"Sure babe." Rex nodded and then looked at Thomas angrily as if the very sight of him before them was enough to ruin the mood. "Trash! Since you're shameless as to not know the immersion between heaven and earth, dare follow us again and I will tell the guards to break both of your legs!" After saying those threaten words, Rex didn't wait for Thomas's reaction as he directly walked towards the door which lead to the fourth floor which was guided by three hefty security men and swipe his card, making the door open. "And you guards, don't you dare just let him walk in or else..." But just like last time, he didn't immediately step in and even threaten the guards if they allow him in to follow them then he will report them to their manager about the security incompetence. The guards nodded hastily. Thomas who was behind, witnessing all these couldn't help but smirk lightly as if enjoying the way Rex acts like a spoiled brat throwing tantrums. Sighing softly, Thomas looked around the third floor for at least a minute but seeing that all the things here didn't catch his fancy he decided to head to the fourth floor and check. Walking towards the fourth door, the guards watch as Thomas came and didn't react, waiting to see what he was about to do and when they saw him pull out a Diamond Membership Card, they lightly gave a light bow to him and watch him step into the fourth floor, the door slowly closing behind them. "Fuck! We are lucky we didn't act rashly without waiting for him to pull his card or else we would have offended a VIP customer." One of the guards mutters, wiping the nonexistent sweat on his forehead. "We're lucky we didn't act rashly. That fool with a gold card wants to make us lose our jobs." The leader mutters, anger flashing in his eyes as he curse Rex in his head. Meanwhile, Thomas who finally reaches the fourth floor caught a glimpse of Rex and Jessica in the calligraphy and painting area seemingly trying to select the best one for tomorrow's event. Hearing the door opening they turn to see who enter and were immediately shocked and slowly the shocked turn into anger. Clank! Clank! Clank! Jessica couldn't help it but walk faster to Thomas, her high heels clicking on the floor in crisp sounds. "You fool! What did you give them this time to let you in! Aren't you shameless?" Hearing her words, Thomas's eyes turn cold as he snort, looking around before replying, "like I said, this isn't your home." "How dare you talk back at me? Are you tired of living?" Jessica, so angry lift her hand and brought it down in full force with the intention of slapping Thomas. But unlike back when Thomas will cower or let himself be humiliated, he casually grabbed her hand, squeezing the wrist lightly, "this is the last time I will tolerate your rubbish, woman." He has have enough, back then he tolerate her because he was madly in love, have no place to lay his head and couldn't bear being chased out of the house. But now, after being cuckold by the very lady he loved, he will be a fool to tolerate her, she should be lucky he didn't snap and kill her out of anger and pain. "You... You! You dare fight back against me?!" Jessica's eyes widened as if Thomas figuring back was something incredible that she never believe will happen. "You think I wouldn't do worse if you step on my nerves again?" Thomas said coldly, his face as chilling as the frost as he looked at the woman he once love like a total stranger. "Bastard!!! I will kill you!" Jessica scream, the anger she has been feeling since seeing him which has buckle up in her chest for a while exploded, rising her foot, she kick directly at Thomas's stomach, if the kick was to successfully land, then for sure the high heel sharp point will definitely deal with Thomas a fatal injury which will be hard to recover from or even lead to his dead. Seeing this, Thomas sneered, he has had enough! There was no need to be polite with a donkey that didn't appreciate the kindness of a human dragging it to the stream! Lifting his hand up, Thomas wave it with full force directly at Jessica's face. Pa!!! The crisp slap rank through the hall and Jessica couldn't bear the force from the slap as it knock her directly to the ground, sending her crashing right into the floor, on her smooth, white tender cheek was five bloody red fingerprints which has appeared there and there was even sign of the cheek swelling up. "Thomas you shameless man! You dare lift your hand against a woman! Are you truly a man?! Are you tired of living and want me to use my family force and deal with you?!" Rex eyes immediately turn red in anger as he yelled at Thomas. For Thomas a nobody to slap his woman right before him, a rich wealthy young master with a gold tier membership card and powerful backing, wasn't this pouring him spit? If words of this get out then surely the friends in his circles will mock him to no end! But at the end he didn't charge at Thomas, remembering the beating he took from Thomas back inside the room, if not for Jessica's sneak attack, he would have surely been humiliated. "No fighting in this hall!" Due to the commotion, the security team of the fourth floor head the commotion and rush toward this place. "Fools! What were you doing since?! Why is it now you're arriving?" Seeing the arrival of the security guard's, Red immediately shouted angrily, despite feeling happy inside, finally, he will use them to deal with Thomas this time. "I'm sorry sir, it's our error in our duty for not arriving in time." The security guard who seeks to be the leader bowed and apologize. "Dereliction of duty?! Is it your dereliction of duty that let a beggar into this floor?!" Rex refused to let the matter die easily and pointed towards Thomas, "this waste is poor, broke and cheap. You can see it from his clothes! How then was he able to step into the Gold Membership floor?!" "No membership card?" Several of the securities were shocked. If Thomas really sneaked in without a membership card, it would be a serious issues and they the guards will face severe punishment. "Sir, are you sure? This must be a misunderstanding." Noel Andrew the security manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead despite how chilling the place was. "Misunderstanding my fart!" Rex was so angry that he pointed at Thomas and added, "this wastrel of a man here is a security guard in a low level company and I bet he doesn't earn more than $100 a month there! Yet he was able to follow us to this floor! I told your security guard's at the second and third floor not to let him in but here he is! Is this how lazy your guards are? That anybody with no make caj swagger to a VIP area? Then why is it a VIP area?! I want an explanation, now!!!" "I'm sorry, sir. If what you say is true, the Soaring Eagle Pavilion security team will provide a reasonable explanation and ensure a satisfactory resolution." The guard manager, Noel Andrew, bowed deeply in apology. Everyone capable of becoming a member of the Soaring Eagle Pavilion either hailed from a wealthy family or possessed immense influence. Mere security personnel like them wouldn’t dare provoke such individuals without solid reasons. Mishandling such situations could also damage the Pavilion’s reputation. Noel turned toward Thomas, his expression darkening as his gaze landed on the man’s cheap clothes. His tone grew colder as he spoke, "Please show me your membership card, sir." His voice carried a distinct weight, as if he had already judged Thomas guilty. If this man had really sneaked in, Noel planned to teach him a lesson—one that would serve as a warning to other lowly people with similar intentions. "Sure." Thomas replied casually, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a card. He handed it over without the slightest change in his expression. Noel took the card and examined it closely. The moment his eyes registered the intricate pattern on its surface, his pupils contracted sharply. His hands trembled, and he nearly dropped the card in shock. A diamond membership card?! Impossible! This was a privilege reserved for the true elite—local tyrants of entire cities. How could this man, dressed in such plain clothes, possess one?! "Is there a problem with the card?" Thomas asked, frowning slightly. He began to wonder if the receptionist had scammed him. "Huh? No! No problem at all, sir!" Noel stammered, his voice shaking. "It's impossible!" Jessica suddenly screamed, her face twisting with rage. She had been waiting for Thomas to be humiliated. But this?! No way was she accepting this! "Are you sure you're not mistaken?!" "How could he—a useless nobody—own even the lowest membership card of the Soaring Eagle Pavilion?!" Jessica’s voice dripped with disbelief and venom. "He’s just a lowly security guard at some company! Even his manager doesn’t earn as much as you do, Mr. Noel! How in the world could he afford this?!" She hadn’t seen the level of the card and assumed it was just a cheap, fake entry-tier membership. "Miss, there’s no mistake." Noel's tone turned firm, his earlier hostility replaced with deep respect. "The card in this gentleman’s hand is indeed a Diamond Membership Card of the Soaring Eagle Pavilion." He had worked at the Pavilion for ten years. There was no way he wouldn’t recognize it.

