"Now that you mention it, there is something I'd like to discuss with you," Nora Hayes replied, her tone deliberately light.

Andrew Allen knew something was off. This woman was usually cold as ice, yet today she was all smiles. His eyes narrowed as he watched Nora Hayes carefully. "Nora, you're not just here to talk about that, are you? Is there something you need from me?""Now that you mention it, there is something I'd like to discuss with you," Nora Hayes replied, her tone deliberately light."We're family now, no need to be formal. Whatever it is, just tell me," Andrew said, leaning back with an air of casual confidence.Nora Hayes hesitated for a moment, then reached into her bag and pulled out a thick stack of cash, setting it on the table in front of him. "I need you to pass this along to Tiger. I'll get him the rest as quickly as I can."Andrew froze, staring at the money. Even though Nora had been promoted to manager at the Bennett Group, her salary was modest. There was no way she should have this much cash on hand."Where did you get all this?" he asked, his

"That's not what I meant at all. You're so beautiful, how could I possibly reject you? You're overthinking this, really," Andrew Allen said quickly, his words tumbling over each other in explanation. Truth be told, while Tara Fleming might not be considered a breathtaking beauty in the conventional sense, her figure was undeniably stunning, curves that drew the eye and held it. She was absolutely gorgeous in her own right. There was something about the way she carried herself, a certain allure in her smile and the tilt of her head, that stirred something primal and unspoken in anyone who looked at her. Her personality had a fiery edge to it as well, bold and uncompromising. Half the men in the company had their eyes on her at one point or another.But Tara's heart had room for only one person, Andrew, and so no matter how persistent the others were, no matter what tactics they employed, she remained ice cold toward them. She turned them down without hesitation, and on more th

"Sounds like you really have a thing for Claire Bennett." Andrew Allen grinned as he spoke."Does it matter whether I do or not? I'm not like those other rich brats who use underhanded tactics to get the women they want. What I'm after is her heart, not just her body." Julian Mercer let out a long sigh, his voice tinged with melancholy."Well, I'd say you can let go of that idea," Andrew said matter-of-factly."You want me to let go? Why?" Julian stared at him, confusion written all over his face."Because Claire Bennett is my woman. So naturally, you'll need to drop that little fantasy of yours. Besides, her heart's been with me all along. Haven't you noticed?" Andrew's grin widened."I'll keep trying. As long as you two aren't married, I still have a chance." Julian's tone was resolute, his jaw set with determination.Andrew let out another long sigh, his expression shifting to something troubled, almost pained."What is it?"

At that precise moment, Mara Whitlock lifted her foot high and brought it down hard, aiming directly at Julian Mercer's groin."Holy hell, you're actually going for it!" Julian leaped aside, sweat pouring down his forehead in rivulets. His heart hammered against his ribs. If he hadn't dodged just then, his future as a man would have ended right there on that spot."Look, just let me explain. I'm really not what you think. What actually happened was..." Julian's face crumpled into a pitiful expression, his words tumbling out in desperation.But Mara was far too furious to entertain any explanations. Her voice came out cold and clipped. "What's there to explain at this point? Don't waste your breath. Everything's crystal clear now. You're nothing but a complete and utter pervert, and I'm going to do society a favor by taking you down!"Her eyes blazed with righteous anger as she advanced on him again."Julian, just run already! What the hell are you

"Whether we're together or not is none of your business. I think you came here today just to see Claire Bennett, didn't you? I'm telling you right now, she's my girlfriend. If you dare make a move on her again, don't blame me for getting nasty." Andrew Allen spoke without a trace of warmth in his voice."She is your girlfriend, sure, but you're not married yet, are you? That means I still have a chance. Don't worry, I won't give up." Julian Mercer's tone was resolute, almost defiant.Andrew let out a dismissive laugh. "You're wasting your time. You're not even in my league. Just looking at our faces alone, I've left you behind by miles. Aside from having a rich dad, what else do you have that can compete with me?"Julian stared at him in disbelief. "You really are shameless. I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. Where do you even get the nerve to say something like that?""Don't believe me? Let me spell it out

"So now you realize your mistake? Where was that expression a moment ago? Weren't you just trying to kill me? And now you're begging for mercy? That is pathetic. You need the strength to back up that arrogance, and you clearly don't have it."Andrew Allen's face remained blank as he spoke. In that instant, Gordon Dunn went completely pale. The men around him fell silent, understanding that the warning had come too late. Then came the sound of snapping bone, followed by a bloodcurdling scream. Gordon Dunn collapsed into unconsciousness.Cole Rook stepped forward, his expression respectful. "Mr. Allen, you're absolutely right. Anyone who wants to accomplish great things can't afford to be indecisive. Mr. Allen, I'm completely convinced now."The men standing nearby felt it too. There was something about Andrew Allen, an indefinable presence, the unmistakable aura of someone born to lead. They sensed it in their bones: following this man would one day lead them to
