?Chapter 560:


    A cold, dangerous edge settled over Dn as he answered, “Take them out.”


    Christina quickly interjected, “Wait, can we hold off for now?” Letting Katie meet her demise in such a simple way felt too kind. She wanted the Dawson family to fall from their position at the top, forced to watch as their world crumbled.


    But Dn misunderstood her plea. He clenched his hand, feeling a pang of bitterness. It seemed Brendon still held an unshakable ce in her heart. Was there any way to erase Brendon from her thoughtspletely?


    Dn kept his gaze on Christina, his lips slightly moving. He longed to ask what she saw in that jerk Brendon. After Brendon’s sister staged a car “ident” to try to kill her, she still defended his sister for his sake.


    Elliott experienced a simr twinge of difort. Christina had divorced Brendon and had no ties to the Dawson family, yet she still defended Brendon’s sister. He realized then that Brendon still held a special ce in her heart. Up until now, Elliott had always thought Dn was his main rival in love. Only now did he realize Brendon was the real threat. He could hardly believe that both he and Dn, the most sought-after men in Lorbridge, had lost to someone like Brendon.


    “Fine. I’ll go along with it,” Dn finally agreed to Christina’s request.


    Christina’s attention shifted to Elliott. Since this situation involved Eloise as well, Elliott’s agreement was crucial. Letting Katie sabotage everything she had just nned wasn’t an option. Now wasn’t the time to deal with Katie just yet.


    Elliott let out a resigned sigh. “Since you don’t want to press the issue, I’ll let it slide.”


    Privately, Elliott mulled over ways to eliminate Brendon without a trace. But as soon as the thought emerged, he quickly dismissed it. He knew better than to challenge a first love’s legacy. Someone gone but never forgotten was an unbeatable force.


    “Thank you,” Christina said quietly.


    A thorough checkup was performed for Christina and Eloise, and the doctors confirmed that neither of them, nor Chole, had suffered anything serious—just a few minor scrapes. Once their injuries were treated at the hospital, they all headed back to Bayview Estates.


    Meanwhile, the Dawson Group’s stock price kept climbing, seemingly signaling a bright and promising future.

    Inside the Dawson family estate, Katie huddled in her bedroom, her voice low as she whispered into the phone, “So, how did things go?”


    On the other end, a man replied, “The driver died on the spot, and the upants of that car got out alive, just a few scrapes, nothing serious.”


    “What?” Katie nearly yelled, her face twisting with rage, before she focused on the key point in his words. “You said ‘upants.’ Who else made it out besides Christina?”


    “There are three people in total,” he answered. “Eloise Hubbard was there too. If word gets out, we could be in serious trouble.”


    Katie quickly regained herposure. “There’s no proof linking this to us. Don’t lose your nerve or do anything stupid. Disappear for now. Get out of town. I’ll make sure you get the rest of your payment.” With that, she ended the call, anger ring as she hurled her phone across the room. The crash echoed off the walls.


    “Christina, you’ve got a guardian angel, haven’t you? Not even this could get rid of you!” she hissed through clenched teeth, her re fixed on the sprawling city beyond the window.


    Getting the Hubbard family tangled up in this mess changed everything. Katie couldn’t afford to make another reckless move, not with the exposure of her…
