Chapter 622

A cold smile touched Evelyn Ross's lips.

Her gaze swept over the chaotic crowd, landing precisely on Ethan Valentine.

She gave a slight nod.

Ethan understood immediately.

He led several Inner Disciples of the Cortez Sect into the fray like a sharp blade.

"Everyone, stop!"

Ethan's voice was loud and carried an undeniable authority.

This was Evelyn's backup plan.

When reason fails, fists become the most effective language.

Each Inner Disciple of the Cortez Sect was highly skilled, comparable to experts like Leo Wright.

As they entered, they quickly separated the two sides.

Leo Wright tried to resist but was swiftly subdued by Ethan, who twisted his arm behind his back.

A sharp cry of pain escaped Leo.

The situation was quickly brought under control.

Marcus Wright and Daniel Clementson exchanged a glance, their brows furrowed.

They hadn't expected the Cortez Sect to intervene so suddenly.

Marcus's eyes darted, and he immediately shouted, "Second Senior Brother! Are you here to help us? Excellent!"

The people on Grace Lorenz's side instantly looked hopeful.

"Miss Lorenz has connections with the Cortez Sect!"

"The Cortez Sect is here for us! Look, they've captured Leo Wright!"

Leo Wright's face flushed with anger.

He glared at Ethan. "Ethan Valentine! The Cortez Sect never interferes in Special Operations Division affairs! This is a violation of the rules!"

Daniel Clementson also spoke sternly. "That's right! This is outrageous!"

He turned to Grace. "So this is why your family dared to make a move today. You found the Cortez Sect as your backer."

"Do you think having the Cortez Sect's support means you can reclaim the Chairman's position?"

His words instantly lit the fuse.

Everyone on Marcus Wright's side was furious.

Leo Wright began cursing loudly.

Marcus Wright's face darkened. He stepped forward. "Second Senior Brother of the Cortez Sect, what is the meaning of this?"

"You must give me an explanation today!"

Ethan was taken aback.

What did he mean?

He was just following his little sister's orders to break up the fight.

Everyone else stopped when he intervened. Only Leo Wright, due to his skill, wasn't immediately subdued, so he had to restrain him.

How did that become taking sides?

"I'm not..."

"You're not what?" Daniel Clementson roared. "Then why did you only capture Leo Wright?"

"Let go of Young Master Wright!"

"Release him!"

Marcus Wright also demanded sternly, "Let go of my son!"

Ethan was about to release him.

Marcus spoke again. "Second Senior Brother, don't be afraid! Old Mr. Lorenz is the rightful Chairman now!"

"What are the Wright father and son? Are they even worthy of competing with the Lorenz family?"

The young people behind Grace immediately chimed in. "Right! What are they?"

"Old Mr. Lorenz treated you so well before. He must have been blind!"

"Heartless! Biting the hand that fed them!"

Leo Wright shouted angrily. "Old Mr. Lorenz said himself he would hand the Special Operations Division over to my father!"

"It's not like my father asked for it!"

"If you didn't want to give it, you should have said so! Why put on this hypocritical act!"

"Exactly! Old Mr. Lorenz says one thing and does another. Disgusting!"

"We support Director Wright! We support Leo Wright!"

The two sides were about to start arguing again.

Marcus and Daniel, these two troublemakers!

Evelyn gave a cold laugh and stepped forward.

She looked at Marcus Wright. "Deputy Director Wright, do you also believe Old Mr. Lorenz went back on his word?"

Marcus Wright's eyes darkened.

A flash of anger crossed his face.

Evelyn understood.

This resentment had been building for a long time.

Daniel Clementson must have been whispering poison in his ear constantly.

Trust between people is like that.

One piece of slander might not be believed.

Nor a second.

But what about a third? A fourth?

Day after day, accumulating over time?

Both Old Mr. Lorenz and Marcus Wright were deep thinkers.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain.

There were inherent conflicts between them.

Old Mr. Lorenz might have sincerely intended to hand over power.

But for some reason, he had delayed stepping down.

This had aroused Marcus Wright's suspicion.

Leo Wright sneered. "Of course he wasn't sincere!"

"He's eighty years old and still clinging to the Chairman's seat!"

"My father is fifty this year! Does he plan to live to a hundred, so my father takes over at seventy?"

Marcus Wright gave a cold laugh and looked at Benjamin Wright. "Brother Lorenz, since we're speaking frankly today, give me a straight answer."

"Is the old man not confident in me?"

"Transferring Grace here, is he preparing for her to take over?"

Leo Wright immediately yelled. "On what grounds!"

"Father, how much have you given for the Special Operations Division!"

"Let this little girl Grace manage it? I won't accept it!"

"I won't accept it either!"

"Director Wright, don't waste words on them! Old Mr. Lorenz has been taken away. Just take the position directly!"

Evelyn looked at Marcus Wright and sighed softly.

She asked again. "You don't believe the old man either?"

Marcus Wright said angrily, "I have nothing to say to you!"

"But I have something to say to you."

Evelyn stepped forward and handed a document to Marcus Wright.

"Before you doubt Old Mr. Lorenz, look at this first."

She had come prepared.
