Unrivaled Warrior novel Chapter 10

"Ah... I understand."

Dax nodded, acknowledging the validity of Nadine's words.

Lucian's phone call had cost them the project yesterday. He had even threatened them to force an apology, yet the Harrisons had managed to succeed through their own means.

If Lucian and Freya were not here to apologize, then why were they here?

Otherwise, they would be in unfavorable positions.

"An apology requires sincerity. Where is your gift?"

Dax towered over Lucian and turned to Freya in a condescending manner, asking, "How about this? Both you and that boy kneel at the gates until the celebration is over. Maybe then I'll consider forgiving you for your foolishness."

"Hahahahaha..."

The guests burst into laughter. Wasn't making a disabled person kneel a bit excessive?

"Old Mr. Harrison, your granddaughter is completely paralyzed. She cannot kneel."

"Bend over until the celebration is over."

Dax snorted coldly. "This is the price for offending me."

Frank and Annie rushed out of the kitchen, with Annie close to tears. "Please don't. Frank is your son. Fay is your granddaughter. Please don't make her do this. I'll kneel in her place. I'll stay there for three days if you want."

Annie got on her knees before the crowd and frantically apologized.

"Mom, stop it..."

Freya's eyes welled up with tears. Her mother had sacrificed too much for her. She had sold her car, her home, and signed her life away just so Freya could see a doctor. And now, here she was, a spectacle for the crowd.

Why?

Why do the Harrisons treat us like this?

Tears streamed down her cheeks. Her gaze turned cold as she stared at Dax. "I'm not here to apologize to you, Dax Harrison. I'm here to warn you. That demolition project belongs to me and Lucian, not the Harrison family."

"Ahahahahaha."

Thunderous laughter erupted throughout the courtyard. Dax and his family were close to tears from laughing. The contract sitting in the main room was as good as signed.

Freya's words were laughable.

What qualifications did a disabled person like her have to be in charge of such a large-scale project?

Nadine laughed coldly. "Are you still daydreaming, Freya? You may have been a business genius in the past, but now you're just a worthless person who can't even stand up. Why would the Infernal Group ever give it to you?"

"What did you say?"

Lucian narrowed his eyes, his expression turning murderous.

"I said she's just a worthless person who can't even stand up. Am I wrong?"

Slap!

Damn you, Lucian!
