Chapter 274: Kens voice dripped with sarcasm.


    Even if Dad hears about todays drama, it wont change a thing.


    This is childs y at best.


    How could he ever be a threat to me? His words carried the weight of undeniable truth.


    With his current status and fortune, Ken knew he could stand tall in Ontdale, even without the Lloyd Group.


    But the Lloyd Group was his mothers legacy, and no one would be taking that from him.


    As for his negligent father, despite holding shares, Ken knew full well that Brook wouldnt dare challenge him outright.


    Releasing Novas wrist, Ken wiped his fingers with deliberate nonchnce, as though ridding himself of something foul.


    In this moment, he was eerily simr to Allison.


    Both shared a deep-seated revulsion for anything remotely repugnant.


    And as for the racing incident and that pathetic kidnapping stuntwhoever set that in motion better be ready to deal with the fallout, Ken said, his voice sharp as steel.


    Right now, this is the Lloyd familys domain.


    We dont make room for certain riffraff here.


    His expression turned cold, and his voice rang with authority.


    Jim, show them out! At Kensmand, Jim immediately summoned the bodyguards stationed outside.


    He had bitten his tongue long enough, and now, his re barely concealed his loathing for the audacious mother and son.


    Mrs.


    Lloyd, I suggest you leave on your own before we escort you out for trespassing, Jim warned.


    The bodyguards closed in, their presence radiating intimidation.


    Nova stood frozen, at a loss for words.


    She had hoped to see Ken squirm, but what she hadnt anticipated was his sheer refusal to even pretend.


    Not only had he nearly crushed her wrist, but now he was openly ordering them to leave! Humiliated and seething, Hoyt forced himself to stand.


    Ready to retaliate, he barked, Who dares to throw us out? Im the second son of the Lloyd family! If you He didnt get the chance to finish.


    With a dismissive nce from Ken, the bodyguards moved in, surrounding him.


    Second son of the Lloyd family? Kens sneer sliced through the air.


    You have the nerve to say that? As long as youre not acknowledged, youll remain little more than shadows beneath our feet.


    His eyes darkened as he added, If they wont leave on their own, then toss them out.


    Right away, sir.


    Without hesitation, the bodyguards flicked on their stun guns, the crackling sound filling the room.


    Even Floyd, usually kind and gentle in appearance, began twirling a scalpel between his fingers, a twisted grin creeping onto his face.


    You two dont need to fear dying here.


    Im generous.


    Ill make sure you walk out alive.


    Nova and Hoyt froze in terror.


    They had never expected that Allison had such a medical expert willing to get their hands dirty.


    You… Youve all lost your minds… Hoyt stammered, his voice trembling as he instinctively backed away.


    Nova, scrambling to regain herposure, added, Well leave on our own.


    But Ken, if you think you can show your true face today, be ready for Brooks wrath! Finished with the empty threats? Ken asked dryly.


    Novas expression tightened.


    She hadnt expected Ken to be so unapologetically defiant.


    Seeing the seriousness in the bodyguards eyes, she quickly helped Hoyt to his feet, and they limped their way out of the vi.


    Hoyt, still nursing his pride, shouted, You just wait! But the moment he saw the bodyguards step closer, he bolted, running like a man fleeing his own shadow.
