“Grandpa, are you serious?!”Veronica was mortified by this revelation at this point. There was already the fact that she was struggling with: a sudden, long-lost cousin of hers had a very high chance of surpassing her and actually becoming the heir apparent. Now, it turns out that the foster grandmother of that long-lost cousin of hers has managed to bag the affection of the very man who's currently occupying the seat of patriarch.“Y…You're not kidding, are you? You're really in a relationship with Benjamin's grandmother.”Great Master Hunter stared at her granddaughter before clearing his throat.“You helped the Tyrone family - a known group of enemies to your own cousin - get a hold of his foster grandmother. Veronica, you aided an enemy of this family. I am disappointed in you.”Veronica began shaking her head with eyes rimmed red as tears threatened to slide down her face.“No! No, you can't say it like that. You can't put it like that! That woman is his foster grandmother! They

Veronica halted her own words, realizing just how ridiculous it would sound once it left her lips completely.How did her grandfather find out that she had launched an ambush against her cousin at Mayor Gregory Fern's residence? This was the question she was going to blurt out. But it would have been a very dumb question to ask. After all, as a highly regarded young madam of the Whiteridge family, she should know more than anyone just how easy it is for the prime estate to gather intel on anyone and anything as long as it exists. Keeping tabs on the actions of the rest of the family is not excluded.This is one of the many ways in which the patriarch or matriarch of the Whiteridge family has maintained utmost power: keeping tabs on the rest of the family to ensure no one is acting out of line against the family's established order, driven by greed for power.Therefore, it made absolute sense that the Great Master Hunter was aware of the feud that had been going on between his highly

Veronica took a step back, keeping quiet momentarily before she felt anger bubbling within her heart “Hold on, what?!”Great Master Hunter Whiteridge was in a very casual sweater that actually wasn't thick enough, looking like a member of the elite wealthy class going out to play golf.“What?! Are you deaf?! Theresa Knox. Benjamin’s poor grandmother. How dare you involve her in a beef with your cousin?!”Veronica couldn't believe her ears and eyes. Of all the things that would actually piss off her grandfather, Benjamin's foster grandmother was truly the last person she expected to be the most important person in the great master's mind right now.“Grandpa, what's going on?! Why are you working yourself up over this?! Isn't she just an old woman?!”Veronica didn't know why her question had led to the entire office immediately becoming cold, even going as far as to make her shudder, but she could see that the patriarch was responsible for this.“Um…. Grandpa?”Hunter Whiteridge glare
Chapter 541
Veronica found the Prime Estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin, standing at the end of the hallway, which had soldiers from the golden-elite troop, controlled by the patriarch alone, lined up at both ends.The prime estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin, had an unreadable smile on his face as we watched one of the great master's grandchildren heading towards him.He bowed slightly in a show of respect.“Young Madam Veronica, you're finally here. The patriarch has been a bit impatient about your arrival. I hope you have a good excuse for your youth.”There was definitely a tone of respect, but the undertone and wordings themselves made it clear that he wasn't happy with her.Veronica also bowed slightly before the Prime Estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin. This older man is the closest to the patriarch himself, closer to the great master than any of the notable members of the Whiteridge family.As the prime estate's Head Butler, Herbert McKlin held authority that was second to none.

Hanna Whiteridge sighed, shaking her head at her daughter.“Be careful once you're in there. The last thing you wanna do is offend your grandfather.”Veronica bit her lips and stared out at the relatively passing forest trees.“Fucking hell, Mom. Why is Grandpa reacting so badly to a bit of a dispute between his grandchildren?! Is it because that annoying brat wasn't found for a long time?! Whose child is he, even?!”There was a look of curiosity on Veronica's mother's faceasa well “I don't know, but it is clear that none of us will get the answer unless your grandfather wishes to divulge it.”Hanna Whiteridge sighed as she allowed a few seconds of silence to pass before saying anything.“Listen to me, my dear. Act cautiously before your grandfather, and do your possible best to deal with your current loss. Otherwise, his anger may cause the family elders to rethink working with us to pressure the patriarch.”Hunter Whiteridge is Hannah’s biological father. Growing up in the prime e
Chapter 539
The battle started fiercely. Dr. Tank Klaus ran towards both Lieutenant Jason and Anthony with an immense boost in speed. A normal human being would have dealt with some form of internal backlash due to the sheer speed at which he was moving.But of course, Dr. Tank Klaus was no longer human. He was now a real-life version of The Hulk, except his speed was greater.Yet, neither Benjamin's chauffeur nor lieutenant was shaken in the slightest. It was as if they saw this coming. With both having their nanotech weapons ready, they dashed out of the trajectory set against them by the monstrous opponent gunning for their lives. Dr. Tank Klaus wasn't detected by this in the slightest though. He was like a super tiger with his heightened reflexes. Despite his two opponents moving out of the way in opposite directions, he immediately locked into Anthony, who he believed was inferior in combat compared to Lieutenant Jason, and intended to cause him pain, capture him, and then use him to taunt
