Chapter 364:
Thiago, unconcerned about encountering Jordy, was more focused on Sylvie. He said, “Sylvie has been conspiring with Rosie against Brenna. Recently, I had Joe deal with the Higgins family. Their stocks have plummeted for a month straight, wiping seventy billion from their value and pushing them into a financial crisis. Now, even banks refuse to give them loans p>
Brenna smiled slightly, gratified by Thiago’s efforts. “Thank you, this meal is on me p>
Thiago’s expression hardened. “Sylvie deserved what she got. She used her money to target others, so it’s only fair she experiences what it’s like to be poor. I’ve taken similar actions against the Morrison family. Like the Higgins, their company’s market value has dropped by sixty billion and they’re desperate for loans. But Vivian isn’t like Sylvie; she’s just a spoiled daughter who cares only about her own pleasures. She hasn’t done anything about her family’s situation p>
Ellie lifted her glass to clink it against theirs, her thoughts turning to the likely plans of the Higgins and Morrison families. “If they want any chance at survival, their only move is to start selling off shares p>
Thiago nodded in agreement, relaxed. “Exactly. And their competitors are already snapping up those shares p>
Ellie said plainly, “They had it coming p>
Brenna raised her glass to Thiago. “Thank you again p>
In Norview, Ethan and Neville, flanked by a dozen bodyguards, had just left the Ward family estate. They hadn’t gotten far when several cars sped up beside them, their occupants opening fire.
“Speed up!” Ethan said, turning to see the attackers in the trailing cars aggressively firing at his vehicle.
The attack was intense, clearly aiming to kill him.
Neville reached under his seat for a duffel bag, pulled out two guns, loaded them, and handed one to Ethan, keeping one for himself. Ethan saw hand grenades inside the bag. He grabbed one, yanked the pin, rolled down his window, and tossed it out after counting to two.
His timing was perfect; the grenade exploded just as the nearby car closed in.

The blast overturned that car, causing the two trailing vehicles to collide and flip over due to their high speed.
With a grim expression, Ethan told the driver to accelerate and shake off the remaining pursuers.
He and Neville efficiently fired back from their windows until the attackers were out of sight, then settled back into their seats.
Neville looked concerned. “It seems they have no intention of returning our shipment, but it’s essential for our automotive manufacturing p>
He paused, then cautiously asked Ethan, “Do you think we should reach out to the Hewitt family for help p>
“There is no need for that,” Ethan said coldly, his expression hardening like ice. “I can handle a gang on my own. Besides, the Hewitt family can’t be trusted. If we ask for their help, we’ll owe them more than we can afford p>
The car raced down the highway as bullets hammered against the bulletproof glass, leaving spiderweb-like cracks. Neville’s instincts kicked in, and he shoved Ethan down.
