Daisy unleashed a piercing scream from the other end of the call. "Why? Why would you call the police over such a minor issue? What a waste of money! Plus, have you forgotten that we once worked together? I'm confident we'll continue to see each other often for the same reasons."She tightly clutched her chest and put on a tearful expression while saying that. Unfortunately, she forgot that Lorenzo could not see her since they were on the phone."What you're saying now makes no sense," Lorenzo coldly stated. "Nothing special has ever resulted from our meetings. Plus, your appearance back then always annoyed me. You also seem to have forgotten that we're on a voice call now, not a video call."He briskly hung up and returned his phone to his pocket after that. Placing his hands on his hips, he frowned while scanning every inch of the area ahead, suspecting Daisy had likely hacked into the security cameras to spy on him. It made him very uncomfortable.Next to him, Beatrice noticed his

Lorenzo exhaled bitterly, adding, "That's something I'll change once I return to the company. Still, before we do that, you should rest up since you'll need your full health to help me settle things when we get back to Zenith Holdings Int'l. After all, you haven't been there before, so working there will take a toll on you. The only difference about Zenith Holdings Int'l is nobody will dare harm you under my watch. You're safe there, which makes it better than this place." "Yeah. No one would dare harm me at Zenith Holdings Int'l because you own the company. It's your turf," replied Beatrice, who smiled and nodded with the utmost conviction. That complete trust in Lorenzo made his heart skip a beat just then. Once he realized his erratic heartbeat, the corners of his eyes creased into a curious stare at Beatrice. Then, he turned away and shook his head. "You should know I'm not implying anything improper between us." Beatri

"We're warning you—leave at once! Otherwise, we'll have the police deal with you!" the security guards bellowed."I look forward to when that day comes." Lorenzo merely smiled at them and shoved one of the security guards aside by the collar.That was when the elevator doors opened. Many people inside wanted to get out, but they could sense the overwhelming tension outside once the doors cracked open, so they dared not move.Lorenzo's gaze swept past them, and just as everyone inside was still tremblingly fleeing the elevator, his attention returned to the security guards."Someone from this place told me to come over. Thus, I ask that you let me see him now, or I can't guarantee whether you'll end up obliterated like that security gate earlier. FT TV has committed a heinous crime—they've reported several pieces of fake news and distorted the truth. Because of that, my patience for your television network has reached its limit." He spoke calmly bu

lorenzo added, "Since the two of you called me over, I think it's only fair that you both face me in dealing with the issue."The director shot up from the couch. His belly rolls bounced like jelly as he dashed toward the door. It took him less than a second to do so.Daisy saw everything happen, her eyes rounding with interest for the humorous scene. She knew the director had recently gained a lot of weight, so he never made any explosive movements. That was the first time Daisy saw him doing that.When the director finally arrived at the door, he placed one hand on his waist while hunching over and panting. His breathing was so fast that anyone would have worried he would pass out in the next second.Standing aside, Daisy lowered her head, but it was not out of worry; she did so to hide her smile. After all, Lorenzo had already opened the door, so he and the director were awkwardly staring each other down.Daisy kept her head low and pursed her lips tautly, suppressing her laughter.

Lorenzo could not even guarantee that the idiotic director could understand what he had to say, so he remained silent. Yet, he was shocked that the director viewed his silence as a sign of defeat.The director saw it as confirmation that Lorenzo was wearing a fake. Hence, he jutted his chin at Lorenzo with the utmost arrogance and spoke even louder than before. "Why aren't you responding? Is it because I've guessed correctly, and you're now afraid?"Lorenzo did not want to waste another breath explaining things to the director anymore, so he merely approached the latter to emphasize, "I'm a cantankerous man, which I believe you've heard from others in the past few days. However, what shocks me is that you insist on upsetting me."As he shook his head, he cracked his knuckles, letting out a crisp and chilling sound.Upon hearing that, the director's knees gave in. He plopped onto the ground while locking eyes with Lorenzo and gulping nervously. He dared not speak anymore as he could te
