Inside the Rolls-Royce, silence reigned for a while as the car smoothly glided through the city streets, its windows tinted like secrets.
Lan Brown sat upright beside Cora, his voice calm but filled with quiet thunder. "Lady Cora," he said, turning slightly toward her, "we've removed James Lorenzo's name from the guest list for the Victor family's Most Uprising Businessman of the Year ceremony. As of this moment, he no longer exists in that space."
At that moment he paused, then added coldly, "Your father has also ordered us to begin blacklisting him. Every contract our networks gave him every investment we funneled through his pathetic name will be revoked. Even if we incur losses in billions… it won't affect the Freeman family."
Lan's voice darkened further.
"Your father said it's time to destroy him, not the old way. Not in silence. But publicly… rightfully."
Still Cora remained quiet.
