Henry was buried in paperwork. He rubbed his forehead, trying to focus on the stack of documents in front of him: supplier invoices, delivery schedules, and a dozen issues of the showroom.Since being the manager, he had been trying as much as possible to make sure he didn’t disappoint Damian and Rebecca,Then he heard it.A sudden crash. Raised voices. The unmistakable sound of chaos erupting outside the showroom.Henry froze for half a second before pushing back his chair and rushing out of the office.The moment he reached the main floor, he saw staff huddled behind the counters, whispering anxiously. At the glass entrance, several rough-looking men stood blocking the doorway, their presence heavy and aggressive. One of them banged a fist against the glass, making the entire panel shake.“What’s going on here?” Henry demanded, stepping forward.The tallest of the men turned, a smirk curling on his lips. “Finally, the new boss shows up.”“We don’t have problems with you,” another ma

What was happening?Why would the mobster boss go on his knees before the young man?At this time, Damian waved his hand, “Adam, tell your men to lock the door. I don’t want anyone stepping inside again.”Adam hurriedly nodded and even had to send some of his men out, but neither Barney nor the other three were asked to leave.When the door was locked, Adam turned to face Damian. “Mr Grayson, I didn’t know you were here. Are you the owner of the showroom?”“Yes, I own the showroom. Since when do groups start charging ‘operational fees’ like that? Isn’t tax collection supposed to be the government’s responsibility in this region?”“You are right, Mr Grayson, but my men and I are providing support and security for the people around,” Adam replied. “But, since you are the owner of this showroom, I will ask my men to stay away from your office. They will never step foot here again.”Barney was confused, he wondered who Damian was and why his boss would be polite and act scared before the

“That’s enough!” he barked, his voice slicing through Maxwell’s hesitance. “If Anastasia is to be ours again, we’ll have to bring the Lewis family to their knees first.”Maxwell’s mouth tightened; he watched his father with a mixture of curiosity and unease. “How, exactly?” he asked,“Camilla,” he said simply. “She’s greedy. Ambitious. Foolish enough to believe anything that glitters when it promises more.”“Camilla! She already put ten-and-a-half million into the project. If we promise her twenty million, her return on investment, she’ll throw herself at us. She’d fund anything that doubles her money.”Douglas smiled. “We leverage her greed to create pressure. We pay her a handsome return early, stagger payments, make it look legitimate, then we ask for more, for expansion, for permits. By the time she realizes she’s been burned, the Lewis family will be financially entangled and emotionally compromised.”Maxwell tapped the table, thinking through the logistics. “We’ll need to make t

Adam furrowed his brow as he stared at the young doctor, and he replied, “Why, my wife’s condition may be something no doctors can help with; surely it’s no challenge for someone like Mr. Grayson.”Dr. James shook his head, “We have identified your wife’s sickness, but I’m afraid nothing can be done, we are experts and if I myself could have treated her, I would have done so already given your personality, your wife’s condition is severe,”Adam turned to Damain who had been silent since the doctor’s arrival. James added, “Mr. Scott, the hospital has already reached out to specialists, but all those who came said the same thing. If we can’t help, what makes you think this young man can do something? If we let him do anything and make a mistake, won’t you blame the hospital for the consequences?”“If you want, we can let you sign a statement of agreement, so we don’t get blamed if something should happen to your wife.”Adam first clenched by his side as he said, “Dr James, I will sign

“For now, I will keep it a secret until your wife fully recovers,” Damian stated.After leaving the hospital, Damian went straight to his house. Upon arriving, he received a call from Clinton Lewis.For a moment, Damian thought about answering it. He let out a deep sigh as he accepted the call.“Hello, Mr. Lewis.”“Damian,” The old man called, just like he always does, and this made Damian smile. “Please, I need something from you, it’s important.”“What could that be?” Damian replied with a furrowed brow.“Remember I mentioned wanting you to assist Anastasia? She’ll be going to Sterling Capital Group tomorrow to settle the company’s old debt and apply for a new loan. I’d like someone experienced to go with her, and you came to mind.”Damian was confused, what was this old man playing at? Why him? He hesitated for a moment, “Mr. Lewis Senior.”Clinton interrupted, “Don’t call me that, Damian. You can call me Grandfather, I will be happy with that.” He also added, “I will not accept
