Chapter 237
Tucker's nerves were shot, his heart pounding against his chest. Unlike Quim, he knew when hewas out of his depth. He had walked in with his head low, ready to show just how much heunderstood his place.
Tucker marched up to Liam, bowed deeply with a look of utmost respect, and pleaded earnestly,"Mr. Cole, I've come to understand the situation, and it's clear my daughter has blundered. If youfeel you must discipline her, I won't stand in your way. All I ask is that you spare her life. I won'tcover for her mistakes. If it takes everything the Fabish family has to make it right with Ms. Stone,so be it. Please, just let her live."
With each word, Tucker's tears streamed down his face as he begged for forgiveness.
Samara, witnessing her father's deep bow and heartfelt apology to save her, was overwhelmed withtears and remorse, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Daddy... I'm so sorry... I was wrong to be so headstrong... I realize my mistake..."
Liam observed the touching scene with a steely stare, his rage tempering slightly, though histhoughts lingered on Celena, who was still in the car. He rose to his feet, his voice cutting throughthe tension.
"Quim's establishment is shut down for good. As for the Fabish family, I expect an apology from youboth on my doorstep tomorrow."
His declaration brought a collective sigh of relief from the onlookers. Tucker, Quim and his daughterexpressed their gratitude over and over, relieved to have been spared.
"Thank you, Mr. Cole, for your leniency. We'll be at your door to apologize first thing tomorrow!"
The others chimed in with their own thanks, grateful for Liam's mercy.
Without another word, Liam turned on his heel and walked away, leaving the crowd behind.novelbin
After Liam walked out the door, Quim just crumbled to the floor, panting like he had run a marathon.It was all over for him...
Eaden watched Quim fall apart, a smirk plastered on his face. He snorted, feeling damn lucky hehad had the smarts to back the winning team.
"I told you, Quim. You wouldn't listen, and now look where that got you. You made your bed, now liein it!"
The next day, Drunham City was buzzing with jaw-dropping news!
The Wakelin Group was toast! All their assets were frozen, and Quim and his daughter were thrownbehind bars. Eaden swooped in like a vulture, snapping up their entertainment empire and theirclout. He became the city's new golden boy overnight, turning heads all over town.
Meanwhile, at the Stone family's corporate headquarters, Reginald's office was a scene of its own.The whole Yafe family was there, giving Celena an earful.
They had gotten wind first thing in the morning that Celena had managed to tick off Samara andBillie the night before. No wonder she had come home looking like she had been dragged through ahedge backward. Samara's crew had given her a piece of their mind.
Cheryl had wasted no time that morning, spilling the beans to Reginald about Celena's run-in withthe Fabish family and not without a little extra drama. Reginald was livid and scared of losing thedeal with the Fabish family. He had picked up the phone and summoned Celena on the spot.
"Celena, you've really outdone yourself this time, you've got some nerve taking on the Fabishfamily. Don't you know they're collaborating with our family? You have no idea the mess you'vestirred up!"
