Shilpy held the umbrella over Fugaku, escorting him to the car. Before leaving, she turned back and gave the Vegas family a cold, piercing stare. Her sharp, crimson eyes were terrifying, sending chills down Shanny’s spine and the others’.“I’m sorry, Sir. It’s my fault for acting recklessly and causing you so much trouble,” Shilpy said apologetically once she got into the car.“There’s no need to apologize. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Fugaku smiled faintly. “Besides, even if we did, what could they possibly do to us?”Hearing that, Shilpy felt much more at ease. With the young master’s strength, forget the Negoro and Suryanata families, even the four great families of the Northern region could be crushed if he wished. If they were displeased, they could simply be dealt with. Who would dare to speak against him?The strong have no reason to fear anyone. The only reason the Vegas family trembled was because they lacked Fugaku’s power.“You understand your next task, don’t you?” Fugak

Shilpy froze for a moment, staring blankly at Nurul. Her body tensed, unsure of what to do.“She wants you to carry her. I told you, she’d like you,” Fugaku said with a smile, stepping closer to her. “Honestly, the first time I saw her, I was even more nervous than you.”Shilpy slowly lifted her hands, but her eyes stayed fixed on Nurul. She had grown up in a brutal environment—if she didn’t eliminate others, she wouldn’t survive. Because of that, she had never known what happiness or sadness felt like. She didn’t know how to smile, or how to cry.Then she met Fugaku—the first person to ever accept her completely. But now, as she faced Nurul, her heart pounded violently.Thump, thump, thump!It felt as if her heart might explode at any second.If Fugaku was the light that had brightened Shilpy’s dark world, then Nurul was her sun, melting her coldness with warmth and innocence.“An angel… she’s my angel,” Shilpy whispered, tears welling in her crimson eyes.Her stiff body finally move

After speaking, Shanny held her breath, waiting for a response.Melin’s cold voice came through the line. “The board of directors has decided that YNetwork Group will continue its partnership with your family.”Those words lifted the crushing weight from everyone’s hearts. Each person in the room let out a long sigh of relief, as if they had just been granted a second chance at life.“But!”Melin continued firmly, “YNetwork will proceed under two conditions.”“First, the only authorized representative of the Vegas family is Dimitri. If we find that you’ve replaced him, we will immediately terminate the partnership.”“Second, aside from Dimitri, all other members of the Vegas family, especially Shanny and Putri, are officially blacklisted from YNetwork Group. None of you are ever to conduct business with us again. That concludes our notice. We expect your cooperation.”Tut… tut… tut…The call ended abruptly.For a moment, the entire Vegas family sat in stunned silence, as if struck by

The Sixth Young Master didn’t dare go too far. Even though the big boss above him supported his every move, there were limits he couldn’t cross. His superior had made it very clear, they could take revenge, but not excessively.After some thought, the Sixth Young Master realized that the best he could do was destroy the Vegas family’s property.Still, tearing apart their home was more than enough to terrify them. With just that, the entire family, except Dimitri, was already trembling. The savage aura that hung in the air was suffocating, leaving everyone frozen in fear.Only after the Sixth Young Master left did the women finally burst into tears.Shanny’s legs gave out as she sank into a corner, clutching her trembling hands. Her eyes were filled with helplessness and despair, her expression utterly pitiful.One blow after another had crushed her completely. Deep inside, a voice whispered that the Vegas family’s end had already come.***Midnight, Villa Kerinci.Fugaku held a glass

Then Malki kicked his son hard, sending Akbar sprawling at Dimitri’s feet. His face twisted in fury.“Get down and apologize to the head of the Vegas family!”Inside, Akbar burned with humiliation. Every fiber of his being wanted to resist, but he didn’t dare. He lowered his head and bowed deeply.“I’m sorry, Uncle Dimitri.”Then he turned, facing Putri and Shanny.“I’m sorry, Shanny. I’m sorry, Aunt.”He bowed again. “Uncle, Aunt… I’m sorry.”“Second Uncle, Second Aunt… I’m sorry.”Akbar went down the line, bowing and apologizing sincerely to every member of the Vegas family.Everyone was stunned.The young master of the Negoro family, bowing to them? It was something none of them could’ve imagined in their wildest dreams.Malki shot Akbar a fierce glare, then turned back toward Dimitri with a softened expression.“Mr. Dimitri,” he said respectfully, “We’ve already withdrawn the court documents and paid the compensation in full. Additionally, we would like to pay fifty percent of the
