"Quim, you've got some guts, attacking someone right under my nose!"
Howard stormed into the room, livid, and marched straight up to Quim, delivering a stinging slap to his face. Still seething, he swung back his hand and landed another slap on the other cheek.
Those slaps knocked Quim for a loop!
He was seething inside but did not dare fight back; not even a single word of defiance passed his lips.
After giving Quim a piece of his mind, Howard strode over to Liam with a swift pace that caught everyone's attention. He bowed with deep respect and reported, "Mr. Cole, I'm here as ordered. We've shut down Quim's operations, and everyone involved is in custody!"
Howard shot Quim a warning look before asking, "Any other orders? I'm on it."
Quim, who had been ready to go down fighting, suddenly felt his knees buckle. He collapsed to the ground, his face a mask of terror and hopelessness. It was all over for him.
Quim was seized by a terror so profound it felt like the sky itself was crashing down. He realized that his life's work was crumbling before his eyes.
The man standing before him was a force not to be reckoned with. He should have seen it coming. If Liam were just an average Joe married into the Stone family, there's no way he could have had someone like Eaden groveling at his feet. There was Chief Howard, no less, personally taking charge of the situation, humbling himself before Liam.
