Chapter 1279


    Janine stomped her cane on the floor before raising it, pointing at therge screen. “Open your eyes


    and take a good look! You dragged the Bakers into these outrageous things! What a longstanding


    friendship!”


    Several data transactions involved the Bakers, but Janine had taken precautions to avoid any funds of


    unclear origin, preventing a crisis.


    Albert’s n had gone awry. He had hoped to control the Bakers as well…


    Zuko nced around, and the inclothes police officers prepared to take action.


    Nevertheless, Albert persisted before Janine, using a different approach this time. “Madam Baker! I


    didn’t want to do this, but several investments of the Harpers failed, and the amount involved was too


    large. We couldn’t turn it around, so we borrowed from the charity fund!”


    He moved forward and grabbed Janine’s arm, almost kneeling.


    Janine gave him a disgusted look. “Save your excuses for the police!”


    “Madam Baker—”


    “And I’ve handed the evidence to the police in Chaisnd! This isn’t the only crime the Harpers have


    committed.” Janine looked at him coldly. “Embezzling charity funds, lending with high interest, and


    ruining countless families? Haven’t you had nightmares spending this kind of money?”Books Chapters

    Desiree approached to hold Janine, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded.

    Albert hesitated but remainedposed. He saw Desiree grabbing Janine’s hand and Janine trying to


    shake them off…


    In an instant, he gnashed his teeth and smashed his wine ss. Then, he picked up a shard of ss,


    pressing it against Janine’s throat!


    “Ah!” The guests screamed in shock.


    But the closest people to Janine were Albert and Desiree!


    Janine froze for a moment. Before she could react, Albert grabbed her neck and pressed the shard


    against her carotid artery!


    “Don’te any closer!” Albert’s eyes glinted with killing intent. “Take a step forward, and I’ll kill her


    right now!”


    “Albert Harper!” Zephyr and Cordelia rushed forward but didn’t dare to make any reckless moves.


    Despite the pain from being dragged around, Janine’s determination remained like a flickering star,


    refusing to be extinguished.


    “Albert… I’m already old. Even if I die here today, it’ll still be a worthy death… But you and your


    precious daughter won’t escape!” Janine said.


    Albert smirked. “Madam Baker, if you die by my hand, that won’t be considered a worthy death! Both of


    us will perish together! You should ask your kid and grandchildren whether they’d like that or not!”


    “Albert, let go of my grandmother!” Toph wanted to rush forward, but Zuko held him back.


    The crowd had dispersed, leaving only a few inclothes police officers surrounding them, remaining


    vignt.


    A bead of sweat rolled down Albert’s face.


    He gritted his teeth. “Zephyr, if the police dare to arrest me, I’ll kill your mother in front of you. I’d love to


    see who is quicker, the police or me.”


    Albert signaled to Desiree, who was somewhat panicked. Still, she obeyed his instruction and took out


    the gun holstered to his waist.
