After a few minutes, heavy footsteps echoed through the street. A group of tattooed men emerged from the corner, their presence rough and oppressive. Boots struck the ground in unison, slow and deliberate.Pedestrians instinctively stepped aside, lowering their heads as they passed. No one dared to look twice.At the front stood a bald, thickset man with a cigar clenched between his teeth. He was Antonio.And following closely behind him was Robert. The latter's arm was wrapped in thick bandages, his face pale, his eyes burning with resentment."Brother Antonio!" the youth hurried forward. "He's inside. I've been watching. He hasn't come out."Antonio pulled the cigar from his mouth and exhaled a long stream of smoke."Still inside?" He chuckled darkly. "Then he's either stupid… or he wants to die."Robert stepped forward, clutching his arm. The memory of the previous beating flashed through his mind, and his expression twisted."Capo… that bastard broke my arm. You must make him pay.

Hi Veyron. Today is the beginning of your journey on MegaNovel. Welcome lovely readers. This story means a lot to me, and I can't wait for you all to experience his world. I also hope y'all grow to love him as much as I do.

Robert stared at the black card in his hand. His swollen eyes narrowed suspiciously. Not once has he ever seen Jasmine with a card like this. A dark and ugly thought crept into his mind. "That bitch…" His grip tightened. "Has she been hiding money from me…? Or has she really been seeing another man?" His expression twisted violently. Without hesitation, he shoved the scattered books back into place roughly and stormed out of the house. --- Soon, Robert arrived at a nearby ATM. The machine hummed softly as he inserted the card. Beep. The screen lit up with a simple message. [ENTER PIN] He froze. "Shit," He scratched his head irritably. How could he have forgotten that without the pin, this card was useless? He frowned and quickly keyed in four random digits. Beep. [WRONG PIN. TWO ATTEMPTS REMAINING] "Tch!" Frustration surged through him. BANG! He kicked the ATM violently. "Ah—!" Pain shot up his leg instantly. He staggered back, clutching his foot, face

SNATCH!A hand clamped around Catherine's wrist firmly. She froze instantly. Her entire arm wouldn't move no matter how hard she struggled."What—?!" Her expression twisted as she turned her head and saw the tall figure standing behind her. His grip was like iron."Who are you?! Let go of me!" She struggled violently. But it was useless. His hand didn't budge. Not even slightly."You talk too much," His voice was low and flat.But the moment it fell, a chill spread through the air. Before Catherine could react—TUG!Veyron yanked her backward.BANG!!!Her body flew sideways and slammed straight into a large garbage can.CRASH!The lid flipped open and trash exploded everywhere. Rotten food, plastic, filth. All of it spilled over her."AHHHHHHH!!!" Her shrill scream pierced the air. Birds scattered instantly. The once peaceful street turned chaotic.Not far away—"Pfft!" Iris covered her lips, barely holding back her laughter."Catherine!" Victor rushed over frantically. He tried to p

"Grandfather," Iris met his gaze unflinching. "I'm not your puppet."Her voice remained calm and cold. "I will make my own decisions... And I will choose who I marry.""You—!" Grandfather Blackwell's face darkened instantly. "How insolent!"His chest rose and fell as he struggled to suppress his anger."Dad, you see?" Catherine quickly stepped in, clutching his sleeve. "This is exactly what we were saying. She has no respect for this family anymore."Her voice dripped with disdain as she continued, "She thinks she can do whatever she wants."The old man's expression turned colder."You…" He pointed his cane at Iris. "What right do you have to make decisions on your own? You are a member of this family."His tone hardened. "You will follow our instructions."THUD.He took another step forward and shook his walking cane in her face. "I give you until the end of today to divorce that man.""Divorce?" A faint smile appeared on Iris' lips. "Impossible.""You unfilial child!" Victor roared.
