Chapter 164
For a moment, everyone’s attention was on Keegan, and the camera directly pointed at his face.
Even in the Vaughn family living room, the atmosphere was tense. Mason and the others felt like they could hardly breathe.
It was over. The Clarke family made such a public statement that the Vaughn family was finished.
But they knew it was not the end…
Keegan on TV had a serious face. He looked at the camera and said seriously, “The new president of Clarke Group is Mr. Patrick Clarke.”
There was a collective gasp from the audience.
Patrick Clarke they knew was a celebrated actor and the founder of Macroft Group.
Then who was this Patrick Clarke? Did they have the same name:
“Mr. Clarke is an award–winning actor who has starred in numerous films and is the founder of Macroft Group. Now he has another identity, the Clarke family’s fourth heir and Clarke Group’s president.”
Keegan continued, “A month ago, the collaboration between Clarke Group and Mr. Payne was personally negotiated by Mr. Clarke. Over the past month, Mr. Clarke has overhauled the Clarke Group internally. We hope you will continue to support Clarke Group.”
Everyone was shocked. ‘The room is full of reporters. Why didn’t they catch wind of such news? Oh my god, the Clarke family is incredibly good at keeping secrets!’
Immediately, a reporter asked, “As the fourth heir of the Clarke family, why did Mr. Clarke enter the entertainment industry? Isn’t it true that wealthy and aristocratic families have always looked down on acting?”
Keegan said, “When we were young, people always asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Some wanted to be scientists, some wanted to be doctors, some wanted to sell pancakes, some wanted to be a farmer, some didn’t want to work… and some wanted to act.
“Mr. Clarke is someone who has loved acting since he was a child and he has achieved remarkable results since entering the industry. Later, because of his love for the AI intelligence industry, he founded Macroft Group. Now that he has been experienced for long enough, it is the right time for him to return to the Clarke family and take charge of the Clarke Group.”
This time, Keegan didn’t wait for questions.
He continued, “Another point to add, and the most important one is that after Patrick’s return to the Clarke family, the perfumer Francis, also known as Juliette, heir of the Vaughn family, is the wife of the fourth heir of the Clarke family and the hostess of the Clarke Group.”
He acknowledged both Patrick’s and Juliette’s identities.
However, Keegan quickly changed the subject.
“Mrs. Clarke was previously heir to the Vaughn family, but because of the Vaughn family’s various actions that have harmed her, both Mr. and Mrs. Clarke stated that they will never forgive the Vaughn family! From now on, the Clarke family and the Vaughn family will have no further contact! This is not anger, but an attitude of dignity, and we hope you all understand.”

Chapter 164
Keegan’s words were implying, ‘Anyone who wants to go after the Vaughn family, go ahead, don’t hesitate!‘
Those bigwigs sitting in front of their TVs, paying attention to this press conference, were about to give the green light to the Vaughn family’s projects.
But now they were all in silence.
The Vaughn family has completely offended the first wealthy family, the Clarkes.
They even severed ties with their biological daughter.
Keegan’s words were very clear; the two sides were enemies.
In this case, no one would dare to approve the Vaughn family.
Even if the Vaughn family could have passed originally, they would now be stuck and delayed.

However, everyone now understands that when the Vaughn family revealed that they were related to the Clarkes, they were referring to the fact that their eldest daughter married Patrick.
It was hilarious. With their relationship like this, how dare they still try to cling to the Clarkes?
[So, when the Vaughn family forced their eldest daughter to marry Finn, they didn’t expect that she would turn to choose the wealthiest family, the Clarkes, right?]
Okay, I now announce to everyone that the Vaughn family is finished.]
[I really couldn’t understand why the Vaughn family insisted on marrying their eldest daughter to Finn when the scandalous video of him and Bianca was exposed. Now they are suffering the consequences, aren’t they?]
[Those who do evil will be punished! Mason and Evan were all stupid! Even if Juliette didn’t marry, her value would be higher than Bianca’s!]
[The Vaughn family’s behavior is truly perplexing. They chose to nurture their adopted daughter and trample on their biological daughter. In the end, their biological daughter is more capable than their adopted daughter. The Vaughns must be regretting now, right?]
[Is it possible that heir is not Mason’s biological child?]
[It seems possible that she’s not their biological daughter. I feel like Mason and his wife are not intelligent enough to give birth to a genius perfumer.]
The Vaughn family was severely mocked for both their actions and their intelligence.
The Clarke Group’s press conference also came to an end.
The Vaughns sat neatly together on the sofa, their bodies close to each other. Their faces were pale, and they couldn’t help
but tremble.
Mason and his family were mentally prepared.
Isla had the most intense reaction.
She slid off the sofa, landing on her knees with her whole body feeling weak. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Her gaze moved from Evan to Mason, then to Polly, and finally to Bianca. She noticed that their faces were ashen, and they were speechless.
Suddenly, she went mad. She crawled toward Juliette on her knees, was to grab Juliette’s leg. But the bodyguards
stopped her and didn’t allow her to approach.
Isla could only kneel a few inches away from Juliette, tears streaming down her face.
“Juliette, do you remember when we went to the haunted house together when we were little? I was so scared that I couldn’t walk, and you carried me on your back and ran. You must have loved me as your younger sister very much then, right?”
Juliette just looked at her without even frowning.
“Then do you remember that I liked to eat lobsters, and you always saved the biggest and most beautiful one for me?”
Juliette’s expression remained unchanged.
Isla panicked even more and cried even harder. “Juliette, you watched me grow up. You are five years older than me. When I was little, I was most attached to you. I wouldn’t sleep at night unless I was next to you. I am your most beloved younger sister, right?
“When we were young, you were the one who bathed and washed my hair. I wouldn’t let the nanny or mom do it for me. We had the best relationship when we were little.”
Juliette looked at her indifferently, and finally said, “So?”
‘So?‘ Isla was stunned.
‘So, could you please let the Vaughn family and me go for the sake of growing up together and being close when we were young?‘
Isla didn’t have time to speak.
Patrick said, “So, can you ask for everything from her unscrupulously? Do you want to take everything from her? From dolls to toys, to people who are good to her, you have to rob them all You use the most selfish behavior to repay her kindness to you?”
Patrick was leisurely but cold.
