Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 After spinning his web of lies , Nelson smirked smugly at the Stevens family .

He thought they were foolish for trying to go against him .

His employees chimed in obediently , one of them saying , Thats right , we all saw Ms.

Stevens come in to request a loan .

When negotiations failed , she called for backup and resorted to violence .

O Have you no shame ? Christina shouted in rage .

Nelsons expression turned sinister .

This , Ms.

Stevens , is the price for defying me .

Youre not even close to being in my league .

Irene snapped back , You disgusting low life ! Well just pull the surveillance footage the truth ! to prove Nelson laughed dismissively .

Did you think I wouldnt think of that , you old hag ? All our surveillance cameras are conveniently malfunctioning today .

Christina clenched her fists , her fury barely contained .

Nelson had clearly planned this , covering his tracks completely .

The bank employees stared at the Stevens family with contempt .

One female employee in a revealing outfit mocked , Other clients know how to get what they want from Mr.

OConnor , practically throwing themselves at him .

Ms.

Stevens , drop the innocent act .

Who do you think youre fooling ? Another chimed in mockingly , These days , if you want something , you have to offer something in return .

Ms.

Stevens , arent you supposed to be a CEO ? Youre not playing the game right .

Exactly ! This deal could have been so simple , but you had to make it complicated .

No wonder your company cant get a single cent ! Their mockery stung , but the Stevens family dared not retaliate .

Nelson was clearly enjoying his power trip .

In Jayrodale Bank , he was practically the king .

He had already grown bored of his employees , and compared to them , Christina was much more alluring .

My offer still stands , Ms.

Stevens , Nelson said smoothly .
