32Rex wanted to say something more, but Jessica didn’t give him a chance at all and directly took his arm."Rex, let's go in quickly. I can't wait to get to the star-viewing platform and see Serra Larissa sing!""Okay… okay!"Rex responded somewhat stiffly. At this moment, telling the truth was out of the question.After all, Jessica had brought so many friends. If he admitted the truth now, Jessica's pride would take a hit, and he'd end up humiliated as well.His only choice was to play dumb and find a way to sneak into the observatory once inside.As they were about to go in, a figure suddenly stepped into their line of sight and appeared in front of everyone.It was Veronica."Thomas, sis, you’re all here!" Seeing Thomas and Jessica, Veronica greeted them somewhat nervously.Thomas smiled. "Veronica, you finally made it. I've been waiting for you. Let’s go inside!""Go in? Go where?" Before Veronica could respond, Jessica interjected with a sharp tone."I mean, Thomas, do you have

34If it weren't for the security guard standing in front of them, Jessica was afraid she wouldn't be able to stop herself from rushing over. She just wanted to ask Thomas—where did he get the money for a party here? Did Veronica embezzle funds again?Yeah! That must be it. That damn girl must have squandered all the money she stole from the project. She was a disgrace to the family name. And the worst part? She spent it with Thomas?"Veronica, you are truly shameless!""The family trusted you to lead the project, and this is what you do? Embezzle the funds to enjoy yourself? You look good, but you’re finished. I declare that you’re completely finished! There will be no place for you in the Jaymes family from now on!" Jessica deliberately raised her voice so that everyone around could hear."Miss, keep quiet! If you make another scene, I'll have the security escort you out immediately!"The hall manager approached and spoke without politeness."I'm telling the truth! This bitch obtain

"If you get more money back in the company, you'll have to be greedy and take them. Otherwise, how do you think you'll get rich? If you really return the money, your grandmother might finally look at you differently, won't she? Also, Veronica, if we find out that you gave the money to Thomas again, don’t blame us for breaking your leg!" Yanna weighed the thorned cane in her hand.Veronica couldn't sleep until midnight. Her legs burned with pain. Even though she had treated them with alcohol and covered them with bandages, the agony wouldn't subside.She had always thought that Thomas would never bully her, that he would respect her but now it was her own family that did so.She didn't know what kind of dream she had that night, but when she woke up, her mouth was curled downward.Remembering the project meeting scheduled for today, she forced herself to get up early, washed up, and headed straight to the company office.The pricing for the new anti-cancer drug had yet to be finalized.

"I'm waiting for your news!"Thomas left the Pearl Group, worried about Veronica at the same time.The Jaymes family was truly heartless. Like a snake swallowing an elephant, their business was booming, yet they still wanted to exploit Veronica for more profit. Derek Jaymes dared to set his sights on Veronica—Thomas had made up his mind to make him regret it.Soon, news came from the Pearl Group. Fredrick had arranged everything and told Thomas to meet a powerful figure in Charlottenberg District’s underworld—a man named Julian Vladimir, the dominant force in the area.Thomas kept a low profile, instructing Fredrick not to fully reveal his identity. The situation was volatile, and exposure could lead to unnecessary trouble.He took a bus to G Building on Flower Street, Charlottenberg District. This area, also known as Entertainment Street, was notorious for its chaos. The streets were filled with local ruffians and hooligans, tattooed with dragons and phoenixes, puffing on small cigar

"Everything is all right. She has promised to talk to Gerald Abraham face-to-face tonight. I threatened her with Thomas, but the girl naively agreed. Unexpectedly, Miss Ben let her remain chaste tonight, and the scandal spread all over the Charlottenberg District and X City!""Grandma doesn’t like Veronica originally. If this happens, she will be furious. Let’s add some oil and vinegar next to her. Isn’t that a good thing?" Jessica clapped her hands with a confident and happy smile."You’re right. Gerald has some influence on West Street, and after hearing about it this morning, he is very interested in that Veronica. He’s had this idea for a long time. I’m a little worn out. He immediately agreed to our plan. After all, he’s getting a big advantage for nothing. Veronica is fair-skinned, beautiful, and alluring, and Gerald himself is a hypocrite through and through!""When we get to West Street, it’s his territory. Veronica can’t escape. We’re ready for the follow-up work!" Derek, Ter
