Ah, I see," he said, his voice smooth but tinged with a hint of condescension. "New money. No one special."He paused, allowing his words to sink in before continuing."I'm sure you understand, Mr. Jackson, that the Stevens family name carries a certain weight. I trust you wouldn't risk tarnishing that reputation over a single villa transaction."Mr. Jackson's expression faltered for a moment, his eyes flickering between Mr. Stevens and Caleb.

"If there's an issue, we can defer to the chairman of this company. Let's see if he's willing to dismiss the girlfriend of Mathew Stevens."Mr. Jackson faltered, his thoughts scrambling for the right words."I eh...I..."Mi

"Notify security," he instructed firmly, "to ensure that they don't leave the building."Mr. Jackson hesitated, his gaze shifting between Caleb and the retreating figure of Mr. Stevens.

Mr. Stevens's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at the security guards before turning his attention to Mr. Jackson. "How dare you have your security block my path?" he demanded, his voice cutting through the tension in the room. "Do you even remember who I am? Do you know who my family is?" He took a step closer, his anger palpable."Are you sure you want to go against me, Mr. Jackson?" He shouted with an extremely angry expression.Mr. Jackson met Mr. Stevens's heated gaze with a calm, unwavering demeanor. "Sir, your girlfriend made a statement herself, in front of the entire salesroom, that she would resign if Mr. King purchased the villa. We all are witnesses to her words," he said, his tone even and composed.He continued, "Although she now claims she said no such thing, her commitment was clear. She gave her word, and we must hold her to it. Only once she resigns, as she promised, will I allow you all to leave." His voice remained calm, trying not to provoke Mr. Stevens furth

"Some people, along with security guards, have blocked my path. They won't let me leave."There was a pause before Jacob res

"You...you've gone mad!" She hissed close to his ear.Cassie glanced at him, her face scrunching up in confusion. She hadn't realized just how stubborn Caleb could be, and she couldn't comprehend why he remained so composed while everyone else quivered at the thought of her brother-in-law's uncle's impending arrival. Despite the looming threat, Caleb stood unperturbed, as if utterly indifferent to the danger posed by Mr. Stevens' uncle."Caleb..." Cassie trailed off, her words tapering into silence as she simply stared at him, at a loss for further expression.As Cassie whispered to Caleb to apologize to her brother-in-law, her voice wasn't low enough, and Mr. Stevens overheard.He chuckled darkly. "So, Cassie asked you to apologize to me, huh? I was actually considering forgiving you," he remarked, a hint of mockery in his tone. "I thought maybe all that newfound money had gone to your head. But since you still don't want to apologize, we'll just have to wait until my uncle arrives

As his nephew hesitated to comply with his command, his uncle closed in on him with a deliberate slowness, each step heavy with intent.

The unspoken threat hung heavy in the air, leaving no room for defiance.As Jacob contemplated the situation, he couldn't help but acknowledge that if it were anyone else, he would have stood by his nephew's side and taught the other person a lesson.

As everyone else began to disperse, Cassie remained rooted to the spot, her eyes fixed on Caleb as he shook hands with Jacob. Their whispered conversation piqued her curiosity, but she was too stunned to move. She stood there, unsure of what to say or do, feeling a mix of confusion and awe at the unfolding events.As Caleb walked towards the couch and settled down, picking up a magazine, Cassie's gaze remained fixed on him. She couldn't help but feel a whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her, leaving her unable to articulate her thoughts. All she knew was that she had missed out on a significant opportunity the previous night, and now, watching Caleb, she couldn't help but wonder what could have been.Caleb glanced up from the magazine, catching Cassie's gaze as she stared at him. Raising a single eyebrow, he returned her stare, waiting for her to speak. "Why haven't you left with the others?" he inquired, his voice calm yet curious.Cassie hesitated for a moment, fidgeting with
