Chapter 424 Legacy In Flames
“Uncle Raymond,” Maeve’s cold voice cut through the tension. “I have discovered that despite your supposed partnership with Raetec Group and Dame, you secretly used the a*sets of the Lenoir family that were inherited from Grandpa.”
Her icy stare bore into him, and she said sternly, “You have two options, Uncle. First, willingly sever all connections with the Lenoir family, publicly admit to every action you have taken, and ensure that from now on, your affairs will have no a*sociation with ours.”
“The other choice,” Maeve’s l*ps curled into a malicious smile. Still, her voice remained cold, “is to release this footage, exposing you, your Raetec Group, and the entire Lenoir family legacy, effectively destroying everything that has been built.”
Raymond’s eyes widened in shock and trembled in fury. “You wouldn’t dare!”
“Maeve, the Lenoir family is our blood, sweat, and tears, for which we work so hard!” Raymond pleaded.
She shrugged and replied dismissively, “Watch me. The legacy of the Lenoir family might have been your heart and soul, but I intend to shatter it into pieces.”
“Rest a*sured, even if you choose the first path,” Maeve’s voice turned venomous, “I will still destroy the Lenoir Group, piece by wretched piece.”
“Consider what has been done to secure the Lenoir Group’s legacy.” Maeve sniggered callously.
“I am committed to watching it crumble, slowly and painfully. There is no sweeter satisfaction than witnessing its demise.”
Maeve’s words hung heavily in the air, leaving everyone in the Lenoir Residence speechless.
Cherise stared at Maeve, and her jaw tightened as a bone-chilling realization settled in her chest.
Cherise had long suspected that Raymond, Damien’s uncle, was responsible for destroying Damien’s parents and sister in the past. Although Tristan had distanced himself from the Lenoir Group, Cherise was aware of the immense importance of the family legacy built over generations. by the Lenoir family.
The revelation sent shivers down her spine, and a sinister aura loomed over the room.
Damien had revealed to her how deeply his parents cherished the legacy, aspiring to enhance the reputation of the Lenoir family.
However, every word from Maeve’s l*ps was now aimed at destroying the Lenoir family’s legacy.
It was solely because of Raymond’s insatiable greed that she intended to eradicate everything.
This seemed rational and plausible at first.

Yet, the Lenoir Group was not at fault.
Its millions of employees were innocent bystanders.
As were the other members of the Lenoir family entangled in this unfortunate situation.
Why should the sins of one, Raymond, lead to the shattering of countless lives and dreams?
Old Mr. Lenoir’s brows knitted in concern. “Maeve, is this level of cruelty truly necessary?”
“Cruelty?” Maeve’s laughter dripped with malice. “I don’t see it that way.”
“Grandpa, I know exactly what kind of person you are,” she sneered.
“I must ask, why has the Lenoir family withered away over the years?”
“Isn’t it because infighting is a cherished tradition within our family?”

“Didn’t you also scheme against your brother to inherit this legacy of the Lenoir family?” she sneered, her eyes cold and calculating. “When my parents fell victim to Uncle Raymond’s schemes, you didn’t lift a finger, did you?”
Old Mr. Lenoir frowned, and his gaze fixed sharply on Maeve. His voice turned icy and distant. “Is that how you see it?”
“Without a doubt,” she replied indignantly.
Maeve let out a bitter laugh. “Uncle Raymond conspired with outsiders to tamper with my parents’ car and hired a fugitive to ram a large truck into them. I have thoroughly investigated every detail of that incident.”
“And then,” she continued, her voice turning colder, “when Uncle Raymond discovered I had uncovered his scheme, he arranged an arson, hoping to silence me for good, to cover his tracks.
“Do you think saving me through a staged death gives you control over my loyalty?” She taunted, each word sharper than the last.
The relentless barrage of questions left Old Mr. Lenoir speechless as his fingers tightened around the cane.
She continued mirthlessly. “Now, I want to completely destroy this Lenoir Group.”
