Just then, Vincent quickly took her hand, positioning himself in front of her as a shield. His gaze, sharp and cold, settled on Langston.
“You can’t deceive us. Did you think we wouldn’t find out ourselves?”
Known for his cunning and duplicity, Langston’s actions were always unpredictable. It was unwise to confront him without caution.
Katelyn regained her senses, realizing that her initial move had been too rash. Now that they had Langston under control, unraveling the identity of the mastermind behind him seemed imminent. Yet, it was obvious he wouldn’t just divulge the information. This was Langston, after all.
If he had been straightforward to deal with, he wouldn’t have been behind so many misdeeds.
Langston scoffed.
“Ah, Mr. Adams, it seems even you have your fears. Well, I’ll await your good news then.”
He was keen to see how much Vincent would endure for Katelyn. And did they really think unraveling the mastermind would be straightforward? How naive!
At that moment, Samuel entered, bowing with respect.
“Mr. Adams, we have dismantled all of Langston’s networks in Granville.”
Langston, previously smug, suddenly looked ashen.
“Vincent, what have you done?”
His calmness quickly evaporated. Langston tried to rush at Vincent, but the chains yanked him back, stopping any further movement.
These forces were the result of Langston’s years of dedication. Samuel handed Vincent a document.

“The Walsh family from Chaepstow has made an offer. They’ll give us the rights to develop the jade mine there if we take care of Langston for them.” The offer was clearly profitable.
In the world of jewelry, access to raw gemstones was always critical. Gaining control over a jade mine could lead to enormous advantages.
Shock registered on Langston’s face. They were ready to trade the mining rights just to remove him? He collapsed back into his chair and then erupted into mocking laughter.
“Haha, such a steep price they’re willing to pay just to get rid of me!”
As a Walsh himself, Langston was acutely aware of the significance of the mining rights. Now, these rights were being transferred to someone outside the family.
Katelyn was initially startled but quickly comprehended the implications. She gave Langston a cold smile.
“With all your wrongdoings, did you honestly think the Walsh family would continue to support you?”
Langston’s dealings with Jamison were bound to be exposed eventually. No one would tolerate a concealed threat nearby, poised to unleash devastation at a moment’s notice.
The Walsh family was engulfed in turmoil because of Langston. His very existence instilled fear.
