Damien didn't speak either, simply offering her the silent warmth of his presence.
He knew that what she needed right now wasn't comfort, but peace.
It wasn't until the car pulled into the driveway of the Clarke family mansion that Grace spoke softly.
"Damien."
"Hmm?"
"I think you were too lenient with them."
Her voice was very quiet, but it held an unprecedented chill.
Damien's grip on her hand tightened, and a sharp, killing intent flashed through his deep eyes.
"I understand."
"Grace, close your eyes."
"The next part is going to be messy. Don't look, and don't listen. Leave it to me."
He had given the Hart family enough time to self-destruct.
But now, he was done waiting.
The scandal at the birthday party swept through Jarrow City's high society like a hurricane overnight.
Lilian was taken away by the police on the spot, facing multiple charges, and was immediately taken into custody.
Ethan's name, as a result, became even more infamous.
And the Hart Group faced its true and final ruin.
The very next morning, the banks called in all their loans, all their partners unilaterally terminated their contracts, and even raw material suppliers refused to ship them another truckload of goods.
The Hart Group's stock didn't just drop—it completely crashed, turning into a pile of worthless paper.
Mr. Hart's hair seemed to turn white overnight.
The Hart brothers went around begging everyone they knew for help, but they couldn't even get a moment of anyone's time.
Everyone knew this was Damien's doing.
Anyone who got involved with the Harts would go down with them.
The Hart family's world had completely collapsed.
Damien didn't tell Grace any of this.
