Serena and her secretary, Lisa, arrived at the launch event at the Paragon Hotel that afternoon.

When they reached the lobby, Lisa left to get their tickets verified while Serena waited.

Not long after, Anthony Lancaster came strolling in with a few members of the Lancaster family following closely.

He was dressed in an expensive suit and held his chin higher than usual.

It was too late for Serena to escape now that he was close.

“What do you think you are doing here?” he asked, a mischievous expression imprinted on his face.

Serena frowned deeply. “I'm not here to cause any trouble.”

He snorted in response. “Didn't I blacklist your lowly DiLaurentis family? Did you come here to beg on your knees?”

Even though the patriarch had warned them to leave the DiLaurentis family alone and focus on their comeback, how could he miss this opportunity?

“I didn't come here to beg,” she slowly regained her confidence and replied. “You only know how to give substandard products anyway.”

    Huh?The experts were shocked and stopped kowtowing to the Wexlers.Timothy cursed from the side, "What are you waiting for? If you don't break your legs today, don't blame us for being reckless with you.""That's right," Julian's mother said arrogantly. "Do you think you're allowed to walk after my son has been crippled? Break your legs or die today. Hmph!"One of the experts staggered up angrily and spat, "Let me see who dares to cripple us today. You Wexlers are really despicable."They had made sure the young master survived the attack by getting the necessary treatment, but this was their payment.Adam Wexler stomped angrily. "You dog! Do you dare stand against the Wexler family? Do you know who we are?""Who are you?" another expert stood up and said boldly. "Can you be compared to Elijah Langston? Truth be told, you stole his family mansion from him. Shouldn't you cripple yourselves in return?"Yet a third expert stood up and said, "We are the Wexlers' experts, and most of us d

    Meanwhile, at the Old Langston family mansion, several vehicles pulled up and the members of the Wexler family alighted in their numbers.They were all under the leadership of the patriarch, Adam Wexler, who had a terrifying expression imprinted on his face.Present in front of the mansion were the group of surviving experts from the previous night. They were on their knees and began to kowtow the moment the patriarch approached with the others."Master Wexler, you have to forgive us. We were wrong.""Give us another chance, Master Wexler. We tried our best last night.""Master Wexler, we took the Young Master to the hospital. If we had known the crocodiles would cripple him, we would have fought.""Master Wexler, you have to truly forgive us."They slammed their foreheads repeatedly on the ground, ignoring the wounds they sustained.Master Timothy, who was wrapped in gauze and seated in a wheelchair, snorted coldly from the side. "Forgive you? Do you think you are worthy of forgivene

    "Huh?" Elijah didn't know how to hide his reaction to this one, and it was even evident on his face.Officer Sophia beamed a quick smile and told him, "I know you weren't expecting it, so I'll give you time to think about the matter.""I don't need to think about this, Officer Sophia," Elijah told her politely. "I don't want to be a part of your police force."His main mission for returning to Brooklyn Heights wasn't completed yet, so he couldn't afford to get distracted.Moreover, the police force was the heart of the corruption in this city. The government shook hands with the Ainsworths under the table for numerous benefits.Sophia's bright expression fell, but that didn't stop her from saying, "You are not becoming a part of the police force as a sworn officer. There are opportunities to work as a volunteer and help the police force deal with crimes and wrongdoings as a 'concerned citizen.'"She emphasized her last words, as that was the basis of why the man in front of her had a

    Sophia simply smiled. “I don’t think it’s appropriate to refer to me as ‘chief’ before the swearing-in ceremony.”She had only been appointed the West District police chief on paper and approved by the Director-General. Only after the swearing-in would she officially start her duties as chief.“I heard you’re acting as the chief already, so it’s no different. Finally, a woman in police power. Congratulations, Officer Sophia.” Rosalie grinned widely, and Sophia smiled in response.If someone saw them right now, they would think that they were old friends who had been together for a long time.Sophia said politely, “About Officer Tiffany, I apologize on her behalf. We have been trying to catch that Brother K for a very long time, so she must have been stressed about it.”“Since you’re here, I’m not angry anymore. Can we leave now?” Rosalie waved dismissively.Sophia smiled apologetically. “I have to take your statements on the matter. Brother K is a criminal who escaped from prison and

    Rosalie stopped the female officer with her hand and said quickly, "He's not one of them."The officer frowned at Rosalie and responded arrogantly, "Don't touch me. I'm not arresting him because he's one of them.""Then why are you arresting him?"Even Elijah frowned slightly and looked keenly at the young woman's face. He recognized her, but he couldn't quite remember where from. But one thing was certain: he hadn't offended the police yet."You! Stay out of my way. If you dare interfere with an ongoing investigation, I'll arrest you too." The female officer warned Rosalie, her expression feisty as she waved her hand.Rosalie gritted her teeth. "Is something wrong with you? You come here and try to do as you like because you are an officer? We are the victims here, not the perpetrators of crimes." She couldn't understand why the police officer was being arrogant and unreasonable."Don't blame me if I arrest you..." she snorted, and laid a hand on Rosalie's, intending to put cuffs

    Leader K groaned in pain, feeling gradual cracks in his wrist joint.He couldn't understand how a frail looking person could have such a tight grip that he couldn't break free from.Even Rosalie was surprised to see Elijah step in from behind her.She wanted to pay whatever he owed these people, but didn't expect that they would be shameless and try to act despicably.The other hoodlums were instantly agitated and gripped their clubs tightly in response."You! Let go of Leader K right now!"Leader K gritted his teeth angrily. "Yes—let go of me right now, or don't blame my men for being reckless. We'll beat you until you can no longer walk.""How can a frail-looking kid be this strong?" He winced in pain, secretly struggling to free himself, but Elijah's grip was like an unmoving clamp. If he applied further pressure, the bones in Leader K's wrist might really break completely."Julius, be careful—these people look dangerous," Rosalie whispered in fear from the side. She was aware tha
