Chapter 5

"Keira and Keanu already got their marriage certificate. Their wedding will be soon. Even if Gael regrets it now, there's no turning back."

"They say the senior executives of Ventimiglia Investment Group will be here tonight. If they see Gael stirring trouble, they might pull out of the investment entirely."

Keanu's lips curled into a sneer as his gaze locked onto me. "Gael, how dare you show your face here? You're not welcome, leave."

His tone sharpened, the arrogance in his voice unmistakable. "You've heard, haven't you? Ventimiglia is about to inject capital into us. You came to wreck it, didn't you?"

"I'll warn you once, try it, and we'll make you regret it for the rest of your life."

Keira's cold laugh cut through the noise. "Why waste time talking? Call security and throw him out. And if he dares lift a finger, call the police and have him arrested."

The moment she said those words, she snapped her fingers for the hotel security to throw me out.

But the guards didn't budge, standing still as if her voice hadn't reached their ears.

Keira's face twisted with fury, but before she could lash out, Keanu barked at them, his tone sharp and arrogant.

"Are you deaf? If you don't want your job, just say so! I'll call your manager right now and have all of you fired!"

Without waiting for a response, Keanu ordered the hotel manager to come over.

When the manager arrived, he didn't spare them a single glance. Instead, he turned to me, his tone warm and respectful.

"Mr. Harington, everything is ready. When would you like us to play the videos?"

Before I could speak, Keira snapped at the manager, her voice sharp with outrage.

"Manager Smith, what is the meaning of this?"

Keanu's glare was no less venomous as he barked, "Our company has a partnership with your hotel! If you dare treat us like this, do you know what will happen when your boss finds out?"

The manager's eyes turned cold as ice, his tone cutting through the air.

"Our boss has made it clear that anyone who dares to disrespect Mr. Harington will be beaten out with sticks."

"And from this moment on, all of our boss's businesses will sever ties with Fanning Corporation."

At the manager's words, the entire room fell into stunned silence.

Keanu's face darkened as he burst out, his voice brimming with rage.

"Just because of Gael, your boss wants to cut ties with Fanning Corporation? Does your boss even know that Ventimiglia Investment Group is about to invest in us? Others would kill for a chance to work with us, yet your boss chooses this moment to sever ties for Gael's sake. Has your boss gone mad?"

Keira's cold gaze locked onto me.

"Gael, what exactly are you up to?"

I met her eyes calmly. "You'll find out soon enough."

At my words, the hotel manager gave a discreet signal, and the banquet hall's massive screen flickered to life.

The moment the footage appeared, Keira and Keanu's faces drained of color.
