"Give it to me? Don't joke around. I'm not cut out for business!" Justin gave a bitter smile. "Miss Nolan, you should manage it yourself. I'm not suited for that!""That won't do! You're not working right now anyway, and managing a bank wouldn't be so bad!" Audrey insisted, clearly convinced Justin was the perfect person for the job.Meanwhile, Cillian nodded slightly. He had no doubts about Justin's capabilities and could also see that his granddaughter had feelings for him. At the same time, he was in urgent need of a successor and sincerely hoped Audrey could convince Justin to help manage the family business.Kane, who had been standing nearby, overheard his cousin suggesting that Justin take over the bank. His emotions stirred as he immediately stepped forward. "No way! How could the Nolan family's business be handed over to an outsider? Uncle, I object!"As soon as he spoke, Cillian and Audrey turned their attention to him.Audrey, however, didn't noti

"What? You said his girlfriend works at our bank? What's her name?" Kane's eyes narrowed sharply."Laura Hall..."Kane froze for a moment, startled. He hadn't known her personally before, but her success in securing a ten-million-dollar deal yesterday had caught his attention. He never would have guessed that she was Justin's girlfriend. Now, he knew exactly how to handle Justin."Mr. Walton, that guy's just an ex-con. You don't need to bother yourself with this. I'll get a few of the Devils brothers to take care of him," the man suggested with a sly grin."No need. Since his girlfriend works at our bank, we'll start with her. Go and bring Paul to me," Kane ordered without hesitation."Yes, sir!"The man quickly left the room and returned shortly with Paul in tow. The moment Paul saw Kane, he immediately put on a fawning smile. Spotting the cigars on the desk, he quickly grabbed one and said eagerly, "Mr. Walton, let me light this for you!"Amused

"I..." Laura's eyes brimmed with tears, her voice faltering as she hesitated to speak."What's that supposed to mean? What has Laura ever done to you? Why are you always targeting her like this?""Yeah, what do you mean by saying she offended Mr. Wilson? It's obvious he is just being unreasonable and making things hard for her!""Exactly! You're just trying to suck up to that sleazy manager!"A few colleagues who got along well with Laura stood up to defend her."We're just stating the facts. That night at the club, she drank Mr. Wilson under the table and made him so furious he was practically spitting blood. Isn't that what you'd call offending him? Otherwise, why would he suddenly dump a ten-million-dollar sales target on our team for the week? Who could hit ten million in a week?""Exactly! If it weren't for this jinx angering him, why would we all be dragged into this mess?""Why are you still standing here? Are you waiting to get fired? What

"It looks like someone's getting fired today. That's what happens when you offend Mr. Wilson. Just leave... Don't drag us down with you!""You troublemaker! You won't be satisfied until you've ruined us all, will you?"Listening to her coworkers' hurtful words, Laura couldn't hold back her tears any longer. They streamed down her face uncontrollably.On the other end of the phone, Justin's expression darkened with anger as he overheard everything. He hadn't expected Paul to retaliate against Laura like this. It was clear now that this was what had been weighing on her these past few days.After all, a five-million-dollar sales target wasn't a trivial matter.But then Justin thought of the ten million dollars Cillian had gifted him recently. He paused for a moment, considering his options, and decided that now was the perfect time to put that money to good use.Initially, he had planned to teach Paul a small lesson, but now it was clear that a harsher pu

When the salesperson heard about ten million dollars, not only was he shocked, but the other staff members were equally stunned. 'A customer with ten million dollars in savings?'The salesperson stammered, "Sir, are you sure you want to deposit ten million?""Yes!" Justin replied firmly."Okay, okay... I-I'll go tell them right away!"Justin watched as the salesperson dashed away, a cold snort escaping his lips. He was determined to teach Paul a lesson today. Daring to bully Laura was a death wish.The man rushed upstairs, shouting to Laura, who was packing up to leave, "Ms. Hall, you can't leave! You absolutely can't leave!"Laura stared at the teller's panicked face, her eyes wide with confusion.In fact, Laura wasn't the only one confused. Paul and the other colleagues were equally shocked. "What right do you have to stop Laura from leaving? That's the company's decision!"Seeing him blocking Laura, Paul rushed forward. "Cyrus, what the hel

