LOGINAt Lucy's command, a group of men in black rushed forward and started beating the Dalton family. Fists and kicks rained down as they howled in pain."I'm sorry! Stop hitting me!""Somebody help us! They're going to kill us!""You're going to break my bones! Please, stop!"Seeing that they were already beaten to the point where they could barely move, I worried that things might go too far and urged Lucy to call her people off.She signaled for them to stop, then shouted at the Daltons, "I'm warning you, if you dare harass Wyatt again, I'll make sure you regret it for the rest of your lives! If you don't believe me, go ahead and ask around about how the Stabler family does things."The Daltons had become completely subdued after the beating. One by one, they groveled like well-trained dogs and apologized to Lucy."We'll never do it again. Please don't hit us anymore…"Danielle then crawled over to me, grabbed my leg, and begged, "Wyatt, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. Please forg
As Lucy heard that, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she slapped me hard on the shoulder."Wy! Your dream is exactly the same as mine! I also want a house by the sea. I want to live happily there with the person I love. What a coincidence!"Galvin seized the moment to tease, "That's easy then. You two can just live together. You'd be turning your dream life into reality and heading home as a married couple. Sounds perfect, doesn't it?"Lucy's face flushed red at his teasing."Stop with your nonsense!" she said, smacking him hard.She then turned back to me. Her expression was shy and bashful. "Wy, I know there are some beachfront villas for sale in the Seastone area. Shall we go look at them together tomorrow?"I smiled and nodded. "That sounds great. I was hoping someone would come along with me to offer their opinions."…Early the next morning, Lucy pulled up at my house in her newly purchased Porsche and urged me to get going.After quickly washing up, I got in her car
With that, Brick strode off with his men in tow, leaving without a backward glance.Danielle stared at his retreating figure. Her face was full of despair as tears streamed down.I'd gotten my fill of the show and was about to leave with Lucy, but the moment we stepped out the door, Danielle rushed over and blocked our path.Her face was twisted with rage as she shouted at me, "Wyatt Pollock, this is all your fault! If you hadn't tricked me with that fake stamp, how would I have ended up owing so much money?"You'd better figure out a way to come up with that 500 thousand dollars right now, or I swear I'll never speak to you again for the rest of my life!"I scoffed coldly. "Didn't you say that stamp was your family heirloom? What does it have to do with me? Besides, the idea of you never speaking to me again isn't a threat—it's a blessing. That's because right now, just looking at you makes me sick. Do me a favor and stay away from me from now on."Danielle stomped her feet in f
When she heard Drew yell like that, Danielle seemed to finally get a grip. She grabbed the purchase invoice in her hand and waved at Barney."Excuse me, I want a refund. I don't want this car anymore."Barney didn't even glance at her and replied indifferently, "I'm sorry, miss. Once a vehicle is sold, we do not accept returns or exchanges unless there's a quality issue."Danielle immediately panicked. She rushed forward and grabbed Barney's sleeve. "Wh-What do you mean? I haven't even touched the car. Why can't I return it?"Barney shook her off and pointed to the purchase policy posted on the wall. "Open your eyes and read it. It's clearly written in black and white—no returns or exchanges after sale!"Danielle glanced at the policy, and her face turned pale with anxiety. She wanted to argue further with Barney, but the other employees held her back."Sir, you saw it yourself! I'm not trying to return it for no reason. I have no choice!" she wailed, looking wronged. "Just help
"Brick, what do you mean? What's fake?" Danielle asked the man in black, looking wronged.However, the words had only just left her mouth when the man called "Brick" slapped her across the face hard."You're freaking playing dumb with me? That 'Fields of Freedom' stamp you used as collateral yesterday is a counterfeit! Forget ten million dollars—it's not even worth ten bucks!"You've got some nerve, you bitch! You used that piece of worthless junk to borrow one million dollars from us. Didn't you bother to find out who you're dealing with?"Pay back the principal plus interest right now! 1.2 million dollars! Otherwise, I'll skin you alive!"Danielle's face turned deathly pale when she heard this."F-Fake?" she stammered. "How can it be fake? Besides, you guys were the ones who came to me and offered me the loan…"Another hard slap landed across her face.Brick glared at her viciously. "You're freaking blaming me now? If you hadn't been blabbing everywhere about having an heirlo
Lucy called me early the next morning. She'd just returned to the country, so she wanted to buy a car to get around, and she wanted me to go choose one with her.I accompanied her to several places before she finally decided on a 300-thousand-dollar Porsche.While discussing details with the manager, Barney Johnson, Lucy excused herself to the restroom. Suddenly, I heard a cold scoff from behind."What is a broke loser like you even doing here? This isn't a place you can come to."I turned around and saw Danielle and her ex-boyfriend, Drew Evans. She had her arm linked through his in a very intimate position."Why are you here? Do you know how expensive the cars here are? Even if you sold yourself, you still wouldn't be able to afford one," she said, cackling.Hearing her mockery, I seized the opportunity to provoke her."I can't afford one? You had to take out online loans just to pay your debts, and you think you can afford it?"I'd just been fretting over not finding the rig
