The next morning, news of Clayton Winters' car accident spread like wildfire. The Winters Family once again became the subject of gossip throughout Aethelburg.
However, the news reported in the papers was only the tip of the iceberg. The real truth behind Clayton Winters' death was never revealed, and everyone was incredibly curious about it.
The Winters Family immediately came forward with an explanation, claiming Clayton Winters' car crash was merely an accident. They said the matter was handled and that even the funeral would be a simple affair.
The incident threw both the Winters and Montague families into chaos. To make matters worse, they also had to deal with Paul Ashworth's retaliation. Although the rest of the Ashworth Family hadn't made a move, Paul Ashworth's Apex Group had taken action since early morning, continuously suppressing their subsidiaries. The various enterprises under both families suffered a significant impact as a result.
