Veronica shook her head bitterly and said, "It's useless. Grandfather only cares about the family's interests. The Lawton Family is already stronger than our family. Grandpa won't get into trouble with the Lawton Family."
Hearing that, Lexy suddenly felt sad. She bowed her head in despair.
For Veronica's sake, Finley would not look for trouble for the Lawton Family. Should Veronica be hurt?
"Besides, Bryce already defended me. He broke Mike's arms and legs," Veronica added.
Lexy's eyes sparkled with surprise, and finally, she smiled. After a while, she said, "I didn't think my son-in-law could be useful. "
This was the first time she praised Bryce.

Do you know what I've done to fix the problems you've caused? You would never be able to live here if it wasn't for me.""Anthony is from the Jaxon Family. I have to be careful when communicating with him. You shouldn't offend him. Do you know what will happen to you if I don't persuade him?"Veronica sighed and added, "Bryce, be more careful, okay? I'll let you go once I'm in charge of the Carter Family."Veronica did not want to say anything more, so she turned around and returned to her room.At that moment,
