“This is so surprising!” William said unceremoniously. “What's the time now? Gee, it's still too early especially assuming there will be a lot of people standing in wait to get answered. Were you even able to enter the gates of Danforth Group?!” He derided and began to laugh at her.Allison also laughed and looked at Madame Emma. “Grandma, you can't spare them. It's better to send these losers back into the streets where they belong! Bunch of useless fools! Now you can scram and give us back the branch in City North! Don't worry, Grandma, I have the contract fully prepared!”Madame Emma gritted her teeth angrily cause deep down, she kinda wished they got the contract.

Everyone's hearts began to get uncomfortable as they had no idea what was happening and they were just left in suspense.Matthew's fury alone was enough to know that it is something really bad and they were dying to know what it is.Is the contract fake again?Travis has pulled such a stunt before so it shouldn't be that surprising. Hell, he should already be predictable.“Did you do this, Joanna?! Did you do this?!” Matthew yelled at Joanna.Joanna shook her head since she was also confused. “I don't know what you're talking about, uncle.”“The contract!” The man yelled, his breathing heavy. “There’s a fucking clause that says it's null and void if the Harborview land isn't given to Joanna Bloom!”Joanna’s eyes widened in shock.And there was a loud gasp out of everyone in the room.“WHAT?!” Madame Emma bawled out loud which made everyone flinched.Matthew nodded and dropped the contract on the table. “How is that possible?!

With a smile on his face, Quentin Mellon stood alongside the Bloom family, finding it almost unbelievable that Joanna had secured the contract in such a short span of time and they thought he had something to do with it.Even Quentin's father hadn't been able to connect with someone who knew someone associated with General Manager Marshall himself. It was a complex web of connections."You don't understand how grateful our family is to you, Mr. Mellon," Madame Alice expressed, her gaze warm and her smile radiant.Quentin shook his head politely. "Please, call me Quentin, ma'am. I simply did what I could to help Joanna in her time of need," he replied humbly.Deep down, Quentin knew that they had no knowledge of who had truly helped them or if luck had favored their cause. So, taking credit for the successful outcome wouldn't come back to haunt him in any way.Madame Alice chuckled and looked towards Joanna. "You see, dear, this is the kind of person you should be with. Someone who can

Observing her grandmother's serious demeanor, Joanna nodded subtly and seized the opportunity to quietly approach Travis, as her grandmother was engrossed in discussions with her uncles and aunt. "You haven't said anything. What should I do? What if the chairman of the Danforth Group refuses to come? What if General Manager Marshall is unwilling to attend?" she asked in a hushed tone.Travis let out a low chuckle and replied, "Just give it a try. You have General Manager Marshall's contact, right? You never know, the other party might agree as soon as you make the call."To Travis, everything seemed to be progressing smoothly. His relationship with his wife had improved, which was the greatest joy for him.

Everything had been falling into place since the recovery of their daughter, and it was all working out perfectly for them.Her grandmother would showcase her value to the numerous guests invited to the banquet. Joanna would be honored in their presence, bringing her immense joy.Unable to contain her gratitude, she turned to Travis and expressed, "Thank you, Travis. I don't know how you do it or if you possess foresight, but your support has meant the world to me. You believed in me, and I truly appreciate that."Travis gazed at her with a smile and they paused their walk. He nodded and replied, "Well, I appreciate the fact that you appreciate me."Joanna chuckled, her eyes filled with love as she continued to gaze at him. She then said, "Ever since Maya, our lives—" She let out a sigh before apologizing, "I'm sorry."Travis found her words amusing. He felt content knowing that he had regained his wife, even though sh

Travis’s sneer deepened as he cocked his head, scrutinizing the expression etched across Larry Roberts’ face. “Ah, I see the wheels turning in your head. Planning your revenge, are you? Plotting how you’ll come back and wreak havoc on my family once you're released from jail for causing public disturbances.”Larry's shock was evident as he looked up at Travis, his eyes widened in horror, yet he vehemently denied any such thoughts. “What?! No, no, I wouldn’t dream of such a thing…”With a disdainful scoff, Travis fixed him with a piercing glare. “Whether you admit it or not is inconsequential. But rest assured, any such notions are futile. You won't have the opportunity.”Larry Roberts trembled at Travis's words, a chill running down his spine. Glancing at his brother, Vince, he began to realize that Travis was more than just a man with a formidable force at his beck and call. “I… I can see now that you're wealthy and influential. I was naive not to recognize it earlier. But to exact p

Colonel Richard Wayne stood before Travis, his posture rigid and his salute precise, a testament to his military training and discipline. With an air of seriousness, he addressed Travis, “Sir, Colonel Richard Wayne of the esteemed Storm Reapers Special Forces, reporting for duty. We stand prepared with a thousand elite fighters at your command. Your orders, Sir!”Travis regarded the colonel with a mixture of bewilderment and uncertainty. The level of deference and respect being shown to him left him feeling perplexed and out of his depth. He couldn’t fathom why the colonel regarded him with such importance or how he possessed the authority to issue orders to a military unit of such caliber. It left him pondering the extent of his influence and connections, a realm he hadn’t fully explored or understood.As Travis grappled with these thoughts, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this situation than met the eye. Perhaps his Uncle Marshall or his father could shed some

In a sudden flurry of commotion, a voice rang out, exclaiming, “Yes, yes, boss is here! Larry, the big boss, has arrived! You’re done for now, you bastard!”The gang members erupted into a unified cheer, delighted by the presence of Larry Roberts, while Travis could only sneer in response.They quickly cleared a path through the middle, forming an aisle to ensure no hindrance to Larry’s entrance.Amidst the anticipation, a sleek black Mercedes Benz S550 glided into view before the crowd, its license plate bearing Larry’s name, unmistakably signaling his arrival.With a disdainful glare at Travis, Vince strode toward the car and swiftly opened the door, offering a greeting to his brother. "Welcome, big brother. It's fortunate that you're here."A robust figure clad in all black emerged from the Mercedes. As customary, two buttons of his shirt remained undone, revealing a wolf tattoo emblazoned across his chest, a clear indication to all present of his status as the Alpha of the North,

Unfazed by Jinx’s menacing tone, Travis interjected with a stern gaze, “Did you just threaten us?”Jinx, fixing his scrutinizing gaze on Travis, retorted with a dismissive frown, “I wasn’t talking to you, so keep your filthy mouth shut.”A low chuckle escaped Travis, a manifestation of his composed demeanor, as he nonchalantly looked away, his anger simmering by the second he stood there.Joanna cast a troubled glance at Travis, her discomfort palpable as the tension in the air thickened. Struggling with the weight of the situation, she paused, gathering her thoughts to formulate a compelling argument.Sensing Joanna’s unease, Travis stepped in to lend his support, “You profess to be residents, yet a majority have already willingly signed the contracts. Do you genuinely reside here?”Aligning with Travis’s suspicion, Joanna interjected, “Exactly! Allow me to register your IDs. I can act as an intermediary with the Demolition Office, negotiating on your behalf. What do you think of tha
