"I'm sorry for what my sister did yesterday. And... I know you didn’t prepare a gift for Grandma. Luckily, I used that money to get one for you. You can present it during the gifting hour and act normal. Your reputation isn’t great right now, Thomas. Everyone is waiting to mock you. You have to be strong if you want to pull through this. My sister will definitely be among those who will do everything in their power to ruin your image, but I'm sure after receiving Grandma's praises, they will see you in a new light." Hearing those words, Thomas felt touched. His heart warmed, even in such a dark family that took pleasure in mocking him, there was a girl who cared about him to no end. She was like a light in the darkness, a flower that had no place in such a toxic environment—too precious for a family like this. As she was about to hand over the gift, Thomas's gaze drifted to her wrist and noticed that it was bare. His brows furrowed. "Vero, where's your wrist bangle? Don't tell me yo

Looking at this, Thomas felt strange but didn’t say anything as he waited.“Bring the next gift,” Grandma suddenly said, and the door servant, Mr. Pigalora, walked forward and, with a bow, handed over the gift wrapped in expensive-looking nylon, which Grandma casually tore apart before grabbing the jade seal. Looking at it carefully, Grandma flipped it over and over, examining it from the tiniest details to the top as her expression turned from casual to overly serious. She even requested her eyeglasses and wore them before continuing to inspect it.This made everyone feel strange, especially since it was taking more than a minute already.Wait, don’t tell me that the useless Thomas’s gift is indeed a real one, which is why Grandma can’t believe it and keeps looking at it more and more?Most of them thought inwardly as their hearts skipped a beat. Suddenly, Grandma pulled her eyeglasses off and looked at Thomas with an expression of seriousness for a brief moment before saying, “Thoma

The moment Thomas Tudor took out the Qing Dynasty Emperor Jade Seal, something immediately felt off—it was far too ancient, far too exquisite.This wasn’t just any antique. This was a relic tied to the bloodline of emperors.Absolutely priceless.The reason Thomas bought this was that he, Thomas had assumed that after receiving such an artifact, Old Miriam would be overjoyed.But he hadn’t expected that the Jaymes Family’s ignorance ran so deep. Not only did they fail to recognize its value, but they wanted to throw out the very person who had handed them a piece of history.Even worse, Jessica Jaymes—this arrogant, delusional woman—wanted to smash it. Smash an imperial relic?She must be a fool!A million, just for a jade seal?The entire hall went dead silent. The weight of their foolishness pressed down like an executioner’s blade.Especially on Old Miriam. Her aged, wrinkled face twisted in pain. She had publicly humiliated Thomas Tudor, mocking the very relic that could make muse

After hanging up the phone, old lady Jaymes was so angry that she trembled."Inform Jessica that the cooperation with Graymer Group is canceled, and her position as project leader is gone." After a brief silence, old Miriam uttered the words.At this moment, Jessica and her family had just opened a bottle of Lafite wine worth 5,000 or 6,000 dollars. The three of them sat together, drinking."Veronica, you secretly went to help that Thomas. We know you're also our daughter, so we won’t harm you, but consider this a warning—stay away from that man. Although your future is hard to compare with your sister’s, you can still marry into a wealthy family and enjoy a life of prosperity.""Thomas is already suffering enough. Why do you have to treat him like this?" Veronica’s voice was barely above a whisper."I'm in a good mood today, so you better not mention his name." Jessica’s face turned cold, making Veronica flinch in fear.Just then, a loud knock came from the door."Who is it?" Yanna B

Veronica didn’t know what had happened. When she left the dormitory and went downstairs to see her sister and Rex, she subconsciously felt uneasy, especially when Jessica approached with a murderous aura—it was terrifying."Come on, what trick did you use? How did you snatch the project leader position from me? I never knew you had such skills after all these years. Have you grown up so much that your wings have hardened?""Sister, I... I don’t know what you’re talking about," Veronica quickly shook her head."You don’t know what I’m talking about? Hah! I can’t believe you’re still pretending in front of me. You’re now the project leader of the Jaymes Family and Graymer Group—don’t you know that?" Jessica sneered, her tone dripping with sarcasm. This girl was a master at acting innocent. How could she not know about such a huge development?"I really don’t know. After I left home, I met Brother Thomas. He sent me to school, and then you called me. How could I possibly know about this?
