Chapter 880 And Yet There's Trouble
"Dad!"
Rylee rushed forward, unable to control herself.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Spike's, burying her face deep against his chest.
The fear of losing him again gripped her heart, and she couldn't bear to let go.

Spike gently ran his hand through her hair and offered a small, apologetic smile to Robin. "Master Ramsey, please excuse her."
Lucinda placed a comforting hand on her daughter's shoulder, softly reminding her, "Rylee ..."
Realizing her outburst, Rylee lowered her head, wiping the tears from her face.
She was struggling to regain control over her emotions, still reeling from the shock of having her father
back.
But she didn't loosen her grip on him, her arms stubbornly holding him as if afraid to lose him again.
Onlookers in the plaza of Delgado Tower slowly began to understand the situation.
The young man, whom Karter, the Captain of the Plemouth Guard, held in such high esteem, had come to seek justice for Lucinda and her family! The truth was now becoming clear-the Dixons and the Cravens had joined forces with business leaders and bankers to frame Delgado Enterprise. This plot had led to the tragic deaths of Travis and his wife, who had fallen from the building.
Among Plemouth's elite, everyone knew the real story.
However, it was a truth that no one had the courage to publicly acknowledge.
Despite the police's conclusion that Travis and Madelyn's deaths were a suicide, it was widely believed that the Dixons had orchestrated a murder in secret. After Travis and Madelyn died, Rylee had been sent to a psychiatric facility, Joshua had disappeared, and Dash was left on the brink of death.
A number of major Delgado shareholders withdrew, leaving Lucinda to face her grief alone.
For a time, it appeared as though the Dixon Group had triumphed.
No one expected Lucinda and her family to show up at the press conference today, much less with such powerful backing.
Could they really turn the tide? Could they seize victory against all odds?
It's hard to say.
The real mastermind behind the Dixons and the Cravens was none other than Finnley, head of the

Chapter 880 And Yet There's Trouble
He had deep ties with city officials, major banks, and even the notorious Darelin Crew.
It was clear that Lucinda and her family were up against a dangerous force.
Camden quickly pieced together what was unfolding.
The "Master Ramsey" that Karter spoke of had come to fight for the Delgados' justice.
Camden's eyes flicked to Robin, who stood surrounded by twelve intimidating men.
The atmosphere in the air felt suffocating-far more intense than anything Camden had ever experienced.
If even Plemouth's elite Karter was backing the Delgados, the odds were stacked against them.
Unless Finnley, with his vast influence over both the legal system and the criminal underworld, intervened, Delgado Enterprise had little hope.

Deciding it was best to step back, Camden silently made to retreat, leaving the situation in his father and Finnley's hands.
However, two of Plemouth's guards stepped in front of him.
"Stop! Master Ramsey has given orders that no one may enter or leave!"
A cold sweat broke out on Camden's forehead. "What gives you the right to stop me?"
Before he could speak further, the guards pulled out their guns, their postures stiff and menacing. "Master Ramsey has given us full authority to take action against anyone who tries to interfere with today's events!" Camden froze.
He could feel the deadly tension in the air.
The guards' message was unmistakable: If he tried to move, they wouldn't hesitate to shoot.
Realizing he had no choice, Camden stopped and quickly came up with a plan, reaching for his phone to make a call.
But the guards quickly grabbed it from his hands.
"I can't even make a call?" Camden snapped, frustration evident in his voice.
"No," one of the guards answered coldly.
Camden was left speechless. "What are you doing?"
"We're just following orders," the guards replied, ignoring him completely.
An eerie quiet fell over the plaza, only broken by the screech of brakes at the perimeter.
Madden and Finnley were escorted through the crowd by their bodyguards, heading straight for Camden.
"Camden, what's happening?" Madden wiped sweat from his forehead, his voice filled with urgency,

Finnley's eyes narrowed, scanning the scene with a sense of foreboding.
Yet, with his vast network of powerful allies, he remained outwardly composed.
This was Plemouth, after all.

No matter how powerful the newcomers, Finnley was confident that no one would dare challenge the influence of the Dixons or the Cravens.
And as head of the Plemouth Business Alliance, Finnley knew the local underworld and law enforcement would be quick to back him up if anyone dared cross him here.
Camden nodded toward Robin and whispered, "Dad, Mr. Sablan, is that the person Karter was referring to as 'Master Ramsey'?
"They're the ones who attacked Lily. And when they arrived, they immediately took control of the situation."
At that moment, a short, stocký man in his forties stepped forward from behind the crowd, greeting the group. "You're here, Mr. Sablan, Mr. Madden."
Everyone turned to see him, immediately recognizing him as Carl, the underground kingpin of Plemouth and leader of the Darelin Crew.
Carl laughed with Finnley and Madden, his casual demeanor lightening the tense atmosphere.
"Heh, Carl, what's going on here?" Finnley smirked, glancing at Robin. "A grand press conference, and yet there's trouble? Looks like someone's trying to stir up some chaos in Plemouth!"

Carl chuckled. "Mr. Sablan, with our men here, no one's causing any problems. They're underestimating us, aren't they? Haha...

Finnley smiled and nodded. "Alright, let's go see what's happening."
Finnley, Carl, and Madden, surrounded by their bodyguards, moved toward Karter, Robin, and the others.
"Captain Lynch, It's the press conference to announce the Dixon Group has taken over Delgado Enterprise, and I see you've come to maintain order. I appreciate it," Finnley said with mock politeness.
"I'd like to assure your guards that the Plemouth Business Alliance will contribute a billion to improve the Plemouth Guard's equipment and living conditions."
Carl and Madden quickly chimed in, each offering a billion.
The room burst into applause.
Finnley's words and actions made his superiority clear
He moved forward to shake Karter's hand, but Karter's eyes remained cold as he scanned the group.
"Mr. Sablan, you're mistaken," Karter said flatly. "I'm not here to maintain order for your press conference. I've been ordered to carry out official duties."
Finnley burst into laughter. "Captain Lynch, you do have a sense of humor.

Lucinda scoffed, her voice dripping with contempt. "Finnley, did you really think I agreed to you taking control of Delgado Enterprise?"
