As luck would have it, just as Daisy and Isabelle reached the top of the stairs, the man gaze swept in their direction.

He didn’t see Daisy or Isabelle, but he did spot Diana, who was looking right back at him.

He grinned, his expression oozing sleaziness.

Diana shuddered, goosebumps rising on her arms. She hurried after Daisy upstairs.

“What’s his name again?” Diana asked.

“Samuel Bennett,” Daisy said irritably. “He’s over three hundred thousand dollars in unpaid invoices. It’s not a huge amount, but he keeps delaying. Every time I push him, he throws a little money my way, then demands bigger ads. It’s like tossing scraps to a beggar. Total deadbeat. Infuriating.”

They complained all the way up.

Daisy led them to a private room. Diana stepped outside to call Brian.

“You’re here, too?” Diana asked.

“Upstairs. We’ll leave together later,” Brian said.

“Okay.” Before hanging up, Diana saw Samuel following her up the stairs.

He looked at her, his smile deepening the crow’s feet around his eyes

Diana glanced around. The second–floor lounge area was empty except for her.

Looks like he’s following me.

“Mr. Bennett.” Diana greeted him.

On the other end of the line, Brian frowned. Diana’s tone wasn’t friendly.

“Oh? You know me?” Samuel’s words slipped through his uneven teeth.

Diana smiled, “Hard not to.” She paused, then had an idea. “Care to join us for a drink?”

“The honor would be mine.” Samuel leered.

Diana said, “I’m here with a few girlfriends. We’re in Room 308 on the third floor. I was just heading down to order more drinks. Any recommendations, Mr. Bennett?”

Their actual room was on the second floor. Room 308 was where Brian, Damian, and the others were.

“That’s easy. You go on up. I’ll bring the drinks myself,” Samuel said, rubbing his hands together.

She is stunning. Her friends can’t be bad either.

“We’ll be waiting.” Diana let her hand ghost over his shoulder as she passed, leaving a trail of her perfume.

Samuel felt like his soul had been tugged along.

Brian, listening in, understood her hint perfectly. A faint smile touched his lips.

Damian had just mentioned this issue. And she had already found the guy.

He told Damian. Damian looked at Anthony, who gave a slight nod.

Through Damian, Brian and Anthony had gotten acquainted. Lucas, drinking by himself nearby, smirked.

He said, “Looks like we have a willing wallet tonight. No need to hold back.”

Lucas picked up his phone and called Joseph at the front desk.

Soon, the door to Room 308 opened. A server wheeled in a cart of drinks.

Samuel followed behind.

The moment he entered, Brian and Lucas closed the door.

“All the drinks Mr. Bennett ordered are here.” The server placed the premium tequila, brandy, and other bottles on the table, then left.

Samuel froze, his eyes locking on Anthony.

The scar on his face was unforgettable. Samuel re

recognized him immediately.

Everyone in the industry was talking about Anthony. Samuel had visited Anthony’s company several times recently, trying to secure a partnership. It took multiple attempts just to get a meeting.

The silent figure of Damian nearby made Samuel swallow hard

“My apologies. I got the wrong room.” Samuel bowed repeatedly, backing up. “The drinks are on me. Please, enjoy.”

He turned to leave, only to find Bri

against the door.

Brian stood with his hands in his pockets, frowning. “You’re already here, Mr. Bennett. Won’t you stay for a drink?”

Lucas grinned, slung an arm around Samuel’s shoulders, and guided him to the table. He placed both hands on Samuel’s shoulders and pushed him into the central seat.

Beads of sweat formed on Samuel’s forehead. His fingers clenched unconsciously as he racked his brain, trying to figure out how he’d offended these men.

Each one was a top player in their field. Any single one was troublesome. He couldn’t afford to cross any of them.

“Mr. Bennett, you’re living well,” Lucas said, sitting beside him. He draped an arm over the back of Samuel’s chair and patted his elastic gut.

Samuel’s mouth twitched. “You flatter me, Mr. Moore.”

“Who’s flattering? Do we look like we’re flattering?” Damian said with a cold snort.

Samuel decided to lay his cards on the table. “Whatever I’ve offended you. I sincerely apologize. Today is truly a

misunderstanding”

“No misunderstanding. Anthony–said, his voice flak

Samuel was seated across the table from Anthony, but even at that distance, he could feel Aftony’s icy aura

“Mr. Vale, what exactly have I done wrong?” Samuel had fought hard to land a project with Anthony’s company in private, he hadn’t spared any insults for Anthony.

Anthony was the silent type. He rarely spoke.

Samuel had presented several proposals to him. Any that were unsuitable were shredded without hesitation. Anthony hadn’t even looked Samuel in the eye.

But surely he wouldn’t hold a grudge over that.

“When will you pay Daisy what you owe her?” Anthony asked directly.

“Oh, it’s about that…” The tension drained from Samuel’s body, only to snap back tighter.

“Mr. Vale, I’m really in a bind right now. Cash flow is terrible. Could you give me attle more time?” tre pleaded. “You know the western side project is a huge investment. I can’t produce that kind of money all at once…

Anthony’s voice was cold. “Mr. Bennett, if you can’t keep your word, we’ll have to reevaluate the project. To avoid losing both the partner and the money.”

Samuel was speechless. He glanced cautiously at the faces around him.

The men stood encircling him, silent, their expressions unmoved.

The air he breathed felt like knives, each breath cutting into him.

And he was just thinking of toying with Daisy a little longer.

Anthony tilted his head slightly, openly studying Samuel’s face as if he could read his every thought.

Samuel swallowed, his throat dry. With trembling hands, he picked up his phone and transferred the hundreds of thousands of dollars in final payment into Daisy’s account.

He placed the phone face–up on the table for them to see.

Anthony looked at Damian and Brian.

Brian checked the phone and nodded.

Payment received.

Lucas smiled and removed his arm from the back of Samuel’s chair. “Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Bennett.”

Samuel forced a laugh.

This table of premium liquor… I’m never getting that money back.

Samuel walked out of Room 308 pale–faced, his legs still shaking. He was relieved it was just about the money Paying it off meant the matter was closed.

If he’d truly offended the wrong people, he’d likely be the next one in the city to go bankrupt.

Dazed, he wiped the sweat from his brow.
