Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 12: "Please, tell my granddaughter and her friend to step in."
"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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 13: Fake Painting
While everyone was jealous of Jessica and Rex, who were called into the hall, Thomas, who had finally arrived, calmly walked past most of the people, ignoring the piercing gazes and whispers behind him as he approached the door servant who announced the gifts brought for the birthday party and their owners.Calmly, he presented his gift and its net worth to the door servant, who looked at it and frowned before looking back at Thomas. His expression moved from curiosity to disdain."Aren't you the live-in son-in-law? You? Bringing such a gift? Are you sure it's not a counterfeit? Grandma will obviously be pissed if she ever finds out you want to use a fake gift to scam her and win her favor. After all," he paused, his expression turning into one of ridicule before adding, "your reputation is as good as dog shit."Hearing his words, Thomas’s expression turned a bit colder. Even a door servant dares to speak to him this way? Oh! How far had he fallen.He lamented inwardly before saying w
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 14: DIVORCE IS WHAT YOU WANT! DIVORCE IS WHAT YOU GET!
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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 15: Surprise?
Thomas shook his fist. At this time, he couldn't understand the idea of old Miriam.Why doesn't old Miriam know that Rex Xavier's "The Bright Moon In The Sea" is false?Why can't old Miriam see that his Qing Dynasty Emperor Jade is true?But what's the point of all this?It doesn't matter whether something is true or false!The important thing is, the giver!He was only the superfluous son-in-law of the Jaymes Family. His status in the Jaymes Family was not even as good as a dog. Even if he gave old Miriam gold today, she would still call it trash.Rex Xavier was Jessica's boyfriend, the heir of the Xavier family, and a typical rich second generation. He could give old Miriam a worthless piece of junk, and she would still say it was gold.Thomas laughed at himself and was completely disappointed with the Jaymes Family."Get out of here, loser!" Rex Xavier joked and smiled, his eyes full of pride.Just as the two security guards were about to push Thomas out of the inner hall, Jessica
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 16: Nylon...! That’s nylon thread
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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 17: The partnership is canceled?! Why?!
Even Derek Jaymes was a little sour, seeing Jessica getting the position instead of him.Jessica jumped up in excitement, rushed forward, grabbed her Grandma's hand, and sweetly called out to him one by one.The anger she has for Thomas Tudor's and resentment and grievances vanished instantly.Nearby, Jessica's parents exchanged glances and smiled. If it weren’t for the seriousness of the occasion, they would have jumped up and cheered.In this way, the past three years were absolutely worth it. Once they kicked the boy out completely and married into the Xavier family, what awaited them was prestige and glory.****Thomas naturally had no idea what they were plotting in private. However, he had already made his own decision.Now that the family restriction was lifted, there were many things waiting for him. The first was the asset takeover in Berlin City as his main company wasn't in this place.The Tudor Family wasn’t just wealthy; in business, their empire was truly invincible. Eve
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 18: Unusual Request
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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 19: Veronica appointed
"Mr Landon, please go and inform the Samuel family of the latest news personally again. However, the project leader is Veronica. Remember, it's Veronica, not Jessica."After Uncle Landon left, Old Miriam sat alone in deep thought. Does Graymer Group know Veronica? How is that possible? But why did they specifically request that the project leader must be Veronica before agreeing to continue the partnership?---Jessica was feeling miserable at home. Not even Yanna Blanca and Samuel Jaymes could console her.They understood the frustration—no one could endure such a devastating setback. Just a moment ago, she had been on the brink of immense wealth, practically stepping into millionaire status. Once the project was successfully completed, she would have even had the opportunity to share in the Jaymes Family’s fortune with Derek.And now? Everything had collapsed.Ding Dong!"Open the door! It's Uncle Landon—I have good news!" came a voice from outside."Uncle Landon? Good news?" The th

Chapter 36: Veronica feeling pressured
"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.
