"What am I doing?" Lloyd said and then slammed his fork onto the table, his expression twisting with rage. "What am I doing? You destroyed my career, ruined my wedding and my future... Oh! Let's not forget how you also got me fired!" He yelled, his voice trembling with fury as he leaned forward, glaring at Lisa with a look of pure resentment. "Now, thanks to you, I'm facing punishment from Richardson Group's Overseas Headquarters."

He paused, his eyes narrowing as he imagined what awaited him. Lloyd knew all too well how merciless the Richardson's Group internal security team could be. They were relentless with those who failed, particularly those who were in debt.

As a former high-ranking official, he had witnessed firsthand how severely they dealt with people in his position. His fall from grace meant he was now just another target, one they would go after without hesitation.

Dismissed, disgraced, and with nothing left to lose, Lloyd had reached a breaking point.

    "Where are you?" Jason asked, his voice sounding indifferent, masking his concern. Lisa glanced at Stark. One of his men wrote something on a piece of paper and brought it to her.“Head up north to Riverton Factory,” she said, trying to keep calm.Jason instantly felt something was off; her tone was too controlled, too formal for a casual request. But he replied steadily, “I’ll be there soon.”***Robert sat in the dining as he instructed his Chef. He had spent hours thinking about what his son and granddaughter did to Jason. He decided to treat Jason to dinner, hoping that would soothe any anger he still harbored against their family. “Prepare something special. We’ll need drinks and a good meal. I’ll be inviting someone special, so I want you to make your best dish.” He instructed."Okay Sir," The Chef replied as he nodded slightly.Just then, Robin walked in."Great, you are here," Robert said, pulling Robin's attention. “ I need you to head over to Jason’s place and tell him th

    Lloyd was visibly startled as he stared at Jason. Then a mocking grin spread across his face as he tried to stifle his disbelief. “You have no idea what you’re dealing with,” He said, sneering at Jason. “Do you even know who’s backing me here? This is the head of the Viper Gang and his gang members!” He yelled as he pointed towards Stark, his eyes glinting with satisfaction as if he expected Jason to recoil. But Jason didn't flinch. His calm response was just a simple shrug. “Never heard of them,” he replied smoothly, his expression unruffled. The dismissiveness in his tone struck a nerve, and Lloyd’s face twisted in frustration. Beside him, Stark, the bald leader of the gang, raised an eyebrow, a faint smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. Though it sounded like a lie, Jason was telling the truth. He had never heard of a Viper Gang before. “Oh, so you’ve got a sense of humor?” Stark retorted, folding his arms. “Don’t worry. By the end of today, you’ll know exactly who

    "If your friend doesn't show up, who is going to save you then?" Stark asked with a smirk on his face.Jason gave a calm, almost playful smile, brushing off the tense atmosphere. “If backup doesn’t show up soon," he said with an air of unbothered confidence. "I’ll just have to handle this myself,” he remarked, his words carrying a subtle but unmistakable warning.Stark chuckled. He felt no concern. His expression remained one of absolute authority. Besides, he was the notorious leader of Alderfall’s most feared gang.As a man who had ruthlessly crushed all opposition in his rise to power, he had grown used to instilling fear. His previous rival had been eliminated discreetly by his powerful backer, leaving Stark in control of the area without any real opposition. For Stark, this situation with Jason and the Winston Consortium was a chance to send a clear message to them and everyone else, which is that he was the one who held control in Alderfall, and anyone challenging him would eith

    Jason looked down at Lloyd, his expression hardening with contempt, and then he scoffed. Without a word, he delivered a swift, brutal kick to Lloyd's chest, sending him sprawling backward. Lloyd hit the ground with a thud, his body crumpling as he slipped into unconsciousness, a hollow silence following his collapse.A few of the special forces men started for Jason to try to hold him back, but Robin raised an arm, signaling them not to interfere.Jason, barely paying attention to them, slightly glanced at Lloyd before turning his focus to Stark, who quivered, his earlier swagger was now scattered. He moved with a quiet intensity as he approached Stark, his gaze cold and unyielding. Stark’s face paled as Jason loomed over him, his eyes blazing with a silent fury.“Why did you go after Lisa?” Jason demanded, his voice low but filled with menace. The tension in the room was thick, and everyone could feel the weight of his words.Stark stammered, his confidence utterly shattered. “It...

