Chapter 890

Chapter 893:
Strangely enough, the small meeting room was eerily silent, as if even the sounds of breathing had vanished.
Candice swiftly turned off the screen, casting the room into a profound silence. A faint yellow glow was all that remained.
Milton’s grip on Candice’s wrist tightened, his lips quivering with uncontainable wrath. A surge of remorse for Candice blended with his anger.
“Damn it! It was really Bart!” This revelation solved the puzzle of his uninvited presence at the ambassador’s wife’s birthday party. Despite Milton’s surveillance on Bart, his cunning had always left them empty-handed. Little did he expect that it was Bart who had conspired with the masked man to harm Candice and frame Erica.
Bettina’s lips blanched with rage. She now comprehended Bart’s sudden urge to whisk her away into the secluded dressing room that night, where he had aggressively bullied her and ripped her attire. His intent must have been to remove her from the banquet, thereby creating an opportunity to harm Candice. At this moment, Bettina desired nothing more than to rip Bart to shreds.
She blamed herself for dragging the innocent Candice into this mess and regretted ever pursuing Bart.
Observing Bettina’s agitation, Raul swiftly intervened to prevent any rash actions. He subtly signaled her to maintain her composure, indicating that the situation would be handled.
Several directors cast covert glances at Bart, their shock evident. Their previous perception of Bart was shattered. They had always perceived him as a gentle, reserved, and courteous man. His other sinister side came as a revelation.
In particular, Anson and Boden appeared uncomfortable. They had, after all, endorsed Bart for the company’s vice presidency. If Bart had any involvement in the Fake Horse Bidding scandal and the incident involving Candice, they would be implicated.
Milton couldn’t contain himself any longer. He abruptly lunged toward Bart, prepared to throw a punch. However, Erica swiftly stood up and immediately intervened, halting him in his tracks.

“Let’s not act rashly. Please compose yourself,” Erica advised sternly. This was a matter pertaining to the Lopez family, so no hasty moves were permitted.
Bristling with anger, Milton huffed, “Bart, you son of a bitch! How dare you harm Candice! Now that everyone is here, I hereby remove you from your vice-presidential position. You are no longer a part of the Lopez family.”
As soon as Milton finished speaking, the meeting room door burst open.
“Don’t you dare!” A loud female voice resounded.
All eyes turned toward the sound.
The woman adorned herself in an elegant black evening gown, exuding an air of nobility and authority. The large, shimmering pearl necklace around her neck, along with her blood-red lips, vibrant red nails, and piercing eagle-like eyes, instilled a sense of fear in those who beheld her.
All the directors rose to greet her reverently.
Racking her brains, Candice identified the intimidating woman. It was Annot, the vice chairperson of the Royal Garden Corporation, Arlo’s elder sister, and Milton’s aunt.
