As they looked at Felix again, everyone felt his presence seem more towering andmanding, inspiring an almost reverential awe. His ability to summon the support of two major powers was unprecedented.


    George and Ryan remained dumbfounded, their previous misconceptions about Felix shattered by this stunning revtion.


    Meanwhile, Dominic swallowed his pride with remarkable speed. There was no doubt that his adaptability was what led the Walsh family to such heights.


    He said smoothly, "Ah, Mr. Zeller, about your connection to Ms. Coop


    ly there''s been a misunderstanding. If I had known. would never have agreed to this marriage!"


    Heughed nervously, aware that the room understood his abrupt change in tone. Nheless, with Dragon Alliance and Moonshadow Alliance backing Felix-not just in name but with their most influential figures present-Dominic knew he could not win. Even if the Walsh family exhausted every connection, their downfall would be inevitable within a month. Survival was all that mattered now; his pride could wait.


    Felix kept his eyes fixed on Yvonne. "I have no special rtionship with Ms. Cooper, and she''s just a dear friend. I''m here today only to give her the right to choose her own happiness."


    His voice was steady, though his tone carried a hint of resignation. Yvonne was fiercely loyal, and despite everything, she viewed her life as belonging to N, who had given her everything.


    Felix only hoped that after today, Yvonne could finally break free and live on her terms without being used as a pawn in someone else''s game.


    At the altar, Yvonne was crying uncontrobly. She had never imagined that Felix would wield such influence on her behalf.


    "Yes, yes, of course," Dominic announced hastily. "Everyone, I sincerely apologize-the wedding is canceled!"


    Michael stood silently beside Yvonne, his mood darkening as he recognized Felix from their encounter at The Nightowl the previous night. The difference in their positions had be devastatingly clear in just 24 hours.


    "Dominic!" Felix spoke again. "Whatever agreement you''ve made with Lady N can proceed as nned. In exchange, I''ll spare Finnley''s life."


    Dominic froze in shock as he realized even Finnley had offended such a powerful figure. Then, he saw Finley rushing forward and fell to his knees before Felix.


    "Thank you, Mr. Zeller, for your mercy. Thank you so much!" His voice cracked with desperation.


    The memory of his earlier threats and taunts toward Felix filled him with shame and terror. Since Felix was giving him a chance, Finnley naturally grasped onto it. Besides, he knew Dominic would be fine with sacrificing some of his interests in exchange for Felix''s mercy. Sure enough, Dominic agreed with a bitter smile, "We''ll proceed as Mr. Zeller suggests. My arrangement with N remains valid, and I''m grateful for your leniency toward Finnley."


    Felix nodded and stepped forwar


    tending his right hand. "Yvonne, aren''t youing?"


    Just as Yvonne wiped her tears and started moving toward him, N''s voice cut through the silence. "Her fate isn''t yours to decide!" 1
