At that moment, Damien stepped down from the car slowly, his keys still in hand. He shut the door gently behind him, but his eyes didn’t leave the unexpected sight before him, Uncle Bernard, Deborah, and Jessica standing awkwardly near the entrance of his house, each of them surrounded by a few large travel bags and backpacks.

His brows furrowed slightly, confusion written all over his face. For a second, he wondered if he was dreaming. The last time he had spoken to any of them was… strained. That conversation didn’t end well. And now, they were here in his compound, with bags. Something wasn’t right.

Damien walked toward them steadily, his sharp eyes scanning their faces. They all looked tired, worn out even. Deborah wouldn’t meet his gaze. Jessica looked like she had been crying earlier, and Uncle Bernard’s shoulders were slouched, his usual proud stance gone.

The silence was strange. No one said a word as he approached. All he could hear was the gentle wind brushing through the tr

    At that exact moment, Mr. Darlington's arm shot out like a weapon, his trembling finger aimed directly at Rebecca and her group.“Attack them!!” he barked, his voice cracking with desperation and rage. “I seriously need you to attack each and every one of them right now!”The words hung in the air like a death sentence.Hearing what their boss just commanded, the security guards exchanged uncertain glances before their training kicked in. Even the bloodied manager, still nursing his wounds, struggled to his feet and joined the advancing line.They started moving forward in a slow, menacing formation, their footsteps echoing against the marble floor as they closed the distance between themselves and Rebecca's group.Rebecca stood her ground, her posture straight and unflinching. Stella remained calm beside her, while Sophia and the other two ladies positioned themselves in a protective circle.The lead security guard raised his hands in what appeared to be a peaceful gesture, though hi

    At that moment, something shifted in Mr. Darlington's demeanor a flash of his old arrogance breaking through the mask of submission.That was when Mr. Darlington slowly rose from where he had been kneeling in defeat, his knees cracking audibly as he pushed himself upright.He deliberately wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand, smearing the moisture across his cheek in a gesture that seemed to restore some fragment of his former pride.Then, with a sudden burst of misplaced defiance, he pointed a trembling finger directly at Rebecca, his voice rising with desperate indignation.“I've literally apologized to you!” he declared, his tone a mixture of pleading and accusation. “I've literally told you exactly how sorry I am for everything!”His voice grew stronger as he found his footing. “I've done everything humanly possible to make sure that every single one of you can see with your own eyes that I'm genuinely willing to make complete amends!”Mr. Darlington's gesture s

    The moment those words left Stella’s lips, the air in the conference room turned to ice.That was when Mr. Darlington’s composure shattered completely the once-imposing man broke down into loud, gasping sobs, tears streaming freely down his contorted face.“I’ll do anything! Anything you want!” he wailed, his voice cracking with raw desperation.He shuffled forward on his knees, the fine fabric of his suit trousers scraping pitifully against the cold marble floor. “I swear these dishonest practices will never happen again! I’ll make sure this… this self-degrading fraud ends forever!”It was then that Sophia stepped calmly from the small crowd of onlookers. Her heels clicked with deliberate coldness against the marble as she looked down at the broken man before her, her eyes showing no trace of mercy.“If Mr. Darlington is so eager to prove his sincerity,” she said, her voice as precise and sharp as a scalpel, “why doesn’t he begin with the most obvious step?”Her slender fingers tappe

    At that moment, upon hearing the pathetic words that Mr. Darlington had just spoken with such desperate sincerity, Rebecca's expression shifted subtly.That was when Rebecca then allowed a slow, knowing smile to spread across her face a smile that carried no warmth, only cold calculation and irony.She shook her head slowly from side to side, as though dealing with a particularly foolish child who didn't understand the gravity of their situation.“So you want to make amends for what you did?” she asked, her voice dripping with skepticism and barely concealed mockery.Her tone became more pointed. “Is that not exactly what you are saying right now that you want to somehow fix all the damage you've caused?”Immediately, Mr. Darlington nodded his head frantically and desperately, like a drowning man grasping at any lifeline thrown his way.“Yes! Yes, that is exactly what I want!” he said with urgent, almost frantic emphasis.His voice rose with desperate conviction. “I genuinely want t

    Immediately after the devastating blow connected with his face, the manager felt an explosion of pain and shock.Three of his teeth possibly four literally flew out of his mouth and scattered across the floor like discarded pebbles.Blood began streaming from his mouth in thick, crimson streams, staining his shirt and dripping onto the conference room floor.He couldn't believe what he had just experienced or process what Mr. Darlington had actually done to him without warning.The betrayal was almost as painful as the physical assault itself this was the man he had called for help, the man he had trusted to support him.He couldn't say anything coherent at that moment because the pain was overwhelming and his mouth was filling with blood.The shock of being brutally attacked by his own boss left him speechless and disoriented.That was when Mr. Darlington immediately turned his attention to the five security guards he had brought with him.He shouted at them with commanding authority

    Immediately, Rebecca's voice cut through Mr. Darlington's nervous explanation with razor-sharp precision and barely concealed sarcasm.“So, really, is that truly why you literally came here today?” she asked, her tone dripping with disbelief and mockery.Her eyes narrowed as she continued her pointed questioning. “You heard that something was going on here, and you literally decided to rush over personally?”Rebecca's voice became more incredulous. “So now you've transformed into a fighter for justice, is that right?”The sarcasm in her tone was unmistakable. “You are now positioning yourself as a peacemaker and mediator?”Immediately, Stella also added her voice to the interrogation with equal measures of mockery and disbelief.“It certainly seems that is exactly what you literally came here to accomplish,” she said with theatrical amazement.Her tone was perfectly calibrated to sound impressed while delivering devastating sarcasm. “You came here to make peace and ensure that you d
