John spoke up, his voice sharp, “A very important person is coming to inspect the shop soon. This affects our whole future, so I won’t put up with your nonsense here. If that guest sees you causing trouble and ruins our evaluation, you can’t afford the consequences. Now get out of here!”
Hilda spoke up nervously from the side, “Mr. Bradshaw, this gentleman might actually be here to buy a car…”
John glanced over at Hilda, his tone cold. “Are you new here?”
Before Hilda could reply, Denise stepped forward with an ingratiating smile. “Mr. Bradshaw, Hilda’s new-she’s still an intern. She’s young and inexperienced, so it’s not really her fault. But I warned her, and she still wouldn’t listen. She insisted on helping this guy and even went to get a sales contract. She made a total fool of herself…”
John scoffed, “What’s the point of keeping a clueless new hire like her? She’s fired, effective immediately.”
Hilda’s face went pale at once. “Mr. Bradshaw, I…”
Stefan’s voice dropped, stern. “Mr. Bradshaw, is it? You’re throwing your weight around. You don’t have to sell me a car, but firing someone for no reason is completely unfair.”
John spoke, looking down at Stefan disdainfully, “I run this shop, and I can fire anyone I want. She’s getting fired because of you. You have no money, but you come in here pretending you do, thinking you can buy this limited-edition Rolls-Royce? It’s ridiculous.”
Stefan asked calmly, “I signed the contract, but you tore it up before I could pay. How do you know I don’t have the money?”
Evan burst out laughing, mocking him, “Stefan, quit making a fool of yourself. Don’t you see how ridiculous you are? You just got out of prison-where are you gonna get hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a car? Even if you’re engaged to Sara, the Stewart family would never give you that kind of cash. It’s obvious to anyone with a brain you’re just putting on a show.”
Richard lectured him in an arrogant tone, “Kid, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Quit causing a scene and embarrassing yourself.
“Get out of here now. An important guest is coming soon, and the Sterling family needs their help. If you mess this up and anger them, you’ll regret it.”
Stefan stood up abruptly, his presence imposing even without raising his voice. “Who do you

think you are to talk to me like that? If anything, I’m the one who decides whether to let you off.”
He turned to John. “This shop has awful service. It shouldn’t even be open.”
John sneered and shook his head in contempt, “Kid, do you even hear yourself? You actually dare to say this shop should close? You think you have the power to shut us down?
“Do you know who’s backing this shop? Not even you or the Stewart family can mess with the powerful people behind us. You’re just running your mouth-you’re an idiot.”
Evan spok that back

Stefan, I’ll be honest-the Sterling family is asking the chamber of commerce op for help. If my family’s Sterling Group joins that chamber, we’ll skyrocket.
g family needs to curry favor with them, and you still say you can shut this w how you lied at Drizzlewood Retreat, but you’re even more full of hot air elievable.”
ned to John. “The guest will be here any minute. This guy’s talking nonsense-he’s his mind. We should throw him out now.”
ight.” John nodded, then glared sharply at Stefan. “Are you deaf? Get out now, or I’ll arity.”