    "Well, I would love to tell you why I am here, but it is not a matter best discussed at night on a porch," the man said, his tone, though polite, still carrying a touch of pride in it. "So tell me, Mr. White, can I come in? Or should I say, Mr. Winston?"Jason watched the man carefully, remembering Stark’s words about a powerful ally called the Owens family. There was no mistaking it now, Jason thought; the man in front of him was part of that hidden network."Yes, you can," Jason replied, a smile on his face as he stepped aside, gesturing for Xavier to come in. "And I prefer Mr. White."Xavier let out a low chuckle. He walked in and settled himself on the couch with a measured almost unsettling calm. Jason, on the other hand, sat beside Lisa on another couch, keeping her within reach, his posture protective. He took out a box from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and took a slow drag from it, his gaze hard and unblinking. “So, what brings you here?” he asked in an even tone, though his

    Lisa paused, watching the expression on Jason's face. He still had an expressionless look on his face, so Lisa couldn't tell if he was okay with her request or not. She bit her lips as she thought of what to do next. “I have a feeling you don't like stuff like banquets and dinner parties, but... I would... I would still love for you to come with me," She stammered trying to convince him. "I just… I don’t feel comfortable going alone, especially after everything that’s happened.” “Lisa, I think you might be overthinking this. Nothing is going to happen to you,” Jason replied gently, though he could see the worry etched on her face. Lisa sighed. "I know, but..." She paused. She didn't know what else to say to him. Jason kept his eyes on her. He didn't want to budge, but her pleading expression softened his resolve, and he couldn’t bring himself to turn her down. Finally, he nodded. “Alright, if it’ll make you feel safer, I’ll go.” Lisa's face lit up with relief. “Thank you, Jas

    With a haughty grin, the man introduced himself, “Oscar Evans. I don’t think you know me, do you? Well, I'm not surprised. It's obvious you don't belong here.” His eyes swept over Jason dismissively before he added, “I see Ms. Karl has gone out of her way to bring along her driver. Maybe it’s best if you left before you embarrass yourself.” His tone dripped with condescension, and Jason felt a flicker of irritation.Before Jason could respond, Oscar continued, clearly enjoying himself. “This venue is strictly for the upper echelon. You’re out of your league, friend,” he said, sneering. “A driver like you couldn’t possibly appreciate any of this.”Jason clenched his jaw, determined to hold back his frustration, though it was becoming increasingly difficult. Though he was dressed in casual clothes, he wasn’t here to draw attention or start a confrontation, but Oscar’s smug attitude was testing his patience.Just as Oscar finished his tirade, a muscular man entered the hall, drawing atte

    "How could you do that to my daughter?!" Henry Gates yelled in anger.Jason was speechless. "My wife came back drunk last night, and as her husband, I helped her undress," He explained."Just so you know, non-consensual rights are also considered rape even in a marriage!" Eloise's Mom yelled as she patted Eloise's back."I want you to divorce my daughter immediately!" Mr. Gates yelled.Jason frowned."That's enough Dad! I can't believe you would suggest that! After everything he did for us!" Elaina, Eloise's sister yelled."Shut up brat!" Mrs. Gates countered in an angry tone."No, I won't, Mom. You all seem to have forgotten that his Ten Million Dollars investment was what kept the company from going bankrupt," She said. "Are you insane, Elaina? How can you support someone who hurt your sister?!" Eloise yelled in fury. "Jason might have invested, but the reason the company is where it is today is because of me, and not his staying at home and doing nothing! Got it?!" Jason was di

    Chapter Seventeen: Let me go!

    As Eloise tapped the "end call" icon, she let out a frustrated sigh, barely able to keep herself from throwing the phone across the room. She had tried making a few calls to find someone to help out with the loan, but everyone rejected her request. Her jaw was clenched, as she tried to steady her breathing. “I need to set up a meeting with the person in charge—tomorrow, if possible,” she muttered.Eloise knew the meeting with the bank wouldn’t be easy. The news of her company’s instability had spread quickly through the financial world, making it almost certain that convincing the bank to extend the loan would be an uphill battle. But she couldn’t afford to give up. She had worked so hard for Gates Group to let it crumble. She looked back at her parents, their faces a mixture of anger and anxiety. Beneath their anger toward Jason, she could see fear lingering.Mr. Gates finally sat down. “He’s practically a puppet master,” he muttered as he thought about Jason, shaking his head
