“Mr. Byers! There is trouble!” Bianca yelled anxiously from the other end of the phone the moment Lorenzo Byers answered the call.Lorenzo frowned at Bianca's anxious tone. Since he had known Bianca, she had always remained composed no matter the situation. Now that she sounded this anxious, he could tell that the matter wasn't simple.“Bianca, calm down and talk to me. What is going on?” Lorenzo asked steadily.Bianca took a deep breath and exhaled before speaking slowly. As she spoke, the frown on Lorenzo's face deepened. By the time she finished, a heavy frown had settled on his handsome face.“Okay. I understand. Thank you,” Lorenzo said before abruptly ending the call.He walked over to his bedside table, picked up the television remote, and switched on the TV.“And coming up next is news concerning the chairman of the fast-rising investment company in Capital City, Zenith Holdings Int'l.”The television station was one of the largest news channels in the country, boasting millio

Meanwhile, Lorenzo was already speeding towards Lumencrest General Hospital. Naturally, he had no idea about his grandfather's plans. His thoughts were totally occupied with the old man's death. After minutes of driving speedily, Lorenzo arrived at the hospital. He parked the car neatly and then rushed to the old man's room, without paying any attention to anybody. When he opened the door, Dr. Nathan Hale was already waiting for his arrival with an expectant expression on his face. “Mr. Byers.” Dr. Nathan Hale called out carefully. Lorenzo ignored him and walked straight to the old man's lifeless body on the bed. Lorenzo didn't say anything and stared at the old man's body with a complicated expression on his face. Lorenzo's back was turned to Dr. Nathan Hale, so he couldn't see the expression on Lorenzo's face. The two of them maintained a period of silence for over five minutes, before Lorenzo finally spoke up. “What happened exactly? Wasn't his condition stabilized already?”

[Zenith Holdings Int'l Headquarters, Aurelia City] The atmosphere in the company's regal building was dull and tense. The workers were all moving about their daily activities with gloomy and forlorn expressions, unlike the usual bustling attitude they had previously. The employees were not to be blamed, however, as they had already seen the negative news about the chairman of their company. They were seasoned employees, so they knew how detrimental the effects of such news could be to their company. The higher-ups, such as Bianca and Marcus Cole, were more depressed at the situation at hand. The company was still a very new one, so they were feeling aggrieved about the current turn of events. If their chairman was unable to resolve this issue, then it would be a huge setback in their already laid-out plans. The news had been embellished greatly by the media, so it had succeeded in creating a false impression about the chairman of Zenith Holdings Int'l. The public didn't know

Bianca and Marcus Cole both felt chills run down their spines as they looked at Lorenzo, who had a smile on his face. Although he was smiling, his gaze was extremely frightening. “Marcus, bring me the list of companies that backed out from the projects we're supposed to invest in,” Lorenzo suddenly said. Marcus jolted from his thoughts in shock before hurrying away to obey Lorenzo's instructions. Seconds later, Marcus returned with a pile of documents in his hands, which he then carefully handed over to Lorenzo. Lorenzo collected the documents and read through them, and just minutes later, he gave his verdict. “RemoveOrion Global and Crestmont Corporation, Venus Inc. from our company's database.” Lorenzo issued an unexpected command. “From now on, Zenith Holdings Int'l will not have or entertain any form of business with these three companies.” Lorenzo concluded with a tone of finality. Both Bianca and Marcus Cole looked at Lorenzo in astonishment. They didn't ex

[Kingswell Enterprises, Aurelia City] The Chairman's Office; 10:00 AM A man in his late fifties sat behind a large mahogany desk in what appeared to be a slightly above-average office. He had a bald head, beady eyes that appeared shrewd, and an average face. The mahogany desk was littered with numerous documents, and the man was busy scribbling on them. Suddenly, the door to his office opened abruptly, and an equally average-looking man rushed into the office in a panicked manner. Raymond Kingswell, the current chairman of Kingswell Enterprises, looked at the man in distaste. The man was, of course, his secretary, and his sudden entrance irked him greatly, as it interrupted his concentration. Just as he was about to rebuke his secretary, a loud voice cut him off. “There's big trouble, President Raymond!” the secretary shouted frightfully. Raymond frowned slightly at his secretary's words and forced his reprimand down his throat. “What is it?” Raymond asked, his tone dripping

