Brian said, “Who’s the shameless one here? All relevant details of your dirty deeds will be on the man’s desk in three days.”
Rhea Oliver’s expression changed. There were plenty of things she had done that her boyfriend did not know about, but she had hidden everything so well that her boyfriend had no idea.
Valda Theller’s boyfriend had suddenly said that. ‘Does he know…’
Then, she denied it. ‘No way!”
‘Sir, it’s ungentlemanly of you to talk to my girlfriend like that!’ Rhea Oliver’s boyfriend stood up for her. Brian sneered. “I’m gentlemanly enough not to do anything right away. You’re from the Lu family, aren’t you? I advise you to leave immediately if you don’t want the Lu family to suffer.”
Stewart Watson was surprised that he knew his surname was Lu.
‘This guy is…’
Stewart Watson began to size up his outfit. However, the more he looked at the man, the more shocked he was, especially at the sight of the watch on his wrist… Stewart Watson loved watches, so he could tell at a glance that the watch that Brian wore was a global limited edition. There were only three watches in the world, and the price was up to tens of millions of dollars.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on his back. No ordinary people could afford to wear such a watch.
Besides… The more he looked at his face, the more familiar he looked. It was as if he had seen him before. He just could not recall it all of a sudden.
“Stewart, don’t let him intimidate you. Who does he think he is? Anyone can intimidate others by saying such words. I can do the same. I can say that I can kill his family in three days-”
Before Rhea Oliver could finish speaking, Valda Theller had lunged forward and snapped, “Shut up!
Rhea Oliver, I don’t care what you say about me, but I won’t go easy on you if you talk about my boyfriend’s family like that! I, Valda Theller, will do what I say!”

Before Rhea Oliver could finish speaking, Valda Theller had lunged forward and snapped, “Shut up!
Rhea Oliver, I don’t care what you say about me, but I won’t go easy on you if you talk about my boyfriend’s family like that! I, Valda Theller, will do what I say!”
Rhea Oliver was shocked by Valda Theller. Besides, Valda Theller’s expression was full of threatening malice, making Rhea Oliver’s heart shudder. For a moment, she was unable to speak.
Stewart Watson came back to his senses at once. He hurriedly grabbed Rhea Oliver and said, “Alright, let’s go. It’s embarrassing to cause a commotion here.”
Rhea Oliver clenched her teeth. She even glared at Valda Theller before leaving. She wanted to say something to scare her, but those words seemed stuck in her throat when she caught a glimpse of Brian’s icy gaze. She eventually just said, “Just wait and see.” Then, Rhea Oliver angrily left with Stewart Watson.
Valda Theller turned to look at Brian. “I’m sorry I involved you in this and caused you and your family to be cursed by Rhea Oliver like that.”
Brian replied, “You don’t need to apologize. It’s not your fault anyway. People like that will receive the consequences of their evil deeds. Don’t let people like that affect your mood. Let’s take a look at the necklace.”
Brian said as he glanced out the corners of his eyes in the direction where Rhea Oliver and Stewart Watson left. His eyes were filled with sarcasm.
Valda Theller nodded, calmed herself, and examined the necklace.
The limited edition necklace was made of platinum and set with amethyst. The material itself was not expensive. The entire necklace cost nearly 50,000 dollars.
Valda Theller immediately paid for it with a swipe of her card, which made Brian raise his eyebrows in surprise.
She said she would pay for the necklace, but it was not cheap for her. However, she bought it without hesitation. Walking out of the shopping mall, Valda Theller looked at the beautifully wrapped jewelry box like it was her treasure. She could not help smiling as she imagined what Camille Strickland would look like when she received the gift.
“You and your friend must be close,” said Brian.
“Do you mean Camille?” asked Valda Theller. She nodded. “We’re indeed close. It was Camille who helped me when I was bullied during university. Later, I decided to make a living for myself through comics. She WAS the one who kept encouraging me.
When I didn’t have enough money to start my own studio, she lent me her savings without a word. She’s kind to me, and I’ve always been grateful to her.”
“She’s indeed kind to you,” said Brian.
“Yeah, it’s a pity there’s nothing I can do to repay her. I think she’ll be happy I bought her a necklace she likes. I hope she can enjoy her birthday this year,” murmured Valda Theller.
