Chapter 2803 “I've been investigating you. It has nothing to do with Nolan. If you want my life, just take it!” Regina's voice rang out with a desperate edge.

Nolan yanked Regina back to his side and gripped her shoulders as he looked into her eyes, his voice tinged with frustration. “Have you lost your mind? What's the point in reasoning with this guy? Do you really think your words will touch his heart?” “But it’s all because of me! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be digging into this mess. You wouldn't be stuck here with me, | can’t stand by and watch you lose your life over this,” Regina protested, her voice trembling with emotion.

Domingo burst into mocking laughter at the sight of their obvious affection for each other. He pointed at them and sneered to his henchmen, “Look at these two, playing the tragic lovers like they'd actually die for each other. But put a knife to one of their throats, and | bet they'd sell the other out to save their own skin. Who are they trying to fool here? You think I've been in the gfor all these years for nothing? Couples like you, who'd split the moment money is on the line, are a da dozen.” Once again, Nolan positioned himself protectively in front of Regina, his brows furrowed as he stared down Domingo. “Listen, Domingo, I'm calling you by nnow. Our beef isn’t irreconcilable. You say Regina and | are all about personal gain, but isn’t that what our dispute is about too? Letput it this way: | chere today to clear up the issue with the land you sold me. If | agree not to hold that against you, regardless of how shady that deal was, can you spare us today? I'm not asking for much-just let Regina walk out that door unharmed.” As Nolan finished his plea, he felt Regina's hand tighten in his own, and he gave it a reassuring squeeze.

Domingo was about to refuse when one of his cronies sidled up and whispered, “Mr. Skinner, it's not smart to burn bridges with Mr. Harris. We made a killing off that land deal with him. If he’s willing to bury the hatchet, we might even land a partnership with the Harris Group down the line. Remember, he’s the hottest young investor right now. Even his scraps could keep us living high on the hog for life.” No sooner had the words left the henchman’s mouth than Domingo cuffed him on the back of his head. “Where's your pride, man? Since when do | bow down for cash?” “But Mr. Skinner, we're talking about the kind of money we couldn’t make in a lifethere; last year’s profits from the Harris Group alone...” The henchman was determined to persuade their boss to sit down and hash things out with Nolan. What if Nolan, being the bigger man, decided to let bygones be bygones? Despite seemingly having the upper hand, they couldn't help but lower their gaze before Nolan's commanding presence. They knew, in reality, the power was still in Nolan’s hands, 1/2 08:24 # Chapter 2803 | even as they stood there with their boss looking like they had the advantage.

Nolan stood unruffled, his demeanor calm as if he held a winning card up his sleeve. The henchmen knew they had to think about their own futures too.

It might be easy for Domingo to dismiss a small sum, but this was no pocket change. With his henchman’s words ringing in his ears, the money suddenly bectoo significant to ignore.
