“Yes, I do have something to say,” Adrian said.Eric couldn’t think of a better way to handle the situation. Unsure how else to resolve it, he asked Adrian the question directly into the mic.At Adrian’s tone, everyone paid close attention, waiting eagerly for what he would say.From the table, it was difficult to clearly hear their discussion without the mic on, but from the audience, a person only needed to raise their voice slightly and it would echo through the hall, amplifying the tension. The whispers grew more intense, filling the room because the room has its was of making the intended whispers to sound more.People seemed to enjoy moments like this—when the aura of a sudden strange billionaire like Adrian shifted the entire atmosphere.“I don’t think I’m interested in joining your joke club anymore.” His tone was sharp, sending a wave of new tension through the air.“He literally called the four owners of EpicT

From the look of things, Nola felt the reason Adrian was running his mouth now was just because he was under the backing of Steve.After Lyra had told her that she actually saw Steve greet him respectfully before he entered his car, Nola could only think that Adrian and Steve must somehow be friends—or something else.But that didn’t matter now, because she wasn’t even sure Steve could save him from this trouble. And again, she thought Steve would be stupid if he tried to. Saving Adrian would mean sacrificing too much—it’d be like fighting a case where you’d have to prove yourself stronger by showing all your cards. In this game of power, the strongest wins. And Nola wasn’t sure Steve was strong enough to compete with them anyway.“Benedict was right,” she muttered with an awkward laugh. She felt satisfied that Adrian’s pride would be his downfall.She even thought Benedict was right about Adrian not being able to afford the huge amount

The audience was more anticipated than they might have realized. All were expecting more of a show than the short version they just saw. At least they wanted to see if Adrian would go head-to-head with the military guard, who seemed pretty strong and had a nice muscular body that suggested an experienced fighter. He was even able to withstand the guard’s hand-squeezing wrestle and didn’t look a bit pained.It made them want to watch every scene play out, but in the end it was disappointing for them, as Adrian had just kicked the guard in one move, leaving him groaning bitterly on the ground.The other guards quickly ran to check on him as he seemed to be severely hurt.They couldn’t really understand how much strength that kick carried to have made even the strongest among them groan on the ground.Gabriel, at this moment, frowned. He was confused as to whether the guard was deliberately messing around or Adrian was just that strong and

Seeing that her mother had walked forward, Lyra quickly followed, her heart beating faster than the steps she took.She was fragile and always seemed to get worried easily when things came up. Thinking of John in their house was a bit off.Although she and John had been friends for a while and he’d always helped her and supported her family back then, he had never come to their house. And since his family was even in the mud and forgotten, she didn’t expect him to be here.“Sorry if I’ve caused you to get worried. I’ve only come with a gift,” John said as soon as he saw Nola, with Lyra walking behind her, and the way they stormed into the parlor.Just as he said that, he brought out a necklace in a red box that seemed to scream luxury and wealth as he opened it.The chandelier above the sitting room seemed to make a glowing connection with the necklace as its brightness shone under its glory.The necklace was surely a

Lyra was blown away by his affectionate nature. Usually, she never noticed he had such a sweet voice, but now it sounded like the perfect instrument playing the most peaceful sound into her ear.“Oh, come on, you don’t have to be like that. You can take me out if you want, it doesn’t matter if we’re not married,” Lyra said, carried away.She couldn’t believe herself, but she just wanted him to at least take her to his house so she could see and tell how wealthy he had become.She wasn’t sure if it was ambition, love, or something else she was feeling right now—all she knew was that she wanted to see more of what John was capable of.“Well, since I’m my family’s heir, it’s not appropriate if they find out I’m just going out with a woman. They’d assume I’m not serious about things, because they expect that if I like someone, I should say it, and they’d plan a quick, quiet wedding. That way, I could peacefully live with the person without w
