ude clutched his chest, taking a while to catch his breath.


    A few of his underlings rushed over, scrambling to help him up.


    “Oli… It’s this bastard! Even after seeing you arrive, he still dares toy his hands on me… Look… my


    jaw got dislocated…”


    ude pointed to his cheek in pain. The left side of his cheekbone was noticeably indented.


    “Shut up!”


    Olivia pped him across the face.


    ude spat out a mouthful of blood from the impact. Darkness clouded his vision, and his ears


    rang.


    “Oli… why…”


    ude covered his face and backed away.


    Then, he looked toward several of the family’s great-grandmasters. “You people… attack this instant!”


    The two elderly figures lowered their heads.


    As core members of the Lees, they were aware of some of Nash’s secrets.


    The overwhelming aura that came from being in the Profound Reality Realm had them struggling to


    breathe.


    “Nash… he’s my cousin… Can… Can you spare him a little…”


    Olivia stammered.


    She would rather ude offend the governor of Jonford than Nash, the man known for annihting the


    Green Bamboo Association!


    “You ought to rein him in!”


    Nash nced at ude. “If it weren’t for the Lees’ sake, he wouldn’t even be standing now!”


    Olivia grinned. “Thank you, Nash. I’ll make sure to discipline him when we get back.”


    She then looked at the sleeve of Nash’s right arm. “Nash, what happened here?”


    “It’s nothing, just a minor scratch.”


    Nash dismissed her query.


    Olivia turned her fierce gaze back to ude. “I’ll deal with you when we get back…”


    ude’s legs weakened from fear.


    His cousin did not pamper him like his uncle did.


    Her husband was the son of the Skyes, giving her a high status in the family.


    No one would stop her from taking action against ude.


    At that moment, Angelica entered with several inspectors.


    Upon seeing Olivia and the battered ude, she could guess what had transpired.


    “Mr. Calcraft… was it you who called earlier?”


    “Yes, there’s something suspicious about this girl’s father… I suggest you investigate,” Nash said,


    pointing to the dazed Luna beside him.


    Luna tremblingly defended, saying, “My… My father isn’t suspicious!”


    Regardless of his actions, he was still her father.


    That was why she had not reported him.


    Moreover, her father was not always like this. After her gold-digging mother left him for a wealthier


    man, he went down the wrong path.

    Angelica could naturally sense that Luna was protecting her father. She sternly said, “If your father has


    indeedmitted illegal actions and you’re covering for him, you’ll be charged with aiding and


    abetting!”


    Luna bit her lip and shuddered.


    Nash looked at Olivia and said calmly, “The Lees’ son shouldn’t becking in women anyway. Why


    does he need to buy them?”


    Olivia said tremblingly, “It’s our fault for not disciplining him better. Please, Nash. Forgive us. I’ll keep a


    closer eye on ude in the future.”


    Nash turned to Luna. “How much did he pay your father?”


    Luna shook her head. “My father didn’t sell me…’


    She knew if she said too much, her father would end up in jail.


    Seeing Nash’s determination to see this through, Olivia hurriedly said, “Nash… how about you


    let me handle this? I’ll make sure to resolve this issue properly for her.”


    Just then, the shop owner emerged holding a bouquet of pink roses. “Sir, your roses are ready!”


    Seeing so many people in the store, her face turned tense.


    Nash checked the time and realized it was past ten in the evening.


    “Alright, make sure you handle this properly!”
