Chapter 489

Reginald Quincy's knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists, veins bulging across his hands. His glare burned into Ethan Sullivan's unshakable composure.

"Let you go? In your dreams!"

He whirled around, slamming the door with a deafening crash.

The smirk froze on Ethan's lips.

A glacial glint flashed in his eyes.

The Quincy family had played their hand ruthlessly this time.

Even using their own son as bait.

Ethan flexed his fingers experimentally. The sedative was stronger than anticipated.

He needed to regain his strength quickly.

The sound of shattering glass erupted from next door.

Xander Quincy's hysterical roar followed. "Father! Have you lost your mind?"

Reginald stormed in, his face thunderous.

Xander slumped in his chair, eyes bloodshot. "You set me up too?"

"Silence!" Reginald seized his chin. "Remember your last name!"

Xander suddenly laughed. "The Quincy family should've collapsed long ago."

"You ungrateful brat!" Reginald backhanded him across the face.

Blood trickled from Xander's split lip.

He licked the crimson stain, his gaze mocking. "You think kidnapping Ethan will save you?"

Reginald yanked him up by the collar. "The Lowells will surrender soon enough."

Xander glanced out the window. "You have no idea who you're dealing with."

Ethan listened to the commotion next door, his fingertips twitching faintly.

He had to escape before Evelyn Laurent discovered his absence.

The engagement ring in his breast pocket pressed uncomfortably against his chest.

Reginald would never expect—

This kidnapping would become the final straw that crushed the Quincy empire.
