?Chapter 669:

    “Miss Hubbard,” Grant said meekly, “does this resolve things?”

    “It’s eptable,” Eloise replied coolly, flicking her wrist as if she couldn’t be bothered. “You can leave now.”

    “Yes, yes, of course. We’re leaving,” Grant said, backing away fast.

    The rest of them followed, stiff and silent. But Thea, Kole, and Cassie still shot venomous looks at Eloise and Christina as they left.

    “Just you wait, Christina. You won’t get away with this,” Thea muttered under her breath.

    “Yeah. Your days are numbered. Count on it,” Kole and Cassie hissed.

    A smug, infuriating smirk stretched across Eloise’s face as she delivered her chilling pronouncement. “I think you can start nning your own funeral now. Go home and just… wait for the end.”

    “You!” The Delgado siblings were on the precipice of absolute, unhinged fury, their faces contorting with a rage so profound that it threatened to shatter theirposure.

    Eloise, with a childish yet devastatingly effective gesture, stuck out her tongue, her voice dripping with mockery. “Oh, you imed we only deserved the scraps from the Morfort Restaurant, didn’t you? Honestly, I doubt you could even scavenge their kitchen waste.”

    “Humph! What goes around fuckinges around. We’ll see about that!” Kole spat back, his voice thick with unbridled contempt.

    “Exactly! I simply refuse to believe the Hubbard family’s reign canst forever,” Cassie interjected, her agreement a sharp, cutting edge to Kole’s defiance.

    Christina’s lips curled into a vicious sneer as she issued her cold, hard warning. “If you don’t get the hell out of here right now, you might just find yourself collecting a few more ps across the face.”

    “You vile woman! You’re only this arrogant, this insufferable, because you’re shamelessly clinging to the Hubbard family’s influence. Without them, you are absolutely nothing, a void!” Thea shrieked, her voice reaching a crescendo of pure indignation.

    “So what? Yes, I do rely on the Hubbard family, and what about it? The difference, darling, is that you couldn’t even if you begged on your knees,” Christina countered, a serene, almost angelic smile ying on her lips, making her words all the more cutting.

    Thea felt an uncontroble surge of scalding anger bubbling within her, a violent tempest with no clear path for release. Her fury threatened to erupt, tearing from her very chest.

    “Fine! Let’s see just how long you can keep this pathetic charade up!” Thea dered, her final wordsced with venom, before she spun on her heel and stormed away in a whirlwind of raw, uncontained rage.

    “Humph!” Cassie scoffed, a single, cold snort of disdain escaping her lips as she swiftly followed in Thea’s indignant wake.

    Kole fixed Christina and Eloise with a hard, unwavering re, his voice dropping into a low, menacing sneer. “I’ll see you at the underground boxing ring. If you don’t show up, you lose the bet. in and simple.”

    “Get out of my sight, you pathetic nuisance!” Christina retorted, her eyes rolling with an almost theatrical disy of annoyance.

    “You!” Kole’s finger shot out, trembling visibly as it pointed usingly at Christina, his entire body shaking with barely suppressed anger.
