After the gala, Isaac followed Elijah into the sleek black Bentley parked outside.

"Seraphina's already on her way back. | bet the Donahues caught wind of it."

Elijah raised an eyebrow. "And so?"

"We need to deal with the Donahues, pronto."

Isaac was eager to accelerate their plans, and Elijah had no objections, merely stating, "You vanished for nearly half an hour during

the dinner. Where did you go?"

Isaac knew Elijah had eyes on him at all times. But that half-hour was a mystery.

Aware that Elijah had been tracking his movements, Isaac's patience wore thin. "Mr. Ulbricht, we're partners. You saved me, and

I'm helping you with your plan. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. I'm not your subordinate, and your constant surveillance

seems to contradict the spirit of our partnership."

Elijah, knowing full well the challenge Isaac posed, didn't want to push too hard and conceded, "Understood."

Feeling the tension in the car, Isaac opened the door. "Mr. Ulbricht, let's catch up another day."

After he left, Elijah's assistant couldn't hide his frustration. "Mr. Ulbricht, he's really pushing his luck. If it weren't for us, he'd be six

feet under."

Talking back to the man who saved his life? Was he looking for trouble?

"Let it go. He's key to our plans right now. We can't afford to upset him," Elijah rubbed his temples. "Just make sure our guys are

smart about it. We can't afford slip-ups."

"Got it."

Back at his apartment, Isaac pushed open his bedroom door, spotting a set of women's pajamas on the bed.

They belonged to Brittany.

Picking them up, he was enveloped by her scent, almost as if Brittany were right there with him. He lingered for a moment before

heading to the bathroom.

Meanwhile.

Returning to the gala, Brittany caught sight of Seraphina making a move on Isaac. She was livid.

"What's wrong?"

Ysabel noticed her sour expression, as if Brittany had just knocked over a jar of vinegar.

Brittany forced a smile. "Nothing, just saw something | wish | hadn't."

Ysabel, eyebrow arched, teased, "Have you got someone special?"

Brittany was quick to deny, "Not at all."

Ysabel grinned knowingly; she could tell something was off with Brittany lately. "If you say so. But when you do, you better bring

him by forto meet."

Ysabel, being older, always treated Brittany like a little sister.

"Will do."

After the gala, Brittany returned to the Lte Mansion and started digging into the Donahues.

The Donahues had been thriving in recent years, especially after the Ulbricht family's downfall, swiftly taking over many of their

assets and reaping considerable benefits.

In other words, the rise of the Donahues was built on the Ulbrichts' fall.

No wonder Elijah despised Seraphina.

Brittany had a hunch that the Donahues' good days were numbered.

Sure enough, by the next morning, rumors of tax evasion and substandard project inspections involving the Donahues had spread

like wildfire. The entire Donahue clan was hauled in by the authorities.

With the news breaking, their stocks plummeted, resulting in losses in the billions!

Such a tic turn of events couldn't help but seem orchestrated.

"The Donahues are done for. It's said they were reported... with solid evidence!"

"Who's behind it?"

"Who else but Elijah?"

"After the Ulbrichts fell, the Donahues kicked them while they were down, seizing their assets. With Elijah'seback, revenge

was inevitable."

"And Octavia, she was with Elijah for a good five or six years. Who would've thought she'd be the first to abandon him when

trouble struck?"

"As the saying goes, 'In prosperity, our friends know us; in adversity, we know our friends."
