Trevor opened his eyes and looked at his wife, who was looking pale, staring into space. He then got up and headed inside, saying, "From now on, we'll live separately. The rooms are all ready. Since you prefer space, you can have the bigger room while I take the smaller one on the side."
"Reese will take care of you. Since I no longer have a place in your heart and the warmth is gone, let's go our separate ways."
Trevor returned to his room and sorted his belongings out, not waiting for Marissa to follow him.
Standing outside, Marissa chuckled foolishly as she continued to space out. "You think you can scare me like this? You underestimate me, Trevor. I won't let Raeleigh off that easily."
Looking at Marissa, who was too deep in her head, from his room, his heart still softened as he reminisced about their younger years.
But they would never leave this place if leaving would only bring others harm.
With Trevor's departure, the whole of Richards Group Manor had become a ghost town. Stuart had no choice but to move into the manor at Capital City with Lucy.
The Moore family became the target of public attention overnight, and Capital City landed itself in chaos for a while. All the media in Capital City were talking about the Moore family. The higher-ups wanted to suppress the matter, but it only grew more chaotic despite their efforts.
Some even paraded the streets and accused the government of being incompetent. They knew the Moore family was cultivating opium poppy on the border, yet they did nothing to stop them. The Moore family did the despicable despite their long-lived influence.
Flynt was even more daring and escaped from prison.
The series of catastrophes pushed the already crumbling Moore family into the teeth of the storm. Everyone in the family was in a state of crisis, and no one dared to spout nonsense. Whoever was taken into questioning would answer truthfully; no one covered up for the Moore family.
Flynt ran roughshod over the family in the last three years, especially his half-siblings.
Everyone was for themselves at this point, so they put all the blame on Flynt.
And to play safe, no one from the Moore family went to prison to collect Flynt's body.
The civil strife in the city went on for a month until Jacky took over and finally returned to peace.
On Jacky's first day in the office, he published a piece of news that had to do with a policy he issued.
And there were only two words on it, harmony!
After the release of the policy, it was as if Capital City was frozen in ice; everything was swept under the carpet, including the Moore family's catastrophe.
The media gave a high evaluation of Jacky's decision.
Jacky had no intention of wiping the Moore family out even after their series of catastrophes had died down. The Moore family was still who they were, just that their internal strife had begun. As there were too many descendants, everyone wanted more than their share of the inheritance. Under these circumstances, the family fell into utter chaos.
Meanwhile, the Doyle family actively bought over the Moore family's businesses.
Crevor was the current head of the Doyle family, and he made a huge splash in the limelight just as
Jacky took over the office. He had climbed the ranks of the major media and appeared boastfully in every corner of the city.
Whalen family.
"Jacky will come over for dinner later. Ask the servants to prepare more dishes."
Hannah was going to make some of Jacky's favorites, but she couldn't get anything out of him, nor could she tell.
Hannah only pretended she didn't like Jacky. She didn't mistreat Jacky, but she couldn't treat him too well either.
