Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Carlos’s words made Maddy even more disappointed, and her heart sank further.
It was clear that Carlos wanted her and Jordan to take all the responsibility so that the Bransons wouldn’t be angry with the Stones.
Maddy wasn’t surprised by his choice, but she was saddened that Carlos’s expression was subservient and terrified when he said this. He wasn’t worried about her at all.
At this moment, he had completely given up their father-daughter ties of many years.
Lucas glanced at Carlos coldly. If it wasn’t because he was Maddy’s biological father, Lucas wouldn’t let him off.

Maddy raised her feet and was about to walk forward when Jordan pulled her behind him.
“I killed your son. If you want someone to take responsibility, just come at me.” Jordan stepped forward and looked at Eric calmly.
Eric narrowed his eyes and glowered at Jordan.
This young man was the murderer of his son Mark. No matter what, he would make him pay for it with his life!
“Punk, you’re really arrogant. Not only are you not repentant for killing my son, but you’re so arrogant in front of me! You should already know my identity and the fate you’re about to face, huh?”
Eric’s eyes were brimming with killing intent.
Jordan remained fearless. “Aren’t you just from the Branson family? Speaking of which, it was your son who thought he was all high and mighty and took the initiative to provoke me. Not only did he attack me first, but he even used a knife and wanted to kill me! But he was incompetent and ended up having his limbs broken by me.
“However, I didn’t expect him to die easily after having his limbs broken.”
Jordan shrugged.
In fact, Jordan really felt a little speechless about Mark’s death. He had merely broken Mark’s limbs and turned him into a cripple, yet Mark had ended up dying.
What Jordan said undoubtedly provoked Eric, causing him to grit his teeth in fury.
“Tell me! How did my son die?” Eric suddenly looked at Becky, who was being pressed against the ground by one of his bodyguards with her head held up by her hair.
Becky’s heart trembled as she hurriedly said, “Yes, it’s him! He was really arrogant since we met in the clothing store. Later, he even hit Mark because of a disagreement and broke his limbs! At the time, Mark... Mark screamed so loudly that the entire store could hear him. I begged him to stop, but he refused to listen!
“Uncle Eric, Mark died of pain! He died so tragically. You mustn’t let this bastard off!
“Oh right, and the woman behind him is Maddy Stone. She’s the one who started this. If it wasn’t for her, Mark wouldn’t have encountered such a mishap. She’s the culprit and the cause of it all. Uncle Eric, you mustn’t let her off either!”
Becky spoke with great resentment, but what she said couldn’t be further from the truth. She twisted facts and put all the blame on Jordan and Maddy.
In particular, when she accused Maddy of being the culprit, she couldn’t conceal the hatred in her eyes at all. She wanted Maddy to die immediately!
Mark frowned and sneered. “Becky Sanders, you’re really good at twisting facts! You clearly provoked us first. You even repeatedly instigated Mark to attack my boyfriend and me. Now that you’re afraid of the Bransons holding you accountable, you pushed all the blame to us. You’re really shameless!”

A trace of panic flashed across Becky’s face, but she gritted her teeth and said, “Now that things have come to this, stop arguing! It’s all your fault, bitch!”
Becky was a shameless villain, but in order to survive, she became even more spineless.
Maddy knew that it was pointless to argue with such a shameless person, so she looked straight at Eric.”If you want to know the truth, there are surveillance cameras in the clothing store and the store’s staff. No one can twist the facts easily!
“Mr. Branson, I think you’re a smart person, so you should already have a clear idea of what happened. You won’t be easily fooled by this woman, will you?”
Eric rubbed his fingers and looked at Maddy with narrowed eyes. This woman seems different from the other Stones. She has quite a backbone.
Eric had naturally sent his men to find out the truth, but so what?
“I’m not interested in the truth or any other bullshit you have to say! I only know that you people caused my son’s death. So no matter who’s right or wrong, you must all go to hell with my son!” Eric’s face was covered in murderous intent as he said to his bodyguards, “Go capture them both and bring them back to the Branson residence!”
With his order, four of his bodyguards immediately rubbed their fists and walked toward Jordan and Maddy.
Jordan stood in front of Maddy like a brick wall and said coldly, “I’m giving you a warning. If you leave with your people now, I can spare your lives.”
Eric was stunned for a moment, but then he instantly flew into a rage.
“Brat, I don’t think you have a clear idea of the situation now! My subordinates are about to capture you. Do you think you have the right to continue being arrogant in front of me?” Eric said.
Jordan said coldly, “Want to capture me? You and the Bransons are not qualified!”
Hearing this, almost everyone was stunned!
Who was Eric Branson? Eric was the second most powerful figure in the Branson family and the future helmsman of the family!
And who was Jordan? How dare he speak to Eric like this and even say that he wasn’t qualified? He was incredibly arrogant!
Even the Stones, who had witnessed how powerful Jordan was, weren’t optimistic about him.
The Bransons were one of the eight most powerful families in DC, while Jordan only knew some martial arts. Did he really think he was invincible?
Eric was furious. “Okay, great! What an arrogant kid! Wait a little longer. I will make you regret saying that! I’ll make you wail in pain and beg for mercy!”
Just as Eric was about to order his men to make a move, he suddenly heard a mocking voice from behind. “Eric Branson, trust you to have the cheek to blow your trumpet! You’re not going to lay a finger on him today!”
Everyone was stunned and turned their heads to look. A woman decked out in luxurious clothes was walking over slowly with a group of bodyguards behind her.
