Chapter 5
In the following days, I blocked out all external interference and focused solely on the hospital.[]
All of Elliot’s calls and messages were blocked.[]
But Isla’s Instagram posts kept updating.
The latest one showed her sitting in the driver’s seat of a brand new Porsche 911.]
The background was a luxury apartment in New York.[]
The caption read: [New beginnings, thank you for Elliot’s trust and love, looking forward to the future together.]]]
What a joke.
I wasn’t even divorced yet, and Isla was already acting like she owned everything.
Elliot probably thought cutting off funding was just my temporary tantrum.]
He likely believed that with Gray Group’s past profit accumulation and his personal abilities, he could continue operating and even start a new life with his true love.]]
He forgot who shaped Gray Group into what it is today.
I was afraid they wouldn’t be laughing much longer.[]
A few days later, my grandfather finally escaped life–threatening danger and was transferred to a regular ward.[]
When he woke up and saw me by his bedside, his tired eyes were filled with complex emotions.[]
“Lydia…” Grandfather’s voice was weak and hoarse.[]
“Grandfather, I’m here.” I held his hand tightly.[]
“Leave… leave him.” He struggled to get the words out, breathing heavily.[]
“The Stone family… cannot have such people… we absolutely cannot tolerate… bastards!“]
“Bastards?” My heart sank.
Grandfather gasped a few times.]
“That Isla… she showed your photos… said you were fooling around… said Elliot and she were truly in love… and said… she was already pregnant with
Elliot’s child!”
Violent coughing interrupted grandfather’s words. I finally understood how Isla’s photos had triggered my grandfather’s heart attack]
“Don’t worry about anything.” My voice was calm.]
“Leave everything to me. I will restore the Stone family’s dignity.“[]
Walking out of the room, I called my assistant.]]
“Notify all banks to immediately freeze all accounts of Gray Group and Elliot personally, and initiate early loan collection procedures.“[]
“Notify all suppliers and distributors we work with to immediately terminate all cooperation with Gray Group. Cancel all orders in transit – the Stone family will bear the breach of contract penalties.“]
“Initiate infringement lawsuits against all core technologies and patents of Gray Group.“[]

“Issue a statement that Stone Group and all affiliated companies will absolutely not cooperate with any company that does business with Gray Group.“]
“Also… hold a press conference. In New York, any company that dares cooperate with Gray Group is opposing the Stone family. Let them think about that.”
Isla, Elliot.
If you can survive in New York, I don’t deserve to be the Stone family heiress.[]
Elliot’s phone was ringing off the hook.
News of frozen bank accounts and canceled supplier cooperation came one after another.
“Elliot, anyone who dares cooperate with you is opposing the Stone family. In New York, we won’t anger the Stone family – good luck, figure out the payment yourself.”
“Elliot… we’ve always supported the Stone family, so you better go beg Lydia right now!“]]
Isla looked at her Instagram posts showing off sports cars and luxury apartments, then at the company about to go bankrupt, her face turning pale.[]
Her look toward Elliot changed – no longer filled with admiration for Elliot, only panic and impatience:]
“Isn’t this company yours? Aren’t you the boss? How come when you divorce Lydia, the company is finished?!“[]
Elliot’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly.[]
“Go to the Stone family…“[]