"What do you mean the card has no issues?!""Diamond card?! Impossible!"Both Rex and Jessica Jaymes screamed in unison, their voices filled with disbelief and fury, as if they had just been told that pigs could fly."You must be joking, Mr. Security! This walking disaster can’t even afford a bus ticket, let alone a diamond card!" Jessica spat, her face twisting in sheer outrage. There was just no way! No damn way!Jessica’s nails dug into her palm as she glared at Thomas like he was a cockroach that had somehow crawled onto a golden platter."Miss, I'm not mistaken," Noel replied calmly, "this card is definitely original.""You dare say definitely?!" Jessica shrieked, her voice laced with mockery as she pointed a sharp, manicured finger at Thomas."Do you even know who this piece of trash is? This was my husband—if you can even call him that! A man so poor, cockroaches in his apartment probably paid him rent!"Her lips curled in disgust before she scoffed, stepping closer."Let me ed

The moment Noel returned, his expression was darker than a condemned man’s last meal. Jessica and Rex’s lips curled into victorious sneers, as if they had already won the lottery of humiliation. “See?! I knew it! I freaking knew it!” Jessica practically vibrated in place like an overfilled kettle about to explode. “There’s no way this gutter rat could—” “Miss Jessica,” Noel’s voice was so cold it could freeze a volcanic eruption mid-blast. He turned toward her with the slow precision of a guillotine being raised. Jessica’s smugness faltered, only for Rex to step forward, puffing out his chest like a peacock on steroids. “What? You don’t have to be polite about it. Just announce that this bastard is a fraud so we can throw him out like the human waste he is.” The guards behind them straightened, fully prepared to launch Thomas through the nearest available window. Noel exhaled sharply through his nose. “My apologies for the delay,” he said, his tone as stiff as a tombstone. T
Once Broken, Now Unstoppable Chapter 11: "Well, well, well… is the diamond card holder now begging for a gift?"
Noel led Thomas toward the elevator, his demeanor professional yet noticeably more respectful than before. As they ascended to the sixth floor, Noel clasped his hands behind his back and spoke with measured pride.“This floor houses some of the finest collectibles in the Pavilion,” he explained. “Even the lowest-tiered item here would cause a stir in the market or at high-profile auctions. The cheapest piece is valued at eight hundred thousand dollars.”Thomas listened, nodding absently.Eight hundred thousand. For just one item.He tilted his head slightly, watching as the elevator’s sleek metal doors slid open. Was it for fame? Did these people buy such things just because they could afford to? Or was it something deeper—an insatiable hunger for power disguised as luxury? Or to show off? Rich people were indeed hard to understand. Thomas thought, forgetting he was from the one of the richest family.As they stepped inside the hall, his gaze swept over the endless glass-encased artif

