Chapter 1426: A Lonely Man

At the invitation of the Lorraine Family, today's reception almost encompassed the entire upper society of the Federal Capital, with various Families sending their representatives.

"My Ross Family is willing to follow God's guidance, stay away from the sinful Berwick Family, and sever all ties with them…"

"My Lorraine Family is willing to sever all ties with the Berwick Family…"

"My Foxon Family is willing to sever all ties with the Berwick Family…"

Those Families who were originally affiliated with the Lorraine Family immediately stepped forward, instantly elevating the atmosphere of despising the Berwick Family to its peak.

Ramos was very pleased with this atmosphere and quickly turned his gaze towards the Perran Family, settling on Gomes.

Gomes still had a faint smile on his face, but inwardly he cursed over 100 times.

Originally, he was accustomed to playing both sides and reaping the benefits. His purpose in coming today was to stir up conflict between the Berwick Family and Ye Bufan, but he never expected so many things to suddenly happen.

The situation had completely spiraled out of control, ultimately dragging him into it, forcing him to make a public choice.

If it were just the Perran Family, the Berwick Family, and the Lorraine Family, he would have been able to handle it better, but now there was the behemoth Divine Court. Under such circumstances, not clarifying his stance was definitely not an option.

Moreover, Casillas had made it very clear: either a friend or an enemy. If he didn't publicly break with the Berwick Family, he would become a target for the Divine Court.

After weighing the pros and cons, he could only say, "I never expected the Berwick Family to do something so outrageous, which angers both gods and men. Olivier just canceled the engagement with our Family, so we no longer have any connection with them, and we will sever all ties from now on!"

As soon as he spoke, Alicia almost cheered. She had worked so hard for so long, and her ultimate goal was to break off this engagement. Today, she finally got her wish and would no longer be troubled by Olivier.

Moreover, this annulment of the engagement was witnessed by the Divine Court and everyone present. From now on, she would no longer have to worry about the Berwick Family going back on their word, nor would she be confined by her Family. She could happily be with the person she loved.

In her extreme excitement, she hugged Ye Bufan's neck and gave him a fierce kiss on the cheek.

"My dear, we can be together now."

Gomes's public statement and the annulment of the engagement not only signified the breaking of a marriage but also formally declared the Alliance between the Perran Family and the Berwick Family.

Alliance officially broken.

Subsequently, those smaller Families who had previously followed the Perran Family immediately rushed forward, vying to declare their severance of ties with the heinous Berwick Family.

As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes. As the situation developed, even those smaller Families who were previously affiliated with the Berwick Family also jumped out one after another, declaring the severance of all ties.

There was no other way, because the other party was truly too powerful. That was a Cardinal, backed by the unapproachable Divine Court.

In less than half an hour, almost all the forces attending the reception had stepped forward to make their stance, and the Berwick Family truly became isolated.

"How could this be? How could this be?"

Denniston, slumped on the ground, murmured to herself, her eyes filled with despair. She had always prided herself on her superior intellect and wisdom, yet she had never imagined her Family would fall to such a state.

Suddenly, in her mind, she recalled Ye Bufan's words, "This is your last chance, otherwise you will regret it."

That's right, she truly regretted it now, and her intestines were turning green with regret!

Although she still didn't know how Ye Bufan had done it, this matter was definitely inextricably linked to him. If she had a chance to start over, the Berwick Family would never have become enemies with this Chinese man.

Looking at everything before him, Ramos was overjoyed. For so many years, he had been confronting the Berwick Family, unable to suppress them, but today he had easily and completely crushed them. The victory had come too suddenly.

The Berwick Family being isolated by everyone meant their economic lifeline was directly cut off. Even if no one acted against them, their decline was only a matter of time. It wouldn't be long before they were removed from the Federal Capital, a true example of winning without bloodshed.

With a triumphant smile on his face, he stepped forward and said, "Young Miss Denniston, our Lorraine Family does not welcome enemies as guests here. Please leave."

At this point, Ramos no longer showed any politeness and directly ordered her to leave.

Even if Ramos hadn't spoken, Denniston had no face to stay any longer. She had come here today hoping not to be suspected, but instead, her crimes had been confirmed.

She scrambled to her feet and walked out of the hall with a livid face.

"Sister, wait for me."

Olivier threw away the microphone in his hand and rushed out after her, but unfortunately, Denniston was full of rage at the moment, wishing she could kill him, and completely (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

ignored him.

The two went outside and directly to the parking lot. Denniston opened the car door and got in. Olivier, perhaps due to fear, did not sit in the passenger seat but in the back row.

"You wait, I'll settle accounts with you when we get back."

Denniston said fiercely, then started the car and sped back to the Berwick Family.

Upon returning home, she parked the car and angrily shouted at the back, "Get out of the car, you damn thing!"

She called out a few times but found no movement from the back. She pulled open the car door and saw Olivier lying in the back seat, sound asleep, his clothes messily thrown aside, with only his underwear remaining.

Seeing this, Denniston could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She waved her hand and called over four Family bodyguards.

"Drag him out for me."

Although the bodyguards didn't know what had happened, they dared not disobey the Young Miss's command. They haphazardly dragged Olivier out of the car.

And even at this point, he was still sound asleep, showing no signs of waking up.

Denniston was even more furious, gritting her teeth and shouting, "Beat him! Beat him hard!"

The bodyguards felt the Young Miss's wrath and dared not hesitate. They began to punch and kick Olivier.

At first, they didn't dare to use much force, but later, under Denniston's loud scolding, they hit harder and harder, quickly waking up the unconscious Olivier.

"Ah… Who's hitting me?"

At this moment, he woke up as if from a dream, looking around with a bewildered expression.

When he realized that the ones hitting him were his own Family bodyguards, he immediately became furious, "Are you all f*cking crazy? How dare you hit Young Master?"

"You're the crazy one! What did you do today?"

An enraged Denniston raised her leg and kicked Olivier in the face, directly sending him sprawling to the ground.

"Sister, why are you hitting me?"

Olivier was completely confused, not understanding why Denniston was suddenly attacking him.

"I'm hitting you! I wish I could beat you to death, you brainless thing!"

Aniston reached out and took a rubber stick from a bodyguard's hand, then swung it down on him without hesitation.

Olivier rolled on the ground, groaning and shouting, "Sister, stop quickly! Why are you hitting me? What did I do wrong?"
