Once Broken, Now Unstoppable 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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable 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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 46: Twisting words
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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 47: Trying to manipulate her in a different way
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
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 48: Asking for his source of income
The entire Jaymes family made her feel deeply insecure for some reason unknown after today's event.But this was her own home. What could she do to them since they were 'families'?"Let’s go. Let Veronica calm down first. Once she thinks rationally, she’ll see the reality," Derek said with a smile.The three left the Jaymes family together. Veronica didn’t know where they were headed. She returned to school alone. Thomas Tudor had just sent her a message. He was waiting for her, likely worried that she’d be mistreated upon returning to the Jaymes family. However, after the meeting, Veronica had texted Thomas to let him know she was safe, and he felt relieved.They sat together in a teahouse just outside the school."After Gerald exposed everything, your grandmother didn’t punish them? She protected them so openly? Are you even her own granddaughter?" Thomas said, half-joking, half-serious."No way, I have brothers you know. My second brother joined the army, and my eldest brother is t

Thomas hurried back to school as fast as he could. The first class had already started. Standing at the door, a middle-aged woman saw Thomas but didn’t let him in; she just kept lecturing. Thomas stood there for over ten minutes.At that moment, the middle-aged woman turned her head, a smile on her face that made people uneasy."Thomas, there’s only one disease in the world. Do you know what it is?""I know. You often say there’s only poverty as a disease in this world," Thomas replied with a smile.That phrase was always on Bara Abraham’s lips."If you’re poor, you can’t afford a good education. If you’re poor, you lack access to valuable resources, connections, broad perspectives, and the capital to pursue your dreams. If you’re poor, you won’t even dare go to the hospital when you’re sick," Bara said, calling it the sole disease.Thomas knew deep down that her words held truth. All the world’s unfairness stemmed from poverty."Heh, so you still remember my words. You can’t even pay
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 50: Rex facing the thugs he called against Thomas
Thomas was equally stunned. These two guys were targeting him—so why were they the ones looking shocked now?"Sorry to interrupt."Out of nowhere, Black Iron and Thin Monkey muttered something incomprehensible, then turned and bolted. They charged straight toward Rex Xavier, who stared at them in confusion."Hey, I said, brothers, are you messing with us? Get on with it! The four of us are still waiting to enjoy the show," Rex frowned, utterly baffled. What were these two up to? After that, they ran back. If Thomas got away, wouldn’t this all be for nothing?"Beat? Beat your mother!" Black Iron smacked Rex across the head."If you want to get me in trouble, just say it. Do you think it’s easy for me to land a gig? Now you want me to get chewed out by the boss again?""Thin Monkey, let’s go. Too many rotten people in this world with filthy minds. We’ll report this to the boss—they must’ve tricked him. No way the boss would order us to hit that kid. They’re trying to set us up." With th
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 51: Meeting a old friend
However, X City and University was a force even the Pearl Group couldn’t contend with. The Jaymes family was deeply entrenched in X City, as formidable as the four major business empires. Compared to them, Rex Xavier was just a minor lackey.The next day ushered in a long-awaited weekend.Veronica was busy but decided to go shopping with Thomas Tudor. She also invited one of her closest friends, a classmate from X University’s art school.Veronica was quiet and had few friends in her class. Hana Moon might be her only true confidante."Thomas, are you pursuing our Veronica? You’ve got a bit of a reputation. Chasing our Veronica… well, I’d say your chances are slim."Watching Thomas tend to Veronica’s every need along the way, Hana Moon could piece together a thing or two. The guy was attentive—she saw right through it."Yes, I’m definitely pursuing Veronica," Thomas admitted with a wide grin, right in front of her."Veronica’s a kind girl. Naturally, few people deserve her. But I’ll d

