“If you refuse to do this , Tim, don’t blame me for taking action!” Magnus threatened.

He didn’t want to deal with me. I was just a young woman , and he felt someone as Insignificant as me wasn’t worthy of his time ,
However, if Irvin insisted on being stubborn and believing I was flore important than the family’s interests, I would then be ati obstacle. Magnus had no qualms about eliminating any pesky obstacles.
“If you dare lay a hand on Emilia , then I will reveal to the world that I’m not Timothy! Then we’ll see just how unstable Hardwell Group’s stock prices will be and how the shares will be redistributed.
“We’ll also see if your brother, who has been waiting in the shadows all this while, will use this chance to take over. I’m sure you know better than I do what the outcomes will be, Magnus,” Irvin threatened back.
Magnus knew Irvin was brave, but he didn’t realize he was so bold. Not only did Irvini refuse to obey him, but he had also dared to threaten him.
Furious, Magnus slammed his hands on the table.
“You scoundrel!” he shouted. “Do you think I’ll be reluctant to touch you just because you’re my remaining living son?”
“No. After all, you’re still young enough to produce as many sons as you want, Magnus , ” Irvin replied. “I’m just making it known what my bottom line is–which is my ex–wife.
“As long as she’s safe and happy, I’ll do anything for the Hardwell family. However, if anything were to happen to her, then we’ll all go down together!”
Before Magnus could respond, Irvin swiftly added, “I don’t understand why you’re insisting on your plan either. You want to stabilize the group’s stock prices, make everyone believe I’m Timothy, and solidify your power in the family, correct?
“So why do we have to harm Emilia to do so? There are plenty of other ways to resolve this issue.”
Magnus, who had been furious just a moment ago, immediately calmed down at his words.”
“What do you mean?” he asked.
“I mean, I have other ways of handling the current problem,” Irvin replied.
Magnus had no issue being ruthless to those who defied him. But when it came to his own son , especially the only one who was still alive, he couldn’t bring himself to do so.
“It won’t even take three days–I can take care of it in one,” Irvin added confidently.
With that, he left.
Magnus couldn’t keep his admiration and approval from flickering in his eyes as he watched Irvin’s departing figure.
Irvin was bold, as the Hardwell heir should be.
Magnus was a true man of power. Irvin’s defiance angered him, and he didn’t tolerate being challenged. That being said, he was also secretly pleased that Irvin had done both.
Irvin didn’t simply follow orders. He also had a backbone and couldn’t be easily controlled. Otherwise, Magnus wouldn’t have been so fond of him.
Agatha and Grace caught the glint of approval in Magnus‘ eyes and balled their hands into fists. Once again , th an unexpected turn.
They seethed internally, cursing Irvin in their mind.
Once Magnus had left the study, Agatha turned to Grace in frustration.

“What do we do now? ” she asked irritably.

She had never tolerated being opposed, not even as a child. Hence the more she failed to destroy me, the more desperate Agatha was to do so.
Grace was about to say that, given the current situation, they would have to endure for now and wait for another opportunity.
But just then, her phone chimed with a message. After reading it, she smiled. It seemed fate had dealt her a new card to play. Seeing Grace smile, Agatha naturally leaned closer. “What is it?”
