Scraping the ground with both hands, the husband shouted, "Mr. Dixon... Please forgive me. I was blind to your greatness. Please have mercy..."

Tears streamed down his face as he pleaded, and the plump woman, taken aback, exclaimed, "Honey! What's happening? Have you lost your senses too?"

Just as the director had suggested, the plump woman was ignorant enough not to realize the situation even now. Baffled, she wondered why her husband suddenly started acting like the director. She scrutinized Mitchel, wondering what kind of spell he cast. Yet, she noticed nothing out of the ordinary, except for him being strikingly handsome.

Meanwhile, her husband, while being pulled away, still managed to crawl over and slap his wife hard. “It's all your fault, you blind old witch! You've ruined our business!"

The husband was devastated. Offending the wealthiest man in Ardlens and the authorities in Aurora, what prospects did their business still hold? They might as well brace for bankruptcy and face the music!

This prompted the director who immediately said, "Don't let them leave. Take them to the enforcement office. We need to thoroughly investigate who they've been paying off!"

The plump woman's husband felt his eyes roll back in despair.

Upon Matteo's return, Mitchel ordered, “The things he talked about, sending young girls to business partners, look into them deeply and then forward everything to the prosecutor's office in Ardlens!"

The plump woman's husband was left dumbfounded. He froze, not sure how to react. A deep coldness washed over him. This meant a trial in Aurora followed by one in Ardlens. He and his wife was looking at a lifetime behind bars!

Meanwhile, the chubby boy was waiting impatiently. As he waited, he bragged to his associates. “Just watch, my mom and dad are going to beat that cripple to death, and that woman who yelled at me, they'll leave her battered and sell her off!"

Chasen scoffed. “Keep dreaming. She won't go down that easily!"

The chubby boy clenched his fists. "Just wait and see. My parents can handle anyone. After they're done with those two, they'll come for you and your dad, you two filthy dogs! Since you try to stand up to me, just wait for your downfall!"

Chasen, though young, suddenly felt a wave of doubt upon hearing this.

He was concerned for Raegan and Mitchel. But he knew he couldn't let his fear show, or the chubby boy would only torment them more. He balled his little fists, staring defiantly at the chubby boy. "I'm not scared of you!"

"You... I'll beat you to death!" The chubby boy made a move to charge at Chasen, but a bodyguard held him back.

The bodyguard had been keeping an eye on the chubby boy and the shorter one. Otherwise, the chubby boy might have teamed up with the shorter one to attack Chasen earlier!

"Damn it! Just wait till my parents come out, you're dead!" the chubby boy yelled. He was used to hearing about the shady deeds his parents did. His parents never concealed their wrongdoings from him, openly discussing their nefarious activities even in his presence!

They even instilled in him that with money, one could wield power and trample over any land.

The chubby boy was convinced that no matter how reckless he was, his parents would always shield him. This was what fostered his devil-may-care attitude.

The plump woman's husband, his face swollen and bruised from the assault, emerged and overheard his son's ranting, boiling with rage.
