“Alright, we’re done smashing the place. We’re leaving now, dearie, haha…”

Violet smugly grinned as she watched her goons finish their destruction.

Before leaving, she couldn’t resist taking one last jab at Roselynn.

Roselynn was furious, but she held back, knowing these arrogant fools

wouldn’t get away. Sure enough, just as Violet turned to leave, Emmanuel

spoke up with a smile, “All finished? If you’re not in a rush, how about

compensating for the damage before you go?”

Compensate? Violet paused for a moment, then turned back with a mocking

smile. “Haha, that’s a good suggestion. I’d recommend calling the cops. If

you’re lucky, by the time the process is over, you might get a little money!”

Her arrogance was palpable–utterly fearless.

It had been a while since Emmanuel had encountered someone like her. He

strode forward, but before he could get close, Violet’s bodyguards stepped in,

shouting, “You lowlife, how dare you approach Ms. Ashford?”

Boom! Boom!

Before they could get anywhere near Emmanuel, Sage had already knocked

them all down, sneering, “With your skills, you’re not even fit to be near my

boss.”

“You… How dare you attack my men?!” Violet’s eyes darkened with fury as

though Emmanuel and his crew had committed some unspeakable crime.

“I’m curious: what gives you the confidence to act like this? Do you have

people in the police? Or is there someone powerful in Zovince who’s

protecting you, allowing you to trample over the law so boldly?” Emmanuel

stood in front of her, towering over her as he asked.

“Haha, I never said that!” Violet wasn’t foolish enough to admit anything

outright. She simply smirked, “I just said, if you want me to pay, follow the

legal process. If the court rules I should compensate you, I will. After all, what’s

the damage worth? The Ashford family has plenty of money. But you… If you

keep this up, you might disappear one day, and no one will ever find you.”

Emmanuel was beginning to piece things together. There was definitely

some powerful force backing this woman.

“Well, I’d like to see how it plays out!” Emmanuel ordered Sage, “Call the

police.”

“Yes, boss!” Sage immediately took out his phone.

Violet, however, didn’t seem the least bit concerned. In fact, she looked even

more smug. “Play this game with me, and I’ll crush you! My family has more

money than you can imagine, and Zovince is full of people in my pocket. How

ong do you think you can hold out against me?”

Roselynn, unable to tolerate her arrogance any longer, butt in, “Since you’re

so keen on talking about money, how about I give you a little compensation

of my own?”

JO TEMU

With that, she slapped Violet hard across the face.

Violet, who apparently knew a bit of martial arts, sneered and grabbed

Roselynn’s wrist, trying to retaliate with a slap of her own. But before she

could make a move, Emmanuel locked her in place with his internal strength.

Violet’s eyes widened in shock, unable to comprehend what had just

happened. In the next instant, Roselynn used her free hand to slap her across

the face again.

Smack!

The entire room fell into stunned silence. The crowd outside, watching the

scene unfold, was utterly speechless. They couldn’t believe what they’d just

witnessed. Someone actually hit Violet Ashford! Do they not realize how

powerful her connections are?

“You… you actually hit me?!” Violet glared at Roselynn, blood trickling from the

corner of her mouth.

“Don’t believe it?” Roselynn snorted dismissively. “Want to try again?”

Smack!

She slapped Violet on the other cheek.

“Now, that’s much better. More symmetrical now!” Roselynn clapped her

hands in satisfaction. She had never met these people before, yet they had

come causing trouble on the very first day of her shop’s opening. She knew

she couldn’t drop it until she slapped them.

The onlookers were stunned, frozen like statues, unable to move.

“You… you… just you wait! I’ll make sure you all regret this!” Violet, seething with

rage, turned to leave. But before she could make a move, Emmanuel spoke

up plainly, “Ms. Ashford, you haven’t paid for the damages yet.”

His words seemed to have a magical effect, making Violet and her

entourage freeze mid–step. After a brief pause, Violet angrily tossed a card

on the floor. “There’s 500 thousand in there–more than enough to cover for

your junk. This isn’t the end!”

“Thank you, and please come again!” Roselynn replied with a smile, pocketing

the card without hesitation. After all, the merchandise they had smashed

was the leftover stock from Dee Dee, so this was as good as getting paid to

clear it out.

Meanwhile, the few remaining customers hurriedly fled the store.

Still, a concerned woman turned back to Roselynn, offering a warning. “You’ve

really stirred up trouble, my dear. I’d advise you to close up and leave

quickly!”

“What’s up with those people anyway?” Emmanuel asked immediately.

“You really don’t know?” The woman glanced around nervously, then leaned

in close to quietly explain to the Lowe siblings. “Her name is Violet, and she’s

Hank Sheridan’s fiancee. He’s a top retainer of the Lannister family, highly

skilled in martial arts, and holds a very high position, so they have the

Lannister family’s support.”

Emmanuel chuckled to himself. So she’s just Sheridan’s fiancee! Some nerve

she has to behave imperiously, acting like she rules the world.

Does the Lannister family really have that much power in Zovince?”

Emmanuel pressed for more information.

“Of course! You must be outsiders if you don’t know.” The woman sighed

deeply before continuing, “The Four Great Aristocratic Families don’t just

dominate Zovince; they hold sway throughout all of Chanaea. The Lannister

family has immense prestige–no one here dares to disrespect them. You

talked about calling the police, but did you know that many high–ranking

officials are connected to the Lannisters? What kind of case could you

possibly bring against them?”

Ex

So, that’s how it is, Emmanuel thought. He now understood that at the highest

Chapter 2034 Pay Up Before You Leave

levels of society, the game was all about power and influence. The rules that

applied to ordinary people no longer mattered at this level if even a mere

retainer’s fiancee could be so arrogant in Zone 3, it was a testament to just

ow terrifyingly powerful the Four Great Aristocratic Famillies were in Zovince.

Seeing that they remained unmoved by her warnings, the woman sighed,

shook her head, and hurried away.

“Let’s tidy up and get back to business!” Roselynn declared, unfazed by the

threat of the Lannister family. All she wanted was to run her business legally

and peacefully. With her brother around, she wasn’t worried about the

Lannisters–they could come if they dared.

Emmanuel shared her sentiment. The Lannisters had already been watching

his sister, and sooner or later, they were bound to clash. It might as well

Chapter 2054 Pay Up Before You Leave

happen now, with this incident as the catalyst to settle their feud once and

for all. One side would eventually have to concede.

Rose, we got played by Gautier this time,” Emmanuel remarked as he helped

tidy the shop. “He knew you’d be interested in this store and deliberately set

us up to clash with the Lannister family.”

“That guy is really scheming!” Roselynn grumbled, her thoughts aligning with

Mackenzie. “But it doesn’t matter. Even if he didn’t stir up trouble, the

Lannisters would have come after me eventually. Didn’t they already send

people to kidnap me the other night?”

“Those people might not have been from the Lannister family,” Emmanuel

speculated. “It’s possible the Lannisters don’t even know you’re in Zovince yet.

Gautier could have sent those men, pretending they were from the

Lannisters.”

Roselynn’s eyes widened in realization.

Emmanuel smiled bitterly. “The Lannister family is one of the Four Great

Aristocratic Families. They wouldn’t be stupid enough to send a couple of

weaklings to stir up trouble, knowing they couldn’t capture you. They wouldn’t

risk exposing themselves so easily.”

“D mn it, so it was all Gautier’s doing!” Roselynn fumed. “Manny, find a chance

to take care of that guy once and for all!”
