"Honey, they have no idea that danger is quietly approaching," Emma said with a mischievous grin."Just wait and see how I handle them. I'm going to make Justin lose face in front of everyone!" Daniel replied, lifting his chin slightly.The two exchanged glances, smirked confidently, and strode straight toward Justin.Justin sat there, looking bored. Daniel smiled at him and said, "Justin, the birthday party hasn't started yet, and sitting around like this is dull. How about we play a game to liven things up? What do you think?"Audrey shot the two of them a look of disgust.Whenever these two showed up, trouble always followed. They were full of schemes and never did anything decent. Ever since she'd known them, she couldn't recall them doing a single good deed. As people often said, they were rotten to the core.Justin glanced at them, his expression unreadable, and squinted slightly. "Oh, so you two want to play a game, huh?""What's the matter?

Smack! Everyone was expecting a big card, but instead, a measly five appeared before their eyes.When Justin saw the card clearly, his eyes narrowed into slits. 'A five?' He couldn't believe it."A five? Hold on, let me laugh for a bit...""Oh my goodness, a five? Just take it off yourself and stop wasting our time!""Justin, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Are you waiting for a three or a four to show up?"The group burst into laughter, mocking him relentlessly.Audrey, seeing Justin being ridiculed for drawing a five, was a little annoyed. She glared at the crowd and said, "What's wrong with a five? Can't a five beat a two, a three, or even a four?""It's too early to take anything off now. After all, the game isn't over yet. If I lose, it has to be in a way that's convincing, right?" Justin said calmly, a faint smile on his face as he maintained his composure."Exactly. How can you all act like this? So immature!" Daniel chi

"We won't! Please trust us!" Daniel said confidently.Owen didn't have a better idea, so he reluctantly went along with the plan for now. As long as it could embarrass Justin, that was enough. He absolutely couldn't let Justin feel proud. Just thinking about how Justin had been chatting and laughing with Audrey earlier made Owen's chest tighten with frustration. He wanted nothing more than to strangle Justin with his bare hands to vent his anger.'You're a nobody, and you think you can compete with me for a woman? Who do you think you are?' Owen sneered inwardly."Exactly, Mr. Longman. Justin is nothing but an ex-convict. He's no match for you!" Emma said, her tone dripping with flattery."Yeah, Mr. Longman. He's just a nobody, not worth mentioning. This time, we'll definitely teach him a lesson!" Daniel added, his voice equally obsequious.Owen's anger subsided slightly. Instead, he spoke in a calmer tone, "Alright, I'll give you one more chance. But if you

Other people thought the same. 'There's no way Justin dare act recklessly in Mr. Longman's venue!'Justin didn't even glance at the group of bodyguards. To him, they weren't worth his attention. He didn't feel like wasting a single look on them.Daniel squinted suspiciously. He wondered if mentioning Owen had intimidated Justin. If that were the case, dealing with Justin would be a piece of cake. Daniel thought smugly, 'Justin, you'll have to do whatever I ask!'Full of arrogance and condescension, Daniel declared, "Justin, lick my shoes, and I'll spare your life!"After saying this, he scanned the crowd as if announcing to everyone that Justin had no choice but to obey. But he was overthinking it. Justin completely ignored him. Daniel was left embarrassed. After all, he was the son of a senator, known by many. If he were treated like this, he couldn't maintain his reputation in their social circle. He had to save face."Justin, don't be so ungrateful. Do as

Mandy's crying sound came through the phone, her voice trembling as if she had been bullied.Justin frowned. "Mandy, did someone bully you?" he asked, his tone serious."Justin, help me! Sarah and Carlos... they've locked me up," Mandy said, her voice full of grievance and fear.Justin's face immediately darkened. He hadn't expected that Sarah and Carlos hadn't invited Mandy to dinner to reconcile but were instead planning revenge. This revelation left him furious.These people had previously teamed up with Daniel to go against him, but out of consideration for Mandy's plea, he had let them off once. Yet it seemed that his leniency had only emboldened them. Now they were targeting Mandy. He couldn't let them get away with this."Don't cry. Send me your location, and I'll come over right now," Justin said grimly."I'm in the restroom at Grandview Chalice. They're outside watching me. Ah—"Before Mandy could finish or send her location, a sudde
