C293: Heaven And Earth
After Grandfather Blackwell finished speaking, he exchanged a knowing glance with Victor. Surely Iris would give in now.With Tristan Harrington standing beside them and the threat against Raven & Radiance becoming increasingly serious, they believed she would finally understand that resisting them was pointless.But they were wrong. She merely snorted disdainfully. "No matter what means you use today, I won't compromise."Her voice was firm and unwavering. The more they tried to pressure her, the stronger the resistance in her heart became.She had endured their humiliation for years. She had been treated like an outsider in her own family, despite being a member of the Blackwell family herself. They had looked down on her, dismissed her achievements, and repeatedly tried to control her decisions.Now, after she had built Raven & Radiance from the ground up, they had the audacity to demand that she sacrifice everything she had worked for. She would never agree.Grandfather Blackwell
C292: Nobody Can Save You
Iris trembled as she struggled to rein in the anger boiling inside her.For several seconds, she remained silent. Then she slowly inhaled, forcing herself to calm down before lifting her head and meeting Tristan's gaze squarely."I will not withdraw the lawsuit, let alone agree to a settlement outside court." Her eyes darkened with determination. "I refuse to compromise."She might be at a disadvantage right now, but that didn't mean she would abandon everything she believed in.Naomi had deliberately tampered with Raven & Radiance's jewelry and endangered the lives of countless customers. This wasn't a simple business dispute that could be brushed aside with money.Yet they wanted her to compromise. They wanted her to withdraw the lawsuit and allow Naomi to escape the consequences of what she had done.A faint, mocking smile tugged at the corner of Iris' lips. If she compromised now, wouldn't she be betraying the trust of every customer who had supported Raven & Radiance?Those peopl
C291: Hand It Over
The crowd parted to reveal the new intruder. Iris' eyes trembled slightly as her frown deepened. The moment she saw the elderly man being helped forward, a trace of disbelief crossed her face."Grandfather?" Her voice carried a mixture of confusion and displeasure. "Why are you here?"Grandfather Blackwell was being led toward her by Victor and Catherine. The moment her eyes landed on them, her expression hardened.She didn't need to ask who had brought him here. Victor and Catherine had clearly gone to fetch the old patriarch after realizing that they could not force her to surrender Raven & Radiance themselves.The elderly patriarch stopped before her, his walking cane firmly gripped in one hand. His face was livid, and the veins on his forehead bulged with anger."You brat!" He pointed his cane directly at Iris. "You intentionally accused Miss Rossi, seriously damaging the relationship between the Harrington family and our family. Do you have any idea what kind of consequences your
C290: Cover The Sky
"Why?" Iris frowned slightly, a wary expression appearing on her face. "What is he doing here?" But Bobby didn't answer her question. Instead, he simply gestured toward the reception area. "Please come with me and have a look." There was something unusual about his expression that immediately made Iris uneasy. She didn't ask again. A few minutes later, they arrived at the reception area. Before they even stepped outside, they could clearly hear Tristan's arrogant voice coming from the front entrance. "Bankrupt Raven & Radiance!" Iris' frown deepened. She quickened her footsteps and walked out. The moment she saw the scene before her, her eyes widened. Tristan Harrington wasn't alone. Standing beside him was Raymond Aldridge, while several other officials and representatives stood behind them. There were representatives from the Quality and Standards Bureau. Officials from the city's health center were also present. Even several firefighters had come. Seeing so many different au
C289: I Know Someone...
The butler's hopeful expression immediately faded when Augustus Laurent slowly shook his head. "I'm afraid not."The words shattered the elderly butler's last hope. He had been desperately hoping that Augustus might have an answer. After all, the latter was already regarded as one of the most accomplished physicians in the region. If even he couldn't cure Gerald, then what hope was left?Just as Veyron had predicted, Gerald's condition wasn't a simple case of anorexia or poor appetite. The other physicians had been wrong from the beginning.The butler's shoulders slumped as he glanced toward his master."What do we do now?" His voice trembled. "I can't just stand by and watch Master die like this."The sadness in his eyes was impossible to conceal. He had been only slightly older than Gerald when he was first brought into the Cromwell family.Back then, Gerald had been young, energetic, and full of ambition. Despite their difference in status, Gerald had never treated him like the so
C288: Can You Save Him?
After Raymond Aldridge finished writing the prescription for Gerald Cromwell, he left the villa with Tristan Harrington.Although the butler still had his doubts about Raymond's treatment, he had no choice but to follow the physician's instructions for the time being. He took the prescription and handed it to one of the servants."Hey, you two!" he called out to a pair of servants rushing past. "Take this to the apothecary immediately. Make sure they follow the prescription exactly. Do not allow them to alter anything on the note.""Yes, Butler." The two servants respectfully accepted the prescription before hurrying away.The butler watched them disappear down the corridor before turning his attention back toward Gerald's room.Raymond had confidently claimed that Gerald would regain consciousness after the acupuncture treatment. He had even insisted that they wait twenty-four hours, or perhaps several days, for the effects to take place.Yet something about the entire situation con
