Smack!
The vicious slap came directly from Sean.
The room fell into a deathly silence. Nobody dared to cross him.
Sean’s predatory gaze swept over the crowd. “Let me make one thing crystal clear today. My relationship with Elena is entirely professional. She never seduced me. She is my savior. Everything I have achieved, I owe entirely to her!”
The crowd was utterly baffled.
What was Sean talking about?
Elena was his savior?
“To put it simply, Elena is the true mastermind and owner behind Aurelis Holdings Group. I am merely her employee. You absolute fools. The Whelan family deserves every bit of the ruin coming its way!”
The faces of Edward and Gavin’s families turned an awful shade of grey.
They exchanged horrified glances, unable to process the bombshell.
The owner of Aurelis Holdings Group was Elena!
“Mr. Maddox, are... are you telling the truth?” Old Mrs. Whelan asked, struggling to comprehend the reality.
“Why would I lie? Why else did you think I attended your eightieth birthday? I only showed up out of respect for my boss. If you hadn't been so biased and unjust, your family wouldn't have ended up in this pathetic state!”
Old Mrs. Whelan stumbled backward, barely managing to stay on her feet.
She looked at Elena, taking a shaky step forward as if to say something.
“Elena...”
But Elena cut her off immediately. “Save it. I came here today solely to teach Cathy and Jane a lesson. Let this be a warning to them to keep their heads down. Don't test my patience again, or I’ll forget we ever shared a name and wipe the Whelan Group right off the Cresden City map!”
