Harvey sneered. "I know you're angry and confused right now, but don't you think you've deserved this for a long time? You've been sitting on the throne of the Weller family for years, refusing to pass it down to me." Kane's heart burned with fury as he roared, "You ungrateful bastard! Just because you want the title of family head, you think you can do this? Betray your own blood?" Harvey's face twisted into a snarl, his teeth clenched. "Why can't I? Don't you get it, Dad? I've been waiting for this for years. I've had enough of waiting." He added, "If you were healthy and strong, I wouldn't even think about it. But you're not. You're barely hanging on, yet you refuse to pass the title to me. Don't you know how torturous that's been for me?" Kane could not believe his own son wanted him dead. The ridiculousness of it all stung, especially after all the work he had put in. Despite struggling with his illness, he was still trying to pave the path for Harvey for his future. A w

"Is… is he dead?" Serena asked, trembling as she pushed away from Harvey. Harvey's face showed a mix of doubt and hesitation as he cautiously approached. It was not until he placed his hand near Kane's nose and confirmed there was no breath that relief washed over his face. "He's dead. He's finally dead!" Harvey chuckled, his voice manic with joy. "This is it! The Weller family is mine now!" Laughing wildly, he became almost unhinged, waving his arms in celebration in front of Kane's lifeless body. Serena was trembling with fear. "Harvey, his death will fall on us. If anyone finds out it was us, we won't escape punishment." Harvey sneered. "What are you worried about? I've already taken the risk with poison, so why should I be afraid of what comes after?" He reminded her, "You just need to keep quiet, especially when the elders ask. We'll both deny it, understand?" Serena's face turned pale with fear. "But if they really investigate, won't they find out?" Harvey cut her

Andrew asked, "Did the Weller family give any explanation for Kane's death?" Francesca smiled awkwardly and said, "Harvey told the media himself that his father died from overwork." Andrew snorted. "Overwork, huh? What a convenient excuse. I bet the real cause of Kane's death has something to do with him." Francesca stared at him, shocked. "No way. You don't actually think Harvey had anything to do with his father's death, do you?" Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Why is that so hard to believe?" Francesca shook her head. "It just doesn't seem likely. Harvey's still the son of the Weller family head. If his father's death were his doing, Harvey would be a monster." Andrew scoffed. "It's easy enough to figure out how Kane died. But since it's not my business, I'm not interested in looking into it. However, one thing is clear—once Kane is gone, the Weller family will fall into Harvey's hands." He continued, "So, Harvey's the biggest beneficiary of Kane's death. Some people will d

As Andrew left the hospital, he saw Christina and her family standing together. He approached and said casually, "Mrs. Stevens and Leroy are fine now, but it would be best for them to rest for a few more days." Before Christina could respond, Irene cut in, "Andrew, we're fine, and we're not falling for your tricks. We're not going to waste more money at your hospital." Still wrapped in bandages, Leroy added, "Yeah, Andrew, don't think I don't see through your game. You want us to stay longer so you can rack up more charges." Andrew's expression turned cold. "I tried to be polite, but if you don't want to listen, that's on you." He could not believe how ungrateful they were, especially after they nearly let Harvey kill them. His offer to help them heal had been turned into a money grab accusation. Irene smirked, "Go ahead and leave. By the way, our family's experts from the main branch of Stevens Corporation are already in Jayrodale. Pretty soon, the Stevens family will rise u

Two rows of bodyguards in black suits stood at the entrance, welcoming guests with an air of intimidation. As the trio got out of the car, they exchanged odd looks. "Is the Weller family hosting a funeral or a celebration?" Francesca asked, unable to hide a smirk. It was supposed to be Kane's funeral, but with all the fanfare, it felt closer to a celebratory party. Just then, Harvey appeared at the front gates, flanked by two older men who exuded a heavy, intimidating aura. Lauren stepped forward, offering her condolences. "Harvey, my deepest sympathies." Harvey, dressed in mourning attire, did not seem the least bit sad. In fact, he looked vibrant and full of life, almost as if he were attending a celebration instead. "Lauren, Fran, you made it!" He greeted them with a smile, but his grin instantly froze when his eyes landed on Andrew. "Andrew, I can't believe you actually showed up today, of all days. You've got guts!" Harvey sneered, his eyes flashing with cold fury.

