He never imagined that Declan Pittman, the second-generation leader of Northville Residence, would bow and apologize to Lorelai.

But this bow wasn't just a polite gesture-it. marked the beginning of the end for the Sontags. Their fate was sealed, and there was no turning back.

The room fell into stunned silence. Declan's actions were far beyond anyone's expectations.

It was clear that Northville Residence had made a major concession in this matter.

Declan straightened and then addressed Robin. "General Ramsey, Ronan's possession of the Northville Token was never intended by Northville King. I'll explain everything in detail at another time." At that moment, Robin's phone rang. The caller ID displayed Tristan, head of the Nevilles.

"Mr. Ramsey, I'm calling to clarify the Nevilles' stance. From now on, we have no further connection with the Sontags.

"If you say the word, the Nevilles are prepared to erase the Sontags from existence with a single order."

A cold chill swept over the room.

Mitchell, especially, was struck with horror.

Then, Robin's next words shattered any remaining hope.

"Tristan, go ahead. I don't want to see any trace of these sc*m left by sunrise tomorrow!"

"Understood, Mr. Ramsey. The Nevilles will move out immediately!"

Declan stood motionless, stunned by Robin's command.

The Nevilles, a renowned martial arts family, showing such deference to Robin?

It was no wonder he had risen so rapidly in the military with such power and influence.

Janelle, slow to grasp the severity of the situation, suddenly grabbed Declan's arm. "Declan, you can't let this happen! If the Nevilles really attack the Sontags, we're finished!"

Declan pushed her away, his voice cold. "So be it! The Sontags? Ha! The Draconian government has been planning an investigation into them for a long time.

"They've been involved in drugs, human trafficking, and other heinous crimes that have crossed the line in Draconia.

"Even if the Nevilles don't destroy them, the Draconian authorities would still come down hard on the Sontags!

"Stop trying to manipulate me. Northville Residence is cutting ties with the Sontags from now on!"

"Declan, how could you... "Janelle's eyes widened, disbelief evident as she stared at him, struggling to understand how quickly he had turned on thein.

Declan sneered. "Enough! Don't waste your breath. My father made it clear before we came here- Northville Residence will never protect a family like the Sontags, whose only concern is profit!" Ignoring the pain from his broken leg, Mitchell crawled toward Declan. "Decian, you can't do this! The Sontags are doomed-please, help us!

"You're the only one who can stop the Nevilles from wiping us out!

"No matter how ruthless the Nevilles are, they wouldn't dare challenge Northville Residence!"

Declan snorted. "Who do you think you're talking to? The Sontags brought this upon themselves! "Captain Roth, take Ronan back! Let's go!"

Janelle stood motionless, watching as Declan and his group walked away.

She knew it was over.

Northville Residence would no longer shield the Sontags.

In a panic, she fell to the ground before Robin. "Mr. Ramsey, please have mercy on us."*

Mitchell crawled over too. "Mr. Ramsey, I'll give you half of our family's assets. Please, spare us ...

Robin scoffed. "I remember you offering the same thing to the Nevilles just a moment ago, asking for my life in exchange for half your fortune. "Begging me for mercy is laughable!

"I don't understand forgiveness.

"Have some dignity and prepare for the end!"

"Mr. Ramsey ...

." Mitchell wailed in despair, crawling toward Robin, desperate for his life.

Ferell stepped in front of him, blocking his way. "Stop begging. Get out!"

Janelle, now completely hopeless, stood up. "Mitchell, I'm divorcing you right now!"

She turned and ran out of the hall, calling out, "Declan, wait for me! I'm from Northville Residence! I have nothing to do with the Sontags!" Onlookers watched as Janelle, frantic and disheveled, chased after Declan, shaking their heads in disbelief.noveldrama

"Mrs. Lorelai, let's go," Robin said softly, helping her up. "I had someone place Willow's ashes in Ferndale Cemetery. I'll take you there now." Lorelai's eyes filled with tears. "Mr. Ramsey, thank you."

Robin quickly steadied her before she could bow. "Mrs. Lorelai, there's no need for that. I should be the one thanking you."

Lorelai glanced up at Robin's handsome face.

For a brief moment, she was reminded of someone from the past the Young Lord Dragon.

But those days were long gone.

Tears filled her eyes as memories of happier times from 20 years ago flooded back.

As they drove to the Ferndale Cemetery, the sky grew darker, and a light drizzle began.

Robin opened an umbrella to shield her from the rain,

When they arrived at Willow's grave, Lorelai couldn't hold back any longer. Tears streamed down her face.

"Willow, I failed you. I couldn't protect you. You were abandoned, alone, and killed by those monsters. It's my fault!"

"Mrs. Lorelai, I'm really sorry for your loss," Robin said softly, standing by her side, holding the umbrella.

Jack, Flint, and Steven stood solemnly nearby, their hearts heavy with sorrow.

They could feel Lorelai's pain-a pain that was not only for Willow but for all the years she had spent hoping for a miracle.

After what felt like an eternity, Lorelai's tears finally subsided.

Robin helped her stand. "Mrs. Lorelai, it's over now. Try not to be too sad."

After a long silence, Robin spoke again. "I need to ask you something. On the night of the Dragon Manor disaster 20 years ago, did you carry a basket and save a girl?

"That girl was Young Lord Dragon's daughter, Renee."

Lorelai froze in shock.

She stared at Robin, horrified. "I-I don't know what you're talking about!"

Robin looked at her with understanding. She had kept this secret for 20 years. It would be nearly impossible for her to reveal it, especially when it concerned Young Lord Dragon's daughter's safety.

He looked at the fragile woman with admiration and gratitude.

She had kept her promise to protect Dragon Manor's bloodline.

For 20 years, she had endured, hiding her true identity, living a life full of hardship.

"Mrs. Lorelai, do you recognize this?" Robin asked, pulling out the dragon emerald pendant from his pocket.

Lorelai's eyes widened in shock as she saw the pendant.

Jack and Flint stood motionless, trembling in disbelief.

"It's the dragon emerald pendant!" Jack exclaimed.
