Chapter 6 - The Secret Ownership
"Mr. Mercer, please!" Beatrice wailed hysterically, violently waving her free hand. "You don't have to deal with this trash! I am the general manager of this multi-million-dollar establishment! I will handle her!"
"You don't handle anything," Roman whispered coldly.
Roman took one deliberate step toward the screaming woman. The terrifying, utterly demonic aura of the syndicate boss completely paralyzed Beatrice. She physically staggered backward, immediately letting go of Tessa's arm.
"I bought this entire restaurant three weeks ago, Beatrice," Roman stated clinically, entirely devoid of human mercy.
Beatrice’s jaw literally unhinged. All the color violently drained from her flawless powdered face, leaving her looking like a terrified ghost.
"You've been aggressively embezzling funds from my new corporate accounts to pay for your luxury car," Roman explained flawlessly, ensuring his bodyguards heard every single devastating word. "I was going to wait until tomorrow to have you arrested. But since you just physically assaulted a Vaughn in my presence, the timeline has advanced."
"A Vaughn?!" Beatrice choked out, profound terror actively destroying her mind. She looked at Tessa in absolute, breathless horror, realizing exactly who she had been mentally torturing for the last six months.
"No, please!" Beatrice sobbed violently, dropping to her knees on the polished marble floor. "I didn't know! I swear to God I didn't know!"
Roman completely ignored the weeping, pathetic manager. He looked directly at Tessa.
