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.

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

"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.
