“Looks like Joshua–the golden boy–has finally hit rock bottom,” one man said with a smirk.

“Seriously. Ever since Connor publicly warned people off doing business with Garcia Group, their partnerships have tanked one after another. This month’s losses nearly wiped out everything they earned in the first half of the year,” another chimed in.

“Can you believe Joshua’s now stooping to drinking with us just to beg for a deal?” a third guy cracked, laughing.

“I always heard Garcia Group was this powerhouse, always acting all humble and low–key. Turns out that wasn’t modesty–looks like they’re actually going downhill,” someone else remarked.

“Word is Joshua’s dating Xylia, right? But just this morning, I heard even the Sadler Group was forced to pull the plug on their contract with Garcia Group. At this rate, Garcia Group’s basically become public enemy number one,” another man chimed in.

Everyone burst out laughing.

Xylia stood by the door, taking in every word.

‘What the hell is going on with Garcia Group? It sounds like everyone’s ganging up on them, she thought.

‘And why the hell is Kaden kicking them when they’re already down?‘ She couldn’t wrap her head around it.

‘I just can’t figure this out,‘ Xylia frowned inwardly.

But now wasn’t the time to dwell on it.

She shoved the door open, her gaze sweeping over the group sprawled on the couch.

Startled by her sudden entrance, they all turned to look at her, confusion written all over their faces.

“Who the hell are you?” one of them finally asked.

Xylia swept her gaze over the group as if they were dirt beneath her shoes, then strode wordlessly over to Joshua.

Joshua’s jacket lay tossed on the floor, trampled by more than one pair of shoes.

Obviously, several people had stomped on it.

Xylia turned to the crowd, her eyes sharp. “Which one of you decided to bully him?”

Her frosty words made everyone shiver.

They weren’t intimidated by some young woman, but Xylia’s commanding vibe made a few guys
