Healy was in cahoots with Jaden.
Previously, she had incurred Jaden’s wrath. They didn’t have the courage to seek retribution against Matthew, so they resorted to threatening her about raising the rent.
Realizing she was cornered, she suppressed her rage.
“The deadline isn’t until next week.”
Healy huffed, “This is my property, and I say you’ll pay today!”
Just then, the office door swung open.

“Mr. Diaz, your voice carries. It’s ungentlemanly to bully a woman, don’t you think?”
Matthew stood next to Neville. His icy demeanor alone was enough to unsettle Healy.

Healy sensed that the identities of these two men were far from ordinary, yet he remained determined not to lose face.
He swallowed hard and said, “Who are you? This is my place. What’s wrong with raising rent on my own property?”
“Intimidating her is where you crossed the line,” Neville shot back, undeterred.
“Apologize.”

“What lies are you spouting?”
He raised his hand to strike Miley, but before he could, a powerful kick sent him sprawling to the floor.
Neville glared at the crumpled figure.
“Leave. Now. Or I’ll see to it you don’t have a roof over your head.”
No longer the casual joker he usually was, Neville’s visage was steely and resolute.
Healy clutched his chest, struggling to his feet. Without a word, he cast a malevolent look at Miley and ran away as fast as he could.
Stella burst through the door, immediately locking eyes with a scowling Healy.
Healy huffed, clutching his chest as he left.
