Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 26: Kneel down!
26"How dare you be fattening yourself? How dare you hide money? How dare you invite Thomas to dinner? Since when did you become so generous?" Magnolia gripped a belt in her hand, her face filled with anger."No… no, Thomas invited me. I don't have any money." Veronica’s legs went weak, her face as pale as paper. She was so terrified she could barely speak."Kneel down!" Yanna snapped, throwing the belt at Veronica. The impact left a red welt on her exposed arm, drawing blood."Thud!"Overwhelmed by the oppressive atmosphere, Veronica collapsed onto her knees at the doorway."Thomas invited you? You think I'm stupid? That man can barely feed himself! How could he possibly take you to White Swan for dinner, let alone book the Central No. 1 VIP table? You thought I wouldn’t find out? That meal cost at least $30,000!"Jessica added fuel to the fire, her words only making Yanna's fury worse.$30,000.That was how much this worthless girl spent?Yanna couldn’t hold back any longer. She gra
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 27: Diamond Card. Balance: Zero Dollars
"Quickly call the boss back and receive him personally. The big customer is here again!"With that, Zira quickly put down her work and called the boss."Thomas, we don’t have the money to wait. I'm not in a hurry. Let's come back in a few days…" When she arrived at the pawn area, Veronica's palms and back were sweating. She couldn't help slowing down her steps."Who told you I had no money?" Thomas looked back and saw the nervousness in Veronica's eyes. After thinking about it, he decided to reassure her. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a card. "What do you think this is? This is the Diamond Membership Card of Lierre Pavilion.""Diamond card?""You… you're a diamond member here?"Veronica's jaw nearly dropped."Of course. Can you relax now?" Thomas rolled his eyes."But… but how do you have this? I heard that Diamond Membership here requires 300,000 or 500,000 to qualify! That's an astronomical amount!" Although Veronica had never personally interacted with the membership se
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable 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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable 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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable 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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable 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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable 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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable 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 45: Finally seeing the truth about her so called family
They’ve truly lost all dignity. At such a young age, they harbor such ruthless hearts. The Jaymes family raised her for so long, and she still wants to sabotage them?"You spent the night at Residence 13 last night, didn’t you?" Old lady Jaymes asked, enunciating each word carefully."No, I didn’t. I went back to the dormitory. My roommate can vouch for me. Thomas Tudor escorted me back. He can confirm it too. The school has surveillance footage—if you don’t believe me, you can check it!" Veronica pressed her lips together tightly and defended herself."Thomas Tudor?""I know, Grandma. It must be Thomas Tudor. He must have put her up to it. Do you think we got rid of that weakling Thomas Tudor? Does he hate our Jaymes family now? It just so happens that Veronica listens to him and naturally becomes his pawn to retaliate against us!" Jessica Jaymes suddenly spoke up, as if struck by a revelation.Kill two birds with one stone. Jessica Jaymes was practically applauding her own clevernes
Chapter 44: Kneel down!
"Is there such a thing? The drug dealer on West Street? Isn’t that Hans Matthew’s man, Gerald Abraham?" Grandma guessed the identity of the other party directly.The biggest drug dealer on all of West Street was Gerald Abraham. That guy was notorious for reselling drugs. He had been caught several times for dealing in counterfeit drugs, but then he gradually cleaned up his act. Now he resells rare, genuine drugs at exorbitant prices and has reaped substantial profits from this trade.Old lady Jaymes despises this man. After all, his existence has caused significant losses to the interests of the Jaymes family. She never imagined that Veronica would have any contact with someone like him."It’s him. Gerald Abraham has been scheming against my Jaymes family and secretly manipulating our Jaymes channel. Veronica colluded with him. His intentions are despicable!" Teressa, little by little, seemed to have fully aligned herself with the Jaymes family."Is there some misunderstanding?" Heari
Chapter 43: Setting Veronica up
"As long as you cooperate with me fully, I don’t care about anything else. The Jaymes family is yours to handle!" Thomas smiled."Mr. Tudor, what’s the next step?" Julian stepped forward."It’s simple. Lock him up. Tomorrow, you drag him to the Jaymes family and make him spill the truth about Veronica. I want to see what Old Lady Jaymes’s stance is!" Thomas sneered.As he left Residence No. 13, Julian stayed behind to handle the fallout alone. West Street was Hans Matthew’s territory, and he wouldn’t let this slide easily. Though the Matthew family was insignificant to Thomas, Julian wasn’t in the same position. To Hans Matthew, Julian was just a small fry. If Hans decided to quietly take him out, Julian wouldn’t stand a chance.For now, Thomas prioritized Veronica’s situation and didn’t want to escalate things too far.Back at school, Veronica had been waiting for Thomas for a long time."Are you okay?" At the school gate, Veronica was so anxious she was on the verge of tears. It was
Chapter 42: "Your old girlfriend?"
