Hamilton glanced at Alessia, and for a split second, he felt ancient-like his ears had betrayed him.
Bacchus watched the scene unfold, silently applauding in his mind.
*0Of all the people to provoke, you just had to pick these two little devils who never forget a grudge.* Bacchus
shook his head, lighting an imaginary candle for Hamilton’s doomed soul.
“Don’t push your luck!” Hamilton suddenly shot to his feet, pointing a trembling finger at the siblings. He looked
so unsteady that Bacchus half-expected him to collapse and fake an injury right then and there.
“Hamilton, actions have consequences,” Max replied calmly, not rising from his seat. “If you refuse to accept
that, you're only making things harder for everyone.”
Despite Hamilton's outburst, the siblings sat unfazed, not budging an inch. There was no sign of retreat or
hesitation.
“How much do you want? Nyour price!” Hamilton stared at Max, defeat flickering in his eyes.
Hamilton, I'm not sure you realize,” Alessia interjected, arching her brow as if she'd just heard a joke, “but my
brother and | run a company that makes more in a day than the Quincy family does in a month.”
“Then what do you want?” Hamilton snapped, his voice strained.
“It’s simple. An apology,” Max said, his tone suddenly cold. The siblings’ smiles faded, replaced by a palpable
sense of authority.
Hamilton's face darkened, but he didn’t immediately refuse-not like at the beginning. He was weighing his

family’s future would be doomed.
Every path was blocked. Hamilton clenched his jaw, finally realizing he had underestimated these two.
“Tammie can apologize,” he muttered, “but only in private.”
“Hamilton, are you confused about something?” Max spoke, his hand resting casually on his knee, predatory and
calm, like a hawk eyeing its prey. “You don’t have any bargaining chips left.”
“But I'll give you a third option.”
“What is it?” Hamilton barked, hope flickering.
“It’s simple. I'll release this document online and let the public judge you.” Max tossed the folder onto the table
in front of Hamilton, his expression as cold as ice-gone was the earlier veneer of politeness. His patience had
clearly run out.
“Wait! | choose the second option! The second!” Hamilton's composure cracked as he shot to his feet, panic
overriding his pride.
Bacchus couldn't hide his grin; he was glad he'd stayed-he wouldn't have missed this showdown for the world.
“Too late,” Max replied, rising to his feet with chilling calm. “Once | offered the third option, your chance to
choose ended.”
“Bacchus, please show Mr. Quincy out.”
“Of course.” Bacchus spun his chair around and dialed the phone.
Within moments, the assistant arrived.
“Mr. Quincy, this way please.”

“See him out,” Max said coldly, not a trace of pity in his voice.
Hamilton stared, stunned and speechless, as the assistant led him away. Max watched without the slightest hint
of sympathy.
