Chapter 92 Know When to Stop

“Do you really think you can skip out on this even if you’re not invited?” Henry Interjected, sensing the tension rising between Ryan and Marlon,

Ryan was scolded so harshly that he couldn’t even lift his head. “How could I? It’s Grandpa’s birthday. I wouldn’t dare to skip it.”

Gwen stifled a laugh. Indeed, only Henry and Marlon could rein Ryan In like this.

Marlon’s mood improved considerably. “Make sure to help Gwen with her nanorobots project,” he reminded Leon.

“Grandpa, you don’t need to instruct him. He’ll do his best,” Gwen said, wrapping her arms around her two brothers with a bright smile.

Leon replied nonchalantly, “Of course.”

Marlon was at ease seeing Gwen so dedicated to her career.

“You need to rest more, Grandpa. We’ll hang up now,” Henry said before ending the video call,

In the living room, Anthony was sipping tea leisurely.

He was waiting for good news. He rubbed his thumb over the absent white emerald ring and felt irritated. Then he remembered he would soon have it and began humming a tune.

Meanwhile, the butler, who had been standing quietly for a while, noticed the time and wondered why the group he had sent hadn’t returned. Not wanting to disturb Anthony’s enjoyment, he quietly moved to the side and dialed the tattooed man’s number.

After several attempts, the call finally connected.

“Hello! What are you doing? Why can’t you handle such a small matter? Did you get that woman’s ring?

“This is the police station. We need you to come here, came the voice on the other end.

The butler dropped his phone in shock and rushed over to Anthony. “Mr. Charles, bad news! Those men were caught and taken to the police station! They want you to go there!”

Anthony not only smashed his teacup but also broke the teapot and kettle in frustration.

How could a cunning woman who relied on men manage to outplay him like this? No one had ever dared. to treat him with such disrespect!

“Gather everyone from the entertainment industry! I want this woman to be as reviled as a rat in Bellmont!”

At that moment, Jake happened to arrive at the Charles residence.

Today was Sienna’s prenatal check–up. After dropping her off, he planned to leave but noticed several familiar executives from the entertainment industry gathered in the backyard.

Approaching them, he overheard Anthony’s plans.

“I’ve provided enough material to fill several columns. Without my permission, none of you are allowed to withdraw! Anyone who backs down is opposing the Charles family of Bellmont! You all know the

consequences”

The executives nodded in agreement.

Jake quickly left the Charles residence and returned to his car before dialing Gwen’s number.

The first call ended abruptly.

He remained patient and dialed again, and this time it connected. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Is something wrong, Mr. Hall?” Gwen’s tone was casual.

“I’m warning you one last time; hurry and return the ring to Anthony.”

Her voice was relaxed. “It’s my business.”

“Why pick a fight with him?” His tone grew anxious. Why wouldn’t Gwen listen?

She scoffed. “Mr. Hall, we both know who started this mess.”

Wasn’t it Sienna who orchestrated the car accident first? She was just fighting back.

“He’s gathering all his resources in the entertainment industry to smear your name. It’s just a ring. Why make a big deal out of it?”

“Heh! Just a ring?” she echoed mockingly.

“Know when to stop, Gwen.‘ Jake’s voice turned serious. “It’s still the same deal as before. Il cover the costs.”

“Impossible.”

He furrowed his brows tighter. “You’re going against the whole world for something so trivial! It’s not worth it.”

“Jake, at your core, you and Anthony are the same. You both think I’m just a powerless woman, lucky to have snagged a position as the general manager of Savant Group.

“To you, my dignity is worthless, perhaps even less than the dogs you keep. You only care about achieving your own goals, regardless of how others fare.

“If I didn’t have that white emerald ring in my possession today, I wouldn’t even have a chance to discuss this with you, would I?” Gwen’s words left Jake speechless.

What she said struck a chord. If she were still his wife, he would have demanded that she apologize and return the white emerald ring without question.

Without that ring, he might have even chosen to remain indifferent due to his resentment toward her.
