Chapter 541: Something Seems Overlooked

Grace not only refused to let go, but she tightened her grip even more. Just a moment ago, she had been thinking about inviting Jared to her home, hoping to collaborate with the Farrell family following her father's takeover of the Lyon family. But in the next moment, her father was arrested, the Hancock family was investigated, and her own family was bankrupt? She couldn't accept this blow, she just couldn't!

Unable to get her way with Jared and Tina, she directed all her resentment towards Stephanie. Just as Stephanie was about to be strangled to death, agents from the Narcotics Bureau finally arrived and subdued Grace. Though Stephanie was saved, her face was irreparably damaged. The porcelain doll bearing Old Kris's marks caused a severe infection through her wounds, and there was no saving it.

"Grace was arrested for assault with intent to injure, and Stephanie's disfigurement has left her devastated. Megan has divorced Warren and taken the children abroad. Leah has absconded with all of Oliver Lyon's money, taking her children away from Clearwater. The others are all serving time in prison," Miss Reed concluded. "There's nothing else."

Courtney relayed the downfall of both the Lyon and Hancock families to Tina. Such an outcome had been expected, hardly a surprise. However, Grace's meltdown was somewhat unexpected to Tina. "I understand," Tina said as she placed the translated contract into her bag and put on a cap before getting into her car, "Tell Uncle to wait here for me, I'll be back soon."

Courtney nodded and watched as Tina drove away, already planning how to explain the situation to Jared. Miss Reed had an appointment!

Tina drove to the front of a restaurant, stepping out with her bag. Inside, the restaurant was reserved for two familiar faces: Janson Woodham, head of the Woodham family, and Ethan Ward, head of the Ward family. "Miss," Janson stood up first, his eyes slightly moist. Ethan Ward, on the other hand, was composed; after all, Tina was his mentor, though he had never expected that his mentor would turn out to be the daughter of the boss he had been searching for so long. Tina nodded, signaling for them to sit. "Why didn't you tell me the truth from the beginning?" she asked directly.

Janson and Ethan exchanged a look. Janson sighed, "Miss, to be honest, we didn't know you were the boss's daughter, nor that the boss's daughter was named Tina. When I met you in Ensford, you seemed familiar, but I had no idea... Had I known, I would have protected you right away."

He paused, realizing that perhaps Tina did not need his protection.

was up to no good, and the bomb was not his doing. Nor could it have been the work of the Lyon family. As for who was actually behind it, that was still under investigation. "Let's not dwell on the past, I called you here today because there's another matter you need to take over," Tina said as she took out a file from her bag that she had already translated and handed it to Ethan Ward and Janson. The Woodham family had always relied on their own strength to maintain their rise and fall, never activating anything of Natalie's.
