Finley put on his most sincere expression and said to Atlas, “Mr. Giordano, please give me another chance. I messed up this time, but I promise you, I’ll make it up to you and the Northern District by achieving something that will redeem myself.”
Atlas‘ face remained tense, the fury in his eyes unrelenting.
Several Northern District enforcers stepped forward, clasping their hands respectfully. “Mr. Giordano, Mr. Moore has admitted his mistake. Perhaps you could show him some leniency?”
“That’s right, Mr. Giordano. It’s clear he acted out of foolishness. Now that he’s willing to redeem himself, we think he deserves a chance to prove his loyalty.
“Sir, you’ve always been wise and pragmatic. It’s not worth holding onto rage over someone who doesn’t deserve your energy. Consider this as throwing out a worthless piece of trash- it’s just not worth your time.”
Atlas took a deep breath, their words clearly working on him. As much as he despised Finley at that moment, he could not deny that he still needed the man’s contributions.
Hence, even though the thought of sparing Finley made his blood boil, Atlas chose to endure it.
Dylan and Natasha exchanged concerned glances, both growing uneasy.
They could not believe it. Was Atlas actually letting this slide? A man as proud and ruthless as him, tolerating such humiliation?
What worried them even more was the risk of Atlas and Finley reconciling. If they patched things up,
their plan to drive a wedge between them would fail completely.
Finley smirked, sensing the shift in the room. “Mr. Giordano, I was wrong in this matter,” he admitted, though his tone carried a hint of smugness.
“But Dylan and Natasha aren’t innocent either. They orchestrated everything from the shadows.”
He sneered as he continued, “It all started when that woman invited me and… uh, her, to a party in West End. That’s how the trouble began,
Natasha let out a sharp laugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Oh, so let me get this straight
-you slept with Atlas‘ woman, and somehow I’m to blame?”
She folded her arms, her eyes narrowing dangerously. “What’s next, Finley? Are you going to claim I control your… impulses too? If that’s the case, should I grab a pair of scissors and take care of your problem right now?”
Her words were as sharp as blades, leaving Finley’s face with a twisted look of anger and frustration. Dylan and Andrew could not help but chuckle, thoroughly amused by her brutal
jab.

Atlas roared, his voice cutting through the room like thunder. “Enough! This matter ends here.
“From now on, if anyone dares mention this again, I’ll cut out their tongue and tear their mouth apart!”
Andrew remained calm, tilting his head slightly. “Mr. Giordano, that’s quite the declaration. But don’t you think it’s a bit… excessive? After all, people have a right to speak.”
Atlas’s eyes turned icy. “Andrew, let me give you some advice. Stop testing my patience, or you’ll regret it.”
Finley quickly jumped in, a sly grin on his face. “Andrew, Mr. Giordano and I are friends again. Whatever you’re scheming to drive us apart–forget it. It’s not going to work”
Several Northern District enforcers glared at Andrew, their voices brimming with hostility.” Kid, you’re asking for trouble.”
“This is Northern District business. Stay out of it.”
“You can run your mouth, but if we rip it off, that’s on us.”
Andrew shrugged, unfazed. “You’re right–I can’t take on the entire Northern District by myself. But there’s something I think Mr. Giordano should know. If he doesn’t, it would be an insult to him.”
Atlas frowned, clearly intrigued. “What did you want to say?”
Finley immediately sensed danger and tried to stop him. “Mr. Giordano, don’t listen to him. He’s just trying to stir up trouble–let’s leave now.”
Atlas raised a hand, silencing Finley with a cold glare. “No. I want to see what trick this kid thinks he can pull.”
Having already swallowed the humiliation of the scandal, Atlas felt untouchable now–there- was nothing left to fear.
