He had only become chairman of Meriland Special Bank that morning—a fact he himself was still trying to process. How could they have known already? Was there a leak within the bank?
His gaze swept over the onlookers before settling on Daniel and Emma's triumphant faces. This felt like more than just a sim

When Daniel heard this, he felt more nervous than if a knife were held to his throat.The reporters were equally stunned, unsure where to point their cameras. On one side stood the heiress of Nolan Corporation, and on the other, the heir of the Anderson family. The question was so pointed—what were they supposed to do?Since Audrey had directed the question at Daniel, after a moment's hesitation, all the cameras turned toward him.A flicker of panic crossed Daniel's face, but he quickly regained his composure. "As a client," he explained, "I have the right to protect my own interests!""Your courage in standing up for your interests is indeed admirable," Audrey responded, her words precise and cutting. "But if you try to slander and defame us, Nolan Corporation won't stand for it!""What do you mean by slander and defamation? Could you elaborate?""Yes, is what Mr. Anderson said false?""Ms. Nolan, please explain. I'm sure the viewers at home

"Mr. Anderson, you've called us all here today. Do you have something to say about Meriland Special Bank?""Yeah, Mr. Anderson, can you give us a little heads-up?""Attention viewers at home, Mr. Anderson seems to have a major announcement regarding Meriland Special Bank. Please stay tuned!"A throng of reporters, microphones in hand, surrounded Daniel. He was the center of attention, willing to resort to any means necessary to take down Justin, even this desperate tactic born out of sheer frustration and lack of other options."Everyone, everyone, please calm down. I'll answer all of your questions!" Daniel said, gesturing for the crowd to quiet down. Despite the chaos, he showed no sign of panic. Instead, he confidently pulled out his phone and called Justin.Justin, sitting in his office, glanced at Daniel's name on the caller ID. He had no intention of engaging in a pointless argument and simply let the phone ring.Audrey, watching the phone buzz pe

"Yes!" the butcher replied.Connor approached with his entourage, radiating authority.Justin narrowed his eyes slightly as they arrived.Daniel's face turned pale at the sight of them. He gulped, not recognizing Connor, but the man's aura alone was enough to intimidate him. He was flanked by Alexander and a burly man, and everyone could tell this was someone important. The fact that someone with Alexander's connections was merely standing beside him spoke volumes about the old man's status.Before Daniel could say a word, the butcher stepped forward and slapped him twice, hard, drawing blood from his mouth.Seeing her husband being hit, Emma shrieked, "How dare you! Do you know who he is? Apologize! Do you want to be blacklisted in Riverwood?""Shut up! Do you know you're standing before Mr. Grayson?" the butcher's thunderous voice made Daniel flinch. His legs trembled, nearly giving out beneath him. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the ol

"Yes, Mr. Miller, shall I send someone to pick you up?" Connor's voice was calm."No, I'll just take a cab!" Justin replied. He was surprised—just moments after Daniel had mentioned dinner at the Velvet Quarters, Connor had invited him over. Could it be the same dinner? That seemed impossible. Connor had Alexander throw them out of the Thanksgiving dinner. There was no way he'd invite them now; they weren't important enough.After telling his parents he was heading out, Justin took a cab to the Velvet Quarters.Meanwhile, Emma sat in the passenger seat, looking curiously at Daniel, whose lips were curled into a smug smile. "Honey, why don't we just make him beg here? Why go to the Velvet Quarters?""Darling, you don't understand. Kane wants to see him grovel too. And I want to humiliate him properly. I can't miss this opportunity..." Daniel's voice dripped with satisfaction. He was already savoring the image of Justin begging him. Suddenly, he nearly hit th

"Laura, how do you have time to come over?" Justin asked, his face full of curiosity."I have the day off, so I came by. This afternoon, I'm learning how to make meatballs with your mother. I remember you like meatballs, so I'll make some for you right away. Go wash your hands and wait in the living room for a bit," Laura said, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, looking slightly shy.Justin didn't say much and walked toward the living room.As soon as he sat down, his mother anxiously grabbed his arm and whispered, "Justin, look at how thoughtful Laura is. She came over this afternoon, bought a lot of things for your dad and me, and even helped cook. If you don't have any objections, let's settle the wedding by the end of the year. Your dad and I can't wait anymore—we want to have a grandchild!"Justin was startled by her words. That's way too fast.It seemed he had been wrong from the start. To avoid worrying his parents, he had agreed to

Steve was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted, causing him to glance over.At that moment, Kane froze in terror. The call was from his uncle, Cillian, but without thinking, he hung up immediately. Standing up nervously, he apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sanders. Please continue!""Since you introduced him, I have no objections. Let's grant him the membership certificate," Steve said in a deep voice."Yes, yes," Kane repeated.Toby and Daniel were overjoyed like never before. They had never imagined they could join the Devils and become members. It made them feel incredibly honored. Many people would do anything to join the Devils but couldn't qualify, yet they had done so effortlessly. From now on, they no longer had to endure Alexander's attitude—that ungrateful wretch!Once everything was settled, Kane quickly drove to the Nolan family villa. Seeing Cillian standing by the lakeside with his coat fluttering in the wind, Kane hurried over a
