Chapter 456

• Lady Edna and the rest of the Stone family had always hoped for Gavin’s downfall. If he lost his mind, he would no longer be a threat—unfit to lead the Stone family, let alone remain the president of Stone Corporation.

They must have known about the poison in his body and, rather than offering help, they chose to sever ties completely, likely hoping he would die quietly and never stain their family name.
• And now, Lady Edna was still scheming, trying to manipulate the branch families of the Stone Clan for her own gain.
