The underling who had led the way rushed to explain, "I swear, Mr. Haywood, I personally saw Andrew and Aspen enter this exact room!"
Seth's face twisted with fury, his voice low and cold. "Damn it all… We've been played. Andrew lured us here on purpose. That bastard set us up."
Davon, meanwhile, had his eyes locked on Christina with a hungry grin. "Mr. Haywood, forget Andrew and Aspen. This might've been a screw-up, but I call it a lucky one. Look at this beauty—she's no less than Aspen, maybe even hotter. You wanted Aspen? Fine, I'll take this one for myself!"
Seth glanced at Christina and had to admit—she was stunning.
"My apologies, Miss," he said, adjusting his tailored suit with practiced charm.
"My men got a little overzealous just now. Please don't worry—I'll take full responsibility for the injuries your family suffered."
Christina was not having any of it. Her fury erupted. "Take responsibility? You psychos broke my brother's legs! What the hell does an apology mean now?"
Seth, trying to show off his influence, kept his tone smooth and confident. "Miss, please relax. It's just broken legs.
"I'll call in one of the top doctors in the capital right now—Dr. Mosby Lake. He's a medical legend. His recovery is guaranteed."
Christina's expression turned icy. "Don't bother. I've already called someone. You people are nothing but gangsters—just thugs and lowlifes. You put my mom and Leroy in the hospital, and you're going to pay for that."
Davon chuckled lecherously. "Damn, I didn't expect the pretty one to have such a fiery temper. So what? It's just a few bruises. Nobody died, did they? Let me introduce myself. I'm Davon Park, Vice CEO of Phoenixdream Enterprises.
"And this gentleman beside me is none other than Seth Haywood, third son of the Haywoods—one of the Five Apex Families. So tell me, darling—do you still think you're in a position to hold us accountable?"

Can you please update new chapters, I have been refreshing this page hours now...
When are you updating new chapters? It's currently at chapter 1212, it's really draining our patience...
10 chapters every day is okay, no need to send many at once so that we won't wait for two days to get another chapter...
