Her Stepbrother Called Me Nobody, But I Own This City Chapter 7
Brian's voice was so loud it was getting on my nerves.I was about to tell him to shut up when one of Grant's men stepped out from the crowd and slapped him several times, until he finally fell silent."Enough!" Everly's voice rose as she fought off the guards like a madwoman, shielding Brian with her body."This has nothing to do with Brian! I was the one who was blind, the one who angered Mr. Ryder. It's all my fault. If you want revenge, take it out on me, but let Brian go!"Brian immediately clung to her, tears streaming down his face. "Everly, I knew you were the only one who truly cared about me."Pathetic. What an act.The whole scene was both pathetic and absurd. I couldn't help but raise my hands and lead a round of applause for their touching display of affection."How deeply moving. Since your love is so grand, I'll be merciful and let you go."As everyone stared in astonishment, I continued, "Take him and get out. I give you my word, on the Ryder family name, that no one wi

Three days later, the annual Veridian Summit convened as scheduled. The venue was our family's private estate on the mountaintop.My father and I entered the main conference hall. The eyes of every business titan immediately focused on us.I was wearing a bespoke suit and carrying a custom ebony cane. A strong painkiller suppressed the agony in my ankle. As long as I didn't move too sharply, I wouldn't limp, which would have been a disgrace to the family.Madeline hurried over, her expression tense."Mr. Ryder, Jax. You've arrived."I gave a polite nod, my gaze sweeping over the powerful figures seated at the long table who controlled the city's economy."Bring them in," my father ordered in a deep voice.Several heavily armed guards pushed a large, reinforced steel cage, stopping it directly under the crystal chandelier in the center of the hall.The entire room let out a collective, stifled gasp as they saw who was inside. Everly and Brian were huddled in a corner, looking utterly w

Everly tried to break free, the veins on her pale neck standing out. "Let me go! You have no idea what you're doing!"My father looked down at them, his eyes like he was observing two dying insects.His voice was flat, making the hall feel even colder. "When you ordered my son to be beaten, did you consider the consequences?"Then, he turned to me. The murderous frost in his eyes softened. "Jax, what do you want to do with them?"I dragged my injured ankle, stepping towards Brian. Each step was a searing agony, but the fury boiling in my bones kept me going.I grabbed the collar of his shirt and hauled him to his feet."What you did to me," I snarled, "I'm going to return the favor. Doubled."I swung my fist, a heavy punch that shattered his nose. Then I slammed his face against the marble floor, grinding it hard.Still not satisfied, I yanked him up by his hair and slapped him again.Brian's mouth was full of blood, his cheeks swollen, but he continued to curse, "You bastard! You just

The moment my father, Damian Ryder, stepped through the doors, the air in the grand hall turned to ice.His gaze was intensely oppressive, sweeping across the room before finally landing on me.But at that moment, I was still pinned to the floor.Brian, oblivious to the world of trouble he was in, actually sneered and approached him."Perfect timing. Your son tried to steal my property, and then he assaulted me. You both better get on your knees and apologize right now, or the Sinclair Group won't let you leave this place alive!"Whispers erupted from the crowd. A few guests approached my father, lowering their voices to offer urgent advice."Sir, don't be rash. Miss Everly dotes on Mr. Brian.""In Veridian City, angering the Sinclair Group is a death sentence.""For your own safety, and your son's, just bow your head. Staying alive is what matters."My father didn't even bother to look at them. He simply raised his hand with a blank expression.The two elite security guards behind him

My father had mentioned that Everly's mother, Madeline Sinclair, had bet almost everything she had to secure this marriage.If she knew her own daughter had sabotaged the deal, I would pay good money to watch her breakdown.The thought eased some of my irritation. I had no interest in wasting any more time with these fools, so I turned to leave.But Brian clearly wasn't finished.He advanced menacingly, his leather shoes clicking loudly. Behind him were two burly private security guards, the faint outlines of firearms under their suits instantly silencing the hall."You son of a bitch! You think you can just walk away after messing with me? You stole my estate, and now you pull this stunt! This isn't over!"I eyed him coldly. "Then what is it you want?"He clearly mistook my disdainful restraint for fear. He suddenly raised his hand and swung it hard at my face. "I'm going to knock your teeth out!"Before his hand could connect, I grabbed his wrist. I twisted it back forcefully. Then,

In my twenty-six years of life, no one had ever dared to speak to me that way."Say that again," I said, my voice dangerously low. "What, exactly, do you want me to do?""Are you fucking deaf? I said get on your knees like a dog and apologize to me, saying, ' I'm a worthless piece of trash.'"I chuckled. "You're loud enough. I heard you loud and clear—you are a worthless piece of trash."Brian's face instantly flushed red as he realized he'd been played. "You're asking for it! How dare you mock me on my own turf?"He roared and charged at me, his fists flailing wildly. The sight would have been comical if he wasn't so loud.In Veridian City, I had been training with my family's top combat experts since I was a child. This kind of sloppy, undisciplined brawling wasn't even a warm-up for me.I lifted my leg and drove a vicious, clean knee strike straight into his gut. Brian slammed onto the ground, curling up and groaning on the Persian rug.A wave of gasps swept through the banquet hall
