Chapter 471: Lilith waved at Brenna, unaware of what was about to happen. Brenna returned a polite smile. She suspected her mother had forced Ernst to date Lilith.
Seeing Ernst with Lilith made Brenna curious. Where was Sabine? Had she and Ernst broken up? She made a mental note to ask Ernst about this later.

Jayceon sauntered forward and said, "Since when do you get to make the rules?" A cold smile tugged at Ethan's lips. That was exactly what he wanted to say.
Ernst stepped forward. "Yeah, we're all important figures here. Why should we listen to you?" Neither he nor Jayceon bothered to hide their contempt. After all, they had already decided not to cooperate with Jade on business.
Lilith edged closer to Brenna. "Are they really going to race? I've heard stories about this place. Many people chere to race." "Yes. And Ernst should've known better than to bring you here," Brenna muttered, glancing at the treacherous curves ahead. "It's too dangerous." Denis thought differently from the rest.

Brenna studied her nails. "You are indeed clever, Miss Hewitt. Setting the four powerful families against each other. Letting us bleed for scraps off your table while you sit back and reap the rewards."
She fixed a sharp gaze on Jade and sneered, "Do you really think you're being generous by doing this? You must have ulterior motives, Miss Hewitt. The Ward family doesn't play clean. The moment someone accepts your gift, their cargo gets flagged. They'll be in trouble soon. "} Ethan nodded, appreciating Brenna's insight. She was a finance graduate with her own studio. When it cto matters like this, she noticed what others missed.
He turned to Jade and said, "If the Ward family really wants to work with Vanland enterprises, they could just open a tender. Why all the theatrics? Something's fishy."
