Chapter 19
For the past few days, Gregory was anxious at the Xander residence in Norham.
He could neither eat nor sleep.
Every time he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with images of the Xander family falling into ruin.
He could no longer wear those expensive, branded suits and leather shoes.
He would have to work extra hard like blue-collar workers to earn a living.
Even if he were to diligently work overtime every day, he would only be able to earn an amount that he
could barely survive on.
His wife, Lucia, would even bargain with the stall owner over a few cents when she went to the
marketplace to buy groceries.
His dear daughter would no longer be the prideful princess that everyone doted on- she would become
someone ordinary trapped within a small space. If her ugly and old employer harassed her, she would
not even dare to utter a single word, even if she was Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
angry.
The son he never quite liked, who initially showed respect toward him despite his dislike for his father,
now pretended as if his family did not exist.
Every time those images appeared in his mind, he dared not go to sleep.
He was terrified. He was afraid that his imagination would turn real.
In that case, Gregory would become the joke of Norham.
However, there was nothing he missed out on, and there was nothing he could do to change the
situation.
A few days ago, his precious daughter had manipulated the son of the Yaeger family to go with her to
plead with Christopher to be merciful.
However, Gregory heard that, in the end, the incident brought disaster to the Yaeger family.
That sobered Gregory a little.
He then realized that he had been hoping for Christopher to be merciful.
However, there was no way he would change his mind.

Therefore, he could only seek another option to turn the tables.
It would be best if he managed to find someone to work with who was on par with Levine Group in
terms of power.
That was the only way Gregory would be able to resolve Xander Group’s crisis and make 1 evine
Group wary of them.
Gregory then looked into all of the leading companies in Norham, Baykeep, and Dellmoor. Levine
Group of Norham, Larson Corporation of Dellmoor, and the Coleman family of Baykeep were all
prominent figures in their respective places.
In the end, he decided to go for the Coleman family in Baykeep.
Although the Coleman family was not as good as the other two families, they were still a family
powerful enough.
As long as they agreed to lend him a helping hand…
Gregory once heard from Lucia that the daughter of the Coleman family liked his son. but his son kept
rejecting her.
As the rumor went, the Coleman family had an abundance of boys, so to them, the daughter was their
ultimate treasure. In fact, she held a high position in the family.
Gregory had already run out of options. He could only have his son. Daniel, try to win over the
Colemans’ daughter.
It was better for a woman to deal with something like that.
Hence, he instructed Lucia to think of a way to meet the Coleman family’s daughter, Marissa Coleman.
As for his son… Gregory would find an opportunity to make Daniel agree to it.
There was nothing Christopher did in recent days other than work.
Once Kiara, his mistress, had been dealt with, his life had become much simpler.
He was initially trapped between a rock and a hard place between Katherine and Kiara.
Although that woman, Katherine, technically did not restrict him at all she was more like a meek house
cat his grandparents and his mother would sometimes stand up for
her and attack him.
Naturally, he would assume that was Katherine’s way of pressuring him.
Therefore, he disliked that woman a lot..
He was certain that was her way of putting pressure on him.
If she had honestly told him about the things she was upset with him about, he would not have felt such
disdain.
However, that woman had been missing for days.
Xander Group was about to go to ruins, but she was still turning a blind eye to the
matter.
It seemed like his judgment had gone awry.
“Could it be that I’ve misunderstood her all this time?” he wondered.
When Christopher thought about the past two years of their marriage, he realized that she had never
requested for him to take special care of Xander Group.
Furthermore, it seemed like she never used the card he had given to her.
All along, she had always dressed plainly and rarely bought any luxury goods.
Even when she left, she only left with the things that originally belonged to her.
She had taken none of the expensive gifts she had been given.
At that very moment, Christopher realized he was getting more and more confused. about who she
really was.
Nevertheless, that was just a passing thought.
Most of the time, Christopher was extremely busy.
It was especially so after the Larson family’s daughter took over Larson Corporation. The pressure on
Levine Group had exponentially grown more intense.
To get back their domination over the market, Levine Group had started a battle of prices.
Even though they had won back some of the customers, the price they paid for that was a hefty one.
Their battle had affected the company’s performance for the month badly, as well as the jewelry
business’ production cost. Essentially, they had used up all of their other businesses’ profits..
However, fortunately, Levine Group’s shares and funds were now stabilized.
O
It was only then the few major investors finally ceased with their complaints. Otherwise, Christopher
would never be able to focus on his work.
Frosa’s global jewelry brand, LOVE, was going to enter the local market. The few local. jewelry
companies were all in fierce competition to become the distributor.
It was a rare but fantastic opportunity for Levine Group to return to its former glory.
Therefore, he was trying to come up with ways to get new talents, hoping to emerge as the victor in the
competition.
If that happened, that would be the first step for Levine Group to become internationally famous and
influential.
This time, he learned Kimberly’s ruthless ways – he learned how to use others and be courageous in
any action he took.
However, what he did not expect was that a complete rookie to the management world. had managed
to fool him.
In the end, he even had to pay a hefty price to prevent Levine Group from losing all of its dignity.
Other than the Larson family, another family that went against Levine Group fervently in Dellmoor was
the Sullivan family.
At the start, Levine Group was in control of the conflict.
That was why Levine Group had the courage to reject the compromise.
Christopher had no idea when and where the Sullivan family had become so powerful
and brave.
At that, Christopher raised his head slightly and rested his head on his palm before. muttering, “Could it
be that they found Inferno?”
“How else would they change so much suddenly?” he mused.
Upon reaching that thought, he quickly made a call and summoned Felix to his office.
“Check if Inferno has shown themselves and see if the Sullivan family has contacted. them.”
Soon, Felix exited the CEO’s office.
Everyone thought that Inferno was one person, but Christopher had recently found out that Inferno
actually consisted of two people. Most of the time, only one of the two would appear to deal with their
matters. The only time both would appear was when

they encountered something particularly tricky to deal with.

If Inferno were to join the Sullivan family, the Sullivan family would then have a high chance of winning.
If that was the case, it would be no surprise that the Sullivan family would suddenly be so confident in
themselves.
Knowing the enemy well was the sure way to victory.
The worst thing to happen in the corporate world was misinformation and delayed information.
Therefore, Christopher immediately called Earna.
“It’s likely that the Sullivan family has found Inferno. You have to put more effort into this case. Just go
ahead and arrange for more men if you need them. Regardless of everything, we have to win this
case.”
Christopher always had confidence in Earna.
Nevertheless, ever since the last competition, he also understood how there would always be people
better than him…
