Chapter 6

Author: Peach Fizz
Seeing Billy rushing over with a group of senior executives, a smug smile immediately crept across Henry’s face. He assumed the old man, who had served the Jennings family for more than forty years, had come to back him up. After all, he was considered one of the rising stars in Jennings Group now.

He had planned exactly how he would exaggerate the story, accusing us of trying to scam them, just so Billy could see how he could deal with a pair of country bumpkins.

    Henry completely lost it. He lunged at Linda like a madman, his hands clamped tightly around her neck.“It’s all your fault! You damn woman! I’ll kill you!” he roared.Linda screamed and struggled, and the two of them rolled on the floor, blood and tears mixing together.I frowned in disgust and barked at the bodyguards, “Pull them apart. Don’t let them dirty my mall. Let the finance department sort out Henry’s debts later, whether it’s family punishment or repayment. If he refuses, take it to court.”As I turned to leave, I cast a cold glance at Linda.“You should feel lucky I don’t hit women. Otherwise…”I didn’t finish the sentence, but Linda understood me perfectly. She covered her wounds with tear-streaked hands and said nothing.“Hand them over to the Compliance Department. I’d like to see if they have any more dirty surprises up their sleeves.”With that, I stopped looking at the wreckage and walked over to Susie, who was nestled in Felix’s arms. She had fallen asleep, t

    I reached out and took the baseball bat. The weight in my hands felt reassuring.Immediately, the noise around us stopped. All eyes turned to me, including those of Henry and Linda, still tangled on the floor.Henry’s face was streaked with tears and snot, but his mouth twitched into a nervous, ingratiating smile. “Miss Joni… you…”However, his words didn’t get any further, because I swung the bat, the air whistling as it cut through, and slammed it hard across his back. He screamed, landing in a grotesque, contorted posture. He tried to lift his head and forced a desperate, pitiful smile.I stepped toward him with the bat in my hand and pressed my high heels into his neck, looking down at him from above. The noon sun streamed through the glass dome of my family’s mall, casting bright patches of light at my feet.I stood in the sunlight, while he sprawled in shadow like a beaten, abandoned dog.“Henry,” I said calmly, “you claimed earlier that the Jennings family is your family?”

    “I guess you’ve forgotten them, haven’t you?”His shoulders shook violently, his head bowing lower and lower, almost touching the floor.“Miss Joni… I–”“You don’t need to explain,” I said, letting my gaze sweep over the scattered cash. “You said Linda was the one egging you on, but it was you who used my sister’s life to threaten me. It was you who called me a fraud, and it was you who spat those cruel words at me.”I laughed. “Henry, don’t lie to yourself. This isn’t about her egging you on. You were just using her as a shield for your own misdeeds. Deep down, you’ve decided that the Jennings family’s kindness to you is something from a past life, haven’t you?“You think that now, as my brother’s trusted right-hand man, the rising star in the Jennings Group, and someone who can casually throw around a million-dollar custom order, you can lay a hand and humiliate people like me, who come to the mall with nothing, and it’s fine, don’t you?”“No! That’s not it!” Henry raised his h

    He turned and glared at Linda, who was still sprawled on the floor. The hatred in his eyes was so vicious that it looked like he wanted to kill her.“It was you! It’s all your fault, you wicked woman! You said it yourself just now that they were dressed so plainly and that they were obviously poor people trying to scam our money! It’s all your fault! It’s always you! I was just confused for a moment!”Linda lost it. “Henry, you’re so full of it! You’re the one who always jumps at any chance to bully people just to show off your authority, and now you’re pushing everything onto me? Are you even a man? What kind of man are you?”Henry’s expression changed instantly. He scrambled to his feet and tried to lunge at her, but the bodyguards pinned him down before he could reach her. All he could do was struggle uselessly.“You’re the jealous one! You can’t stand seeing anyone look better than you. First, you deliberately bumped into them, and then you tried to grab their medicine! Linda,

    Bundles of crisp banknotes were stacked neatly inside the case. In an instant, every pair of eyes in the area was drawn to it.People around us gasped. Someone’s phone slipped from their hand and clattered to the floor. Others instinctively covered their mouths in shock. For a moment, the air itself seemed to freeze under the weight of that box of money.“How much is that?”“Oh my, those two were actually the impostors, and they even tried to mess with the real Miss Joni.”“Tsk, tsk. Just look at how arrogant they were a moment ago.”“Here is ten million, and not a penny less,” I said as I stood up, holding Susie in my arms. A dull pain shot through my knee, making me stagger slightly, but Felix quickly stepped forward to steady me. I handed Susie over to him before I walked to the case and lightly kicked one corner of it.“You wanted an apology. I brought it. Didn’t Linda say she wanted ten million? Go ahead and count it. This ten million should be enough to buy ten of your so

They even tried to extort Linda–”Before he could finish his sentence, the dragon-headed cane in Billy’s hand struck the back of his knee.Caught off guard, Henry’s legs buckled, and he dropped straight to his knees. Pain twisted his face as he gasped, “Billy?”“You disgraceful wretch!” Billy trembled with fury, his voice shaking with rage. “Old Mr. Jennings may be overseas right