Chapter 61: Let the friends have fun
However, Thomas stood rooted to the spot, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face.Oh great. Of all people he could have meet in his life it turns out to be the one girl he encounters today that he was supposed to meet. Which to Thomas he truly didn't know what to say or do not because she looks ugly to him, no.To be fair, he didn’t find Cassandra repulsive. Treating someone on the street without a medical license was indeed reckless. But her attitude—casually demanding arrests and jail time—was over the top. This woman was too haughty, too full of herself, and looked down on anyone she deemed beneath her."Quite the twist of fate, huh? So your name’s Thomas?" Cassandra lounged there, wine glass in hand, peering down at him like a judge from on high."Indeed, fate works in strange ways. I didn’t expect to cross paths again here Young Miss," Thomas replied with a polite smile.Their gazes clashed midair, leaving the others bewildered."You two know each other?" George and Jennifer’s
Chapter 60: Meeting Cassandra
"And then?" the two women pressed, leaning in eagerly."Later, his partner showed up—a clean-cut guy, but his intentions weren’t pure. He even had the audacity to claim he could cure my sister’s illness. She was in terrible shape at the time—how dare they lay a hand on her? The guy was barely twenty and acting all high and mighty. Then it got interesting. My sister was in critical condition, so my mom offered a hundred-thousand reward on the street for a doctor to stabilize her. And what happened? These two just grabbed some needles and started poking her. No diagnosis, nothing—they scared me half to death. If anything had happened to my sister, jail wouldn’t have been the end of it," Cassandra recounted."How’d they end up in jail?" Jinny asked hurriedly."Does it take more than a word from me to use the Willian Family’s influence and lock them up? My uncle’s with the Lee Family Planning Commission. They were practicing medicine without a license and suspected of extortion—nearly kil
Chapter 59: Meeting the bitchy girl again
Kai and Bork clearly had some self-awareness. When they first heard the news, they were thrilled, but now their excitement had faded considerably, though they still held onto hope. Who could predict the whims of luck?"I’ve booked the Queen’s Bar. Let’s sleep early tonight and make tomorrow night a good one," George announced.George left with his girlfriend. Kai and Bork went back to their games. The next evening, George returned with Jennifer. Evidently, they’d been out enjoying themselves for a full day and night—adding tonight, it’d be a day and two nights. It’s fair to say the lives of the wealthy were vibrant and full. George came from a family with some means; his parents were in business and had bought him a Volkswagen Contemporary Walker when he started college."Hurry up, brothers! Quietly now—those friends are waiting at the bar," George called out, bursting through the dormitory door."Put on your best clothes. Don’t hold back. If you don’t shine today, you won’t get anoth
Chapter 58: Party with dorm mate
Another quarter of an hour later, Ghost Valley paused, carefully withdrew the silver needles, disinfected and wiped them with precision, then placed them back into the needle bag. Shortly after, Latifa’s complexion returned to normal, and a faint cough escaped her lips."Latifa’s awake? It’s a miracle!" Dorry’s face lit up with joy as he hurried forward to cradle his granddaughter."She still needs rest. Her body is far too weak. Once you take her home, focus on foods that replenish her Qi and blood. Use nourishing soups to boost her vitality, dispel dampness, and ward off cold," Ghost Valley advised."Rest assured, may I have the honor of knowing your name?" Dorry Willian asked with heartfelt gratitude, standing before Ghost Valley with clasped hands and earnest respect."A nobody. I share a fate with your granddaughter. I sowed the seed today, and it will bloom and bear fruit in time," Ghost Valley replied with a smile, showing no pride in his accomplishment. He had no desire for th
Chapter 57: Treating the little girl
