"Livia, right? Where did you get this necklace?" Cadence asked.Livia blushed. Every woman loved gold, silver, jade, gems, and jewelry. She had wanted to talk to Cadence by using the necklace to draw her attention. Women always became friends after discussing a topic.Livia immediately smiled and said, "This is from my boyfriend. It's custom-made. There is only one of these in the whole world. If you like this, I can take it off and show it to you."Livia graciously unbuckled the necklace and passed it to Cadence.Instead of responding, the other party slammed the necklace to the ground and broke it."My necklace!" Livia paled.Cadence took out an identical necklace from beneath the seam of her dress."This necklace is named the Emerald Heart. There is only one in the country. Tell me, where did you get this one?" Cadence said with a cruel expression.The necklace was given to her by her ex-boyfriend, Jaxson. He told her it was one of a kind, representing her as his one and onl

"She's dying!" Nazeem had to raise his voice."So what? I'm going to kill her today. This is my first day here in Edren County, and she's already going against me. Who does she think she is?"Also, are you for real? I am your fiancée, yet you're taking her side?"Don't forget! Eadwig Cheston is only investing in your projects because of me!"Without me, it's only a matter of time before you Wesleys go bankrupt!"Nazeem's face darkened.Cadence was humiliating him publicly by saying that."Do you still want to protect this little bitch now?" Cadence looked at him triumphantly as if she had grasped his weakness."Throw her out. Today is my brother's engagement day. This is just unsightly." Lance waved her hand impatiently.Lance's bodyguards understood the hidden meaning behind her order. They knew Lance was trying to save Alora from a certain death.Alora would die if she remained on the scene.Several people dragged Alora out of the banquet hall.Cadence smiled arrogantly a

Everyone looked at each other and then at him as if looking at a fool."Is he crazy? He's avenging that woman?""What a good, loyal dog. Does he know this place? Does he know his target?""Even the Martert Sect and Seanic Chamber of Commerce's young heirs have come to support Miss Junkins. Who does he think he is?"The crowd broke out in chatter."Oh look, an uninvited guest." Silas sat on the sofa, twirling the wine glass in his hand."Uninvited guest? You think too highly of him. He's just a little bastard from the countryside who doesn't know what's good for him. Just treat this as an extra show. Anyway, I'm bored. His arrival does give me something to do." Torben looked vicious and menacing. No other men dared to approach him.Then, someone in the crowd recognized Ashton."Isn't that Alora's ex-husband?""What a good, loyal dog. Alora had already divorced him, and he still wanted to avenge her. Like a sheep, he blindly obeys Alora."Ashton leisurely entered the main hall.

"What?""Am I seeing this right? Torben from the Martert Sect is kneeling and begging for mercy?"The scene was so real that everyone had to rub their eyes. The heir of a famous sect kneeling for mercy from his opponent was shameful.Cadence was dumbfounded.She looked forward to Torben maiming Ashton, then breaking off his limbs. She would keep the crippled Ashton in a kennel like a dog, torturing him daily.However, Torben was begging Ashton for mercy.Who else could she count on in South Edren?Trash! All of them were nothing but trash.Ashton looked at Torben. "Aren't you going to teach me a lesson?""No, no. I spoke out of turn. I was not in my right mind. I take it back. I take it all back.""So, are you still trying to protect her?" Ashton asked with a dangerous glint in his eyes."No, no. I would not dare. That crazy woman is a cruel bitch, mutilating innocent people. She is fucked in the head, and if you kill her, you are doing a favor for society. I will never help

Howard noticed one step too late.Claire acted fast and was about to leave with the contract in her hand.However, Florence was faster. She snatched the contract from Claire's hand, tore it to pieces, and threw the shredded paper into the trash can."My daughter hasn't even woken up yet. And you're already trying to steal her company?" Florence put both hands on her waist and sneered, "Can you even run the company if we give it to you freely?""Don't mind my words. With how ignorant your family is, you'll run a small shop into the ditch in a day, much less a billion-dollar company."Gustav and Claire's expressions darkened."Are you sure you're doing this? You don't think of us as family?"Gilbert lowered his head and smoked a cigarette without saying a word.Florence slapped him. "Your brother asked you a question. Why are you not answering him?""I—""Mom, stop arguing."Alora had already woken up.Her injuries have been treated and bandaged, and her life was no longer in
