Due to his accusation, the crowd was momentarily distracted, and the anger that had begun to die down quickly flared up again."What did he do?""Did he really hurt him again?!""That man has gone too far!""He already broke his hand, and now he's doing something else to him?!""How can he bully a customer like this?!"The middle-aged man immediately seized the opportunity. "You... You must have done something to me!"He pointed accusingly at Veyron, using the very hand he had claimed was badly injured."My arm suddenly became unbearably itchy after you touched me!" he shouted. "What did you do?!"Several protesters immediately turned their anger toward Veyron again."That's enough!""Why are you attacking him again?!""Is bullying customers all you people at Raven & Radiance know how to do?!""Someone call the authorities!""Don't let him get away!"The reporters quickly raised their cameras again, sensing that the situation had taken yet another dramatic turn.One of them shouted, "

Meanwhile, faced with the increasingly aggressive crowd, Iris began to panic again.She grabbed Veyron's sleeve and tugged it anxiously. "What do we do now?"The protesters were becoming more hostile by the second. The security guards were struggling to keep them behind the barricade, and several people had already started pushing against it.Yet Veyron remained completely calm. He didn't even look at the crowd. "Let's wait a little longer."Iris stared at him in disbelief. "Wait a little longer?"She glanced toward the restless protesters and then back at him. "If we wait any longer, they might tear the entire company apart!"Her gaze shifted toward the building. "And why hasn't Bobby returned with any news about Manager Smith?"The longer she waited, the more uneasy she became.Veyron, however, simply smiled faintly. "Just wait one more minute."Before Iris could question him again, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and answered the call.The noise surroundin

Manager Smith trembled violently as he continued pleading for forgiveness. Regret filled his eyes, and fear had completely taken over his expression.If he had known things would end up like this, he would never have accepted the Blackwell family's money. Not even if they had offered him their entire fortune.After taking the two million dollars, he had immediately fled Highmont. He had even managed to reach the outskirts of the city and was preparing to escape to another province when Reginald Langford's people found him.That was when he learned the truth. He discovered exactly who Iris' husband was.Veyron Blackthorne was someone even Reginald Langford treated with extraordinary respect. His influence was far beyond anything Manager Smith could have imagined.He had thought Iris was merely the president of a jewelry company. He never imagined that the man standing behind her was someone with such terrifying connections.Faced with such overwhelming power, Manager Smith had no choic

Catherine's face instantly drained of color. She shook her head frantically, panic overtaking her features. "Please, don't call the police!""Please..." Victor wasn't doing any better. He looked as though he had aged several years in the span of a few seconds. "Iris, please don't call the police on us."Deliberately sabotaging another company's products was a serious offense. And this wasn't merely an accusation anymore. There was concrete evidence linking them to Manager Smith.They would also be held responsible for the losses their actions had caused. Considering the Blackwell family's current financial situation, the compensation alone could push them into an even deeper crisis.But that wasn't even Victor's greatest fear. If word of this reached the company's higher executives, his already unstable position as the head of the company could be completely destroyed.He couldn't lose everything. Not after everything he had already sacrificed to get this far.Victor's breathing becam

Previously, whenever Naomi Rossi caused trouble for Iris, her methods had been surprisingly decisive and calculated. That was why Veyron had initially believed she was far more intelligent than she appeared.But after several encounters with her, he had gradually begun to notice the inconsistencies.Naomi was too emotional and too reckless. More importantly, she was far too dependent on other people to accomplish what she wanted.Now, his suspicion had finally been confirmed. There was indeed someone behind the scenes.And the moment Tristan Harrington appeared, Veyron already had an idea of why he had been targeting him repeatedly.Julian Hawthorne.After all, Tristan and Julian belonged to the same aristocratic circle. If someone had dared to humiliate Julian and put him in his place, it was only natural that the others within that circle would take notice.Perhaps Tristan had decided to test him personally."Veyron Blackthorne." Tristan's voice broke the tense silence. "You are mor
