The red line on the big display kept sinking lower and lower and every drop made the crowd more restless. Soon, mocking voices filled the hall.

"Wasn’t that kid confident earlier? Where’s that confidence now?"

“He spoke carelessly moment ago like he’s been in this business for decades... I feel pity for those who listened to him." Another laughed.

"Mr. Xiao must be very disappointed in his daughter for following the word of some kid because of their pretty face. Young people these days." Another clicked their tongue.

"They need to stay home and play with toys, not enter real business."

The insults hit hard, each word feeling like a stone thrown at Damien. Some laughed openly, others shook their heads in pity, and even Miss Xiao standing near him felt the pressure of the humiliation.

Damien, however, stayed calm, his eyes following the falling red line as he placed his hand on his chin, deep in thought. Then suddenly, a memory came back to him.

He recalled sitting in on a meeting with

    Natalia widened in disbelief as she stared at Alondra as if she had completely lost her mind. "You’re serious about drugging Damien? What exactly are you planning... sleeping with him, or something worse? Because I honestly don’t get it."Alondra released a sly smile, her eyes glinting with mischief as she gave a low chuckle."Well… can’t say," she replied lazily. "You’ll just have to wait until tonight to see how it goes."Natalia blinked, stunned. "Tonight?" she repeated, her voice rising. "You’re planning on doing it tonight?"Alondra chuckled again, her laughter slow and unsettling as though the whole thing amused her. She twirled the small bottle in her fingers, staring at it like it was some kind of achievement."You should worry less," she said coldly. "With Gilbert on my side, things will go exactly as planned." Her gaze hardened, fixing on the bottle before she gently set it on the bedside table.Natalia shifted to a side uncomfortably. She wanted to say more, but Alondra’s

    Jerry’s voice crackled through the phone, filled with surprise. “What do you mean by that? Do you want them to know you’re alive now?" he asked, almost breathless.Lyriel gave a steady smile. "Me? Who knows? I can’t say for sure… but I do want to see the look on their faces, honestly." She chuckled, finding the thought funny."That’s not funny," Jerry muttered.Lyriel rolled her eyes. "I’m serious. I want to be at that wedding."There was a pause, then instead of responding, Jerry’s next question was a little worried. "And Lyriel, how do you plan to get your company back at this point? Everyone seems to have forgotten about you. When will you ever return and take your place again?"She let out a soft breath and stare up at the ceiling. “That’s enough about that for today, Jerry. Everyone already thinks I died in that car accident.""Lyriel," he said seriously."There you go being serious again," she replied, then her tone hardened. "But I’ve gathered enough evidence against those two.

    Damien’s sharp eyes scanned the crowd, and then they landed on the familiar figure. A faint smile appeared on his face as he recognized Mr. Parker, then without hesitation, he walked toward him."Greetings, sir," he said politely, lowering himself into the seat beside him.Mr. Parker raised a brow, surprised at the confidence in Damien’s tone."Oh? And who might you be?""I’m Damien," he introduced himself smoothly.Mr. Parker chuckled. "You’ve got a fine name, kid. And I indeed love your confidence."Damien’s lips curved into a tight smile. "Kid…" he repeated under his breath, forcing a light laugh.In his mind, however, his thoughts were screaming loud enough. "I’m twenty-nine. Soon to be thirty. Thirty...Hardly a kid."But he swallowed the words, choosing instead to keep his composure."So, Mr. Parker," he asked lightly, "you came here to invest"Mr. Parker nodded. "Yeah... I heard about them a few years back and I decided to give it my first shot. And you?""Yeah, me too,” Damien

    Lyriel’s fingers gently wrapped around Damien’s hand, her eyes filled with concern. He shook his head slowly, giving her a reassuring smile as if to tell her there was nothing to worry about. "Things will go well," he assured. Turning away from her, he focused his attention on the two men standing nearby. "Meet me here tomorrow," he instructed. "We’ll go and invest." He added. A faint smirk appeared at the corner of his lips as he thought about the investment thing. It sounded crazy and unbelievable, but this was the only way to compete with the Cruz. The men bowed respectfully, their voices in unison as they replied, "Yes, boss." Without another word, they excused themselves, leaving the room in silence once more. Damien rose to his feet and extended his hand toward Lyriel. She placed her hand in his, and with an ease that left her breathless, he carried her into his arms . Her lips parted in surprise, but before she could say anything, he leaned in and kissed her gent

    "You should pick up" Lyriel finally said, meeting Damien's gaze.He exhaled, nodded once, and pulled the phone out of his pocket, answering the call without a word."We’re at your place, boss," came the voice on the other end."Alright." Damien finally said. "I’ll be with you in a moment." then he ended the call.When he turned back, Lyriel was already pulling her top back into place, though her hands trembled a little. She looked up at him with a faint smile. "You should go. I'll be fine."Damien didn’t argue. Instead, he helped her with her clothes properly, making sure she was comfortable, then helped her up as they left the room together.In the living room, three men were waiting. Three of them bowed respectfully when they saw Damien. The third, however, was unfamiliar. Damien’s gaze lingered on him, his brows furrowing slightly."Boss," the two greeted.One of them quickly spoke up, pointing at the stranger. "This is Nicolas. The guy I talked to you about."Damien nodded once, t
