“A misunderstanding, you say?” Gideon repeated with a look of amusement. 

Tom nodded fervently. “That‘ right. It really was just a misunderstanding. I have an important meeting at my company, so if there’s nothing else, I’ll get going now.” 

“Hold it.” 

Two words were enough to make Tom pause in his tracks. He even started shaking. 

“Do you take me for a fool?” Gideon questioned with a snort. “You think you can leave just like that after humiliating my wife?” 

Chuckling awkwardly, Tom took out a debit card and said, “Yes, of course. I should make it up to you. There’s 100 thousand dollars in this bank account, Mr. Snow. Please consider it a token of my apology to Ella. That should be enough, right?” 

“You think I need 100 thousand dollars?” 

“Well…” Tom was furious, but he dared not let it show. He was worried that Gideon would fly off the handle and cripple him, too. That would truly be the worst–case scenario. 

“What do you want, then, Mr. Snow?” 

“It’s simple. I believe in giving people a taste of their own medicine. You wanted my wife to perform a striptease, so you can do one, too. But hang on. That’s not all. You need to run back to your office naked before I consider us even.” 

Before Tom could protest, Gideon snapped, “Nino! I’ll leave you in charge of keeping an eye on him. If you don’t do a good job of it, I’ll come knocking on your door again.” 

Gideon shot Nino a look that made him tense up in fear. He instinctively went along with it. Lowering his head, he responded stammeringly, “Rest assured, Mr. Snow. I’ll do a good job.” 

By the time he raised his head again, Gideon was nowhere to be seen. 

Tom immediately exploded in anger. “You bastard! I’m going to make sure you die a horrible death and feed your body to the dogs, Gideon!” 

Nino eyed Tom with mixed emotions. 

Tom’s eyes widened with disbelief. “What’s with that expression on your face, Mr. Duran? Don’t tell me you’re actually going to do as Gideon said and make me run back to my office naked! Hahaha! What a joke!” 

“Boss!” 

Just then, one of Nino’s lackeys came running over in a panic. He reported, “Boss, we noticed that a large group of Leopold Sullivan’s men surrounded the club!” 

A young man?
