At the Harbor family home.
The Harbor Matriarch angrily sat on her armchair in the opulent living room.
Inside the living room were dozens of other men and women who were all key figures of the Harbor family.
Among them was a couple; the man sat awkwardly as the woman sobbed.
That couple was Scott Graham and Layla Harbor.
"That little brat, Nathan Cross, has gone too far," the Matriarch remarked furiously. "First, he broke my grandson's legs, then he made my son kneel all day and night. Now, even my married daughter has been humiliated by him."
The Matriarch's second eldest son, Blaine, spoke up solemnly. "I just received word that Griffin's been forced to quit after provoking Nathan. The directors have accepted the resignation."
Bam!
The Matriarch slammed her palm on the table with rage. "The Harbor family of Mayberry hasn't received such humiliation for the past hundreds of years."
At this moment, the Matriarch's eldest son, Noel, said in frustration while in his wheelchair, "You're right. That b*stard's gone too far. He's walking all over us.”
A look of disgruntlement flashed in Blaine's eyes. "Mom, Noel, I think Nathan's intentionally coming at us. He's going to try even harder to oppress us. We can't let him do as he pleases."
Everyone turned to Blaine.
"What do you mean by that, Blaine?" the Matriarch asked.
"Fight back," Blaine answered decisively. "We have to fight back and make Nathan pay"
