If Niffler was looking for Scarlet all over the city, she would be doomed. “Cut the crap and do as you’re told!” Alton was angry that Scarlet dared to refuse his order. “How dare you question me?” He slapped Scarlet and sent her flying. Scarlet stared at Alton in shocked disbelief. She never dreamed that she would be beaten. Scarlet relied on her beauty and the charm technique that she was so proud of to take Alton down. However, Alton hit her! Scarlet walked out, full of grievance and resentment. Scarlet was worried about Niffler’s pursuit, but she was more indignant about being played out by Alton. Scarlet vowed to take revenge. “Damn it, all men are no good!” Scarlet scowled and headed to Cod Residence in anger. It was not that far, so it did not take Scarlet too long to reach. Most of them knew that Scarlet was the mayor’s blue-eyed girl. Scarlet entered the house without a hitch and quickly found Jeff. Jeff was playing with his storage ring. All the pills and w
Jeff heard that two members of the family managed to get the first five spots, so they would definitely get two storage rings. However, the good news was quickly ruined. Why would Vance do such a thing? “That’s impossible. The Cod family and the mayor’s residence both received two spots. We should get two storage rings each. Why would Vance do this?” Jeff expressed doubts. Scarlet shrugged and said, “Go find out if you don’t believe me. It has become a big deal now. Everyone is demanding an explanation.” Everyone knew the culprit and felt resentful toward the Cod family. All the customers cursed and complained, not only because of the storage rings but also everything else. Treasure House had decided to stop the sale of storage rings. After learning the news, everyone went into an uproar. This was out of their expectations. They could get an opportunity by queuing up before this, but the chance was lost now! In an instant, the Cod family became the target of public outr
Meanwhile, the Cod family was in an uproar. They were panicking, but no one knew how to deal with it. Vance’s impulsive move caught them by surprise and forced the Cod family into a corner. “What should we do? We need to tell the family head about this!” “But she said no one is allowed to disturb her when she’s sleeping!” “Those people are going to make their way in here soon. If we don’t tell her right now, we’ll end up dead!” Everyone was nervous and worried. Since Emma took over the reins of the Cod family, her status was different. She became the head of the Cod family overnight. Emma had a weird temper and immediately set some rules, such as not to disturb her when she was sleeping. Everyone was panicking. It was a big crime to disturb her sleep, and they would most likely be exiled from the family. Finally, someone could not contain their fear and went to wake Emma up. Emma was very angry when she woke up, but it was quickly replaced by panic when she heard the
“Do you know what you’re saying? Are you telling me to push my precious son out and let everyone abuse him? You’re such a brutal person!” Emma was very angry and wished she could yell at Jeff. Jeff scoffed inwardly but looked at Emma without a word.… On Philip’s side, he heard about the uproar as well. Since Philip had a grudge against the Cod family, Philip was very excited to hear about it. He decided to add fuel to the fire. Philip announced that Treasure House would stop the sale of storage rings but lamented the fact that they had many rings on hand. Everyone became more furious at the news. They thought Treasure House was running low on storage rings, which was why they decided to stop selling them. Hearing otherwise meant that they had lost the opportunity to buy a storage ring at a low price. Those who did not oppose Vance earlier changed their minds. They gathered together to protest in front of Vance’s house. As more and more people gathered outside the Co
“Besides, I have bad news for you. Two of the storage rings should've belonged to the mayor.” Jeff said everything in one go, breaking Emma's confidence again and again. This old woman had always been proud and arrogant. He wanted to use this opportunity to drive her into despair. Emma’s initial steadfast expression was quickly replaced by anger and worry. Especially when Jeff mentioned the mayor, Emma scowled with a trace of despair. “What? The mayor is involved in this?” Emma panicked, at a loss for what to do. “What should I do now? I can’t force Vance into a corner!” Emma roared in a panic while Jeff left after finishing his cup of tea. He did not waste his time anymore. Anyway, he had suggested a solution. It was none of his business whether Emma accepted it or not. In the meantime, Vance did not return home. He found a diner and was eating and drinking happily with his men. “We did a big job today, boys! Now that we have disrupted the queue order, let’s see if tho
The guards struggled desperately and wondered why they were captured. At this time, Vance sobered up and looked around blankly. “What are you doing?!” Vance struggled frantically but could not break free. He could not resist the troublemakers at all. Very soon, Vance was carried out by the crowd. His guards were knocked unconscious and left behind in the private room. Those people were not important. Their target was Vance. Vance was hoisted up like grilled meat on a barbeque and paraded around the street. They cursed at Vance and blamed him for what he had done. Hearing that, everyone scowled. The people who knew the truth started beating him up. Those who were unaware of the situation also got angry and hit him after learning the truth. Vance was bombarded with rotten eggs and vegetables along the way. He kept wailing but to no avail. “Let me go! Do you know who I am? I’m the eldest young sir of the Cod family! I’ll remember everything you did today!” Before Vance cou
At Riverdale Public Hospital. “Excuse me, make way!” Philip Clarke was carrying an unconscious little girl as he rushed into the hospital, yelling madly, “Doctor! Doctor! Quick, save my little girl!” The nurses and doctor who had rushed out quickly took the child from Philip’s arms, and entered the emergency room. “Oh, you can’t go in!” A nurse in an azure-colored uniform with a face mask stopped Philip from entering into the emergency room. Just then, the rapid sounds of high heels clicking against the ceramic tiles could be heard from the back, squeezing his heart with every click. “Philip Clarke!” roared a woman’s voice. ‘Slap!’ A crisp slap came in firm contact with Philip’s cheek. Before him, stood Wynn Johnston with an enraged expression as tears pooled in her beautiful eyes. “If anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you!” Her tone was cold and laced with full fury. This scene frightened quite a few patients and their family members in the hospital
Philip’s expression changed, frowning slightly. Seeing Philip in his delivery uniform, looking shabby, Lily pointed at the door and said, “Get out now, we don’t allow delivery men here.” “I’m not here for delivery,” explained Philip. Lily tidied her bangs before crossing her arms and said icily, “This is not the first time I hear this. Everyone that comes in here says they’re not delivery men. Please!” “I’m not. I’m here to see George Thomas.” Feeling exasperated, Philip headed inside after saying that. “F*ck! Are you mad? Didn’t you hear what I was saying?” Lily was furious. It was her first time seeing such a shameless delivery man who would just force his way in after being denied entry. Just then, a department manager seemed to have heard the commotion and came out with an ugly expression. “What’s going on?” “Manager Stuart, this delivery man is trying to force his way into our office!” Lily pointed at Philip and then continued with much disdain, “I’ll get security to
