Chapter 109

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 hired us here on purpose. That bastard set us up.”

Daron, 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.”

Deron 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?”

Before Christina could reply, a voice full of scorn echoed from the hallway.

“Really, Devon? Phoenixdream is just a mid-tier firm here in the capital. You think you can throw your weight around? And Seth… since when did you have the balls to raise hell on my Corbin?”