Chapter 35: Veronica in a complicated situation
"Just picking up trash. The family took pity on you and gave you some responsibility, and you think you're amazing? Skimming off the top and giving it to Thomas Tudor to waste, huh? That broke bastard can afford to take you to the Grande Golden Palace to watch the stars? How much did you give him?""Speak!" Jessica Jaymes grabbed the whip. Each strike left a fresh, bloody wound on Veronica’s legs, and soon, her calf was covered in blood.Tears welled in Veronica’s eyes, but she clenched her teeth and refused to make a sound."I didn’t give him money. I didn’t take anything, and I had no idea he booked the observatory to celebrate my birthday! I didn’t know…!""Shut the hell up! You didn’t know?" Jessica snarled, then kicked her in the stomach. Veronica stumbled backward, crashing against the door."That’s enough. Consider this a warning. From now on, any money you siphon off better go straight into our accounts, or next time, it won’t just be a beating!" Samuel said, glancing at the d
Chapter 34: Back home to my cruel family
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
Chapter 33: The biggest birthday party in town
33Manager Kim frowned and stopped in front."Please calm down, Miss Jaymes!""I'm calm, now get lost for me!" Jessica snapped, her anger spilling over in foul language. "We were the ones who booked the Grande Golden Palace! So why the hell are these two fools allowed in?!""Miss Jaymes, who told you that you booked the Grande Golden Palace?" Manager Kim's face remained expressionless."Rex!" Jessica screamed.Rex Xavier trembled and stepped forward, his face drained of all color."Rex, are you dumb?!" Jessica yelled angrily. "Tell him right now that you're the one who actually booked the Grande Golden Palace!""Jessica, actually...""Actually what? Spit it out!""In truth... I didn’t book the Grande Golden Palace." Rex gritted his teeth and forced the words out. "The only surprise I prepared for you was a six-carat diamond ring."Boom!Jessica stood there, frozen, her mind blank.A moment later, she erupted in a hysterical scream. "Rex, stop joking! This isn't funny!""Jessica, I'm n
Chapter 32: "Actually, I’m the one who booked the Grande Golden Palace."
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
Chapter 31: Confusion on who rent the place
31Thomas arrived early at the Grande Golden Palace. After making all the necessary preparations, he waited anxiously for a long time. However, instead of waiting for Veronica, he ended up waiting for Jessica.Jessica looked stunning today. She wore a low-cut mermaid dress, high-heeled shoes with diamond-encrusted uppers, and carried a luxurious Chanel bag. Walking behind her were her roommates, Maoza and Tiara.Though Jessica was the main attraction today, Maoza and Tiara had also dressed up lavishly, basking in the admiration and envy of the crowd. They strutted into the Grande Golden Palace like princesses, their vanity greatly satisfied by the attention.Admiring the grand spectacle, Maoza couldn't help but sigh in awe."Jessica, Rex is so good to you! He actually booked the entire Grande Golden Palace for your birthday. If I had a boyfriend like Rex, I'd wake up smiling every single day!"Jessica pursed her red lips in satisfaction, feeling content. The best decision she ever mad
Chapter 30: Birthday Party Day
"What nonsense are you talking about, Dad? How could you be mistaken? Jayson told me beforehand that he would host my birthday party at the Grande Golden Palace and that it would be a big and mysterious surprise. Besides, April 24 isn’t my birthday. Which other girl in Charlottenberg District shares the same birthday as me?""If there was, wouldn’t we have heard about it years ago? Wouldn’t I already know?" Jessica Jaymes pursed her lips, her father’s words making her unhappy—like he was pouring cold water on her excitement.Why was Jayson’s grand surprise being questioned? There weren’t many coincidences in this world. The Grande Golden Palace and April 24—who else could the main character of this event be besides her?"Well, as it happens, the 24th is also Veronica’s birthday. She’s just turning 18. It wouldn’t be right to favor one over the other. How about we arrange a separate birthday meal for her?" Samuel Watson asked, looking at his wife and daughter."A separate birthday meal
Chapter 29: Party Day
"You know you're poor, yet you still spend money indiscriminately? More than one million, huh? Why not buy a house instead? Property prices have skyrocketed over the past two years!" Veronica scolded, stamping her foot in frustration."Ah, let's talk about houses later. Life is long, and I have to take things one step at a time!" Then Thomas took two steps forward, grabbed her small hand, pulled out the jade bracelet, and placed it on her fair wrist. "In the entire Jaymes family, you're the only one who's truly been good to me. For three years, I've seen it all. Sometimes, I can't help but wonder… why you didn't grow up so quickly so I can choose you as my fiancée instead?""Silly you! Three years ago, I was only fifteen! Do you want to break the law?" Veronica blushed, smiling as she playfully scolded him.Looking at her smile, Thomas couldn't help but laugh. Yes, she was only fifteen back then. But this year… she was turning eighteen. In just three days, it would be her eighteenth b
Chapter 28: You must be Mr. Tudor?
"Hahaha, this is hilarious. Where did you pick up that card? Do you really think an empty card can buy anything? I was wondering how you could afford a diamond card. Turns out, you just picked up a useless one. There's no money in it—how do you plan to pay?"Justin and his wife were both overjoyed. When they first saw Thomas just now, they were actually shocked, thinking they had provoked someone important. But who knew he was just a paper tiger? Showing off with an empty card—how ridiculous. This time, he was completely exposed."I forgot to top it up…!" Thomas scratched his head. The last time he bought the bronze bracelet, he had spent one million, leaving no balance on the card."Forgot to load it? Like you could even afford to!""Why haven't you kicked him out yet? Isn't it obvious? This guy is a broke fraud!" Mrs. Justin sneered, her voice laced with contempt."I… our boss is here. Let her handle this!" The servant, caught in the middle, hesitated. But just then, she happened to