"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

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

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

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.

Baldie Lowe stared at the man seated across from him in the dimly lit backroom of a nondescript San Francisco bar. The faint hum of the city’s nightlife filtered through the walls, but in here, the air was thick with tension. Baldie, a hulking figure with a shaved head and a reputation for ruthless deals in the city’s underground, felt his pulse quicken. The man before him—Thomas Tudor, known to most as a low-profile entrepreneur who’d married into a modest clan family and is useless and even got divorce and done dirty by his wife—was not what he seemed. “You’re sharper than you look, Lowe,” Thomas said, leaning back in his chair, his voice calm but laced with authority. His dark modest shirt was tailored but understated, a deliberate choice to avoid flaunting the wealth. “You must have thousands of questions right now.”Baldie’s throat tightened. He nodded, unable to speak. The Tudor family was a colossus—old money, global reach, with investments spanning tech, real estate, and shad

Thomas Tudor placed his Peregrine card in Ms. Carter's hand.In an instant, Ms. Carter was on the verge of tears. A billion dollars. It's true that a Peregrine card holder can choose to withdraw any amount at any branch, but I don't want that branch to be my branch. This is because I would have to take full responsibility for whatever happened in that case. Perhaps they won't just fire me for losing this Peregrine card holder. In fact, they might even kill me. I would be blacklisted from the finance industry from then on.In fact, Ms. Carter was even worried that they might simply kill her because of their fear of Thomas Tudor.Slap!Ms. Carter landed a slap on the manager's face.

Hence, he headed for the ATM.However, he could only withdraw 700 dollars at once.As he withdrew his money, he grumbled about how troublesome this whole process was.Finally, he managed to withdraw 7,000 dollars after ten withdrawals.But as he tried to repeat the same process for the eleventh time, he could no longer do so.'Er…' Thomas Tudor was confused. 'What bad luck! Is the machine down? Or is there no more money in the machine?'“Sir, can you come over and take a look at this machine? Is something wrong?” Even after analyzing the machine for a while, he still had no idea what was wrong. As such, he looked for the manager.The manager seemed to have nothing to do as he sat there, munching on some nuts.He was annoyed that Thomas Tudor had called him over. Nonetheless, he had no choice but to go over since a customer had called for him.After several tes

Do you mean that it would've been fine if he killed my son since it was an emergency? Your family has to take responsibility for this. Your family will have to pay for Weston's medical fees.”Nonetheless, Yanna Blanca was reluctant to ruin her relationship with her sister. “How much do you want?”“30,000.” However, it seemed like Yanna Blanca had underestimated just how shameless her sister was.She asked for 30,000 dollars! Yanna Blanca's face turned ghostly pale.Even Samuel Jaymes pointed at Karen. “You—you! This woman…”“What’s wrong? Do you mean that you're not going to give us the money after hitting my son?

He's even more famous than your Brother Baldie in San Francisco. He's the useless matrilocal son-in-law of the Jaymes family, Thomas Tudor.”In an instant, all the muscular men in the room were bent over in laughter.Thomas Tudor shrugged indifferently. “If you have nothing else, you can bring him out. Of course, those are his parents. If you want to bring them along too, you're welcome to do so. However, this is our room. Don't blame me for getting rough if you don't leave.”Pfft!Baldie Lowe chuckled.His subordinates followed suit.

In the end, she sat back down.“I'll fight it out with you since you dare to step on my son!” Karen James was an unreasonable person to begin with. Now that someone was stepping on her son, she rushed forward without any thought.But another muscular man pushed her back into her seat.Everyone froze.“Boss, what did my son do? How did he offend you guys?” Larry Shaw was still sober and not drunk. As such, he stood up, wanting to learn about what had happened.The bald man slammed a wallet onto the table. “Your son stole my wallet.

She then left while complaining. “Sigh, a four-star hotel is a four-star hotel. It's nothing like a five-star hotel; their seafood selection is so small.”The waitress watched Karen James walk away, resisting the urge to punch the latter.Within the private room.Veronica quickly ordered a few dishes.But by the time the waitress served the dishes, Karen James's family still hadn't arrived yet.“Don't tell me that they left.” Yanna Blanca was a little worried.
