The vital exchange event for Savrow concluded in a bizarre yet tic scene.
The public airing of Theodore’s scandal-ridden political career elicited widespread societal outrage and had an extremely negative
impact. It even drew the President’s attention, who mandated a comprehensive probe into Theodore’s family and all officials
connected to him privately so as to stamp out corruption.
Everyone in the political arena felt threatened, except those who deeply despised Theodore.
The Iversons also suffered collateral damage. Not only was the lversons’ reputation tarnished and their dignity lost, but they also
cunder scrutiny from the authorities.
As Lance scrolled through Twitter on his way home, he saw people mocking the shoe he left at the venue with the caption,
“Everyone deserves a ‘Tycoon style’ shoe too!”
It infuriated him so much that he threw his phone out, shattering the windshield of his luxury car.
After a tumultuous return home, it was already late at night.
Unable to sleep, Lance called everyone to the living room for a meeting.
Charles, still groggy from alcohol, stumbled in cursing, only for his father to slap him awake.
Christopher sat calmly aside, elbow on the armrest, fist propping his head, watching the unfold with interest.

Lance roared furiously, almost smashing the expensive coffee table to pieces.
Having commanded respect for decades, how did Lance reach such a low point? He ruined his reputation and even lost his shoe. It
seemed only extrmeasures could soothe his fury.

“My current predicament is all thanks to Bella!”
With eyes red and breath heavy with rage, Charles blurted out, “If it wasn’t for that self-righteous quack of a doctor who operated

Christopher's lips parted slightly, his cool, pale voice breaking the silence as he fixed his gaze on Charles, his eyes glinting with a
chilling, bloodthirsty menace. “I dare you to say it again.”

But now, disabled and fallen from grace both in the company and with their father, Charles was all bark and no bite, not daring to
confront Christopher head-on anymore.
“Pfft! Charles, Dad said your brain is full of shit, and here you are, eager to prove him right.”
