An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

The ashen-faced Huxley was dragged away. With his crimes exposed, his fate was sealed. His entire family would be implicated, and their assets would be seized.

Those guilty would be punished, and even those who had merely benefited from his corruption would be held accountable. To put it bluntly, Huxley’s entire family was about to be annihilated.

Austin issued his next order once the bloodstains were cleaned up. “Axel, it’s time to bring in the mastermind.”

With Huxley dealt with, the next step was to confront Warrick.
