*Boom!*As if thunder had struck, when Wesley saw Cal's face, he was utterly petrified and fell off his chair in terror."Cal!""What are you doing?""Look at the mess you've made!"This scene shocked Serena and the others.They rushed over to help Wesley up, asked about his injuries with concern, and simultaneously scolded and blamed Cal."You can't even handle a bowl of porridge properly?""What use are you?!""Look what you've done to Director Wu!""You've ruined our company's important business. I'll deal with you later!"Shane's words were even harsher. This time, he didn't even bother concealing his contempt and openly berated Cal.Grant also joined in, belittling Cal. "A useless person who creates more problems than he solves!""Someone like you—a toad wanting to eat swan meat?"Grant had obviously heard from Grace about Cal's relationship with Serena. Though he'd never respected Cal, he instinctively felt hostile toward this waste who had designs on his girlfriend."Shut up!"

"General, please spare me.""Please, I'm begging you.""You're beautiful and well-figured—why are you so fixated on me?""There are plenty of men out there who'd love to be with you. Just find one and you can still make my brother jealous, right?"Facing the cold and domineering female general before him, Cal began pleading.There was no other way. If being tough didn't work, he had to try being soft.*What if it worked?*But the facts proved there was no "what if."Morgan seemed to have made up her mind and was determined to claim Cal."Cal, I'll give you two days to think it over.""I still hope you'll reconsider and voluntarily come with me to the banquet.""Otherwise, don't blame me for tying you up and dragging you there.""Also, I can tell you that in two days, the plane carrying your mother and brother will land at Harborview International Airport.""At that time, I'll immediately pick them up and bring them to Riverton.""Do you want to be my official boyfriend and meet your m

The Reeve family in the capital was one of the most powerful families in the nation.Families like this naturally attracted enormous attention.Countless women like Grace dreamed of marrying the prince of the Reeve family and becoming a wealthy wife."You can keep dreaming," Serena teased."Alright, it's almost time to finish work. Let's pack up and go.""I'll treat you to a big meal tonight.""Quickly contact Rain."Serena was undoubtedly delighted at having obtained the entry ticket to the Entrepreneur Conference and was ready to celebrate tonight.It was at that moment Cal knocked on Serena's office door."Hmm?""What are you doing here?""Is this a place a small security guard like you can just waltz into?""Get out!"Cal always ignored this irritating woman, Grace.He looked at Serena and asked, "Ms. Whitmore, I heard Harrison Blake personally sent you the entry ticket to the Entrepreneur Conference?"Serena nodded coldly. "Yes. Why do you ask?"Cal said, "Nothing—I just want to

"Oh my god!""You country bumpkin, who are you to tell us to leave?""We were talking to our friend—what right do you have to interrupt?""What's going on?""You tried to seduce my sister Serena, and now you're changing targets to bother my sister Rain?""You're like a toad wanting to eat swan meat—completely delusional!"Grace was so angry she was trembling, cursing at Cal directly.She never imagined her best friend would deceive them just to have dinner with Cal, this wild boy.This made both Serena and Grace feel the sting of betrayal by a friend!"Rain, why did you lie to us?""Don't you owe Grace and me an explanation?"Serena ignored Cal and questioned Rain instead.She needed an explanation!"I'm sorry, Serena. I... I made plans with Cal yesterday..." Rain lowered her head like a kitten being scolded for doing something wrong, explaining shamefully."So you chose to lie to us just to have dinner with him?""But Rain, don't you think deception is a very despicable behavior?"Se

"But Rain, aren't you afraid being with me will affect your friendship with your friends?"To be honest, Cal hadn't expected Rain would choose to stay and have dinner with him. He'd thought a gentle, obedient girl like her would listen to her friends and keep her distance. But she chose to stay with him—she must have gathered considerable courage to make that choice.Rain smiled. "They'll definitely be angry with me. But don't worry—Serena isn't an unreasonable person. I'll explain to her, and she'll understand.""I'm sorry, Cal. Because of me, you were wrongly accused by Serena.""I'll explain to her. I invited you voluntarily—you never deceived me."Rain felt a little guilty. She'd wanted to thank Cal but hadn't expected to cause him trouble.Serena hadn't had a good impression of Cal to begin with, and after tonight's incident, his situation in the Whitmore family was even more precarious.Cal didn't care and waved his hand. "No need to explain. What's there to explain?""Let them
