Chapter 257

At that precise moment, the grandeur of Dupont's event erupted into full bloom.

The massive double doors swung open, and a wave of guests surged inside, voices rising with excitement as they scrambled to claim their seats.

The atmosphere crackled with electric anticipation.

Henry Dupont scanned the rapidly growing crowd, a smug, triumphant smile stretching across his face.

Now here he was, smiling like a loyal lapdog at Dupont's side.

If he could knife his own family in the back, who on earth would he hesitate to betray?
