Chapter 0040

Everyone felt a strong wind, accompanied by the sound of a roaring engine.

Soon, a camouflage–painted armed helicopter descended vertically from a distance, landing right in front of the Grand Dynasty Hotel.

It was Steve.

“Clear the way!”

Steve got out of the helicopter, his combat boots hitting the ground firmly, imposingly.

Having descended from the sky, he saw the densely packed crowd and everything outside the hotel. However, he did not notice the golden plaque with Olivia’s name.

The crowd in front of the hotel’s main entrance parted like a tide, creating a three–meter–wide path as Steve, accompanied by four fully armed elite soldiers, strode into the banquet hall.

“Uncle Steve!” Herbert’s face lit up. He rushed forward and pulled Zoe along.

He was overjoyed!

Steve and Guinevere had been classmates, and they had even dated during their college days, though it eventually ended. Thanks to this relationship, Steve had always looked after the Dorvall family, and their rise to becoming one of Ol‘ Mare’s leading noble families was closely tied to him.

With Steve present, how much longer could Alexander keep up the charade?

This matter would finally end.

“This is my fiancee, Zoe Frankell,” Herbert said, enthusiastically introducing her.

Then, he pointed at Alexander, his expression turning menacing. “Uncle Steve, they caused trouble here. They injured my family’s bodyguards!”

“Yes, it’s him and her!” With Steve there, Zoe was emboldened, her expression turning fierce. “Uncle Steve, you mustn’t let them off lightly. At the very least, break their legs! Bring them in, use harsh interrogation methods, or…eliminate them straight away!”
