Chapter 721:

Clarissa was taken aback. She couldn’t possibly forget such a visage. She had seen it before.

The man in front of her was Andrew, the heir to Lorpond’s most prestigious family. And he had almost become Savannah’s husband.

“Why are you here?” Clarissa asked cautiously, her voice tinged with suspicion.

Andrew maintained a calm demeanor and replied, “Mrs. Hunt, you’ve worked tirelessly to help your dear brother-in-law seize power, all because they promised you the most valuable plot of land in the city center once they succeed. That plot generates at least five billion in annual profits.”

Not expecting Andrew to know so much about their dealings, Clarissa was surprised.

With a sharp gaze, she said, “You didn’t come all this way just to tell me that, did you, Mr. Klein?”

“I’m here to offer you a friendly warning,” Andrew continued. “Do you truly believe your brother-in-law will hand over that land once he’s in power? Without a signed contract, he can back out whenever he wants. When he’s in control, he’ll hold all the cards. If he decides not to give it to you, there’s nothing you can do.”

Andrew’s words stirred unease within Clarissa.

Her dissatisfaction with her sister’s family had been growing lately, especially after Patty had been mistreated at the palace. However, she couldn’t let an outsider see her vulnerability.

“If you’re here just to sow discord, Mr. Klein, then please leave. My sister and I are family; there’s no need to fuss over such matters.” Clarissa stood up, clearly indicating it was time for Andrew to go.

Unfazed, Andrew continued in a steady tone, “I’ve heard some of their plans from Savannah. In Aswil, there are many business tycoons with complex relationships. For example, your rivalry with the Black family—the second-largest conglomerate—is well-known. You’ve been battling over land endlessly. But now, the Black family is supporting your brother-in-law. Haven’t you wondered…”

Clarissa remained silent as her mind raced.

It was clear her brother-in-law must have promised the Black family significant benefits.

“You might know your brother-in-law’s family made promises to the Black family, but perhaps not the specifics. Let me enlighten you—they offered them the same land in the city center!” Andrew seemed to have read Clarissa’s thoughts.

Her eyes widened in disbelief. “That can’t be true!”

“Why not? What else would the Black family want besides that land?”

Clenching her fists, Clarissa felt sweat form on her palms.

“If you don’t believe me, perhaps you should ask your sister to sign a contract with you. However, I suspect she won’t agree, since she’s already signed one with the Black family.”

A subtle, knowing smile appeared on Andrew’s face. He decided to leave when he noticed Clarissa’s face turning pale.

For a while, Clarissa stood still, taking deep breaths to steady herself before going to comfort Patty. Only then did she finally leave the house.

Meanwhile, Patty was fully engrossed in watching the online attacks on Waylon, feeling increasingly pleased. She understood that without her protection, Waylon would struggle in the entertainment industry. Soon enough, he would regret not apologizing to her. When that time came, she planned to make his life miserable.

Upon arriving at the palace, Clarissa was warmly greeted by Yolanda.
