immediately.”

“Hello, Harold,” Matias’ voice cthrough, laced with unmistakable concern.

As soon as Harold's voice reached his ears, Matias was met with a sharp rebuke. Harold's approach was direct

and unsparing, clearly showing no concern for Matias’ feelings.

This was the first tsince Matias had becthe head of the Adams family that he had been subjected to

such direct and biting criticism, and deep down, he knew the reprimand was warranted—he had no rebuttal.

With his face warming with embarrassment, Matias responded, “Harold, you are correct. The fault lies with

Verena and Ryan. | will handle the situation. You have my word that this will not happen again.”

Harold's voice becmore measured as he replied, “Matias, don’t let your work overshadow the need to guide

your children properly. Their actions—interfering in someone else’s marriage—are bringing shupon us all. I'll

leave it at that. From now on, there will be no more business dealings between our families. Just make sure your

son and niece keep their distance from Lucas and Belinda!”

Matias’ face transformed with alarm as panic sparked in his eyes. Hastily, he replied, “Harold, about this issue...”

But Harold cut him off coldly, saying, “If this happens again, expect no mercy from me!”

With those words, Harold abruptly ended the call.

“Hello...”

“Hello? Harold!” Matias stared in disbelief at the phone, now displaying a disconnected call. His face was a

“What's wrong, dear?” Ainslie inquired with evident worry.

In a sudden outburst of anger, Matias shoved Ainslie’s hand aside and turned his fierce gaze toward Ryan, his

fury unleashed. “Kneel!” he commanded sternly.

Ryan hit the floor with a loud thud, kneeling instantly.

“Are you satisfied now? Not only have we lost the East District project, but Harold has also severed all business

ties with our family!” Matias’ voice rose as he spoke, veins bulging on his forehead, his rage barely restrained.

Ryan and Verena, standing a short distance away, turned pale when they heard that. The severity of the

situation had escalated beyond their expectations.

Silence hung in the air for a moment before Verena knelt beside Ryan.

“Stand up!” Matias’ voice rang out sharply.

Verena, head bowed, remained on her knees. “This is my fault, Uncle Matias. | apologize.”