"Yeah! Just look at what he's wearing. That outfit couldn't cost more than two hundred bucks!""Exactly! A broke guy claiming to have ten million dollars? You mean Zimbabwean dollars, right?""Hahaha... That's hilarious! He'd probably show up to the market with a sack of cash and come back with nothing left!"Everyone erupted in laughter at the joke.Justin didn't react to their taunts. Instead, he just smiled even wider.Seeing the unwavering smile on his face, Laura felt a mix of confusion and anxiety. "How... How did you know about this? And where would you get ten million dollars? Don't joke around!""Yeah, Justin, you need a better excuse for trying to help your girlfriend boost her sales. You, a broke dude, with a million dollars? Wait... let me laugh first, hahaha..." Paul laughed again.Justin ignored him. He truly did have a million dollars. He wasn't bluffing.Laura looked at him, feeling guilty. "Justin, I know you want to help, but

Justin was about to speak when Laura stopped him, knowing how insidious and cunning these people could be. If given the chance, they wouldn't hesitate to make Justin's life miserable. Adding to her anxiety was the incident from last week when they had gotten Paul drunk until he vomited. Without ten million dollars, they were in serious trouble. Desperate to prevent a scene, she tried to pull Justin away.But Paul had finally found his opportunity and wasn't going to let it slip away. He chuckled, "Laura, if your boyfriend is so rich, why doesn't he help you out? Just deposit ten million dollars, and you'll not only keep your job but also earn a commission of hundreds of thousands. It's a win-win!"Seeing Laura's worried expression only convinced him more that Justin was bluffing, and he decided to make an example of him."Justin! Let's just go back," Laura pleaded, her voice trembling with emotion. She tried to pull Justin away, but he stood his ground.She didn'

As Justin's words sank in, the stunned onlookers finally came to their senses. Their faces turned ashen, a sight to behold. Never before had they felt such humiliation. Their cheeks burned with shame. One moment, they had been mocking and sneering at someone for being poor, and the next, ten million dollars appeared in his account. It was like a slap in the face.If a man worth ten million dollars was considered poor, what did that make them?"Impossible, absolutely impossible... How could you, a broke ass, have ten million? I don't even have that..." Paul was the most distraught. He had been planning his revenge on Justin and Laura, but instead, he had made a fool of himself. He felt dazed, emotionally unstable, and utterly disbelieving.Laura looked at Paul's bitter expression and then at Justin, struggling to accept that he had that much money. She wondered how he had ten million in his account, just after being released from prison.A bright smile spread acro

Hearing Kane's words, Paul gave a knowing smile as if a plan was forming in his mind. 'So, you've got money, huh? I can't fire you, but I can let you spend it. I'll watch you spend your money and see what you can do. I don't believe I can't get you!' He nodded heavily, grinning as he left the office.Meanwhile, Justin helped Laura put everything back in place. He didn't rush to return but instead waited for Paul to come back from the boss's office."Justin! Thank you again for today," Laura said, her eyes softening as she tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, looking like a shy little wife.Justin's smile was as bright as sunshine. "Your problems are my problems. I won't let anyone bully you. Do you remember that?"Hearing those words, Laura was momentarily transported back to her teenage years, a time when she had been bullied and Justin stepped in to help.They had been neighbors as children, going to school and playing together. Justin had never a

Viper glanced at Rocky, noticing the panic in his expression. 'He tells me to stay calm and learn from him, yet he doesn't seem very calm himself,' he thought.Rocky's face shifted, and he asked Viper, "Did you take good care of him?"Viper replied without hesitation, "Yes, we gave him special treatment just as you instructed. We put him in the Supreme Private Room!""Good, good... Nothing was revealed, right? Mr. Miller is quite low-key.""Don't worry. We were trained by you, Mr. Williams. We know how to read people. Mr. Miller just gives me a look, and I understand. He definitely wasn't noticed." Viper boasted, proud of his cleverness.Hearing this, Rocky finally relaxed. Justin was an important figure. Even Alexander and Connor feared him. He was someone who could defeat Steve Sanders, the vice-leader of the Devils, and even powerful figures had to curry favor with him.Days earlier, Justin had given Rocky a prescription for medicine and told him to
