Chapter 356:
Wesley lifted his gaze and asked, “How much is all this worth?”
With trembling hands, Amanda quickly tallied the amount. “Mr. Spencer, the total comes to three hundred and eighty million.”
Wesley’s face showed no change as he pointed at Jaelyn. “She caused all this damage. She’s footing the bill.”
“What?” Jaelyn’s complexion turned pale as she said, “Mr. Spencer, your men are the ones who caused all the damage. Why am I the one being blamed?”
A sinister sparkle appeared in Wesley’s eyes. “I’m merely using your logic against you. Do you see any issue with that? I said you broke them, and you did. Any objections?”
Wesley scanned the room, his tone icy. “Did anyone witness my people breaking these?”
The customers in the store shook their heads in unison.
“No, we saw nothing!”
“She’s the one who broke them.”
Jaelyn was completely stunned. How could these people be so blind? A sudden idea struck her, and she pointed at the security cameras. “There’s surveillance here. It can prove I’m innocent.”
Wesley looked over, and instantly Amanda began dismantling the cameras, crushing them on the floor and trampling over them. She said, “These cameras haven’t worked for some time. They didn’t record anything.”
Stunned and speechless, Jaelyn stood in disbelief. How did things come to this? She was innocent yet powerless to defend herself. Three hundred and eighty million—this amount would destroy her!
Jaelyn remained motionless for a long moment before the realization dawned on her. Wesley did this all for Elena. But how had Elena managed to become so close to Wesley? It suddenly made sense why the Spencer Group had severed ties with the Griffiths Group.
Jaelyn shot Elena a look of pure, venomous hatred. If Wesley hadn’t been there, she would have definitely lunged at Elena.
Jaelyn protested, “Mr. Spencer, everyone knows about your influence, but that doesn’t give you the right to distort the truth—”

“Shut up!” Leonardo burst in from outside, shooting a sharp look at Jaelyn. “Mr. Spencer, please forgive her naive words.”
Leonardo had traveled to Klathe for business purposes, with Jaelyn insisting on accompanying him. Upon learning that Jaelyn had upset Wesley, he rushed to the scene, panting as he quickly bowed and offered his apologies. Jaelyn was truly acting recklessly. Was she aware of the consequences? How could she possibly risk offending Wesley and putting the entire Griffiths family in danger?
Wesley remained composed. “What if I choose to hold a grudge?”
Leonardo’s expression stiffened. The Griffiths family simply couldn’t afford to make an enemy of Wesley. He turned and delivered a forceful slap across Jaelyn’s face.
Jaelyn stood frozen, her mind reeling from the sharp sting of the slap. Clutching her cheek, her eyes widened in shock as she confronted Leonardo, her voice trembling with outrage. “Leonardo, what the hell? You dare hit me?”
Leonardo, his brow furrowed in frustration, cursed under his breath. While he was negotiating deals in Klathe, Jaelyn had stirred up troubles behind his back. His patience worn thin, he snapped, his voice a harsh growl, “Shut your mouth! You have no say here!”