Just then, more distinguished guests arrived at the Weller family estate. Harvey walked away with two of the family's elite guards. "Andrew, Harvey may be a jerk, but the Weller family elders aren't pushovers," Francesca warned. "You don't need to be so confrontational with them!" "Can't you see what Harvey's doing?" Andrew scoffed. "He's just flexing his new authority by parading around with the family's guards. If we back down now, he'll think he can get away with anything!" "Dr. Lloyd, Fran, let's go inside," Lauren suggested. "Whatever happens, Harvey won't cause trouble at his father's funeral with so many people watching." … The Weller residence's main hall was packed with Jayrodale's elite. Andrew casually glanced around and spotted his old rivals: Atlas, Finley, and Michael, who had also noticed him. While nobody started anything, the tension was evident in their expressions. "Mr. Lloyd, hello!" an enthusiastic voice called out. Andrew turned to see Silas, the

Harvey addressed the crowd with a smile, "The Weller family has another important announcement to make today." Though many already knew what this second announcement would be, someone still asked, "What might that be, Mr. Weller?" Harvey straightened his expensive suit, his smile growing brighter. "This other matter is a joyous occasion. I'll officially become the new head of the Weller family. All family affairs and authority will now be transferred to me." The crowd fell silent for a moment before scattered applause began, accompanied by various murmurs and discussions. "He's quite young to take over the Weller family. That's quite an achievement!" someone whispered. "He must be the youngest family head in Jayrodale. Let's hope he can handle such immense power." "Mr. Weller Senior just died, and he's already announcing his rise to power. Harvey's clearly ruthless. We'd better be careful not to cross him in the future," another muttered. Harvey inwardly smirked at the co

Harvey's face darkened instantly, and he said, "Christina, I'll give you one more chance to reconsider your answer." He stared at the Stevens family group and threatened, "If I'm unsatisfied with it, the Stevens family will have no reason to exist, so think carefully." "Harvey, no matter how much you threaten me, I will never agree to marry you," Christina replied, her fear replaced with defiance. Harvey exploded with rage. "Are you really not afraid to see the Stevens family destroyed by my hand?" Christina shot back angrily, "If you're using your position as the Weller family head to bully and destroy us, I'll fight you to my very last breath!" "Well said, Ms. Stevens! You've got spirit—you have my support!" Finley laughed. Many others nodded in approval, impressed by the Stevens Corporation's Ice Queen's courage in refusing to bow to Harvey's intimidation. Bolstered by the support, the Stevens family members straightened their backs. Leroy pointed at Harvey and decl

"I won't need to step in because you can handle this alone," one of the Weller family elders said calmly. "Don't worry," the other elder replied dismissively. "I am enough to deal with these upstarts alone." With swift movements, the two Bridgefields Stevens family masters leaped over the crowd and landed on the Weller family's stage. The Weller family, displaying their confidence, left only one elder to face them. "How arrogant of the Weller family to fight two masters alone. Aren't they afraid of losing?" someone in the crowd muttered. "Those Bridgefields Stevens martial artists look pretty strong!" another added. Christina's palms were sweating with anxiety. Her fate now rested on these two masters from the main family. "Don't worry, Christie. Our people will knock the Weller family down a peg," Irene said confidently. Leroy added excitedly, "Christie, with the main family's masters backing us, we can finally hold our heads high. The Weller family is nothing now!"

A deathly silence fell over the crowd. No one had expected the Weller family's power to be so overwhelming, nor for two masters from the Stevens family to fall so easily. "How is this possible? They were supposed to be unbeatable!" Irene exclaimed in disbelief. Leroy nearly stumbled, his face pale with panic. "Our masters lost? This can't be happening!" Christina's face turned ashen white. With the main family's fighters defeated, Harvey truly had them cornered. In her daze, she spotted Andrew in the crowd, remembering his earlier warning about the masters of Bridgefields' Stevens family being no match for the Weller family. "So much for the mighty Bridgefields Stevens family," Harvey gloated as he returned to the stage, contempt written across his face. Few in the crowd dared to meet his gaze, which only fueled his satisfaction. However, Harvey noticed one person still meeting his eyes with casual indifference, seemingly unimpressed by the Weller family's victory. "
