220: Mind
Emily laughed."Exactly. No one in their right mind would want to be associated with a family like this."She slowly looked at each member of the Maxwell family one by one."So enjoy your stay here."A smug smile remained on her face."Oh, and don't worry. I've already made sure all the paperwork was handled properly."She tapped the divorce file."The signatures are all there, and according to the agreement, I'm entitled to compensation."Her smile widened."In fact, I've already received the money. It's safely sitting in my account right now."She shrugged casually."So now we're even."The Maxwell family stared at her in complete shock.Their faces twisted with disbelief and anger.They couldn't believe someone could be this shameless.Mrs. Maxwell was the first to explode."You!"She pointed at Emily furiously."How can you do something so disgusting?"Her voice trembled with rage."I treated you like my own daughter! I welcomed you into our family, and this is how you repay us?"
219: Reason
Emily smiled before speaking."The reason I'm getting out is actually very simple."She folded her arms and looked at the Maxwell family through the prison bars."I'm getting out because I'm not part of this crazy family, and I have nothing to do with any of you. So why should I be punished alongside you?"The moment those words left her mouth, the Maxwell family froze.They stared at her in complete disbelief.For a second, nobody could even process what they had just heard."What?" Mr. Maxwell asked.His eyes widened as he stepped forward."What do you mean by that? What are you even talking about?"Mrs. Maxwell was equally shocked."What do you mean you're not related to us?" she demanded."How can you possibly say something like that?"Oliver immediately jumped to his feet.His face twisted with anger."Have you lost your mind?" he snapped."You're married to me! You're literally my wife, so what nonsense are you talking about right now?"However, Emily simply smiled."Oh? Is that
218: Arrest
Another officer laughed and said, "It's like they still don't understand their situation. It's like they don't know that the Maxwell family has completely fallen."Another nodded."Exactly. Don't you know that all your business partners have officially cut ties with you? Your company has completely collapsed because nobody wants to be associated with people like you anymore."A third officer smirked."Your reputation is finished. So stop acting all high and mighty."The officers burst into laughter once again.The words hit Mrs. Maxwell like a truck.She stood frozen for a moment before her legs gave out beneath her.Thud.She fell to her knees in complete shock.Her eyes widened as she stared blankly at the ground.She couldn't believe it.Everything had happened so quickly.Just a day ago, they were one of the most respected families in the city. People lined up to gain their favor, and countless businesses wanted to work with them.Now everything was gone.Their power.Their status
217: Take down
Ella frowned and asked, "And what do you mean by that?"Mr. Walter sighed before replying."I mean exactly what I said. The Maxwell family may be gone, but Dylan has also become a threat to us. He's someone we need to keep an eye on from now on."Mrs. Walter simply smiled."No matter what he does, he'll never be a real threat to us," she said confidently. "He isn't even that powerful yet. Certainly not as powerful as our family. I don't think we should worry about him too much."A cold look appeared in her eyes."In fact, I think there's a very simple solution."She smiled as she folded her arms."Before he causes any more trouble for us, we should eliminate him as soon as possible."Mr. Walter nodded immediately."You're right."His expression hardened."That's the safest option. If we want to avoid problems in the future, we need to get rid of him now, before he grows any stronger."Ella's eyes lit up."That's a good idea, Dad."A smile spread across her face."So what's the plan?

216: Threat
And even if Lea told him not to bother, Dylan knew he wouldn't be able to control himself.He was already angry with Lea, and he was going to make sure they all paid for what they had done to him.---That night, after everyone had retired to their rooms, Dylan headed back to his own.As soon as he entered, he walked over to his bed and picked up a file he had secretly brought back with him.Dylan calmly opened it and flipped through the pages with a smile on his face. His eyes moved across the contents as he read through every detail carefully.He was prepared.This was the very file the Maxwell family had come to the event to obtain.It contained crucial information on how to run for a position in the next election—an exclusive and highly valuable document that could potentially help someone compete against Mr. Walter in the upcoming race.It was a secret weapon the Maxwell family had planned to steal and take for themselves.But Dylan had been one step ahead.After learning about i
215: Chats
They continued their meal, and after they were done, everyone headed back to the mansion where they were staying.As the night grew deeper, the others gradually retired to their rooms to get some rest after the long day.However, Dylan and Lea remained awake.The two of them stood quietly on the balcony, gazing up at the night sky. A cool breeze drifted through the air, carrying with it a rare sense of peace after everything that had happened.For a while, neither of them spoke.The silence wasn't uncomfortable. It was calm.Eventually, Dylan broke it."So you're from that family?" he asked.His voice was gentle, lacking any hint of judgment.He had overheard Ella's words earlier and had already pieced together part of the truth.Lea hesitated for a moment before letting out a small smile."Yes."She nodded lightly."Since you've already heard it, I guess there's nothing I can do about it now."The two fell silent once again.Dylan leaned against the balcony railing before speaking."
