Chapter 1034
Mrs. Thompson was furious, but deep down she knew she had no ground to stand on. What Derek Hancock had just done was harsh, even humiliating, but this was not a man she could afford to challenge. In Ironvale, Derek Hancock wasn’t just another businessman, he was the undisputed king of real estate, someone who could decide who stayed and who left with a single word.Her husband might have money and some influence, but compared to Derek, he was nothing. If Derek truly wanted to, he could crush her husband’s entire business overnight without breaking a sweat.Mrs. Thompson understood that clearly.If she refused to accept this outcome, things would only get worse for her.Much worse.Her arrogance from earlier disappeared completely, replaced by fear and resentment. She didn’t dare argue. Didn’t dare protest. Instead, she clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms as she forced herself to endure the humiliation.Before leaving, she shot Jaden a vicious look, her eyes f
Chapter 1033
The helicopter descended slowly, the roar of its blades drowning out every other sound. Dust and debris swirled across the ground as people shielded their faces, squinting upward in disbelief. No one expected this, not here, not for something like this.The moment the helicopter touched down, the cabin door swung open and a middle-aged man stepped out quickly, his movements sharp and urgent. It was Derek Hancock.The instant he appeared, the atmosphere shifted. People straightened instinctively, some even stepping back as respect, fear, and recognition showed clearly on their faces.“Mr. Hancock!”“Mr. Hancock is here!”Voices rose one after another.Solomon reacted the fastest. His face lit up with excitement as he hurried forward, almost bending slightly as he approached. “Mr. Hancock, what brings you here?” he asked eagerly, his tone filled with flattery.But before he could finish—Slap!A loud, crisp sound echoed across the scene as Solomon’s head snapped to the side. He staggere
Chapter 1032
Mrs. Thompson, Solomon, and the rest of the onlookers stared at Jaden as if he had just said something completely absurd. Calling Derek Hancock and asking him to arrive within ten minutes sounded like a ridiculous joke to them. Everyone in Ironvale knew who Derek Hancock was, the chairman of the city’s top real estate empire, a man whose influence stretched across both business and government. Even powerful figures spoke to him with caution, yet Jaden had just spoken as if he were calling a subordinate. It made no sense.Mrs. Thompson was the first to react. She let out a sharp, mocking laugh and folded her arms. “This guy has lost his mind. Do you even know who Mr. Hancock is? You think you can summon him like a servant?” Her eyes were filled with pure contempt.Dale followed with a cold chuckle, clearly unimpressed. “Young man, stop pretending. Don’t even think about using Mr. Hancock’s name to scare me. That kind of trick won’t work here.” His tone turned harsher as he spoke, makin
Chapter 1031
Mrs. Thompson wasted no time. She immediately launched into her version of the story, her tone sharp and exaggerated. Every word was carefully twisted. She spoke about how her “son” had been brutally killed, how she had suffered such an unbearable loss, and how Jaden had acted violently without reason.Not a single mention of her dog charging at Nora.Not a single word about the attack.Instead, she turned the entire situation around and even pointed fingers at Ben and the other guards, accusing them of standing by and doing nothing.“They watched everything happen and didn’t even try to stop him!” she added bitterly. “What’s the point of having security like this?”Solomon listened with a serious expression, nodding occasionally.But the moment she finished, his attitude shifted.Without even asking for clarification, he turned to the security guards with a darkened face.“You’re all fired,” he said coldly. “How dare you go against Mrs. Thompson’s wishes?”The words hit like a hammer
Chapter 1030
The woman’s cries quickly turned into loud accusations, drawing more attention from nearby residents. People began to gather at a distance, whispering among themselves as they tried to figure out what had happened. One of the security guards, Ben, stepped forward cautiously. The moment he recognized the woman, his expression changed. She wasn’t just anyone. She was the wife of one of Ironvale’s most influential landlords, Nolan Thompson. A troublesome figure to deal with. Ben forced a polite tone. “Mrs. Thompson, please calm down and tell me exactly what happened.” Mrs. Thompson immediately pointed at Jaden, her face twisted with anger and grief. “That bastard killed my son!” The words made everyone pause. Even Ben was caught off guard. His expression turned serious as he glanced around instinctively. “Your… son?” he asked carefully. “Where is he?” Mrs. Thompson didn’t hesitate. She raised her hand and pointed straight at the ground. “Isn’t he right there?” Everyone follow
Chapter 1029
The chubby woman let out a cold, mocking laugh, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Selena and her family.“What exactly are you trying to say?” she sneered. “Did my dog actually hurt anyone?”Selena’s patience snapped.Her face flushed with anger as she stepped forward, her voice sharp. “What kind of attitude is that? Your dog just rushed at us and snatched my mother’s groceries right out of her hands. Do you even understand how dangerous that is?”Nora was still shaken, clutching the torn grocery bag tightly, her hands trembling slightly.But the woman didn’t care.Not even a little.She casually placed her hands on her hips, completely unfazed.“My Logan just ate a piece of your chicken,” she said arrogantly. “I’ll pay you back. Simple.”Then her lips curled into something uglier.“And even if he bit your mother to death, I could still afford it. My family has more money than you could ever imagine.”Her eyes swept over them with open contempt.“Your lives aren’t even wor
