Chapter 1425: Breaking off the Engagement in Public

Denniston was greatly astonished. Although Alicia’s actions had deeply stimulated her and her brother’s nerves, she had no intention of dissolving the engagement.

This was because the marriage alliance was an extremely important strategy for their Family, and it was also a trump card in her hand that she would never give up until a critical moment.

However, she never expected that her brother would actually propose breaking off the engagement in public.

“Olivier, what are you doing? Get down here right now.”

Seeing this situation, Denniston could no longer sit still and rushed directly to the stage to pull Olivier down.

“Everyone, my brother has had too much to drink. What he’s saying doesn’t count…”

She was explaining to the crowd below, trying to salvage the broken engagement, when a loud slap landed directly on her face.

The slap was crisp and loud, echoing throughout the entire banquet hall, shocking everyone once again.

Everyone in the Federal Capital’s high society knew that Denniston was the queen of the Berwick Family, and usually no one dared to provoke her. Yet today, Olivier had hit his sister. Had he truly gone mad?

Denniston covered her swollen cheek, her face filled with disbelief. She had never imagined that her brother would dare to lay a hand on her.

“You dared to hit me?”

“What about hitting you? I’m hitting you! Why do you meddle in my affairs?”

Olivier, reeking of alcohol, raised a hand and pointed at Denniston’s nose, shouting, “I’ve been cuckolded, why won’t you let me break off the engagement? Because it’s not you who’s been cuckolded, right?

I am the Young Master of the Berwick Family, and I’m not looking for a woman. Why should I hang myself on one tree? Today I am breaking off the engagement, and no one can stop me.”

Then he shouted to the audience below, “I mean what I say. I will never marry this woman, Alicia, in this lifetime. She can like whoever she wants; it has nothing to do with me.”

“You’re crazy, you’re truly crazy! Get down here right now!”

Even though Denniston was deeply cunning, she was still trembling with rage at this moment.

“You tell me to get down and I get down? Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?”

Olivier swayed as he spoke, “Do you really think you’re so amazing? Look at what you’ve done these past few days, which one succeeded?

First, you had me find someone to incite Pike to snatch Ye Bufan’s woman, and then let the Lorraine Family suffer heavy losses with him. What was the result? Did it succeed? It didn’t at all; instead, it delivered 100 million usd in benefits to them!”

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately exploded like thunder,

causing an uproar throughout the entire banquet. No one expected this Young Master of the Berwick Family to reveal such explosive information.

It was well-known that even if such things happened, they should not be brought up in public. Yet now, Olivier had precisely revealed them!

Denniston was even more so. She never expected her brother to reveal such a matter, leaving her at a loss for how to respond.

And the people of the Lorraine Family all changed their expressions, especially Miss Romons. Although she had brought Silva back before and had basically understood the situation clearly,

that was only the truth, without evidence. The Berwick Family could completely deny it, which was entirely different from Olivier himself speaking it out now.

After the shock, Denniston hysterically shouted, “Olivier, you are truly crazy! Do you know what you’re saying?”

“Of course I know. No one can stop me today; I’m going to tell everything.” Olivier continued, “You later sent people into the Lorraine Family and kidnapped Helena, the Yellow-robed High Priest of the Divine Court, attempting to frame Ye Bufan and have him killed by the Divine Court.

What was the result? You failed again. Not only did he suffer no losses, but he also received the Golden Holy Cross Medal awarded by the Divine Court, obtained another 100 million usd in gratitude money, and won Helena’s affection.

This is your scheme! This isn’t harming people; it’s practically giving them benefits! You self-righteous woman, you haven’t accomplished anything, yet you always put on an arrogant air and boss me around. Who do you think you are?”

After Olivier finished speaking, the entire banquet hall fell silent. Everyone was stunned in shock.

If the matter of using Pike against Ye Bufan was a thunderclap, these words were comparable to a divine thunder from the nine heavens, stirring up stormy waves in everyone’s hearts, because this matter concerned the Divine Court, and concerned the supreme Cardinal of the Divine Court.

At this instant, all eyes in the room fell upon Denniston.

Even with Denniston’s deep cunning, she couldn’t help but show a trace of panic at this moment.

“Everyone, don’t listen to his nonsense! He’s completely drunk. These are all false, things that didn’t happen…”

How could Ramos miss such a rare opportunity? He stepped forward and asked, “Olivier, are you sure what you’re saying is true?”

“Of course it’s true, not a single lie.” Olivier recounted in detail, “That night, she sent Anderson, our Family’s hidden master,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

and used a Stealth Talisman.

After that Talisman was used, no one could detect his presence, so he could freely enter and exit the Lorraine Family, and even the Cardinal couldn’t discover him…”

These words were without any concealment, revealing Denniston’s entire plan completely to everyone.

At this, Ramos and the people from the Divine Court suddenly understood. No wonder Helena could be kidnapped despite layers of protection; it turned out that such a thing as a Stealth Talisman existed.

Seeing that there was no longer any room for salvage, Denniston sank to the ground, completely flustered.

Casillas’s expression was terribly grim. He stepped forward and said coldly, “For this matter, your Berwick Family must give an explanation to our Divine Court.”

“I… I…”

Everything happened too suddenly. Denniston was completely unprepared, so how could she possibly give an explanation?

If it were someone else speaking, she could completely deny it, since there was no evidence for this matter. But precisely, the one standing there was her own brother, and no matter what she said, others would not believe her.

“Profaning the Divine Court, your Berwick Family will surely pay the price.”

Casillas had originally considered the existence of the Black Wizard Alliance and Helena’s safety, and had not intended to use force, but in the current situation, the matter had to be resolved.

He turned to look at everyone present and said with a solemn expression, “On behalf of the Divine Court, I formally declare that from this moment on, the Berwick Family will become the eternal enemy of the Divine Court.

Anyone who is on good terms with the Berwick Family will be dealt with accordingly.”

“Uh…”

No one in the audience spoke, but their hearts were surging with turbulent waves.

It must be said that Casillas’s move this time was extremely ruthless. Although he did not use force, it was enough to severely damage the Berwick Family, as the influence of the Divine Court was simply too great.

As the patriarch, Ramos naturally knew how to seize this opportunity. He immediately stepped forward and said, “On behalf of the Lorraine Family, I formally state that from today onwards, we will sever all ties with the Berwick Family, including economic exchanges. Everyone, please make your statements as well.”

The Lorraine Family was already an enemy of the Berwick Family, so it was not surprising for them to be the first to take a stand. The most crucial point was that Ramos directly demanded that everyone present state their position immediately, which forced the families in a neutral position to make an immediate choice.
