Faye scanned the people at the scene with a cold expression and spoke icily, "Are they not worth my protection?"

The bearded man argued, "None of these people here are good people. They have done all kinds of bad things for money without exception. You claim to be a representative of justice. Is this your idea of justice?"

The man's voice was loud, and many people at the scene heard his words.

Some felt resentful, thinking they hadn't done anything wrong and were just conducting normal business. They were about to speak up in defense when Faye laughed. "So what?"

Agitated, the man said, "So what? Why should these evildoers receive property and protection, while we endure so much suffering because of their greed? Do you know what these people have done for money?"

Faye replied, "If they did something wrong, the law will punish them. You have no right to punish them with illegal means. How are you different from any of them then? You're just breaking the law under the guise of rig

    Cedric carried 'Faye' into a room to rest when he ran into Joel. Joel and Cedric weren't on the best terms.After all, Official Hart was close with the Anderson family and was a personal friend of Owen. Joel, as the second-in-command's secretary, was well aware of who his boss liked and disliked. It wasn't that he was being arrogant. However, he needed to accommodate Official Hart in all aspects possible, so he had always been cold and distant whenever Cedric was present. He knew he couldn't afford to cross Cedric, but that didn't mean he couldn't dislike Cedric either. This was the first time he treated Cedric with the same level of respect as he did with Official Hart. "Mr. Shaw, there's something I need your help with. Can we talk now?" Joel asked with his head slightly lowered. Cedric smiled politely. "Please go on."Joel lowered his voice. "Here's the thing, my boss was hit by the chandelier and was taken by the pirates.

    Avery didn't know what he meant and looked confused. "I don't know what you're talking about."She recalled her phone call and frowned before looking at Jason mockingly. "Are you referring to the phone call just now?"He scoffed. "So you admit that you're seeing someone else?""Ha!" She snorted and shot him a sarcastic look. "I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Keane. What do you mean by someone else? I'm single, so isn't it my right to date as I please?"At this point, Jason realized he acted recklessly because of the phone call. She was right.

    When the ship finally docked, it was already six or seven in the morning. Before the ship anchored, Faye held Cedric's hand and came to the deck.

With various foreign forces stationed, managing the city was challenging. This was why the country assigned a security team to protect this place.

    Faye didn't think much about what happened at the dock. After staying up all night, she didn't hurry back to Jorn City and instead went to sleep in Pembrook.

She didn't have to wait for long because she received a phone call from Tracy later that afternoon. "Faye, you could've come at me if you were upset. Why did you target Grandma? She treated you well, yet you killed her over such trivial matters. Are you even human?"Faye smirked. "Since when do you care about her, Tracy?""What are you talking about? That's our grandmother. You did this, didn't you?""Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it?" Faye sneered. "Don't think that you can do anything you want just because you married someone rich. Faye, don't even dream of getting your murderer of a mother out! I won't let you. You better come back to Jeorgia, or this won't ever be over."With that, Tracy hung up.

    Clark's words only enraged Flora. Eleanor abused Faye when she was a child, which led to Faye getting sick repeatedly. She even allowed Lizzie to go into their home to poison Faye while Flora was at work. Faye suffered through so much hardship at the time and came close to dying. She was already poisoned when she was pregnant with Faye, which meant Faye was born with poison in her body. Though Flora tried her best to counter the poison, Faye was still more frail than ordinary children. Eleanor knew that Faye wasn't Clint's child, so she had always been displeased with her. "Had I known that she's the kind of person who can harm a child, I would never leave Faye with her." Rage filled Flora's eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Eleanor started coughing on the bed. Clark shouted and ran outside to get the doctor. Until the doctor arrived, there were two minutes when Flora was alone with Eleanor. It wasn't until the doctor arrived that Flora found out Clark didn't even

    Lizzie and Clint were momentarily stunned, confused by Tracy's words. "I just received a call from Uncle. He said that Grandma passed away and we need to go home."Clint jolted and collapsed onto the ground. "What?"Tracy smirked. "They can't reach you or Mom, so he called me instead. We need to go home right now.""Ha! So what if she's dead? She doesn't see us as family, so why should we go back?" Lizzie scoffed in contempt. Eleanor disliked her right from the start. If Eleanor didn't stop her from marrying Clint at the very beginning, Flora would have never gotten married to Clint. Though Eleanor helped get rid of Flora in the end, she continued to mistreat Lizzie when she finally married Clint. Eleanor resented Flora for being too strong-willed and disrespectful. However, she looked down on Lizzie for not being as talented as Flora and incapable of bringing more profit to the Brown family. She kept comparing Lizzie to Flora and bossed her around.
