Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 160

"Let's call it a night. Great work, everyone. I'll make sure you get overtime pay for this."

Mira checked the time and realized they were well past office hours.

"No worries at all! We're riding the momentum right now."

As long as this project launched successfully, none of them would ever have to worry about a paycheck again.

Before heading out, Owen gave a final word of warning. "Try to stay inside. If you have to go out, keep the Iron Wolves glued to your side."

"Keep the recruitment drive going, Owen. Anyone with real talent, lock them down."

"You got it."

Once they secured their foothold in Melvion City, they needed to aggressively expand into other cities. When that happened, they'd need an army of top-tier talent.

Meanwhile, back at the scene of the street brawl.

The hired muscle the Mercer family had brought were sprawled across the pavement. Lacey was the only one left standing.

"Mira! Mira! If you walk away now, you're never stepping foot in the Mercer house again!

You're a heartless monster! You're going to rot in hell!"

She watched Mira's silhouette disappear into the complex, screaming until her voice cracked and her throat burned, but Mira didn't even spare her a backward glance.

It wasn't until they were completely out of sight that Mrs. Mercer finally gave up.

When did that wretched girl turn into such a cold-blooded sociopath?

If she had only known... if she had only known...

"Ma'am, please call for help."

A groan from one of the bleeding thugs snapped her out of her daze.

He couldn't take it anymore. Why was she standing around screaming at a brick wall instead of calling for an ambulance?

Did she really think yelling at Mira would do anything? If the girl had an ounce of pity left, she wouldn't have just hospitalized half a dozen men without blinking.

They needed medical attention immediately. Any longer, and they were looking at permanent nerve damage.

Jolted back to reality, Lacey fumbled for her phone.

"Ma'am, don't call 911."

Another thug grunted through the pain.
