The officers cheered inwardly at Brooks' declaration. They were finally rid of their annoying chief. Only the city council could fire a police chief, and no one would dare question Brooks' decision in Lumithorn.Niall felt an intense tremor throughout his body, resulting in him falling to his knees and hugging Brooks' legs."Sir, I've never wronged you! I've always been loyal all this time. My daughter is guilty, but please give her one chance," Niall begged tremblingly.Without mercy, Brooks kicked Niall. "You think I don't know how your daughter behaves? You're always using your power to correct her mistakes. But I kept quiet because I thought it would get better!""Renee's been stubborn since childhood, so I can't even control her. Don't fire me for her attitude because I had nothing to do with it!""Everything is your fault for not being able to educate Renee properly. Please don't waste my time listening to your begging. I won't change my mind."At the sight of Brooks walking awa

"Grandpa, don't think about what Cassian and Elara said. They want to make Brandon's name bad," Olivia said, trying hard to persuade Scott to forget Elara's words.However, Scott could no longer ignore Elara because he knew Brandon was obsessed with becoming a gangster. "Do you have any proof for your words?" he asked."I don't, but I'm sure I saw Brandon hanging out with thugs," Elara replied without stammering, even though she was lying.She did not see Brandon hanging out with anyone. But the lie would make Brandon's parents panic because they knew their son had run away to become a gangster."This is slander because Elara has no accurate evidence," Thomas scolded, glancing at Samuel. "Can't you teach your daughter properly? She's always getting into trouble!""Instead of getting angry like this, we should just prove Brandon's innocence," Emily said, giving her husband the code through her eyes.Thomas turned to Scott. "Dad, I told you that Brandon is studying with a friend from out

At Evergreen Aesthetic Clinic, Aveline stared at her face in the mirror with sparkling eyes. She had just spent over a million dollars on her facial treatment."Are you satisfied with the results?" the beautician asked.Aveline did not answer, still stuck to the reflection of her beautiful face. After negotiations, her grandfather's estate sold for ten million.Since she got the money, she had been having beauty treatments at Evergreen, owned by the Forrest family. The clinic rose to fame seven years ago thanks to a fantastic innovation."I didn't expect the blemishes on my face and even my pores to disappear quickly," Aveline murmured, rubbing her smooth and radiant face. She looked like a different person.The beautician smiled proudly. "Many celebrities get treatment here because the results are satisfactory. The high price is worth the stunning results, right?""Yes, I agree. I've been treated at other clinics, and the results weren't as good!""Treatment at regular clinics takes

Elara's sadness seemed so real that people were empathetic with her. Some of them already knew how Samuel was treated in the West family."I condemn Thomas West's dishonorable actions. WBL will take legal action on this matter!" Landon announced.Thomas was quick to refute the troublemakers' words. "They are making me a scapegoat. Believe me, I wouldn't do that to my own brother!""What are they lying for? There's nothing to gain. It will only increase their punishment.""I don't know, but clearly, they're accusing me. They have to provide evidence to show that I did it!"The journalists took note of Thomas' statement. One criticized him, "You must be jealous of the great cooperation Samuel received. That's why you're trying to destroy his new product!""Don't you know that you're slandering me? Wait until you get the proof," Thomas said without nervousness.Elara narrowed her eyes suspiciously. So far, Thomas had always managed to save himself from the crimes he had committed.There

The case against the Starling family had kept Olivia up all night. She was grateful that Scott had tried to hide the case from others, but Elara had brought it up again.Now, Olivia had three problems. Her brother became a thug, her boyfriend's family was scandalized, and her mother was arrested in front of many people.It was no wonder that she was feeling so depressed. Her temper exploded, and she raised her hand to slap Elara."You damn cousin!"Thwack!Cassian slapped Olivia's hand away before it could hit Elara's face. "Your cousin was just sympathizing with you, but you tried to hit her?" he criticized.People agreed with Cassian's words. Their impression of Olivia had decreased after learning that she was Emily's daughter."The West family is a mess. How could the daughter-in-law do such a cruel thing?""She's trying to get rid of her brother-in-law to protect her husband. What a crazy woman!"People's snide whispers made Olivia's ears burn. She could not stand being humiliated
