After spinning his web of lies, Nelson smirked smugly at the Stevens family. He thought they were foolish for trying to go against him.
His employees chimed in obediently, one of them saying, “That’s right, we all saw Ms. Stevens come in to request a loan. When negotiations failed, she called for backup and resorted to violence.” O
“Have you no shame?” Christina shouted in rage.
Nelson’s expression turned sinister. “This, Ms. Stevens, is the price for defying me. You’re not even close to being in my league.”
Irene snapped back, “You disgusting low life! We’ll just pull the surveillance footage the truth!”

Nelson laughed dismissively. “Did you think I wouldn’t think of that, you old hag? All our surveillance cameras are conveniently malfunctioning today.”

The bank employees stared at the Stevens family with contempt.
One female employee in a revealing outfit mocked, “Other clients know how to get what they want from Mr. O’Connor, practically throwing themselves at him. Ms. Stevens, drop the innocent act. Who do you think you’re fooling?”
Another chimed in mockingly, “These days, if you want something, you have to offer something in return. Ms. Stevens, aren’t you supposed to be a CEO? You’re not playing the game right.”
“Exactly! This deal could have been so simple, but you had to make it complicated. No wonder your company can’t get a single cent!”
Their mockery stung, but the Stevens family dared not retaliate. Nelson was clearly enjoying his power trip. In Jayrodale Bank, he was practically the king. He had already grown bored of his employees, and compared to them, Christina was much more alluring.
“My offer still stands, Ms. Stevens,” Nelson said smoothly. “Agree to my terms, and I’ll overlook today’s incident. However, your little boy toy here will have to pay for breaking my hand.”
Christina responded with disgust, “Save it. I’ve already texted Harvey, and he’ll be here soon.”
Irene’s eyes lit up. “That’s right! Harvey just helped cure Mr. Thatcher. Surely the mayor will show us some consideration.”
Leroy grinned, adding, “Exactly. Harvey’s practically Mr. Thatcher’s golden boy now. This sleazy guy is going to regret crossing us.”

“Even Mr. Thatcher can’t save a low life like you, Andrew said calmly to Nelson.
“Still talking big when you’re about to go down? Nelson scoffed.
The Stevens family panicked at Andrew’s boldness.
Irene snapped, “Andrew, you bring nothing but trouble. Keep your mouth shut!”
“Watch it,” Leroy growled. “No one’s going to save you if you anger the mayor.”
Just then, police sirens wailed outside as Mark arrived with a group of officers. Nelson rushed. to greet him with a servile smile. “Mr. Thatcher, you’re finally here!”
