Unease Spreads Among All

In the span of a single hour, news that the Sweeney Group had been seized and that John Sweeney and his daughter had been taken for investigation swept across the internet.

Mrs. Louise was enjoying afternoon tea with other ladies when her butler hurriedly approached her. "Madam!"

"What is it?" Mrs. Louise glanced at the butler with a hint of displeasure at his sudden intrusion.

The butler pursed his lips, glancing nervously at the other ladies present.

Seeing his hesitant demeanor, Mrs. Louise politely excused herself and followed the butler to a quiet corner. "Speak. What has happened?"

Ever since Yvonne had been sent abroad, Mrs. Louise had grown lax. Perhaps she had endured enough humiliation to become indifferent to it.

The butler studied her expression carefully before speaking with caution, "The Sweeney Group has been seized. Mr and Miss Sweeney have been taken for investigation. The news is all over the internet."

"What?!" Mrs. Louise's voice rose sharply.
