Justin watched the woman beg. He had first swore in his own heart and good soul that he wouldn't lift a finger. Not for her sake.Her eyes were soaked with tears, glittering in the sunlight as he stared from above her.Was this what he wanted? he thought. His heart was already stifling with guilt. To watch an innocent woman cry holding on his shirt? Not exactly. She was only unlucky enough to get caught up in the figurative battle he had drawn with Bruce and Lilly. But now, here she was, begging to have her business saved."I am sorry, I did not know who you were. I had no idea that you were who you say you were. Please I beg of you. Don't do this to me. I worked hard to make this business flourish and stable." Leanne seemed to be right at the edge of her wits. It wasn't of her to be acting this lowly at the time.Justin did not say a word to her. Rather he watched as she continued to beg. He was prepared to be stone hearted."Please, get off me" he finally said. "It's already done.

"Yes, it has to be the new heir." Leanne agreed, with one finger above her lips like she was fiddling a nonexistent moustache. "I see... There must be a misunderstanding somewhere. This person might not know who I am, I believe. Hence why they are making decisions that would typically go against Nelson Drogonuv. What a problem this is." "I believe so too," Bruce said. "Nelson has never been the kind of man to make such brash decisions. I would never believe he did this. There is no way he could have built such an impressive business empire from the scratch from making such decisions.” "So you see, you have really nothing to worry about." Lilly added, quite positively with a smile stitched to her face. "Bruce as he has said, manages one of the Drogonuv's business. He would surely find a way to link you up to the people at the top. Something can most definitely be done about this. You musn't give up now." Leanne looked down on the floor, trying her best to be positive before looking

Meeky hid his menacing smile at the couple's reply to Justin behind an unmistakable and surprising look. He sighed out loud and the attention of everyone at the table was on him."What do you want here, Justin? Nobody invited your miserable being to a meeting this meaningful.""I wasn't speaking to you." Justin said sharply, then faced Meeky's audience once again. "Are you really going to do this? I know people have to take risks with investments, but you all know that this is too good to be true.""You know for a moment there, I could practically hear the intelligence in the way you speak. But judging from looks, you're in no place to give us that advice." An elderly man cut in. He appeared to be in his late fifties and had some kind of honorable ambience to him. "That is absolutely true. Look at him." Another man added immediately. "This professional looking man would never scam us like that. And I am sure of that. But I can't say the same for you. Look at that shirt." The man scof

"Please sir, we never knew that it would turn out this way. He seemed like such a responsible man." Robert said calmly, his voice extremely sober from the shame and guilt he felt, having to come back to the same man he did not listen to barely an hour ago. Justin glanced at him one more time, fighting the urge to say something bad to him. He looked away, and took a sip of his drink."If you're not going to help us find him, then at least, give us his number." A woman pitched in. She was feeling irritated by his behavior even when they were the ones who brought it upon themselves. "We might be able to reach him." The others nodded, agreeing with what she had said."Look, all of you, I didn't come here to be disturbed. So, I would very much like it if you left." Justin finally said something, something they didn't consider a good enough response. "But... But, we can't just leave. What about Meeky? What about the money we gave him?" One of the men asked."I never said you shouldn't get

Robert thought for a while, his eyes on his companions, seeking their opinions. And after three unbearably long minutes, he made a decision."Well, okay then." He said dryly, hoping for the best this time around. Just then, Justin scoffed loudly. His tone, unapologetic and mocking. Everyone turned to face him. It was expected for them to feel angry at his expression but he did not care."I'm sorry, what was that?" Luke asked calmly as he moved to where Justin was seated. He was trying hard to concede his anger, but it wasn't working. Justin looked at him and then looked away, without saying a word. "What is your problem?""I do not have a problem. But I think you're bluffing. I know it.""And who are you? Aren't you the heartless one who refused to listen to the pleas of these poor people? Doesn't it make you feel uncomfortable?" Luke spoke in anger, the fury of it all burning in his eyes. He didn't like to be doubted. Justin didn't say a word to him, neither did he even glance at him
