Just like that, Landon became the undisputed laughingstock of the summit.
Thanks to the unexpected circus, his pride and reputation were left in tatters.
If Natalia didn't still possess some strategic value, he would have left her rotting on the pavement.
Landon helped smooth down her ruined hair, violently suppressing his own fury.
"I'll take you inside to get cleaned up."
Having just taken a completely senseless beating, Natalia was in a foul mood herself.
She shot Landon a venomous glare.
"Control your women. I never want to experience something like this again."
Landon was furious but couldn't vent it.
He hadn't anticipated Sarah crashing the event and blowing up his life.
As he walked past Andres, Landon let out a dark, menacing laugh.
"Brilliant move, Mr. White. Well played."
They had been friends for ten years; Landon was intimately familiar with Andres's tactics.
There was zero chance Andres hadn't orchestrated this entire disaster.
Facing Landon's bitter accusation, Andres smiled with pure arrogance.
"You threw the first punch; I simply returned the favor. It's only fair."
Landon gritted his teeth.
"I'll gladly accept this little return gift, Andres."
The amusement slowly drained from Andres's eyes.
"You've been sending me an endless stream of surprises lately. Don't worry—my return gifts aren't going to stop today."
Landon's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"I eagerly await your next move."
Andres's gaze was dripping with provocation.
"I promise I won't disappoint."
It was finally time to settle all the debts between them.
At that exact moment, in a cafe back in Aethelburg.
"Sienna actually called my parents, begging them to bring her back home so they could take care of her. They rejected her on the spot."
Thinking about the miserable state Sienna and Bowen were in, Naomi felt they absolutely deserved it.
Thankfully, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell hadn't been completely blinded by their past affection.
Once they saw Sienna's true colors, they cut ties immediately.
Maeve nodded.
"Without Sienna stirring up trouble, your life in the Lowell Family shouldn't be as difficult as before."
Naomi smiled, looking entirely unbothered.
"Whether I have parents or not doesn't really matter to me anymore."
"I've spent the past twenty-odd years getting used to being completely alone anyway."
"Enough about me. How is your investigation going? Do you need my help?"
Naomi knew Maeve was still relentlessly hunting down whoever had stolen Charlie Wilson's heart.
When that tragedy happened a year ago, Naomi hadn't been by Maeve's side, and it still filled her with deep guilt and regret.
