    Chapter 264 A Bunch of Trash


    Caroline chuckled with frustration. “Were we close in the past?”


    Upon hearing her question, Jade erupted, “Oh, my brother! You died so miserably. Your daughter’s


    wealthy now, but she acts like she doesn’t know us!


    “My mother, my brother! Who will bring us justice? We can’t survive. It’s better to die…”


    Caroline clenched her fists on herp, ring at Jade’s dramatic outburst. She couldn’t fathom it. Her


    father had great gambling debts in the past, yet they had never kept in touch. Why were they suddenly


    here?


    Caroline was lost in thought when a sudden, sharp crash interrupted her. Looking up, she saw Gigi


    smashing a rabbit ornament Neil had given her when she first started herpany.


    “What a piece of junk! It shattered when it fell,” Gigi remarked with disdain.


    Pursing her lips, Gigi reached for another item on the disy cab–a vase on the third shelf. She


    couldn’t reach it, so Gregory helped her retrieve it.


    Caroline couldn’t take it any longer. She stood up and leered at them. “If you can converse politely. my


    employees, I won’t

    I can stay calm, too. But if you continue breaking my things and disruption converse politely.


    hesitate to use force to stop you.”


    Brandon clutched his chest andughed wickedly. I’m shaking in my boots.”


    As he spoke, he approached Caroline and leaned in. “You’re going to use violence to stop us?”


    Brandon was ufortably close, and his foul breath made Caroline cringe. She swallowed her


    difort and stared him down. “Yes,”


    “Go on, then!” Brandon raised his phone and pushed it toward Caroline. “Hit me! Get someone to hit


    1. me. I’ll record it. How shameless can you be!”


    Caroline’s anger boiled over. She swatted his phone away and pped him. “Stop being rude!”


    Jade, who had been crying, rushed over to cradle Brandon’s face. When she saw the red handprint on


    her son’s face, she pointed at Caroline and scolded her. “Shameless! How dare you p my son?”


    She rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, ready to teach Caroline a lesson.


    Brandon intervened, “Mom, don’t hit her! Let her do it.”


    While speaking, he lifted his red face and gestured at Caroline. “Go on. Hit me. I’ll have plenty to


    say when the reporters arrive”


    “What do you want?” Caroline asked.

    “Not much,” Brandon replied. “We want to stay with you for a while. You’re living in a vi, right? Let us


    experience it, too.”


    Caroline offered, “I can arrange a hotel for you.”


    “No, we want to stay at your ce. If not, we’ll expose it on the Inte.”


    Caroline closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She had to endure this, at least for now. If more


    negative news came out, it would harm herpany further.


    Gritting her teeth, she said, “Fine! I’ll take you home with me.”


    Suppressing her emotions, Caroline left the office with her troublesome family.


    The employees who had witnessed the spectacle quickly retreated to their offices.


    Once Caroline and her guests were gone, they exchanged worried remarks.


    “What kind of people are they?”


    “Why does Ms. Shenton have such shameless rtives?”


    “Every family has its problems. We can’t help her, but we can work hard here.”


    Naomi said, “It’s better to work than gossip.”


    Everyone fell silent.
