Victor glanced up, catching Yvette's gaze fixed sharply on him. Her piercing look made him feel exposed as if she could see right through his intention to kill Winona from the start.

Victor gave Yvette an awkward smile, then uncomfortably looked away.

Yvette squeezed her fingers, pulled her gaze back, then turned to Zachary and said, "Let's go."

Zachary nodded, sparing a final glance at Winona's lifeless body his expression heavy with resignation. Death had finally claimed her, bringing an end to her troubled path. Hopefully, in the next life, she could find a better way.

Seeing the two about to leave, Victor quickly instructed his men to take care of the scene and then jogged to catch up, calling out, "Mr. Chambers, please wait."

Zachary and Yvette paused, turning back as Victor adjusted his tie and addressed Zachary with a composed but humble tone.

"Mr. Chambers, I assure you that the Carter family had no part in today's events. Please don't misunderstand our intentions. Claude, my grandfather, has decided to withdraw from Seacrity and focus on expanding in Mysonna. Soon, only the Chambers and Lewis families will remain here!"

Zachary's surprise was evident. The Carters, entrenched in Seacrity for generations, were suddenly abandoning the city? Reflecting on the recent sell-off of their stocks, he realized it hadn't been mere market strategy-this was a full retreat. It was all happening rather abruptly.

Victor lowered his gaze, concealing the complexity of the decision. Leaving Seacrity was a monumental move for the Carter family, uprooting a legacy built over centuries. But they'd run out of options.

His grandfather had admitted that, although he hadn't directly involved himself in the events that led to Yvette's mother's- downfall, he had quietly encouraged them.

Initially, when Yvette returned to the city, she seemed like a harmless young woman from the countryside, unworthy of

attention.

But things had quickly spiraled beyond control. Yvette not only garnered the interest of the elite from Betrico but also became a renowned artist and an Interpol Officer.

Her involvement, no doubt, had turned the tide in the Chambers family's favor during their clash with the Smiths.
