"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

    "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.

    "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

    "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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    "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

    Then she looked at Veronica. "I didn’t expect the Jaymes family’s goal would be so easily achieved through Veronica. Veronica, you did an excellent job.""I’ve always rewarded merit and punished mistakes. Jessica, Derek, and Teressa, how can I trust you to handle the family business in the future? Scheming and intrigue are not the way of our Jaymes family. Do you understand your errors?" Old lady Jaymes’ gaze was stern."I know I was wrong, Grandma…" "I know I’m wrong." Jessica bowed her head, her eyes brimming with resentment. She couldn’t fathom how Veronica had become Julian’s adopted sister. What hidden deal had taken place between them?Of course, if she asked questions now, Grandma would surely punish her. She was clever enough to know when to lower her head. Grandma only wanted them to admit their mistakes, and it was clear she wouldn’t truly penalize them. To Jessica, it was obvious Grandma favored direct blood relatives over outsiders."Grandma, I didn’t realize the situatio

    Thinking that this was the person closest to her day and night, Veronica felt a chill run down her spine."Grandma, you have to believe me—this snake-hearted woman! She stole my project leader position and tried every means to frame me. She wants me to fall completely out of favor in this family. I don’t want to live!" Jessica burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. She collapsed beside the leg of old Mirriam Jaymes, looking utterly pitiful.But now, with old lady Jaymes’ sharp intellect, how could she not piece together the whole story? From the moment Julian escorted Gerald to their Jaymes family, it was clear that things were far from simple. After Gerald presented those call records, even without listening to the recording, old lady Jaymes had already surmised most of it—eight or nine parts out of ten.Jessica was indeed desperate for the position of project leader, but old lady Jaymes hadn’t expected her to resort to such extreme measures."All right, I’ll judge the situation o

    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

    "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
