On the second floor, she observed a bodyguard knocking on a door.
Someone emerged to open it, and the bodyguards carried Henry inside.
Hannah trailed behind.
Facing them was an executive chair silhouetted against a large French window.
Caleb approached, signaling the bodyguards to exit.
Henry, presuming Caleb was the boss, straightened his attire, downplaying the situation.
“Such a trivial sum. Was it necessary to drag me here? I’m leaving now…”
As he turned to depart, Caleb’s hand firmly clasped his shoulder.
“Mr. Phillips, you owe us seventy million. When do you plan to repay it?”
Caleb’s soft-spoken query might have emboldened Henry, who retorted brusquely, “I’ll pay, just don’t hassle me!”
Unruffled, Caleb’s smile lingered as he proposed, “Seventy million is not an insignificant figure. I’ll grant you five days. Is that enough time for you to gather the funds?”
With a six-billion-dollar debt already looming over him, Henry scoffed at the idea that more debt could affect him, arrogantly declaring, “I won’t repay it. What are you going to do about it?”
His smugness was unshaken, convinced they were powerless against him.

Caleb’s smile persisted as he tightened his grip on Henry’s shoulder, eliciting a piercing scream from Henry.
“Ah!”
Henry’s shoulder suffered a dislocation, contorting at Caleb’s hands.
The twist prompted a scream from Henry, who crumpled to the floor.
Hannah, observing with an icy gaze, acknowledged Caleb’s evident expertise but withheld any verbal acknowledgment.
“It seems that you don’t want to talk to me nicely.”
A series of desperate denials followed.
“No, no, no… No!”
Agony etched Henry’s face, manifesting in cold sweat that traced a path down from his forehead. Lying prone on the floor, he trembled while pleading, “I don’t have money to pay back. It’s not that I don’t want to pay you back…”
Despite the pain, Henry managed to raise his intact hand, pointing accusingly at Hannah upon catching a glimpse of her dress. He accused, “It’s her! She’s the cheat! She made me lose money on purpose. If you want money, ask her for it!”
Caleb’s gaze shifted to Hannah.
