Chapter 326: Chapter 326 Net Worth Doubled

The dim lighting cast a gloomy atmosphere, and the stacks of wine barrels against the wall stretched their long shadows under the old-fashioned candlelight.

Fang Yuan held the contract in her hand, her expression blank.

When she had signed the contract just now, although she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was already in turmoil, even filled with panic.

If it weren’t for her acting experience, which allowed her to perfectly conceal these emotions deep within, she would have probably given herself away just now.

She knew that after today, she would never see Brown and Carter again.

And the main members of the Edward Family would also mysteriously disappear tonight.

As the first lady of the Edward Family, and with almost all of the family’s data in her hands, she could easily take over most of the Edward Family’s assets.

No one in the whole of Europe, or even the entire West, would question her, and William’s family and Charlie’s family would even clear all obstacles for her.

They would also manipulate the media to maintain her perfect public image.

At this moment, Fang Yuan’s emotions were indescribably complex, so much so that even she couldn’t articulate them clearly.

“Not bad acting, truly professional!”

A cold voice suddenly came from the corner, as Jin Lingsu’s figure slowly emerged.

She wasn’t wearing shoes, just a pair of special socks, and made no sound when she walked; she must have been hiding here for quite some time.

Fang Yuan’s gaze remained blank, and she sat without moving.

“Chen Yu saw this quality in you, which is why he sought to cooperate with me, isn’t it?”

Jin Lingsu didn’t respond, but simply pulled a chair over and sat down.

“My current job is to ensure your safety. I will let you out after the matters outside are settled. By that time, you’ll be the richest woman in Europe.”

Only then did Fang Yuan slowly come to her senses, “So what you’re saying is, I’m imprisoned now?”

Jin Lingsu poured a glass of wine, “With the downfall of the Edward Family, you, the first lady, should also disappear along with them!”

“To put on a convincing act, you need to reappear suddenly, waving the flag of revenge for the Edward Family, to draw other events together.”

Fang Yuan let out a long sigh. She was clear that she was now just meat on Chen Yu’s chopping block.

The contracts in her hand had real significance, but if Chen Yu didn’t agree, she was helpless.

The situation had developed beyond her control; all she could do now was wait.

On an especially quaint train, all the leaders of the Edward Family were gathered in the same carriage.

Before this, they had already sent out a message, claiming that they were going to take a private plane back to Wales.

Despite this clear path and secretive operation, they still couldn’t find peace of mind.

Now with a massive shift in the industrial structure of Europe, William’s family and Charlie’s family were launching a full-scale counterattack.

All of the Edward Family’s strategies here had been wiped out.

They were facing an all-out manhunt!

The train’s route was extremely secretive and its speed remarkably fast.

Everyone in the carriage was holding a cross, ceaselessly praying.

Brown looked lost in thought, an inexplicable unease about him, while Carter was constantly pacing beside him, appearing extremely restless.

“I’m still not at ease. Is it really a good idea to leave Fang Yuan alone there? What if she conspires with people from William’s family in secret and betrays us? What then?”

Carter had always been cautious and would never take action unless he was absolutely sure of success.

If it hadn’t been for the rush, he certainly wouldn’t have signed the documents Fang Yuan had given him.
