    The crowd''s curiosity was at its peak. They were holding on to every word, eager for more juicy details. The plot twists left everyone curious and unwilling to leave. After all, As''s words held a lot of weight.


    "What are you up to? Don''t forget your identity. As the head of the Pierce family, you shouldn''t..." Kevin was starting to panic.


    I felt a rush of satisfaction. It seemed like this plot twist was about to get even juicier.


    "You''re right. I am the head of the Pierce family. From today onward, everything in the Pierce family is under mymand. I won''t spare a single penny of the Pierce family''s wealth. I have no reason to support anyone from the Ellis family anymore."


    The hall erupted into chaos.


    "What does this mean?"


    "Who is he talking about?"


    "Is he referring to Adeline? No way, right?"


    "Quiet down and listen."


    Everyone in the hall was stunned, their eyes fixed on Adeline and Celine.


    Just then, a high-pitched, angry female voice rang out, "Kevin, what does he mean by that?"


    Kevin''s face turned ashen. "As! You''re not making sense, and you''re ndering my reputation. I''m going to sue you!"


    "I''m ndering you?" As coldly interjected, "Are you sure this is nder?"


    Adeline red at As.


    As remained indifferent. "Kevin, how did the Ellis family develop over these 20 years? You surely aren''t oblivious to it, are you?"


    Kevin looked warily at As and asked, "What are you trying to say? I advise you to stop."


    "Stop? Are you threatening me? Well, I know everything about you. That''s because I have never cked off for the past 20 years.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    "I don''t mind letting everyone here


    hear about your schemes. You''re quite the strategist, aren''t you? You got her pregnant, yet she''s now a part of the Pierce family." As''s tone turned ominous.


    "I''ll sue you for defamation!" Kevin was visibly mad.


    "Do you think you still have the chance to do that? Listen up. From now on, there will be no more Ellis family in Nocturnia."


    "How dare you?" Leslie, the eldest son of the Ellis family, shouted among the crowd.


    As raised an eyebrow. "I can do anything I want."


    Kevin was taken aback. Looking at As''s grim expression, his body involuntarily trembled.


    Pointing at As, he stammered, "What do you want to do?"


    At that moment, Kevin''s phone suddenly rang. Before he could answer it, the phones of the people beside him also started ringing. The urgent ringing sounded like a death knell causing everyone in the Ellis family to look down at their phones.


    After the consecutive ringing, the members of the Ellis family cried hysterically, "What? Why? You can''t do this."


    I immediately understood. Something big had happened to the Ellis family, and it was something that could crush them.


    I nced sideways at As, who looked calm andposed as he watched them.


    Just then, the woman who had been


    standing beside the impostor


    suddenly rushed over. She ran to


    As, crying and begging in despair, "As, please don''t do this. Please don''t harm the Ellis family.


    "Why not?" As raised an eyebrow, looking at the woman with a cold, unyielding gaze.


    The next moment, the woman dropped to her knees with a thud and tried to hold his leg.