“Kingswell Enterprises is being investigated for tax evasion worth over $150 million.” Raymond’s face turned pale at the headline displayed on the TV station. His eyes widened in shock at the news. Tax evasion! This was why the banks and loan companies had suddenly demanded that he repay his loans within twenty-four hours! “You’re completely incompetent, Mr. Kingswell.” The bigwig said, displeasure lacing his tone. “I can explain!” Raymond said frantically, but the bigwig cut him short. “It was a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Kingswell. Sadly, our deal is off now.” The bigwig announced in a tone of finality before abruptly disconnecting the call. Raymond stared at the phone in disbelief. The next minute, he dialed the bigwig’s number. It rang only once before disconnecting again. When Raymond tried calling a second time, the call failed to connect. He didn’t have to be a genius to realize he had been blocked. “F*ck!” Raymond yelled angrily and sw

Chapter 122[Zenith Holdings Int’l]Lorenzo’s eyes gleamed when he heard Raymond’s answer.The Titancrest Group!Lorenzo had never expected that the person behind everything was the head of the Titancrest Group.“I see.”Lorenzo replied calmly despite the shock he felt.“I’ve told you what you wanted to know now. I hope you’ll fulfill your promise.”Raymond said through gritted teeth from the other end of the line.“Rest assured. I’ll keep my end of the deal.”Lorenzo replied with a faint smile before ending the call.After disconnecting, Lorenzo interlocked his fingers and rested his chin on them as he fell into deep thought.The Titancrest Group was the third-largest business group in Capital City, boasting a net worth worth billions of dollars.Of course, the Byers Group could crush them effortlessly, but Lorenzo had never considered using that option.The Titancrest Group had targeted Zenith Holdings Int’l, not the Reid Consortium.Therefore, he intended to fight them using Zenith

The next few days were straightforward for Lorenzo. When he got back to the Byers Mansion that day, he related the basics of what happened to Derek, but didn’t go into much detail. He then took a well-deserved rest. He had been so incredibly busy, as the meeting with Christian Caldwell, the assassination incident that took Christian’s bodyguard’s life, the accident with the old man, and the attack on Zenith holdings Int’l all happened in less than 48 hours. Lorenzo was not a machine, so it was only normal that he would be extremely exhausted after dealing with such issues. Since his grandfather was not coming back until two weeks later, Lorenzo felt that there was no need waiting for his arrival, especially with his busy schedule; the Byers Corporation would not run by itself. Hence, he took the initiative to leave the Byers Mansion. At most, he promised to return to the mansion when his grandfather was back from his business trip. Lorenzo then left the Byers Mansion and went ba

My name is Scarlett Monroe." As soon as the words left her mouth, Lorenzo looked at her in shock before quickly masking his reaction. She was ranked as the second most beautiful woman on campus. Nevertheless, even though it lasted only a few seconds, Scarlett Monroe noticed his reaction and felt pleased by it. That brief instant was enough for her to know that Lorenzo was surprised by her identity. It meant that he knew who she was. “Are you not going to offer me a seat, Lorenzo?” Scarlett said playfully. Her words jolted Lorenzo from his thoughts, and he gestured toward an empty chair before taking his own seat. Lorenzo looked at Scarlett expressionlessly, but his mind was in turmoil at the moment. He had no idea why Scarlett Monroe, the second-ranked beauty in Kingston University, had approached him. Lorenzo had been incredibly poor just a few months ago, so even though he often heard stories and gossip about the top ten campus beauties, he never had the opportunity to

“Excuse me?” scarlet asked in a voice devoid of any emotion, but Enzo could tell that she was annoyed at the moment. “You heard me you bitch!” The young man replied harshly in anger. He was already in a worse mood after his plan to get in bed with the lady he liked fell through, and was already looking for an outlet to vent his anger. Hence, he wouldn’t let the chance that he deemed heaven sent slip from his fingers. Enzo frowned at the young man’s choice of words, and took a closer look at the man. Enzo was now an awakened martial artist, so this meant that his mind power was now above the normal person; therefore he easily remembered the young man as the one who was in an argument with a female close to an hour ago. He could tell because the voice was extremely familiar. If Scarlet was merely annoyed before, this time she was truly infuriated. Bitch? It had been ages since someone dared use such a derogatory word to describe her. “Watch your words. It was merely a s
