Chapter 1427 Perfect
“How dare you even ask me? Who gave you the guts to break off the engagement in public? Who gave you the guts to reveal the Family’s secrets to the public?
You even spoke about attacking the Divine Court. Are you trying to make our Berwick Family die faster?”
The more Denniston spoke, the angrier she became. She swung her stick hard at Olivier’s head, and blood immediately gushed out.
“Sister, what are you talking about? I don’t know anything at all. When did I break off the engagement? And when did I reveal all the Family’s secrets? I never did any of that…”
Olivier covered his broken head, looking utterly bewildered.
“I saw it with my own eyes, and you still want to deny it…”
Denniston swung the stick again.
Olivier was enraged by the beating and snatched the rubber stick away.
“Sister, what are you talking about? I clearly didn’t do anything.”
“Olivier, what’s the point of denying it now? The entire Family has been ruined by you…”
As Denniston said this, the grievances in her heart welled up, and she squatted on the ground, crying loudly.
“Sister, what exactly is going on? What happened?”
Olivier looked confused again. In all these years, it was the first time he had seen his sister like this.
In the past, Denniston would always retaliate fiercely against anyone who provoked the Berwick Family; she had never cried before.
“You really don’t know?”
Denniston seemed to sense something was off and looked up at Olivier.
“I really don’t know.”
Olivier calmed down a bit and suddenly thought of something, saying urgently, “Sister, I forgot to tell you, I met Ye Bufan in the restroom.
He knocked me out, and after that, I didn’t know anything. I just woke up a moment ago. Did something happen again?”
Denniston jumped up, “What did you say? You were knocked out? Are you sure you’re not lying?”
“No, I’m telling the truth. Although I was almost driven crazy by that bitch Alicia at the time.
But for the sake of the Family’s overall situation, I didn’t act out. Instead, I went into the restroom, and then Ye Bufan followed and knocked me out.”
“Damn Ye Bufan, I’ll cut him into a thousand pieces!”
Only now did Denniston fully realize that she had been tricked by Ye Bufan. No wonder

her brother suddenly dared to hit her, and no wonder he would publicly reveal the Family’s secrets. It turned out that all of this was orchestrated by him.
Olivier asked anxiously, “Sister, what exactly happened?”
After her anger subsided, Denniston sighed deeply, recounted the entire incident from beginning to end, and finally said with immense despondency, “After all this commotion, our Berwick Family is completely finished.
Now, in the Federal Capital, we have been isolated by all the noble families. In the future, even survival will be a problem.”
“What? How could this happen?”
Olivier was stunned. Coming back to his senses, he shouted, “Sister, it must have been Ye Bufan impersonating me. All of this was done by him. Didn’t you expose him at the time?”
“No.”
Denniston slowly calmed down and regained her ability to think.
“I still clearly remember the scene at the time. Ye Bufan was sitting between Helena and Alicia. This definitely couldn’t be false.
Moreover, the person who went on stage to speak must have been you. Whether it was the voice, tone, or body language and expression, they were exactly like yours. Even if others could mistake it, there’s no way I could mistake my own brother.”
Olivier said in astonishment, “But I really don’t know. I was already knocked out at the time, how could I have done these things?”
“It must have been Ye Bufan’s doing,” Denniston said. “Ye Bufan was originally a Dual Cultivation practitioner of martial arts and magic. Now it seems he must have manipulated your mind through some special technique. Although you did all of this, it was completely under his control.”
Even if she were smarter, she couldn’t have imagined that Ye Bufan possessed the miraculous easy disguise technique of the Ancient Medical Sect Legacy, nor could she have imagined the existence of someone like Ye Erlang.
The Berwick Family was backed by the Black Wizard Alliance, so they were not unfamiliar with sorcery. Thus, she easily thought of profound magical techniques that could manipulate people’s minds.
“Sister, what should we do then?”
Olivier wasn’t a fool; he could also realize the serious consequences of this matter.
Denniston said despondently, “What else can we do? It’s already been broken off; we can’t take it back.
We have completely become enemies with the Divine Court. They have publicly listed us as their adversaries. It’s a great mercy that they didn’t act against us today.”
“But I didn’t do this at all. We can go and explain it clearly to the Divine Court, we can publish the

truth.”
Denniston smiled bitterly and shook her head, “Ye Bufan handled this matter too cleverly; he didn’t leave a single piece of evidence. And he was present at the scene, everyone saw that he was innocent.
Even if we speak out, I’m afraid no one will believe us—neither the Divine Court nor anyone else—because there are no flaws in these matters; it completely looks like we did it.
To take it a step further, what high society values most is self-interest. Now that our Berwick Family’s influence is gone, even if they believe us in their hearts, they won’t admit it publicly. Instead, they’ll be the first to stand up and call us shameless.”
“Damn Ye Bufan!” Olivier gritted his teeth and shouted, “Are we just going to endure this?”
“Of course not. If I don’t tear Ye Bufan into a million pieces, I swear I’m not human…”
At this moment, Denniston’s heart was filled with hatred, and her beautiful face became twisted and ferocious.
Just then, her phone rang in her bag. She picked it up and glanced at it, initially not wanting to answer, but upon seeing the number, her face instantly lit up with wild joy, and she immediately pressed the answer button.
Two minutes later, she hung up the phone and shouted with a crazy look, “The Alliance Leader has emerged from seclusion and will arrive at the Federal Capital immediately. Ye Bufan, just wait to die!”
At the Lorraine Family, Ye Bufan threw Olivier into Denniston’s car, quietly returned to the banquet hall, and then called Ye Erlang to a secluded place to resume his own identity.
Everything he had done just now was flawless, without any loopholes. The most crucial part was that these things were facts; he had merely used his own mouth to say them.
Ramos was beaming with joy. Completely resolving the Berwick Family at today’s banquet was an unexpected pleasant surprise, making him feel as if he had become more than ten years younger.
“Everyone, our banquet today is to welcome Mr. Ye. Let’s not let the Berwick Family spoil our mood. Please continue.”
The banquet then continued, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively.
Ye Bufan indeed had a headache. Helena and Alicia, the two women, kept following him, constantly clashing and refusing to back down, yet he couldn't find a good solution.
He finally endured until the end of the banquet. Just as he was about to leave, Alicia grabbed him, “Dear, I’ll go with you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Helena immediately shouted, “I’ll go with you too.”
