Olivia, who had been tangled up fighting with Lucas, was grabbed by the neck and hauled upright by Thomas.
He shouted, “Do you know how important that patent is to us? You’ve ruined our rk family!”
Olivia struggled, grabbing his arm, “Let go of me.”
Lucas, with a flushed face, stood coldly aside, showing no intention of helping her.
‘What is all this?‘ Instead, the director was quite anxious.
“Stop fighting! All of you, stop! Killing will send you to jail!” Seeing the man who suddenly appeared was about to choke the crazy woman until her eyes rolled back, the director urgently snatched the stage manager’s megaphone and bellowed, his voice almost echoing.
Natasha and Sadie, who had already moved far from the battlefield, silently covered their ears.
The director, with a weathered face, had a meltdown. ‘Is this ce rented for us, or for them?‘
“Don’t just stand there! Go break up the fight!” he stomped his foot while directing the staff.
If someone really died today, the whole crew would be called in for questioning by the police.
He would be so done.
Several stronger photographers frantically rushed to pull them apart. In the process, some were inevitably punched by an enraged Thomas, or scratched by Olivia’s iling nails. Others were tripped by Lucas, who was inexplicably tangled with Olivia as she held onto his clothes and refused to let go.
The entire scene devolved into chaos.
Sadieughed gleefully.

Finally, after Olivia was shoved out by Thomas, instinctively grabbing Lucas and causing them to knock over an expensive machine, the director went ballistic. “Ah, my new equipment! I’ll kill you all!”
“Calm down! Murder is illegal!”
Sadie couldn’t hold it in anymore, leaning on Natasha’s shoulder, shaking withughter and wiping tears.
Natasha also smiled slightly.
So, sometimes, those who fancy themselves upper ss aren’t necessarily more dignified than ordinary people.
For their own gain, they still abandoned their conscience, schemed at every turn, and fought in public.

Ten minutester, the three who had finally been pulled apart stood on opposite sides, surrounded by a group of watchful staff members preventing them from going crazy again.
The director, by himself, was crouching outside the crowd, holding his broken equipment and crying.
Thomas’s eyes were red, filled with pain, hatred, and regret. “The rk family treated you well, even giving you 300 thousand dors in the end. How could you so brazenly stab us in the back? Do you know Dad was so furious he’s been hospitalized?”
Thomas had found no leads at the yacht party. Andrew had to use hisst bit of influence to painstakingly find a buyer.
Although the buyer offered a very low price, it could still somewhat alleviate their urgent financial strain.
But unexpectedly, even this deal fell through.
At thest minute of signing the contract, news channels suddenly live–streamed a new productunch from the rk family’s former rivalpany. Their product

The buyer, who was almost conned, not only flipped the table on the spot but also furiously berated Andrew, widely exposing Andrew and Thomas’s breach of
contract.
The rk family had recently dered bankruptcy. This incident made creditors even more worried about repayment, and they rushed to demand payment.
Thomas had imagined many predicaments, but he never thought the deepest stab to the rk family woulde from Olivia.
The technology was well–protected, but Olivia was a rk family member. Andrew and Thomas had always shown great affection for her, even prioritizing her over their biological daughter Natasha. This led the R&D team to have no guard against Olivia.
Using the opportunity to intern at thepany, she easily colluded with the rival
Thomas wished he could strangle her
That was his painstaking effort of many years, thest resort to save the rk family from their debt crisis.
She actually sold it to his enemy at a low price.
Fear still lingered on Olivia’s face, but her words were mercilessly sarcastic, “Why can’t I? What does the rk family’s decline have to do with me? Haven’t you already taken back all the shares and assets you gave me? How did you treat me when I got out of prison? Indifference, neglect, suppression… Were you fair to me with any of it?”
She clutched her neck and scoffed. “Thomas, you brought this upon yourselves.”
“Ungrateful wretch! Our family shouldn’t have adopted you in the first ce!” Every word Thomas spoke seemed to be squeezed through gritted teeth, filled with deep hatred.
She clearly knew their entire family was relying on that patent. She watched him shamelessly begging everyone, constantly hitting brick walls, yet she said nothing.

She even silently took money from the rk family in the end.

“When Andrew leveraged the good reputation of adopting me to attract resources and promoted everywhere using the name of having a talented dancer daughter, why didn’t you say I shouldn’t have been adopted? Let me tell you, I am now Mrs. Wright, so get lost if you don’t want trouble!”
Thomas could not answer.
However, as he looked at the wedding dress the crew had salvaged, dark shadows swirled in his eyes.
Did she think she could happily marry Lucas after destroying the rk family?
Never!
“Olivia, you will pay the price.” He gazed at her coldly, without a trace of sibling affection.
Olivia’s heart clenched for a moment, and then she raised her cynical face.
She said, “Before I pay the price, you should think about how to save yourself. Thomas, you’re no longer the noble heir anymore.”
Thomas took onest deep look at her, then turned to leave.
However, as he barely took a step, he met Natasha’s calm gaze.
He hade here after learning Olivia was present; he never expected to encounter Natasha.
Realizing she had just witnessed the most pathetic and miserable moment of his life, Thomas felt a moment of shame,
Natasha always looked at him with trust and admiration when she was a child,
How ironic. They chose Olivia and ruthlessly abandoned Natasha, but it hadn’t been long, and they were already suffering the consequences.
Every betrayal by Olivia against the rk family was like a boomerang.

involvement only amounted to suppressing the rk family’s business and
fueling certain developments. What truly led to their ruined reputation, bankruptcy, and debt was their own past.
Thomas pressed his lips tightly, then finally walked up to Natasha, enduring the surprised and gossiping gazes of the crew. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Natasha, we… moved.”
The vi had been mortgaged by the court. Now, the family of four lived in a small, rented apartment.
Natasha never got to spend a single day in the room Madeline had newly renovated for her.
He added, “We’ve moved your belongings to the new house. If you ever want toe home, the address is…”
“No need,” Natasha interrupted him.
She smiled, a genuine sense of peace and relief washing over her. “They’re just meaningless old things taking up space; burn them. I already have a new home now. I won’t go to your home.”
Thomas’s face lost all color.
He staggered back, scoffing, “Yes, that’s right, you already have a home.”
He had heard and seen with his own eyes how well Alexei treated her, caring for her thoughtfully and tenderly, with a kindness greater than thebined efforts of their entire family.
He cried andughed, his lonely figure stumbling toward the door.
They were the ones who lost their home.
They wronged her.
