Chapter 107
The security guards and employees stood frozen, stunned by the audacity of someone who dared to storm into Nelson’s office, given his position in the bank.
Christina felt her blood run cold, wondering why Andrew would escalate the situation when they were so heavily outnumbered.
“What are you idiots waiting for? Get them!” Nelson screamed from the floor, his rage boiling over. Since becoming the bank manager, he had never faced such humiliation.
Just then, two cars suddenly screeched to a halt outside the bank. Irene and Leroy rushed in with Stevens Corporation security as backup.
“Christie, are you alright?” Irene asked frantically.
“Mom, I’m fine. Andrew saved me,” Christina explained.
Irene scoffed. “Saved you? Then why are you hurt?”
“Mom, don’t be unreasonable!” Christina retorted, her frustration rising. “If Andrew hadn’t come, who knows what could’ve happened to me!”
Irene snorted dismissively. “If he had gotten here sooner, you wouldn’t be injured at all. Andrew, get away from my daughter!”
Meanwhile, Leroy confronted the bank’s security team. “How dare you hurt my sister?! You’ll all pay for this!”
Irene placed her hands on her hips and joined in, finally finding an outlet for her anger. “I can’t believe you lay your hands on my precious daughter! Oh, you better believe I’m tearing this dump apart today!”
Nelson struggled to his feet with help from his employees. “Well, well… A little family business like Stevens Corporation thinks they can cause trouble at Jayrodale Bank, eh? You’ll regret this!”
He pointed furiously at Irene and Leroy, his voice dripping with venom. “You and your filthy family are done for. Mark my words.”
Then, Nelson pulled out his phone and quickly made a call. “Mr. Thatcher, we have an
emergency at Jayrodale Bank Stevens Corporation turned violent when we denied their loan. They attacked me, and one of them broke my hand. Yes, yes, please send officers immediately to handle this!”
After hanging up, Nelson smirked at Christina and her family. “You think you can barge in here and win just because you outnumber us? Well, Mr. Thatcher is on his way, and I’ll enjoy watching you grovel.”
The mention of Jayrodale’s mayor sent a chill through the Stevens group. Irene stammered,” M–Mr. Thatcher is… your backer?”

Even Leroy paled, motioning for their security team to stand down. Everyone knew that going against the city’s most powerful figure was a losing battle.
Nelson grinned viciously. “Oh, are you scared now? Too bad it’s far too late for regrets. When Mr. Thatcher arrives, I’ll make sure the Stevens family vanishes from Jayrodale for good.”
Christina spoke up defiantly, “Nelson, we won’t fear you even if the mayor comes. You were the one who started this!”
Nelson chuckled mockingly. “Ms. Stevens, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Everyone here knows the truth: you came to me asking for a loan. When I refused, you tried to seduce me. I told you to put your clothes back on and leave, or I’d call security. But instead of leaving, you brought in your little thug to stage some elaborate scheme to frame me. When I wouldn’t give in, your guy resorted to violence.”
Nelson’s voice rose as he addressed everyone in the room. “That’s the real story. And when Mr. Thatcher gets here, my people will back me up.”
