The more they failed to uncover, the more it confirmed that the relationship between the three was far from simple.
Even Desmond couldn’t help but question whether his skills had deteriorated. Why else had he been letting Dylan down so much lately
Dylan glanced back at Desmond, making him lower his head even further, trembling in fear. Just when Desmond thought he was done for, Dylan said, “Begin the final phase.”
It took Desmond a moment to catch on, but then he responded, “Yes, sir!”
In truth, Dylan hadn’t been idle over the past few days. With Anne’s life on the line, he had quietly started carrying out Red Falcon’s demands, keeping everything under the radar. Now, all that was left was tying up the loose ends,
In a single night, the next successor of the Harlow Group had fallen from grace!
Scandal after scandal about him flooded the streets and headlines. Every corner of the city buzzed with rumors.
As Allen scanned the news, he let out a low whistle. “Gotta say, your ex–husband really knows how to play dirty.”
He had expected Dylan to discreetly buy out Julian’s supporters or something along those lines, but instead, without spending a penny, Dylan had managed to take him down–and fast.
Even Suzy was slightly taken aback. “With this news out, the Harlow family must be in chaos.”
“Definitely. Julian’s been riding high for years, but this time, he’s taken a serious fall. There’s no coming back from this,” Allen said while peeling an apple for Suzy. there’s only Claude left, who else could the Harlow family hand things over to?”
Now that
Suzy, however, wasn’t convinced. “Sometimes, biases never change, not even over a lifetime. What Dylan did is a double–edged sword.”
Allen handed her the peeled apple. “True. Given how the patriarch feels about Claude, he might even suspect that Claude orchestrated the whole thing. If that happens, forget about taking control–Claude might not live to see another day.
Suzy’s eyes narrowed. “We’re going to the Harlow family estate!”
Just as Suzy expected, the Harlow family had descended into utter chaos.

Matthew Harlow was so furious that he nearly had a blood pressure episode. Grabbing his cane, he struck Julian hard across the back. “You little brat! You’ve always put on this gentlemanly facade, but now I see it was all an act!”
Julian refused to admit to anything. “Dad, I didn’t do this. After all these years, don’t you know the kind of person I am? You’ve taught me from a young age to live honorably, and I’ve always followed your advice without fail.‘
“If it wasn’t you, then who? Are you saying someone’s framing you?”
Julian didn’t need to respond–Matthew’s gaze automatically shifted to Claude, who sat silently in his wheelchair, having not said a word since the chaos began. “Was this your doing again?
After so many years of facing his father’s accusations, Claude was used to it. His expression remained calm. “If you think it was, then sure,”
There was no point in explaining–it never made a difference, so why waste the effort?
“You-“Matthew stormed over to Claude, raising his hand, ready to strike him across the face. “You ruined your younger brother, and now you’re going after your older brother! Do you think that once they’re out of the way, the Harlow family will be yours?”
Just as the slap was about to land on Claude’s face, a hand shot out and grabbed Matthew’s wrist, stopping him mid–swing.
