With cold beads of perspiration on his head, Samuel said anxiously, âMr. Logan, Mr. Felixâs altercation with Nathan Cross really has nothing to do with our family. He was bent on getting Penny because he was eyeing her career. He wanted to use her as his springboard to further his own career, just to prove himself to you.â
Gabriel narrowed his eyes and said slowly, âDespite that, you canât deny the fact that you Smiths have used my son with evil intentions. This explanation canât save you at all.â
Samuel grew more perturbed and quickly said, âMr. Logan, please forgive us. We are definitely wrong this time. Mr. Logan, even if you take my life, it wonât help matters at all. We are willing to do anything to make amends.â

Samuel immediately nodded. âYes, this is a landmark project in Channing, the Asiatic Shopping Mall. If the project is completed according to the laws, the minimum profit is ten billion. If the construction process and materials are rigged slightly, the profit could be even greater than that.â

Gobrielâs eyes lit up instontly.
Ten billion? Thot is definitely o huge project. He wos interested now.
