When Love Breaks by Jack

Dailey casually lifted his glass, swirling the drink with a leisurely air.

Ah, this is getting interesting.

Gregory was at his limit.

He couldn’t stand the revulsion any longer and broke the silence. It was directed at Josiah.

“Your family’s fortune for your wife and kids, take it or leave it.”

Josiah couldn’t believe his ears.

But his response was cut off by Samuel, “You’re quite the character, huh?”

Gregory felt a chill crawl up his spine.

He hadn’t expected the mafia to stoop to such lows.

It was all about holding a strategic position.

“I like you, and I need someone like you. Join me, and rule this side of town. Whatever you want, you got it.”

Josiah wanted to speak but was afraid of offending Samuel, feeling utterly choked up.

It was only because of the Norman family’s years of influence that a fool like Samuel could ever dream of being the boss.

Gregory couldn’t sit still any longer, he subtly signaled with his fingers.

His men appeared in an instant, surrounding Samuel and his crew.

Samuel spread his hands, “So, we’re done talking?”

Gregory not only refused to talk but also wanted to silence him completely.
