Ballard, catching the insinuation, was briefly taken aback before erupting into mirthless laughter.
“Your wife has already wreaked havoc on my daughter, what good is a corporation then? Everyone, we
must stand united and not cower before might. Do not become the underlings of the Hughes Group!”
Brian’s good-looking face wore a chilly expression.
“Birds of a feather flock together. Is it any surprise that your daughter Brylee’s a bit crazy, just like her

escorting him from the conference room.
Ballard’s entourage attempted an intervention, but Edwin’s strength was unmatched.
“Let me go! Brian Hughes, your audacity knows no bounds! You were merely a twinkle in your father’s

Ballard’s protest was loud and fierce.
“Noisy,” Brian said coldly.
He signaled silently, and Edwin promptly gagged Ballard with a towel, removing him from the room.
The door’s slamming severed Ballard’s tirades from the silent space.
A hush descended as Brian’s gaze swept over those assembled.

The message was crystal clear. Witnessing Ballard’s forceful removal served as a stern warning to

“It’s a rarity to find someone as altruistic as Mrs. Hughes in design.”

Rosalynn could only sigh internally at the flattery.

She wondered, if they knew she was now Brian’s ex-wife, what their expressions would be?
With this thought, Rosalynn got rid of Brian’s grip on her hand.
