"Young Master Dave Ramirez, it's been a long time since we last met. I've been looking for you everywhere."Dave 's eyebrows furrowed as he saw the unfamiliar man in front of him. After three hours behind bars, Dave now found himself in the visitation room.A few minutes ago, the prison guard had mentioned that someone wanted to see him. Dave thought the visitor was Selena. However, the person in front of him was a man dressed formally, resembling a leader of bodyguards.Dave had never known anyone who worked as a bodyguard. Also, the man in front of him was not from Selena's or the Warles family's security team."Who are you? Why do you address me as Young Master?" Dave asked."I can't explain at length because the visiting time is short. So, let me introduce myself. My name is Michael Sebastian. You probably don't know me," said the man named Michael.Dave remained silent, only observing Michael. He silently tried to recall if he had ever met Michael accidentally. Although in

"Let me handle it myself," Dave 's emphatic voice echoed, leaving Michael nodding in agreement.There was a desire to object because he felt useless as a bodyguard for the man."But, Mr. Dave . They will surely..." Michael started, but Dave signaled for him to just follow his words. Reluctantly, Michael finally closed his mouth tightly."I'll be right back," Dave said shortly, turning on his heel and walking into the Warleslock Company Group.All the employees who had once been his colleagues there didn't seem the same anymore.Many of them whispered, discussing Dave who had been a parasite in their company a year ago."Shameless! He embezzled company funds and still has the audacity to show his face here!""That's right. He should never have come back here. His presence will surely only bring more bad news."Dave ignored all the sneers directed at him. He kept walking, thickening his ears so that none of those words would affect him.Click!Dave opened the door to his old office

"Help me, Sir! Save me! I don't want to be their plaything!"With a pleading expression and tears that Dave himself wasn't sure were genuine, the woman tried to garner sympathy from Dave .The men still holding onto the woman exchanged glances, seemingly communicating solely through eye contact.The men in all-black suits felt genuinely puzzled, especially with the woman's accusatory words insinuating they were criminals.The bewildered glances they exchanged led some of them to shake their heads slightly.They were all certain that none of their words or intentions could have possibly provoked the woman in any way.One of the taller men in black signaled for them to quickly pull the woman away and hurry off."Let go! Let go of me!"The woman struggled.Many of them tried hard to restrain her from breaking free."Stop! I said let go of me!" She continued to struggle."No, Miss Brianna. You must come with us. Hurry! Take Miss Brianna and get her into the car!"Instructions from one of

"Miss Brianna, I have to leave now," Dave immediately stood up after saying that without waiting for Brianna's response.It could be ensured that Dave walked hurriedly followed by Michael behind him, as if there was something that made him have to rush away at that moment.Meanwhile, Brianna could only sigh, letting Dave leave without being able to stop his steps."He's leaving me alone without manners, just wait until we meet again, I'll definitely teach him a lesson."Instantly, Brianna fell silent, feeling lonely in a place that was actually quite crowded.***"Welcome back to the Centratama Group family, Dave Ramirez."While tightly gripping his briefcase handle, Dave stared blankly at Maximus's figure. A few moments ago, while in the car on the way to this mansion, Michael informed him that Maximus was already waiting for his arrival.Dave was also surprised by how big this mansion was. He didn't expect that he would be able to set foot in a place like this. Was he really f

Selena tried to smile, forcing herself to act normal even though she was actually annoyed by Dave's words. Her hand, still holding Dave's arm, trembled slightly—whether from nervousness or anger, even Selena herself wasn't sure."Threatened? Of course not," Selena said in a forced cheerful tone. "Actually, we're happy to have healthy competition in the business world. Dad always says competition makes us stronger."Dave raised one eyebrow, a thin smile still fixed on his face. He could clearly see the tension in the corners of Selena's eyes, the way she bit her lower lip slightly, a habit that always appeared when Selena was lying."Oh, really?" Dave replied casually. "I'm glad to hear it. So your family won't mind if Centratama Group wins, right?"Selena's smile almost faded, but she forced herself to keep smiling. Her fingers gripped Dave's jacket sleeve tighter."Dave, we were married once. Shouldn't we support each other?" Selena said softly, her eyes looking at Dave with a gaze t
