Tiger's face changed as he snapped his head around to look at Adeline. "Miss Thatcher, what's the meaning of this?"

She backed up and leaned into Julian. "Jay, I didn't lie to you. Look, Tiger's indeed hiding here!"

Julian laughed. "Yes. You did well this time. I'll be visiting you the next few nights!"

Tiger's face hardened when he heard that. "Adeline, y-you dare betray me?"

She stood tall and rebuked, "Watch your words! Who betrayed you? Who do you think you are? You're just an ordinary thug off the streets. Who are you for me to betray you?" Tiger gritted his teeth and questioned, "Why did you do this, Adeline? When have I crossed you?"

She replied coldly, "Hmph! You're Matthew's subordinate. So, you must die. My father was stupid to go against the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale to save trash like you. So, I would have to make up for his mistakes on his behalf."

Tiger's eyes widened as he stared at her and snickered. "Make up for his mistakes? Ha. You really are dumb, Adeline. Do you think that the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale will let the Thatcher Family off the hook after you helped them catch me? I hate to break it to you, but their first target would be your family no matter what you do."

The color drained from her face as Adeline refuted, "That's nonsense! I've helped the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale so much. Why would they target my family?"

He snickered. "Nonsense? Ha. Maybe you should ask the young master of the Huntington Family right next to you and see if I'm saying nonsense."

She immediately looked toward Julian, who smiled at Tiger instead. "Master Tiger from South Street. You've got some brains. Ha ha. Impressive that you could see through us."

Adeline widened her eyes at Julian's words that indirectly admitted what Tiger said was true.

"Jay, is there some sort of misunderstanding? I've helped you capture Tiger. W-Why do you still want to destroy the Thatcher Family?" She held onto his arm tightly.

However, he only pushed her off impatiently. "Why? Hmph. The Thatcher Family sealed their fate the moment they saved Tiger."

Anxious, she got worked up. "But, I helped you capture Tiger..."

Tiger pursed his lips. "It means nothing that you helped them capture me. The Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale would take control over the whole of Eastshire since they made their entrance known. If my hunch is right, there'll be at least five families that are going to be swapped from the ranking of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire. They'll pick the five families eligible to join the ranking so that they'll be able to have full control of Eastshire. Under these circumstances, whoever comes out to object to them will be destroyed and the Thatcher Family was the only one that stood out. You think they'll let the Thatcher Family off the hook?"

Adeline was dumbfounded as she fell in a heap in disbelief. She could not understand why things turned out this way.

She had sacrificed all she had and even gave up her dignity to lick Julian's boots.

Initially, she thought she could use this opportunity to make a name for herself, but she didn't expect this to be the outcome. Putting aside how she was toyed with, she even lost all her dignity.

Most importantly, the Thatcher Family couldn't avoid facing destruction. How could she accept that?

Julian side-eyed Tiger. "I commend you on your analysis. You're smart. Too bad smart people don't live long. Take him away!"

Then, two men walked over and were about to capture Tiger.

However, Tiger suddenly made his move and landed two punches on the two men's faces.

Julian's face fell as he pointed at Tiger and exclaimed, "You... Weren't your arms broken?"
