Chapter 1040
“Oh yeah, yeah!” the hooligan was super chuffed, “You remember me?”
Baillie shot him an icy stare that could freeze you to your core.
The hooligan was mulling things over, seems like he’s getting the hang of reading people.
“Did you come with Grant?” Baillie asked.
Before the dude could even blurt out a reply.
He added frostily: “You lot have the guts to scare my wife, you’ve leveled up.”
The words sounded like a compliment.

“Your wife? You’re married?”
Baillie couldn’t be bothered, he made a beeline for Paige
“All good?” He reached out, taking the files from Paige’s hands smoothly.
Paige shook her head: “I’m fine, thank god Lynn and Mike were here, or these guys would’ve barged in!”
“Misunderstanding!! Big misunderstanding!!” cried the hooligan, rushing forward, “If I knew we were coming for
your wife, I wouldn’t have dared!”
He turned to his crew, “What are you lot doing standing there, get over here!!”
The gang of thugs obediently shuffled over.
What kind of man was their boss?
Most big shots were on equal footing with him.
If he was kowtowing to a young lad like this, what did that mean? That this lad must be a big shot!
Grant and Ellory stood there in disbelief. “You guys took my money!!” Grant exclaimed, his voice filled with shock
and anger.
Without hesitation, the hooligan swiftly retrieved a wad of cash from his coat pocket and threw it back at them.
“Here’s your cash back. Who are you trying to impress with this pocket change?”
Paige turned to Rosalynn, her expression revealing her surprise. This unexpected turn of events was something she
hadn’t anticipated. Rosalynn leaned in and whispered in Paige’s ear, “Your hubby has quite a network!”

“Fine!” Grant seethed with anger. “I have belongings inside. I’m just going to get my things, alright?”
Before Paige could respond, the hooligan interjected firmly. “No way! You shameless jerk, you still owe money. If
you want to take anything, pay up first. We’ll have someone watching you.”
Ellory’s face turned green, almost blending in with the surrounding foliage. “Mike, could you please escort these
irrelevant people out,” Paige instructed, looking at Mike.
“Understood Mike responded, ready to take action.
“Let’s go in,” Paige said to Rosalynn, tightly holding Baillie’s hand.
“This isn’t over, Paige! I’ll sue you!!!” Grant shouted from behind.
Rosalynn turned around, shooting Grant a cold and icy glare. Baillie, however, didn’t look back. Finally, the front
door closed, separating them from Grant and Ellory.
