Chapter 46 

With that, the two security guards slammed the heavy iron gates of the estate shut with a resounding clang. 

Caleb’s fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. 

Well played, Nova. Well played, Donald family! 

To push things to such an absolute extreme! 

Fuming with resentment, Caleb got back into his car and drove off. Watching his vehicle speed away into the distance, a deeply satisfying wave of vindication washed over Nova. 

He couldn’t even handle this minor level of humiliation? 

The real suffering hadn’t even started yet. 

That evening, when Mr. and Mrs. Donald returned from work and heard about Caleb’s little stunt, their expressions darkened considerably. 

“That boy actually had the nerve to come to our home and cause a scene!” 

Mr. Donald was too furious to even eat, slamming his silverware down onto the dining table. 

Nova immediately tried to soothe him. “Dad, don’t be mad. If it bothers you that much, we can just hang a sign on the gate next time: ‘Caleb Langdon and dogs not allowed.” 

Hearing this, Mr. Donald’s expression finally softened a fraction. “You and your nonsense.” 

“But really, their family has crossed the line. How could they act like this?” 

Mrs. Donald let out a heavy sigh. 

She had treated Caleb so well over the years, only to find out he was an ungrateful wretch who would stab them in the back without a second thought. 

Seeing that the emotional groundwork was perfectly laid, Nova spoke up. “Mom, Dad. I remember you mentioning that Caleb’s father invested in our company, and we also hold shares in The Langdon Corporation, right?” 

“Yes, that’s correct.” 

“I heard from some classmates that the Langdons are struggling heavily right now. I figured, since we’ve completely cut ties with them, why don’t we have the lawyers buy back the shares they hold in our business? We can frame it as giving them a financial lifeline. But in return, we’ll force them to buy out our shares in their company too.” 

Nova knew perfectly well that her father was deeply soft-hearted. Even though he was resolved not to bail them out right now, there was always a chance he might cave in the future.

Moreover, the shares the Langdons held in the Donald family business paid out millions of dollars in dividends every month. That passive income alone was giving them enough breathing room to survive. 

What Nova wanted was to ensure the Langdon family could never rise from the ashes again. 

She wanted them to experience the sheer despair of total destitution. 

Mr. Donald clearly considered it seriously before nodding. “You have a point. Since our families are no longer associated, we need to completely liquidate our financial ties.” 

Seeing her father agree, a massive weight lifted off Nova’s chest. 

After all, when the Langdons inevitably crashed, she couldn’t let her father take a total loss on his investments with them. Cashing out now was the best way to cut their losses and cleanly sever their relationship with the corporation. 

Furthermore, Nova remembered from her past life that the Langdons’ crisis wasn’t just a simple bankruptcy-it was a catastrophic mountain of debt. Back then, she had already married Caleb, and because their families’ assets were intertwined, the Donald family had been forced to bleed themselves dry to save them. 

This time around, Caleb would have to survive entirely on his own. 

Throughout the dinner, Alaric remained unusually silent. 

Nova noticed his somber mood. It was incredibly rare to see Alaric wear such a heavy expression. 

After dinner, Nova followed him upstairs and asked gently, “Alaric, are you upset about something?” 

Stopping in the middle of the second-floor hallway, Alaric turned to her and asked quietly, “Do you care a lot about the Langdon family?”
