Chapter 690
Chapter 690:
Braden continued, his tone laced with bitterness, “I wanted Abrial out of this family not only because of Craig’s death but also because these two have recklessly angered those influential families. Now, they’ve drawn unwanted attention to our Carter family. If we don’t remove them soon, the wrath of those families will surely drag us all down with Abrial and Ashton!”
As Braden’s sudden revelation sank in, a wave of fear washed over everyone present, their faces paling.
Initially, their goal had been to expel Abrial for their own benefit, but now their tone shifted as they turned to Levi, pleading.
“Levi, it’s not easy for our family to have achieved so much. If those three major families decide to target us, we’re doomed!”
“Exactly! We need to remove Abrial from the Carter family immediately. This isn’t the time for softheartedness. We can’t let her drag the entire family down!”
Aware of the power wielded by the three dominant families, Levi felt a flicker of apprehension. As he listened to their appeals, his face grew serious, and he seemed to waver.
The others had a point—the Carter family encompassed dozens of relatives, and their business employed nearly a thousand people. Any misstep could bring hardship to them all.
Levi, though reluctant, let out a deep sigh, unable to ignore the possible consequences.
Just as he was about to respond, Ashton stepped forward with a confident smile. “Mr. Carter, I just saved your life, and you’ve already forgotten about me?”
Levi looked startled for a moment but quickly remembered Ashton’s true background. A hint of excitement lit up his expression. “Ashton, are you suggesting…?”
Ashton nodded, his smile resolute. “These so-called major families aren’t just threatening the Carter family. They’re after my company too. They’ve crossed a line, and I’m done tolerating them. I plan to dismantle their influence before they can harm us.”

He paused, letting his words sink in. “Once those three families are bankrupt, there won’t be any need for the Carter family to fear their retaliation, right?”
Ashton’s announcement left the Carter family in shock, briefly rendering them speechless. Soon after, laughter erupted among them, with Braden’s cackle ringing the loudest.
Braden scoffed, “Oh, Ashton, you really don’t know yourself at all. Do you actually think that by merely acquiring Sup Group, you’ve become the king of Staville? Let me spell it out for you—even with Sup Group and your Skyline Group’s branch combined, your market value doesn’t come close to matching our Carter family’s business! Each of the three major families holds assets in the tens of billions, easily overshadowing the Carter family. From where exactly are you drawing the confidence to say you’ll bring down the three major families?”
The other members of the Carter family nodded in agreement with Braden’s comments.
Kari gently warned, “Ashton, those three families are nearly untouchable in Staville when they unite. Even if your company and our family allied, challenging even one of them would prove tremendously challenging, let alone all three.”
