Janet’s smile hardened. “Someone here,” she said. “She’s been performing for us. We need a demonstration, show us who she can command.”The thug’s eyes swept the room, he glanced at everyone in the room. He looked them up and down, dragging his eyes slowly. “You,” he said with a leer. “You caused trouble?” the lady he pointed shook her head.“No, it’s not me.”Mia swallowed, terrified of the man who was asking everyone in the room who had made Janet angry. She felt Harrison’s voice in her ear through the phone. “Stay on the line, don’t speak unless you need to. I’m on my way.”Mia was glad he was listening. His assurance made her beating heart calm. She pressed down her lips and didn’t answer the thug.“You will tell me who upset you.” Mr. Bob said again, stepping closer to the table, he pulled out a heavy baton and hit it against the table, smashing it. It made Mia jerk back. “Speak.” He yelled at everyone in the room.Anna’s lips curved in the smallest smile. “Tell him.” she told Ja

“Hand it over,” The thug snarled, tightening his grip on Mia’s hand, she winced in pain, but pressed down her lips. “Just save all of us the time and energy and say you would hand over that contract to Janet, why are you so stubborn?”Mia shook her head, tears spilling from her eyes down her cheek. “I earned that contract,” she said, lifting her chin even though her voice shook. “I can’t just let you steal what I spent sleepless night and effort to get.”“Oh please, Janet laughed, then leaned back in her chair, legs crossed over the other. “Earned it? Don’t make me laugh, contracts don’t go to people who don’t know how to beg.”“You’re a disgrace,” Mia shot back. “You’re a petty schemer who ruins people for fun.”“She’s not a schemer.” David shot back and smiled slowly. “Janet is smart, and you… what are you?” he scoffed, dragging his eyes from her head to her toe. “You’re just a charity case who somehow tricked Diamond Global into signing. Just admit it.. you slept with someone, paid

Mr. Bob turned around slowly, his face changed from surprise to fear when he saw Harrison, the look in Harrison’s eyes sent chill down his spine. The other thugs stepped back.“Who the hell are you?” The thug asked, trying to sound brave, but his voice shook a little.Harrison didn’t answer, he looked at Mia, her eyes met his, and he saw relief in them. That gave him more strength, although there were tears in her eyes, but the way she looked at him like her hero made him brave.“I am the one who will make you regret laying a hand on her.” Harrison said. His words were cold. “Let her go, now.”Mr. Bon laughed, but it was a nervous laugh. “This is none of your business. We have our own rules here.”Janet scoffed, glaring at Harrison, the words she was saying earlier died in her tongue. She was very angry at the sight of him. Her face was read, and her hands were clenched into fist.She pointed straight at Harrison. “You think you are so smart showing up here?” she shouted. “You ruined

From the corner of the room, David, spoke up joining in the taunts. He stepped forward with his arms crossed over his chest.“Yeah,” David laughed. “You picked the wrong fight, Harrison, who haven’t heard of Victor’s gang, you should be trembling.” He smirked. “You think you’re so strong? You’re nothing. Just all alone here, no one is coming to save you.”Janet joined in with a mocking smile. “He’s right,” she glanced at Mia. “Hey, Mia, look at the big hero now, he can’t fight his way out of this situation, you should save your lives by handing over the contract to me.”Janet glanced back at Harrison. “You always act like you’re stronger than everyone. But today you will lose. Mr. Bob will teach you a lesson you’ll never forget.”David continued, taunting Harrison directly. “Remember how you looked down on us before? Now you’re finished, you both look so pathetic.”Janet tilted her head, curling a lock of her hair around her finger. “Run if you want, Harrison…” she paused. “Ah… you ca

David blinked and tried to speak. His voice shook a little. “Sir, there must be some mistake. My family sent you, right? We are on the same side.”Victor laughed shortly, the smile didn’t reach his eyes. “Don’t flatter yourself. Who do you think you are?” He snapped at them.David slowly held Janet in his arms. “Are you alright?” He asked, scrutinizing her face.Janet’s brows pulled together in a tight frown, still holding her face. Tears of pain and anger filled her eyes. She had been so proud only moments ago. Now she looked small and foolish.Janet turned to Victor, anger burned in her eyes. she could not stay quiet anymore. “I am the heir of the Edward family!” She said loudly and angrily. “How dare you slap me? My family is powerful. You will regret this.”Victor looked at her, his lips curled into a sneer. His voice was cold and strong. “The heir to Edward family? So what?” His brows drew together. “Even the patriarch of Edward family would speak to me with respect. You are just
