“You and Zair are twins, aren’t you?” Sophia siseered. “If you were just half–sisters, maybe Ed believe you. But you’re twins. How could you possibly help a stranger like me deal witli pour own sister?”
Eunice had already anticipated that Sophia wouldn’t trust her easily. But as long as Sophia was willing to listen, she’d already won half the battle.
In order to gain Sophia’s trust. Eunice didn’t hesitate to reveal a secret she had kept buried deep inside.
“So, I hired Carsar in kill Zoe, she confessed. “Caesar ranked 10th on the global mercenary list. And yet, he was killed by Zoe.
“Zoe’s not as simple as you think. If you don’t believe thie, go investigate her. Right now, I’m racking my brain trying to figure out how to get rid of that bitch.
everything from me. I won’t let that happen! Sophia, if you trust me, then let’s join forces”
“As long as she’s alive, one day she’ll steal everything
Sophia chuckled. Interesting. If you hate Zoe that much, then let’s work together.
“Don’t worry. As long as you follow my lead and help me get rid of Zoe, whether the Evans family gets driven out of Jelonsburg or not. I’ll put in a good word for you with my family and the Ludwig family”
Zoe had no idea that Eunice had se

The next morning, just as the sky began to brighten, Zoe got up early for her morning workout. But before she could step outside, she saw Sean sitting in the living room with a deeply troubled expression.
Zoe still had a bit of goodwill toward Sean. So she walked over and asked politely, Sean, is something bothering you?”
Sean stared at the laptop in front of him and gave a hiter unile. “For some unknown reason, the Ludwig family has started to suppress our family
on all fronts,”
“Someone even launched a cyberattack on our system before the market opened, which caused a crash in our stock price, he went on. “At this rate. the company is heading toward bankruptcy”
“Evans Group is the life’s work of our parents. I don’t even dare tell Dad overseas what’s going on. He entrusted the company to me, and this is what happened 1. I’m so undless” Sean pounded the table, groaning in frustration.
Zor, ever vigilant, immediately guessed the truth.
The Ludwig family’s sudden aggression toward the Evans family had to be connected to Sophia–especially after Zoe and Shawn had boldly provoked her
Seeing Sean in such pain. Zoe said nothing. She gave up her
er morning run, turned around, went back upstairs to her room, and locked the door.
Once she was sure no one would come in, Zoe opened her laptop. Her fingers danced rapidly over the keyboard. The screen flickered with swiftly changing window.
Before long, Zor used her advanced hacking skills to infiltrate Evans Group’s internal systems. She discovered that the data had been severely tampered with–explaining the slurp drop in stock prices.
Soon after, Zor used elite–level anti–tracking tools to trace the culprits. The Ludwig family was leading the charge, with the White family providing strong backup.
She hadn’t expected the two most powerful families in Jelonsburg to join forces against the Evans family. No wonder the situation had become sa
Zoe’s eyes turned cold in an instant. She immediately pulled out her phone and contacted Walther,

Walther: [Got it!]
Shortly after their conversation ended. Clusia’s stock market underwent a shocking upheaval.
Due to pressure from a mysterious foreign force, the previously high–flying stocks of companies under the Ludwig family and the White family plummeted in a matter of minutes
Forced into a comer, both the Ludwig family and the White family had no choice but to withdraw their suppression of the Evans family and launch emergency self–rescue measures to stabilize their businesses,
The news was immediately reponed to Joseph, who was stunned. “What?”
“It was Walther Alcout?” he muttered in disbelief, eyes wide with alarm. Why would that massive conglomerate from Goldewood make a move
Before he could recover from the shock, a call came in from the White family. On the line was Sophia’s grandfather. Marvin, who informed Joseph that the White family was also being targeted by a conglomerate in Goldewood
Even though the Ludwig family and the White family were the two most powerful families in Jelonsburg, to conglomerates in Goldewood, crushing them was as easy as squashing ants.
The moment the news broke, Joseph completely panicked. He couldn’t understand how this had happened.
As far as he knew, neither the Ludwig family nor the White family had done anything especially outrageous lately. The only thing they’d done together was go after the Evans family–a family that wasn’t particularly influential.
Joseph rouldn’t fathom when or how they could have offended conglomerates in Goldewood. Then suddenly, a terrifying suspicion began to take shape in Joseph’s mind.
He began to suspect that Zoe e knew Walther–and had ordered him to have conglomerates in Goldewood retaliate against both the Ludwig family and the White family.