Ghost Valley, sitting nearby, couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard this. The Willian Family had looked down on others and now needed a harsh lesson to remember. He’d noticed it earlier during the acupuncture session—Thomas had deliberately skipped a needle. Ghost Valley had suspected the Willian Family would come crawling back to beg them. He hadn’t expected them to act so fast, arriving within half an hour, with the head of the Willian Family showing up in person.No wonder Thomas had been so confident that the Willians would return to plead with him. One shouldn’t speak too boldly lest they end up eating their words. Now Tyler had been proven wrong—his face not only metaphorically slapped but physically struck by old Dorry Willian himself.Seeing Tyler’s expression darken like charcoal, Thomas smiled inwardly."No, sir, I assure you no one will lay a hand on you. Who dares call you a charlatan? I, Dorry Willian, won’t spare them! I beg you to save my granddaughter," Dorry said, b
Chapter 56: Proving them wrong
In the Willian Family, Dorry’s authority still held deep sway over everyone, much like the revered position old Mirriam occupies currently in the Jaymes Family.At this point, nearly half an hour after Thomas’s arrest, the police had contacted the head of the Health and Family Planning Commission—Cassandra’s uncle—who hurried over to handle the situation.This included prosecution and fines, all justified and overseen by the Health and Family Planning Commission."Practicing medicine without a license, street fraud, using self-made, non-medical silver needles? They don’t meet commodity quality inspection standards. Where are those silver needles? Hand them over for confiscation. We’ll work with the police station to tally every detail," the head of the Health and Family Planning Commission declared with an air of arrogance, leaving no room for debate.Ghost Valley sat silently on the iron chair. Thomas spoke up beside him. "You don’t deserve to confiscate Mr. Ghost Valley’s Phoenix Ta
Chapter 55: Go release them now!
"I’m sorry, you two. The child’s physical condition is so fragile that her organs can barely function. It’s a miracle she’s survived this long. We’ve determined the cause is sudden organ failure, but her body shows signs of recent acupuncture treatment. The effects of that acupuncture are astonishing—it stimulated her internal organs to work again. However, a grave mistake was made: someone injected the child with a tranquilizer.""Not only is she far too young to receive a tranquilizer, but for patients with organ failure, it directly halts organ function, meaning…" The vice president pursed his lips, looking utterly helpless.Director Gabriel Nata turned pale with fear upon hearing this.He had administered the tranquilizer. He never imagined he’d encounter that one percent chance of disaster. Typically, a tranquilizer caused no issues, but he hadn’t anticipated the child’s visceral failure!"You took my daughter’s life!" Cassandra’s mother snarled, her face twisted with rage. "If y

Veronica couldn’t stand it anymore. She stepped in front of Thomas to reason with them."Oh, you want to play the hero and save people without a medical qualification certificate? Little girl, who gave you the nerve? If my sister hadn’t been lucky enough to recover, I’d make you pay with your life!" Cassandra planted her hands on her hips and sneered at Veronica’s words.It had long been reported that ninety-nine percent of medical acupuncture, Qigong masters, and pulse-diagnosis practitioners were street swindlers. That knowledge had been lost ages ago. In a modern scientific society, everything relied on instruments and technology. What was this nonsense about her sister’s condition? Congenital bone issues and a yin-deficient constitution? Wasn’t that just ghostly gibberish? They had once taken their sister to the United States for a diagnosis. The top experts there, using the most advanced machines, couldn’t match what these two frauds claimed to discern with their naked eyes.From
Chapter 53: Saving her and her ungrateful mother's response.
"Director, what’s going on? Hurry up and save my daughter! You gave her an injection, and now she’s like this!" Mother Mandalov grabbed Gabriel’s wrist."Don’t worry," Gabriel said. "I’ve never encountered a situation like this before. My tranquilizer shouldn’t cause an accident." He paused. "That’s right. What’s happening? Let me think—don’t worry, just let me think." Gabriel’s voice trembled with panic."What are you thinking about? Can’t you even see my daughter’s condition? Why are you still thinking? Aren’t you a doctor? If you hurt my daughter, I’ll fight you to the death!" Mother Mandalov’s face twisted with ferocity. She lunged at Gabriel, grabbing and scratching him. Gabriel didn’t dare fight back or argue. He cursed inwardly but kept his expression neutral, feeling utterly wronged.He genuinely didn’t understand what was happening."I told you all long ago that the tranquilizer would only act as a catalyst to hasten her death. In essence, it does nothing to ease her illness,
