A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 390

Damien just sighed, remaining silent.

Mr. Myers, well, he never really cared much for the Baker Group. Sure, he was managing it, but honestly, the Baker Group was just some small fry in his eyes.

He only took it on to repay a favor to Eamon. Otherwise, with the kind of successful companies under Mr. Myers' belt, why would he bother with the Baker Group? How else could he have become the richest man in Capitalton?

"If that's how you want to see it, you'll regret it," Damien said with a resigned sigh. "Last chance, Mr. Baker. Are you leaving, or do we have to do this by the book?"

"I'm not leaving! If you've got the guts, just try and take me down!" Gideon stood his ground stubbornly.

Damien shrugged, giving a nod to the security team around him. The guards advanced on Gideon, and soon enough, he was getting a heavy-handed beating.

Gideon hadn't expected them to go so hard. In the pouring rain, he ended up looking like he'd just lost a fight with a meat tenderizer.
