The moment Mac spoke, one of the huge men stepped forward without hesitation.His movement was so fast that the surrounding crowd barely had time to register what was happening. In an instant, he closed the distance between them.His hand shot out and seized Mac violently by the hair, yanking him forward with brutal force.Mac’s head snapped downward as pain shot through his scalp. Before he could even understand the situation, another force struck him—heavy, sharp, and humiliating. A slap landed across his face.Then another.And another.The sound of each impact echoed through the tense air like cracks of thunder, cutting through the silence that had once filled the space.The man’s voice followed immediately, booming with fury.“You’ve got some nerve raising your voice at Don Albert! Do you want to die right here and now?!”His words were not merely a warning. They carried a chilling certainty, as though the outcome had already been decided if Mac resisted further.Mac’s entire bod

Craig Williams listened to the report from the guard in silence for a few seconds. The name “Crawford” echoed in his mind briefly, like a distant sound that failed to register as anything significant. Then he scoffed.It was a cold, dismissive sound that immediately revealed his stance.He leaned back in his leather chair, swirling the drink in his glass slowly, as though the matter being reported to him was no more important than a minor inconvenience. The Crawford family in Belton did have some influence, that much was undeniable. Their name carried weight in certain circles, and they had built a respectable reputation over time.But to Craig, reputation only mattered when it surpassed his own.And in his mind, nothing did.A faint smirk formed on his lips as he placed the glass down carefully on the table.“So what if it’s the Crawfords?” he said casually, almost amused by the idea. His tone carried a subtle arrogance, as though the very mention of the name was something unworthy o

The moment Mac Crawford told the security men to call their leader, the atmosphere outside the building shifted slightly.The large, intimidating guards stood their ground for a few seconds longer, scanning Mac from head to toe as though trying to determine whether he was worth listening to. One of them squinted as if trying to place him in his memory. Another slowly folded his arms, clearly unimpressed. They did not appreciate being ordered around, especially not by someone they considered an outsider.For a brief moment, no one spoke.The tension stretched thin in the air.But before the silence could linger any further, Claire stepped forward aggressively, her heels striking the ground with sharp urgency. Her voice cut through the space instantly.“Are you all deaf or what? Do you even know who this man is?”She pointed directly at Mac with a proud expression, as though his identity alone should be enough to end the confrontation.“This is Mac Crawford. From the Crawford family. If

As Mac Crawford’s luxury car pulled up, a wave of excitement rippled through the crowd gathered outside the finance company.The protesters, who had been shouting angrily moments earlier, suddenly shifted their attention.Whispers broke out almost immediately.“Look at him… he’s so refined and handsome. I wonder which family is fortunate enough to have him as their future son-in-law.”“Just his presence alone screams wealth. This is clearly someone from a powerful background.”“He looks like the kind of man who can solve anything with a single phone call.”Admiration spread quickly through the crowd, replacing tension with curiosity and awe.Mac stepped out of the car slowly, adjusting his cufflinks with calm confidence. His polished shoes hit the ground with deliberate precision, and his presence alone seemed to elevate the atmosphere.All eyes turned toward him.Even those who had been shouting moments earlier now lowered their voices instinctively.Claire, seeing him arrive, felt a

The call was answered almost immediately.“Hello?”The familiar voice on the other end brought a look of relief to Claire’s face.“Joe!” she exclaimed hurriedly. “Thank goodness you answered. I need your help urgently!”Standing among the crowd of angry investors outside the finance company, Claire quickly stepped aside so she could be heard more clearly.“What happened?” Joe asked.Claire took a deep breath.“I invested money into some insurance investment products offered by this company. They promised extremely high returns. I put practically everything I had into it. But now the company has shut its doors. They aren't paying returns, and they won't even let us withdraw our principal investment!”As she spoke, her voice became increasingly emotional.“I need help getting my money back!”On the other end of the line, Joe fell silent for a moment.“Mrs. Gatwick,” he said carefully, “I wish I could help immediately, but I'm currently attending a conference overseas. It'll last for ano

Upon hearing Claire’s words that Alina’s money was part of what was being fought for, Greg paused mid-step.His expression shifted slightly and a faint frown formed on his face. Claire’s tone carried urgency but she wasn’t saying everything.“I'm listening,” Greg said calmly.Claire, however, had no patience left. Her voice cracked through the noise of the crowded street outside the finance building.“Don’t just stand there watching me!” she snapped. “Do what I told you to do first! You’ll understand everything later!”Her hand tightened around the placard she was holding, shaking it aggressively toward the sealed glass doors of the building. Above them, faded letters read:Orion Crest Assurance Ltd.A once-promising company now standing silent.Greg frowned deeper.“Orion Crest Assurance…” he repeated slowly.Claire clicked her tongue. “Yes! That one! Now stop asking unnecessary questions and act!”Now Greg understood he had no choice—for now.He reached out and took the placard from
