“Hey, beat them all until they bleed out and beg on their knees,” Jacob said once his men came into the room.His face brightened with hope, as if he was now a king, speaking with confidence and authority.A fat man, who seemed to be the gang leader, took the lead. His sneering, deadly gaze burned with pride as he carried himself with confidence, like he was stepping on glory—even though he was just stepping on the ground.Without looking around, he sighted the figure he thought he’d start with. Steve stood there, not even turning back, as if he already recognized who was approaching. He acted carefree, like whoever was coming was no threat to him.And because of such a reaction, Sam, the fat potbelly guy leading the crew, walked forward.He hated being in a place where someone acted like they were the hero who feared nothing, and he wouldn’t let that small gesture slide.Seralyth deliberately stepped aside to let the m

And the truth is he’s really nervous about such a thing that had happened. He didn’t know how to deny responsibility, because where he’s from, such things are considered a crime and he’d be punished severely for impregnating a lady before marriage. So Steve was truly nervous about what Smith might do about it, although a side of him felt calm because Adrian had assured him that everything would be fine as long as he admitted and apologized. For a moment, Mr. Smith was silent and didn’t say a word. He was wondering how, even with the fame and wealth Steve had pulled in Vereluxe City, he was still this humble and soft-edged. He was very pleased with his gesture of an honest apology. In truth, it was wrong for his daughter to be pregnant even before he knew who she was dating, but everything had happened so fast, and Smith wasn’t angry. “Sir, please name anything you want me to do to redeem myself, and I promise…” Steve continued, unsure wh

“So, do you have the file I asked you to prepare?” Adrian asked in a professional tone. He barely even took a glance at her. But he could picture the beauty on her face—even without looking, he already knew perfectly how she looked. Still, he chose to remain professional. “Yes,” Vivienne said, almost hesitant. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable with how distinct and distant he was acting just because he was at work. He only focused on the computer in front of him, as if he was looking at something important. But in truth, he only had a game open that he was clicking through. He had just resumed in the office today and hadn’t yet done the necessary things before they would start giving him details of the company’s business and information about it. Only then would he have serious work to do. Since he had no work yet, he chose to play a game. “Here…” Vivi

“Isn’t that Adrian Foster?” Nola asked, her eyes widening, though disdain lingered at the corner of her gaze as she looked in the direction he was seated. Lyra was speechless. She couldn’t understand why he was here. But then it made sense when she noticed Vivienne sitting next to him. Vivienne had been seated on another row before, but when she saw Adrian there, she went over to keep him company. Again, she noticed that something was going on and wanted to truly understand what Adrian’s position in the company was that earned him so much respect. First, the lady at the counter who initially treated her with disdain had suddenly changed her attitude when she realized Adrian was the man Vivienne had been looking for. Then, Mr. Gabriel—well known for his arrogance—had referred to Adrian as “sir.” All of this made her feel like something was happening that she didn’t quite understand. Moreover, she hadn’t caught much from Adr

“I’ve made it this way so it’d be more fun and exciting. Y’all should see this as me trying to entertain you,” Gabriel said with a grin on his face. He tried to mask his intentions by making it look like a fun way to introduce the new member who would be joining the table. The whole audience was filled with anticipation, glancing around and trying to guess who it might be. They could only wish their own names would be mentioned, though deep down they knew it was nothing more than imagination. The auctioning had been entirely Gabriel’s idea from the start. His plan was to use it as a way to spot the wealthiest person present, then invite that person to join them as the solution to their current situation. Since people loved the auctioning idea, Gabriel kept his eyes on whoever was spending the most money that night. He wanted to calculate how wealthy a person must be if they could casually purchase high-price
