“This time, I never planned to show the Hartwell family any respect. Didn’t you have a ton of contraband on your shipment headed overseas, Mr. Nathaniel? That shipment won’t make it out. Customs overseas hav already started investigating, and it won’t be long before the whole thing leads right back to you. Orice you lose your export route, I’d love to see what you plan to do.”

The overseas market had always been Nathaniel’s biggest moneymaker.

And now, Halbert had completely shut it down.

Nathaniel’s face turned grim. “Halbert! Just because the Sue family is powerful, you think you can do whatever you want? What, you think we won’t fight back when you starve us out? I’m not some nobody in Westbrook!”

“You’re out here kidnapping someone from the Sue family and still think I should show mercy?” Halbert sneered. “Let me make this clear: if you don’t give us a proper explanation for this, the Hartwell family won’t be doing business with anyone. The Sue family isn’t only dominant overseas. Tristan’s already informed every major partner in Westbrook–if anyone continues doing business with the Hartwells, they can forget working with us.”

Halbert’s voice was cold. “Tell me, Mr. Nathaniel–do you really think they’ll choose you over us?”

Nathaniel’s expression grew darker.

Even a fool knew–if you wanted to make money, you had to side with the Sue family.

His fear contorted his face.

Halbert lifted his hand, and the bodyguards behind him surged forward.

The moment Nathaniel saw them, he couldn’t say a single word.

“Smash everything.”

At Halbert’s command, the guards stormed into the house and, without hesitation, started swinging electric batons at anything in sight.

Nathaniel rushed forward to stop them-

Only for Halbert to casually say, “You should be pretty familiar with this kind of tactic, right? Isn’t this how the Hartwell family’s been handling disobedient businesses for years?”

“You-!”

As furious as Nathaniel was, he knew the Sue family had every reason to retaliate.

They’d kidnapped Eliza!

That stupid Naomi–how could she do something that insane?

“Is Matteo here yet?”

Nathaniel was beginning to panic.

Only Matteo could stabilize the situation now.

Everyone knew Matteo wasn’t afraid of anything.

Just as Nathaniel grew desperate, Matteo finally arrived at the door.

Seeing the Sue family tearing up the place, Matteo said, “Don’t you think this is going a bit too far, Mr. Sue?”

He hadn’t come alone.

“Can’t handle the heat yourself, so you called your son?” Halbert scoffed. “Doesn’t matter who shows up. You laid hands on my sister–no one walks away from that without bleeding for it.”

“Don’t forget, Mr. Sue, you’re still in Westbrook. Tristan doesn’t run this place.”

Then Matteo added, coldly, “And don’t forget–your sister is still here in Westbrook. You might want to think carefully. Yes, we’re in the wrong this time. That shipment? Consider it a gift to the Sue family as an apology. Whatever Ms. Sue wants as compensation–we’ll agree to it.”

He’d already lowered himself enough. If Halbert kept pushing, he’d be asking for a fight.

Sure enough, Halbert waved his men down..

“Fine. I’ll give Mr. Matteo some face. We’ll be waiting to see how the Hartwell family handles this. But if we’re not satisfied with your answer–don’t expect anything else to be on the table.”

With that, Halbert turned and left with his people.

Outside, at the gate of the Hartwell estate, Halbert tapped on a car window. “How was my acting?”

“Flawless,” Eliza replied, motioning for the driver to unlock the door.

Halbert got in.
