Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

The creditors who had come to collect their debts were now pale and on edge.

With Horatio's temper and sheer brute strength, he had probably been torn to

pieces by now.

Whatever the Ackermann family owed, they no longer dared to ask for it.

Just then, Abel, the ever-polished CEO of Ackermann Pharmaceutical, finally

appeared. He strolled in with a perfectly composed smile, his gold-rimmed

glasses perched on his nose. A sleek designer suit framed him in that carefully

curated image of a high-society professional.

The moment he appeared, he smiled apologetically. "Sorry, everyone, I'm late! But

rest assured, the Ackermann family will repay what we owe-every last cent."

white shirt, he added with a gentle chuckle, "Now, let's be honest here. It's not that

family."
