was Miranda and L who deserved credit for Lowe’s Pharmaceutical receiving so many orders. However, in the olddy’s mouth, it had all be Romeo’s achievement while she subtly mocked Miranda.


    Next up was Romeo who confidently took the stage and began to speak about how he secured those orders by making big distributorsply with contract changes. He was clearly proud of himself! Harlow and Eliza were beside themselves with excitement too; they felt like they were on top of the world as a family.


    Finally, Romeo added fuel to fire by talking about how they resolved the crisis when raw materials for drugs were cut off from their supplier. L and Miranda had been “vile” obstacles in his way ording to him.


    “Hmph! That Willis guy somehow got Albie on his side trying to cut off our supply chain for no good reason,” he said indignantly. “The funniest part is that even after we managed to get our hands on those materials from Mr. Diaz himself; that little punk still had audacity enough left in him to im there was something wrong with them!”


    As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned towards Emmanuel’s family with looks of scornful mockery mixed with resentment, because even if many people didn’t own shares in Lowe’s Pharmaceutical Company at year-end, they would still receive dividends which were directly proportional to its profits.


    If what Romeo said was true, then it would undoubtedly hurt their interests too since Miranda and L yed foul y behind their backs.


    “They deserve being kicked out of our family!”


    “Sitting there doing nothing but taking advantage should be enough reason for them all leave!”


    Seeing this scene unfold before her eyes made Victoria smirked coldly feeling vindicated while Romeo’s familyughed heartily at what happened.


    Emmanuel sat there looking grim-faced as ever.


    Cara was shaking with anger, her eyes red. “Let’s go! What are we still doing here?”


    “Mom…” Miranda tried to interject.


    “Let’s go!” Cara cut her off harshly.


    She couldn’t take it anymore. She felt like staying here with her family was just an invitation for the olddy and Romeo to humiliate them further. And she felt deeply disappointed and dissatisfied with L.


    But then, something unexpected happened.


    Crash!


    The ss door of the top floor hall shattered into pieces as a fat figure stormed in with a group of people behind him, all looking fierce and angry.


    “Romeo, you better have an exnation for me!” It was Sonny, the local agent from Ednd who pointed his finger at Romeo on stage and shouted angrily at him.


    He brought along several cardboard boxes that were thrown roughly onto the ground. The drugs inside spilled out like trash scattered everywhere on the floor!


    This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present. Even Cara forgot about leaving as she stood there in shock alongside everyone else.


    Romeo’s face turned dark as he angrily confronted Sonny, “What do you mean by this?”


    Victoria also had a furious expression on her face, “Sonny, today is our Lowe family celebration banquet. What are you doing?”


    “What do I mean? The goods that Lowe’s Pharmaceutical gave me had serious quality issues which almost got me sued!” Sonny retorted furiously, “Celebration banquet? Of course you would celebrate after cheating so much money using inferior drugs!”


    “I’m telling you now if I don’t get an exnation from you guys today, then be prepared to meet me in court!”


    Sonny looked indignant as he used them loudly.


    His words caused chaos throughout the room; even Romeo’s family and Victoria were left speechless for a moment.


    Cara stood up but hesitated before sitting back down again; it seemed like things might be taking a turn…
