Chapter 595: The Cycle of Cause and Effect

Claire's face went pale, and she started shaking all over.

She thought, 'Howard actually gives all the shares to that witch's kid! Fine, just fine.' "Howard, you're gonna regret this," Claire spat out, her teeth clenched.

"My biggest regret is marrying you, you poisonous woman!" Howard snapped back, slamming the table.

The tension was thick enough to cut with a knife.

Daniel just sat there, looking like a zombie.

Bradley kept his head down, staying silent.

Brandon raised an eyebrow and got up. "This is Mr. Douglas's family drama, not my scene. I'm out."

Brandon knew better than to stick around when things were about to blow up.

As Brandon left, Ethan also wanted to bail.

"Everyone else out. Ethan, you stay!" Howard barked.

Ethan sat back down, squeezing Jasmine's fingers to signal her to stay alert.

Jasmine had been sitting behind Ethan, almost hidden in the corner.

She quietly watched the chaos, seeing the once-powerful couple crumble because of Leah's death.

Daniel leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at Jasmine. He knew he messed up, but she would never forgive him.

"Ethan, you're the eldest heir, you should take care of your brother. He's still young and just joined the company; you need to help him a lot," Howard said, barely holding back his anger.

Ethan felt like laughing but kept quiet.

He thought, 'Some people are really shameless.'

"And what about Daniel?" Ethan asked, pushing the issue.

Howard snorted, clearly having no plans for Daniel.

"How sad. Daniel's put a lot of effort into the Douglas Group," Ethan said softly, each word like a knife to Daniel's heart.

In that moment, Daniel looked like the saddest person in the world.
