Just then Martins walked in.as he stepped into the gruesome scene, the old man smile widened. "Ah, my wayward grandson," he greeted, his voice dripping with false warmth. "You arrive just in time to witness a demonstration of loyalty."Martins' eyes darted around the room, taking in the pool of blood that surrounded the lifeless body of Zeus, the cold, impassive faces of the gathered men, and Bradley's blood-soaked hands. His fear was evident in the tremble of his voice as he spoke."What's happening here?"The oldan's smile only widened at the sight of Martins' fear, his cruel amusement was obvious in the air. "I trust you've heard of Edward Baron's death," he said, his voice like poisoned honey. "We cannot tolerate such disloyalty within our ranks.

"For all we know, you might be guessing because you feel she's successful and the Nathaniels are," Bradley's sharp tongue cut Martin deeper than any blade as he spoke with verbal onslaught. "This is why your grandfather says you are useless," he scoffed. "You don't think before you talk, and now you're trying to drag others into your incompetence."The old man's laughter filled the room, causing Martin's self-esteem to plummet even further. "That was the perfect response for a fool!" he chortled, slapping his knee as he laughed with mirth.The young men stared at each other, their faces hard and their eyes like coals in the dim light of the room.

Vivian said again and again. Her whole body shook as she was about to cry.Avery at that moment watched Vivian. She could not believe it, she doesn't believe her, because Vivian knows who never apologized for such a thing, and it didn't happen recently, but yet she is apologizing. At that moment her face turned red with anger. She knows Vivian is playing game.“This might just be her plans to hurt me, she might be jealous I'm now a CEO of my family company”Avery was about saying something when a voice came through.“Vivian!
