Almost instinctively, Cassian wanted to deny this. He'd already opened his mouth to speak, but Lorenzo beat him to it. "Look, there's no need for you two to act this way because Calypso won't make it out of this alive. I won't allow someone who's plotted against me repeatedly and wants to use me to achieve her hidden agenda to remain in this world." His tone was devoid of warmth. Cassian frowned, feeling slightly anxious, but he didn't dare to do anything too out of place because of Lorenzo's abilities. He took a deep breath before saying seriously, "I can apologize to you on her behalf." Before he could continue, Calypso cut him off shrilly. "Cassian Veyron, that's enough! I don't need you to put up such an act in front of me. Anyway, it's obvious that you two have your own issues to work out, so stop dragging me into your mess!" Cassian was shocked at her words, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that once there was a misunderstanding between two people, it wouldn't

Cassian looked at the ground and said seriously, "Even if I've offended you, I hope this won't affect your relationship with Clara. She's very innocent, and even if she occasionally does things that are hard to fathom, it's only because she doesn't know it's wrong. Her mother left when she was very young, and none of us taught her about these things. That's why she's so naive. So, please blame me for everything she's done wrong."After saying these things, Cassian seemed to regain his strength. He raised his head and looked at Lorenzo, continuing, "I know you're a kind and reasonable man."When he met Cassian's eyes, Lorenzo couldn't bring himself to shake his head, but he didn't want to let Cassian off the hook so easily. After a few seconds, he came up with the perfect response—he shrugged, then looked away and focused on Holt, who'd been waiting for him with his arms crossed.When he met Lorenzo's eyes, he put his arms down, his gaze mocking. "Are you ready to fight me?" He sized L

Clara said crisply, "If that's the case, I don't want you to get into a fight with Lorenzo, nor do I want you to apologize to him."Cassian's eye twitched. He pursed his lips, eventually tapping her on the head without saying anything.Clara continued to look at him. She couldn't tell whether Cassian had agreed to her request. As she thought about this, Cassian walked over to Lorenzo. She watched him expectantly, but it quickly turned into disappointment because Cassian didn't do as she'd hoped.He sighed softly, then said, "Look at how innocent she's always been. It's all because of me..." He didn't get the chance to finish his sentence because Clara interrupted him. She stood between the two of them with her back to Cassian, and he frowned, about to reprimand her.However, he couldn't bring himself to do it because he knew that she was just worried about him.Clara looked up at Lorenzo and took in his confused expression. She smiled and

Lorenzo didn't allow them to ask more questions after saying that. He looked at Calypso's waist and said calmly, "You have a blade tucked into your waistband now, don't you? You must've put in a lot of effort to pick it up amidst the chaos earlier." Calypso paled, not expecting Lorenzo to know about this. Earlier, when she was doing this, she'd kept an eye on Lorenzo to ensure he wasn't paying attention to her. She stiffened, at a loss for what to do. Cassian Veyron suddenly looked up at Lorenzo with a resolute gaze. "Lorenzo, I'm sure there's a misunderstanding somewhere. Calypso might've made many wrong choices, but I'm positive she wouldn't stab someone." Lorenzo opened his mouth, then shut it again and massaged his temples. "I don't think there's anything further to discuss. If you have something to say about this, I don't mind dealing with the both of you together." Everyone's expression changed at his words. Calypso looked expectant, and Clara looked worried, but Cassian Vey

Clara had been prepared to give up her whole inheritance to help Lorenzo, but it now seemed like things between Lorenzo and Richard were completely different from what she'd originally thought.She stood there and looked at Richard curiously, thinking that Lorenzo and Richard must've reached an agreement. Perhaps Lorenzo was a shareholder of the Graves Group.As she tried to puzzle things out, Richard closed his eyes and sighed, looking upset. He couldn't bring himself to admit this, and he had to say it aloud in front of so many people. It was a huge insult to him, but he knew that this was exactly what Lorenzo wanted.Lorenzo knew that he hadn't transferred the shares willingly, so he wanted to use this as a way to make him concede and yield to him-it was written all over Lorenzo's face.Richard couldn't help but gnash his teeth at this thought. He hated that he was aware of all this but unable to change anything. He clenched his fists tightly a
