Chapter 863

"Jareth?!"

As Evadne stared at Jareth's striking features, her charming eyes widened in surprise, sparkling like morning stars.

"Mr. Fairhaven?!" Aviana, standing beside her, was also stunned.

Ever since the unfortunate incident with Ms. Marilla Abernathy, Jareth had devoted himself to being by his beloved's side daily. He had little time for the business world or the social circuit. Apart from Barry's funeral, he'd never showed his face in public and had maintained an incredibly low profile.

This was only his second public appearance since then!

The few ringleaders of the S-Star Group, including Brook, who'd been plotting a coup, visibly paled at the arrival of the Fairhaven family's son. Some even stumbled back in fear.

No, not just the son; he was now the chairman!

"Aviana, Evadne."

Jareth's gaze slightly narrowed, his broad shoulders shrugged, and his black coat slid off to be caught by Dean behind him, "Thad sent me over, said there'd be quite the show at the S-Star Group today. I've always loved a good spectacle. And indeed, my buddy didn't lie."

Looking into his bright, unrestrained eyes, Evadne bit her quivering lips, her eyes reddening. She barely managed to hold back her tears.

How long had it been since she'd seen Jareth smile like that? It felt like ages.

The man who once commanded the entirety of Elmsworth with his unruly and defiant demeanor seemed to have returned after venturing through trials and tribulations.

"I assume everyone here knows who I am?"

Jareth's half-smirk took in everyone, his gaze finally resting coldly on Brook, "Though my grandpa is no longer with us, and the Fairhaven family has since ventured into legitimate business, the influence prevails."

He lowered his gaze, casually fiddling with the platinum wedding ring on his finger, "Leave here today, and not only will the S-Star Group no longer accept you, but the Fairhaven family won't either.

The world is a dangerous place, a storm of blood and violence. From here on out, you're on your own."

This was a blatant threat!