“She’ll have a good time,” said Brian. “I hope so,” Valda Theller said with a smile.
On her way back, Rhea Oliver snapped at her boyfriend, “Why did you pull me away? That Valda Theller was disgusting back then. So what if I scold her? I even beat her up before, and she accepted it obediently!”
“That was then, not now,” Stewart Watson snapped back.
“What’s wrong with now? She’s not doing well either. She’s not wearing any luxury brands, just cheap clothing. She’s just the same as she was back then,” Rhea Oliver said in disdain.
“Did you take a closer look at her boyfriend’s clothes? The watch her boyfriend is wearing cost tens of millions of dollars!”
Rhea Oliver’s face was instantly full of surprise as soon as Stewart Watson spoke. “That’s… impossible. How can Valda Theller’s boyfriend afford to wear a watch that cost tens of millions of dollars? Could it be a knock-off?”
Stewart Watson rolled his eyes. “Do you think I can’t tell what’s real and fake?”
Rhea Oliver was rendered speechless. After all, her boyfriend was interested in watches, so he could distinguish between real and fake watches better than ordinary people.
“But… But how does Valda Theller’s boyfriend have such an expensive watch?” Rhea Oliver’s face was still full of disbelief.
Stewart Watson’s confusion was only… “Who’s this boyfriend of hers?”
However, no one could tell them the answer.
As soon as Shana Nicholls left the hospital, two men put her in a car and took her to the Weiss family’s mansion.
She was instantly relieved when she saw Martin Weiss.
She had been uneasy these days, wondering if what she had done would be discovered. Although she got a lot of money for it, she was afraid to spend it.
“I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to counter like that.”
Martin Weiss looked at Shana Nicholls coldly.
“I… I don’t know what you mean, Mr. Weiss,” Shana Nicholls said as she played dumb.
“You sold my information to the Weiss family’s rival. You made good money from it, didn’t you?” Martin Weiss said nonchalantly.
Shana Nicholls immediately understood as soon as he said that. It seemed that Martin Weiss already knew what was going on.
“What you said is ridiculous, Mr. Weiss. Someone was just concerned about your health and marital status. I happened to know some information and made a passing remark. I didn’t do anything other than that. Besides, didn’t you always want to divorce Mrs. Weiss, Mr. Weiss? Since Mrs. Weiss has agreed to the divorce, you can get it done and there won’t be so many rumors anymore.”
Martin Weiss snorted gently. “Another way is to hand you over to the police so you can tell everyone everything you’ve done. That way, people will understand that someone had a hidden agenda and that it was a retaliation.”
Shana Nicholls’s expression changed, and she immediately snapped, “Hand me to the police? They have no reason to arrest me!” She had already assumed that what she leaked was not a secret but a passing remark to the Weiss family’s opponent. What she did had not broken any laws.
“I think you might have forgotten the agreement you signed when you came to the Weiss family to take care of me. That agreement stipulated not to disclose the patient’s condition, but you disclosed it,” Martin Weiss said lazily.
Shana Nicholls said, “I’ll pay for the penalty, then.”
“The penalty?” Martin Weiss peered at her coldly. “Weiss Group’s stock price has declined, and Weiss Group had been badly affected. Do you think you can afford the penalty?”
Shana Nicholls’s eyes widened. ‘Is… Is Martin Weiss trying to pin all that on me?’
“If you can afford it, I can forget it happened,” said Martin Weiss.
Shana Nicholls immediately shouted. “You can’t expect me to pay for this. Even the law won’t support it!”
“Really? Let’s see if the law supports it and how many years in prison you’ll get!” Martin Weiss said indifferently, but that tone sounded as if he had decided Shana Nicholls’s fate.
Shana Nicholls immediately stiffened and began to tremble. “Martin Weiss, you can’t do this to me. You brought all of this upon yourself. Who are you to make me pay for it?”
However, Martin Weiss only instructed his men like he was not interested, “Call the police.”
“Yes, Mr. Weiss,” the staff member beside him responded and took out a phone to call the police.
Shana Nicholls suddenly lost her temper and said, “Martin Weiss, you’re ruthless. You’re really ruthless. No wonder two of your women were sent to prison by you. You sent both Kyla and Paisley Daniels to prison. Are you going to send me to prison too?”
