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

"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

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

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 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
