Chapter 739 He Has Been Abandoned
Dylan rarely visited Chandler’s place. He had long since stepped back from the family business, leaving the affairs of the Aniston family mostly unattended.
For him to show up in person meant something serious had happened.
Chandler wasn’t the least bit surprised to see him.
Dylan snapped, “For Meryl, you’re willing to go against the Aniston family? Do you have any idea who you’re messing with? The Powell family isn’t to be trifled with. How could you act so recklessly, Chandler? This isn’t like you.”
Dylan had only entrusted Galaxy Holdings Group to Chandler because of his steady and cautious nature. For the past two years, Chandler had never made a single misstep.
But last night, he had acted on his own accord and openly clashed with the Powell family.
If it had been a matter of fair competition, Dylan would’ve been okay with it.
But Chandler had deliberately disrupted the market–offeri sky–high wages to poach the Powell family’s construction
Chapter 739 He Has Been Abandoned workers right off their sites.
2/7
By morning, multiple Powell construction projects had ground to a halt due to a lack of workers.
As soon as the stock market opened, shares of several Powell–affiliated companies took a nosedive.
When Dylan caught wind of the situation, he was furious. Not only did this put them at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion, but morally, they had no leg to stand on.
Besides, the Powell family had never played clean in the past.
And as the saying goes–better to offend a gentleman than cross a scoundrel. Who knew what kind of underhanded tricks they might pull in retaliation?
But Chandler’s expression remained indifferent. His tone was just as cold. “This is my business. Stay out of it.”
Dylan’s face darkened. “What did you just say?”
Chandler didn’t bother answering. Instead, he turned to Walter and ordered, “See him out.”
“You-” Dylan was in utter disbelief.
“Haven’t you already stepped down? Haven’t you handed the Aniston family over to me?”
Chandler’s face remained impassive. “Since you’ve chosen to
Chapter 739 He Has Been Abandoned
retire, then mind your own business. Don’t interfere in my affairs.”

Dylan was shaking with rage, his hands trembling as he glared at Chandler. “Good for you!”
He thought, Like mother, like son. Years ago, Chandler’s mother threw everything away for a man. And now Chandler is being just as reckless.
Dylan’s voice was thick with disappointment. “What do you even gain from antagonizing the Powell family? How can you be so irrational?”
Chandler had no interest in continuing the conversation. “Walter.”
Without hesitation, Walter grabbed the handles of Dylan’s wheelchair and pushed him out the door.
Dylan had lived a long life, but he had never been treated this way before. The sheer humiliation was suffocating.
But he had come to understand Chandler’s temperament over the years.
He smirked, “Even if you find her, what then? She wants nothing to do with you–you think you can keep her by force?”
Dylan had been there before.
Back then, he had tried to keep Chandler’s mother by his side.
Chapter 739 He Has Been Abandoned
And what did he get in return? Only news of her death.
Chandler didn’t want to hear it anymore.
The doors shut behind Dylan, sealing the room in silence.

He then pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a slow drag.
The smoke curled around him, blurring his expression. But beneath it all, his eyes were dark, fathomless–so deep they felt suffocating.
A few minutes later, Walter returned. “Mr. Aniston, he’s gone.”
Chandler stubbed out his cigarette. “To Powell Manor.”
Half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of Powell Manor. Chandler remained in the backseat as Walter stepped out and knocked on the gate.
Once their purpose was stated, it wasn’t long before Keith emerged with a group of men, their expressions hostile.
Clearly, the Powell family was already well aware of what had occurred last night.
Keith frowned. “Mr. Aniston, what exactly has my family done to offend you for you to target us like this?”
Chandler leaned back against the car seat, his face unreadable The tinted window rolled down slowly, revealing his cold,

flawless features,
Despite the palpable tension, Chandler remained unfazed,

His deep eyes flickered slightly as he uttered just three words, “Hand over Felix,”
His meaning was clear–Felix was the one who had crossed him.
Hearing that, Keith exchanged glances with the others.
Beside him, Christopher seized the opportunity to stir the pot.
Leaning in, he whispered, “Father, Felix must’ve done something to provoke Chandler. That bastard has already caused our stocks to plummet this morning. He’s nothing but trouble. We should just hand him over before we bring the Aniston family’s full wrath upon us.”
Keith remained silent for a few moments.
Chandler wasn’t someone to take lightly. He had a background in law enforcement, and given the Powell family’s murky history, it was best not to make an enemy of him.
Miranda chimed in, “Felix just got out of the hospital, and he’s already making a mess? I knew that kid was nothing but trouble.”
Hearing this, Keith finally relented. He turned to a servant and ordered, “Go bring Felix here.”
Chapter 739 He Has Been Abandoned The servant scurried off.

Soon, Felix was wheeled out. His face was pale, still recovering from his injuries.
Keith wasted no time distancing himself from the mess. “Mr. Aniston, here he is. Do whatever you want with him. As for the Powell family-”
Chandler’s voice was icy. “He’s the only one I have a problem with.”
The Powell family didn’t particularly care about why Felix had provoked Chandler. The important thing was that this was Felix’s mess alone.
Hearing that, Keith felt relieved.
In his eyes, Felix had been nothing but a burden, dragging the entire family down with him.
Keith shot him a cold glare. “Then he’s all yours.”
With that, Keith turned and led the rest of the Powell family back inside, leaving Felix behind without hesitation.
Only then did Chandler finally step out of the car. His polished black leather shoes hit the ground as he strode forward, his imposing presence making the air feel suffocating.
Felix sat in his wheelchair, looking up at him with an indifferent expression as if he couldn’t care less what Chandler planned to
Chapter 739 He Has Been Abandoned do.
Their gazes locked, and the air felt tighter.
Nearby, Philip clenched the wheelchair handles tightly and thought,

He had a hard time digesting the fact that Felix was abandoned Just like that, his own family cast him aside without a second thought.
Philip shot Chandler a glare filled with resentment, ready to bolt at the first sign of danger.
Walter, noticing his movement, stepped forward and yanked him back.
Chandler’s voice was calm, but chilling. “Where is Meryl?”
