She swiftly gave Calypso a kick in the back, making her lose her balance and hurtle toward the ground. However, Beatrice was still holding on to her, so half of her body was on the ground while the other half was in the air.Then, two things fell out of her pocket, attracting everyone's attention.Lorenzo had been watching Calypso. He still had some questions for her, and he frowned when he saw the things that had fallen out of her pockets. He walked over to her and picked them up, an ugly look creeping onto his face when he realized what they were.Beatrice felt it'd been a while since she'd seen Lorenzo like this. She wanted to see what he was holding but couldn't because she was still pinning Calypso down. She couldn't afford to let her guard down around such a cunning woman.Fortunately, Lorenzo showed her what the things were. "This is surveillance equipment. Everything that happened earlier has already been sent to someone."Beatric

Beatrice had dropped Edmund and Bianca off someplace safe earlier. Once she left, the two found a coffee shop nearby, taking shelter until the dust settled with Lorenzo and the Byers Group.They sat down, but before they could order any drinks, they heard some people whispering from the table next to theirs."Oh my god, why would anyone upload this kind of video online? Tsk! My eyes hurt from watching it..." a guy said while shaking his head at his phone.The second person eagerly looked at the phone and exclaimed, "Maybe it's because the two people in that video are very famous! That guy's Lorenzo, the top dog at Kingston University. What's even more shocking is he used to be the poorest student there. It's just that he somehow became rich overnight."Upon hearing that, the first guy's jaw fell wide open."Woah," he replied, "I didn't know that. Well, what about the girl in the video? She looks pretty. Although, nothing about her seems r

"You're a child, so I don't want to aim my firearm at you. Consider this your last chance to lower your gun," Edmund commented with a neutral tone as he stood composedly. However, Maurice saw the former's calmness as fear. He retracted his gun, casually leaning it against his shoulder while jutting his chin. He sat in his car, shutting the car door while mocking Edmund through the open window, "Don't you think the way you're speaking to me is counterproductive to what you want me to do?" Edmund remained unmoving but had already narrowed his eyes. No one could tell how he felt since he spoke emotionlessly the entire time. "I'm curious-what do you mean by that? I'd like to know what you think my motives are." Maurice's eyes widened. He wanted to know whether Edmund was genuinely curious or if the latter was trying to embarrass him. His face then warped hideously compared to everyone else's when he could not decipher Edmund's facial expression. He was both desperate and determined t

Austin lay on the ground, watching as Lorenzo fell deep into thought. He could not help smugly raising his chin, saying, "Oh? Are you afraid now that you've heard my name? Let me tell you this—it’s too late to beg for my forgiveness now! Because, as the Veyron family's only heir, I won't let you off the hook easily!" He simultaneously gripped Lorenzo's foot, trying to push it off his chest. However, he soon clenched his jaw and narrowed his brows into a deep V when he failed to make Lorenzo budge. The latter's foot stayed unmoving on his body like a massive boulder, and he could not do anything about it. Having depleted his strength, he stopped resisting. His arms sprawled on the ground as he gritted his teeth. "I'm warning you! Get your foot off me now and kneel to prove your gratitude toward me for sparing you! Because in two days, I might become Veyron Group's chairman! I promise that you would've gotten shot to death if you had crossed me after I inherited my family's business

Austin was still on the ground, his eyes glassy with fear. Edmund had guessed every word he intended to say. However, the way Edmund said those words made them sound less threatening."Unless... he and that other guy earlier were never afraid of my family in the first place," Austin thought. Realizing that, he quickly turned to look at Lorenzo, who now sat in the car.He continued to ponder, "This man owns the latest gun model, which comes with a hefty price tag. It's enough to purchase at least a quarter of Veyron Group's shares! If I hadn't accidentally seen the gun earlier, I wouldn't have realized it was such an expensive model!"He then propped himself off the ground, sitting upright while still trembling. Throughout the process, he cautiously eyed Edmund. He knew Edmund was a skilled fighter and was worried the latter would stop him from trying to talk to Lorenzo.If that were to happen, he would never get the chance to see Lorenzo again. Fortunately, things went smoothly; Austi
