Watching Tobby Curry walk off without the slightest courtesy, Paul was instantly enraged. He slammed the table and shouted, "Doesn't know how to appreciate kindness! Thinks he's really something? Twenty million is my highest offer—that money's as worthless as trash to me."
One of his bodyguards leaned in and quietly asked, "Sir, do you want me to teach him a lesson?"
"We'll handle it later. If he really dares to keep investigating, The Clandestine Bank will pay, and we'll do the job." In Paul's eyes, Tobby refusing was even better—just like Lewis said, as long as Tobby died, that massive fortune he's storing on Elizabeth Campbell's behalf at The Clandestine Bank would belong to Paul. Tobby could refuse all he liked, but Paul forgot to mention: there were plenty of people in this world who'd kill for that kind of money!
In the car, Grigor Thomas asked me, curious, "Brother-in-law, who was that guy just now? He puts on such airs—seems even cockier than my dad."
