Chapter 528:
“Yolanda! Stop begging her!” Brendon finally stood, his voice burning with anger. He shot a glare at Christina. Begging her was pointless. She was just a caregiver who worked for the Scott family. She couldn’t change Dylan’s mind. “You deserved to be forced to walk out with nothing, Christina. You forced my hand!” he growled.
Christina let out a sharp, bitter laugh. “Funny. I should be the one saying that to you.” Her eyes narrowed. “You broke your promise first. I only hit back.”
Brendon’s voice was firm, trying to stay composed. “Join me for a press conference immediately. Publicly claim those recordings are fake, and I’ll pay you the amount we originally agreed on.”
Christina’s expression turned icy. “Too late,” she said coldly. “I’d rather walk away without a penny than let you get away with this.”
The truth was the Dawson Group had already suffered losses far greater than the amount Brendon had promised her. And the shares she had secured after the stock price nosedive? They were worth much more than his offer. She would claim her rightful money while ensuring Brendon would suffer significant losses. Agreeing to lie at the press conference would be foolish. Brendon was delusional if he thought he could still manipulate her at this point.
“Christina… Be angry at me if you want, but why drag Brendon into this? You love him… How can you let him suffer like this?” Yolanda choked out, her voice trembling through her sobs as she once again attempted to ruin Christina’s image in Brendon’s heart just to ensure they would never get back together.
Christina’s face hardened, her brows furrowing in annoyance.
Dylan, who had been watching Christina intently, caught the flicker of irritation in her eyes. Without hesitation, he turned slightly and spoke with chilling calm. “Edwin.”
The moment Edwin heard Dylan’s tone, he knew what needed to be done. With swift, practiced precision, he stepped forward.
Smack! The loud slap echoed through the room. Yolanda staggered, stunned, tears spilling from her eyes. “You—” Smack! “Brendon—” Smack!
Yolanda fell silent.

Smack!
Realizing that every time she opened her mouth, she received a slap, Yolanda fell silent, but another slap still followed. She couldn’t understand and protested, “I didn’t even say anything! Why are you still hitting me?” Her voice trembled as tears streamed down her cheeks.
Edwin gave a light chuckle and shrugged. “Ah… My bad. Guess I got a little carried away. Couldn’t stop myself, you know?”
“You—” Yolanda was so furious that her whole body shook. It felt like steam could shoot out of her ears at any second.
Brendon immediately stepped forward and pulled her behind him protectively. He shot Dylan a furious glare. “Mr. Scott, are you seriously doing all this for a mere caregiver?”
Dylan’s gaze turned sharp, his tone frosty. “I already said the whole Scott family has Miss Jones’ back. That means she’s not someone you can insult and walk away from.”
Brendon’s expression darkened. He hadn’t expected Dylan to defend Christina so fiercely. Maybe it was for Chloe’s sake. The Scott family treated Chloe like a treasure, so it made sense Dylan would protect her caregiver.
