"You''re J, aren''t you? The one who killed my sister? What did she do to deserve that?"
"You won''t escape our grasp, you monster!"
"Either go to jail orpensate us financially! We won''t let you get away with this!"
The towering men fired off usations, their greedy, predatory gazes roving over J, calcting
the potential mary gain they could squeeze from her.

and cold calction, akin to a pack of wild beasts hungrily sizing up their next meal.

Their brazen stares and vulgar words ignited a me of fury in J.
She didn''t believe they were seeking justice for Vivi; instead, it seemed like a thinly veiled attempt to
exploit her supposed guilt for their own financial gain.
"Seems to me you''re more interested in my wallet than in justice," J retorted, struggling to keep
her anger in check. "If it''s just money you want, I suggest you turn around. We have nothing further
to discuss."
One of the burly men balled his hands into fists, his eyes zing with fury. "Your wallet? Mind your
words! You took my niece from us. Isn''t it fair that we get some rpense? Money can''t fix what
you''ve done. It''s only just that you pay with your own life."
"Exactly! What''s wrong with demanding
With just a few venomous words, they''d pinned the murder on J. She nearlyughed in bitter
disbelief. "So, how much will it take to soothe your wounded hearts?"
Their eyes lit up at the prospect of extortion, a spark of sadistic pleasure shing in their eyes.
The ringleader cleared his throat, eyes gleaming as he raised a single finger.
J snorted in disbelief, "One million?"
The self-proimed leader squared his shoulders, his chin jutting out defiantly. "One million? That''s
a pittance... It doesn''t begin to cover Vivi''s lost life. She was young, vibrant, with a full life ahead.
Fairpensation would be a hundred million! But we won''t be that demanding. Just ten million will
suffice."
J was taken aback by their audacity. She couldn''t help a cold, bitterugh, her heart somewhat
aching for Vivi.
Her so-called family were merely leeches, devoid of emotion. They showed no interest in the truth
of Vivi''s demise; they simply saw it as a golden opportunity to fill their pockets.
For them, the identity of the perpetrator didn''t matter as long as they were paid off. Vivi''s tragic end
never factored into their twisted equation.
Seeing this, fury surged within Brandon like a tidal wave.
These people had started slinging mud at J the moment they saw her. They weren''t here to
seek justice for Vivi, but to wring money from her!
Brandon''s features twisted into a scowl as he
stepped in, cing himself between the users and J.
"Utter one more nderous word, and you''ll rue the day you crossed our path," Brandon warned,
his toneced with menace, his eyes promising retribution. "Keep spouting this nonsense and I''ll
make you regret."
As soon as the words left his lips, the door burst open and bodyguards flooded into the room. They
were well-drilled, forming a protective wall around Brandon and J.
The room''s atmosphere turned electric. The robust men''s expressions morphed into shock at the
sudden appearance of the formidable bodyguards, realizing that they were outmatched. Sensing
the futility of their confrontation, they reluctantly mped their mouths shut.
The elderly pair, who had been weeping earlier, were so startled by the scene that they huddled
together, their crying reced with trembling fear.
J''s heart softened at the sight of the frightened seniors.
She gently pulled at Brandon''s sleeve and met his gaze, signaling that she wished to handle the
situation herself.
With J''s safety guaranteed, Brandon gave his unwavering support to her decision.
The imposing bodyguards kept the reception room in an eerie silence. The burly men didn''t dare stir
any further trouble, even taking a few synchronized steps back.
J moved forward, standing tall, and locked eyes with Vivi''s aged parents.
"I am not the one who took Vivi''s life, and I won''t be paying you a single dime," she dered with
unwavering conviction.
At J''s refusal, the burly men''s faces soured, their hopes of easy money dashed.