Seeing the prize slip from his grasp, Gerald’s face went blank."Julian Vladimir! This is West Street! This is Brother Matthew’s territory! My territory! And I didn’t provoke you, did I? Why pick today of all days to stir up trouble with me? Are you serious?""Did that kid come to you?"Gerald Abraham pointed at Thomas. Did this trash actually have connections with Julian? Why didn’t Derek mention this?With a sharp smack, Julian Vladimir slapped him across the head."I’ve handled your West Street and East Street nonsense for too long but the useless thing you did is to crossed Mr. Tudor's way. I’m setting scores with you today. Your good days are over, I’m telling you!"In the past, Julian wouldn’t have dared cause trouble on West Street, but things were different now. Thomas intended to back him as the new kingpin of the area. Behind Thomas stood a giant like the Graymer Group. Julian Vladimir now had ten times the guts to turn against Hans Matthew. It all boiled down to one thing—w
Chapter 41: "Well, I’ll give you two choices too!"
Someone in the room immediately went out to guide Thomas and Veronica to the scene straight.Soon, Thomas opened the door and stepped inside. Gerald was surrounded by a row of younger brothers, exuding full momentum and pressure."Miss Jaymes, I went to your office this morning to talk. You didn’t agree. Now I’ve made you come to me in person, and you’ve agreed. I knew you were interested in me. Why should I bother with the effort?" Gerald’s face twisted into a mocking grin."If you hadn’t threatened me, how could I possibly come to discuss business with someone like you!" Veronica’s expression darkened."Ha ha ha, Miss Jaymes, you’ve got it wrong. You know who threatened you. I’m a serious businessman—I don’t do that sort of thing!" Gerald quickly waved his hand dismissively.All these schemes were orchestrated by Jessica and Derek Jaymes. In truth, Gerald hadn’t put in much effort himself. He hadn’t expected the younger generation of the Jaymes family to be so ruthless in their plot
Chapter 40: “My little lamb has finally arrived with her little man?”
"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
Chapter 39: But what's the plan with Veronica?
Julian was overjoyed when he heard this. Others didn’t know what Thomas Tudor could do and assumed he was just an orphan and a failure. However, Julian understood that this was the cruel role the boss of the Graymer Group had carefully crafted for him—to live and serve as entertainment. Though the other party’s remark seemed exaggerated, Julian was willing to take the risk.Besides, the Pearl Group alone was not an entity he could afford to cross.“Leave your contact information so I can let you know when to prepare your little brother!” Thomas knocked on the table.At that moment, he no longer displayed the submissive demeanor he’d shown within the Jaymes family. The three-year marriage hasn't lowered his pride despite all the humiliation; instead, it had made him more reserved and calculating.When leaving, Thomas didn’t allow Julian to see him off. As he reached the first floor, he spotted several familiar faces approaching.Justin, Xavier, and Brian.These three were Rex Xavier’s
Chapter 38: I Await your orders!
"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
Chapter 37: Young Master, if you give the word...
"huh? Lose money? What do you mean by that?" Thomas was very curious."Our group recently received a new order and imported a special drug for lung cancer from abroad. The effect is surprisingly good, but the price is outrageous. The production cost is only 100 per box, but after distribution and logistics, our procurement cost is 5,000 per box. By the time we supply it to hospitals or partners, the price is 10,000. After multiple layers of price increases, the final price in the hands of patients is around 30,000 per box this the detailed calculation for how it will go but do you know?Guess what Miss Veronica said?" Fred asked with a sly smile which turn into a light chuckle before he took a breath, calming himself down and speak."Haha, she insisted that the patients couldn't afford such expensive medication and asked us to supply it to her at just 5,500 per box!""After factoring in channel tariffs, labor, and miscellaneous costs, our group wouldn't even make a profit. But since s
