Chapter 909
Jaden stared at Thunder Bolt coldly.There was no roar of anger, no threatening movement. Just a quiet, bottomless calm that made the air around him feel heavier by the second.Their gazes collided.Thunder Bolt froze.This was a man who had butchered his way through the underworld. A serial killer whose hands were soaked in blood, whose name alone had sent hardened criminals to their knees. Wherever he stood, fear followed. His presence usually felt like death knocking at the door.But now, for the first time in his life, Thunder Bolt felt that he was the one being hunted.The moment his eyes met Jaden’s, something deep inside him screamed danger.Not the kind that came from experience or calculation. This was pure instinct. The same instinct animals had when they sensed a predator far above them in the food chain.His pupils trembled.A sharp chill surged up his spine, flooding his limbs with ice. The corner of his eyes twitched uncontrollably as beads of cold sweat formed on his fo
Chapter 908
But Jaden stood right where he was, unmoving and unafraid.His expression did not change. There was no panic in his eyes, no instinctive retreat. It was as if the whip was never a threat to begin with.Before the leather whip could reach his face, Jaden lifted his hand and caught it midair.The sharp crack everyone expected never came.Instead, silence slammed into the room.Richie’s brows snapped together as his relaxed posture stiffened. Shock rippled through the crowd like a sudden chill.How did he stop it?That whip was swung with full force. Anyone else would have had their skull split open.The man holding the whip froze, his mouth hanging open as he stared at Jaden’s hand wrapped tightly around the leather. His fingers trembled.He snarled and pulled with all his strength, veins bulging in his neck.The whip did not move even a fraction.Jaden looked at him coldly, as if he were nothing more than a nuisance. With a casual tug of his arm, he yanked the whip back.The man stumbl

Richie’s expression hardened completely. Any trace of patience vanished from his face.“We’ll talk about your punishment later,” he said coldly. “Now it’s your parents’ turn. Do it. Right now.”At his command, the two men holding the leather whips stepped forward. Their lips curled into cruel grins as they loosened their grips and tested the weight of the whips in their hands. The sharp smell of leather filled the air, making the atmosphere even more suffocating.Vane and Nora were tied to wooden posts. Their faces were pale, their bodies trembling despite their attempts to remain composed. Nora bit her lip, fear flickering in her eyes, while Vane struggled weakly against the ropes, knowing it was useless.“No!” Selena screamed.She rushed forward without thinking, her voice cracking as she tried to reach them. But before she could take more than a few steps, several people blocked her path. Rough hands grabbed her arms and dragged her back.“Let me go!” she cried, thrashing desperate

Richie let out a snort filled with contempt. His gaze swept over Selena like she was something filthy that had crawled into the hall.“Selena Verrick,” he said coldly, “do you know how many crimes you have committed against this family?”He did not wait for her answer.“First,” Richie continued, his voice sharp, “you disgraced the Verrick name by getting pregnant before marriage. Worse, you married the homeless man who defiled you. You dragged our family’s reputation through the mud and turned us into a laughingstock.”Selena clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.“Second,” Richie went on, “you were selfish and unfilial. You openly defied Old Master Xander and the elders. After building your fortune, you gave nothing back to the family that raised you. You acted like the Verrick blood in your veins meant nothing.”The murmurs among the family grew louder.“Third,” Richie said, his eyes turning icy, “you ordered Jaden to assault Vex and Obidiah. They are members of the V
Chapter 905
Xander took a slow breath before speaking, his voice heavy with restraint. “Vane and his wife are indeed at fault. They failed as parents and deserve punishment. As for Selena and Jaden, their actions were far worse. Injuring Mr. Verrick’s subordinates is unforgivable.”He paused, then bowed slightly. “However, we are still family. I hope Mr. Verrick will show mercy and give them a chance to atone for their mistakes.”Richie leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly against the armrest. His eyes narrowed. “A chance to atone?” he repeated coldly. “And how exactly do you propose they do that?”Xander straightened his back. “Selena controls the Rift Group. If she is willing to transfer half of the company’s shares to the Verrick family, it will serve as compensation and proof of her repentance. That will be her contribution to the family and her atonement for all the trouble she has caused.”The hall fell silent.Every member of the Verrick family understood what those words
Chapter 904
Richie sat on the massive wooden chair at the center of the hall, his posture relaxed yet oppressive. Xander, Elias, and several core members of the Verrick family stood around him, forming an invisible wall of authority that pressed down on everyone present.He looked down at Vane and Nora with a mocking smile tugging at his lips.“Hah,” Richie scoffed. “Vane, do you really think you are qualified to be a member of the Verrick family?”Vane stiffened. His mind went blank for a moment before fear crept up his spine. He bowed slightly, his voice cautious and unsteady. “Mr. Verrick, I do not understand. Please enlighten me if I have done anything wrong.”Richie did not answer immediately.He leisurely reached for the teacup on the coffee table, lifted the lid, and blew gently on the surface before taking a slow sip. The deliberate pause made the silence in the hall unbearable.Only after setting the cup down did he speak, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “You raised a very good daughter.
