Author’s POVAfter Will’s efforts to defame Liam and Michael Young, hoping to stir up some of the elites in the group, thereby creating doubts in their minds about any present or future partnerships or business with the Young family, and as such get them to side with him, the tensed atmosphere had slowly died down, but Will was still basking in self-gratification, certain that he had stirred some doubts in the minds of the other elite families.However, at this time he suddenly noticed Mia in the crowd and was immediately smitten by her beauty.Gathering himself, he slowly approached her with a lewd smile, tapping her gently on the shoulder,“Pardon me, I couldn’t help seeing how beautiful you are. Would you mind joining me for a drink?” Will uttered.Mia took a glance at him and was immediately irritated. This was the same man who had just tried to defame Liam a few minutes ago, and now he was asking her for a drink. No way!Her brows creased into a frown as she shook her head, “I’m

Victor panicked when he realized who Will was. He feared he had just dug his grave with his own hands. He could not imagine what would happen if he could not fix this situation with Will.He stepped forward cautiously, feet dragging on the ground, and said politely with an ingratiating smile, “We don’t have to do this Mr. Salerno. My father has a good relationship with your family. Let’s not let a little misunderstanding destroy everything we’ve built together.”His eyes flashed with panic as he stared at Will, hoping that his words would somehow convince the man to back away.However, Will was not going to make it any easier for him. He clenched his fists and took a step forward, staring directly at Victor, “You think that it matters if our families are on good terms or not?” He sneered.“We are the largest and most powerful mafia family in the city, Victor. We are feared by the most elite families in this city. Compared to them, your family is like ants. You’re nothing to us, and yo

Liam turned slowly, facing Will. If only the pompous bastard knew who he truly was, he would know that his family’s influence and power were not even close to a fraction of the power he held.To him, the Salerno family were mere street thugs whom he could easily control.With this, he walked towards Will who kept sneering and pouring threats at him and without any hesitation, kicked him several times, including a kick to his crotch, tired of hearing the man’s irritating voice.Will screamed in pain, cupping his crotch, and immediately went quiet.Everyone who saw this froze in fear, terrified of the consequences of Liam’s actions. The mad acted like he was either mad or had a death wish. “Won’t you divorce him now?!” Victor’s voice echoed, “He’s clearly gone mad! And he’s going to take you and your family down with him except you end this now.” He added, trying to convince Mia, who seemed even more confused.“I don’t think it’s in your place to worry about what happens to my wife or

Mia instantly sobered up the moment she heard Manu’s words. She froze in fear, afraid to move, and gulped heavily.‘He wants me to do what?!’ The words replayed in her head, terrifying her even more.But just then, Manu leaned away, turned around, and stood beside her.His expression suddenly darkened, “Since you and Liam decided to my family’s lineage by causing my boy to become infertile, you’re going to sleep with everyone in my gang. That’s going to be your punishment Miss Stevens, and it’s the only way we can be even. But as for your friend, there’s no negotiating what I’ll do to him. He’s a dead man to me.”At that time, Mia slowly realized that coming here alone was a mistake. She hoped that Manu would be civil and take the money, but now she could see just how wrong she was.However, she tried to maintain her composure, suddenly realizing the danger she was in, and knew she had to leave in a coordinated way. She picked up her phone and pressed it to her ear, pretending to be o

Liam remained frozen, watching as Mia walked away. He wanted to stop her and tell her that he was responsible for everything that happened here today but figured there was no point.Mia and her family had made it clear that he was not trusted, but still, he decided to stay behind and make sure Manu did not retaliate.He was familiar with men like them, and though Jack Gunter had shown up and prevented a bloodbath today, sooner or later, Manu would retaliate. With that flowing in his mind, Liam decided he had to make sure Manu didn’t get that chance.He turned and walked back towards the Salerno mansion, and as the guards saw him approach, they tried to block, but he effortlessly knocked them out, heading straight to find Manu.However, at this time, one of the guards had quickly tripped the alarm system, notifying the other estate securities and just as Liam walked into the grand hall of the mansion, he was quickly surrounded by more than a dozen guards.“Where’s your boss?” Liam ask
