Diego leaned back slightly, but his gaze remained intense, locking onto Brian's every movement, as if he were trying to read the young man's mind.There was a clear suspicion in his eyes, especially after Brian mentioned a name that shouldn't be known to just anyone."Are you testing me? What do you know about me?" Diego asked in a lower, yet more threatening tone.Brian didn't answer immediately. He remained calm, his shoulders back, as if he wasn't under any pressure. However, deep down, he knew the situation was extremely dangerous. One small mistake could ruin his entire plan, possibly even endanger his life."Nothing," Brian finally replied calmly. "Do I look like someone who's lying?"His tone was even, neither high nor low, but that was precisely where his strength lay. Brian himself was surprised, as this was the first time he'd encountered someone like Diego, who clearly possessed such influence and a pressuring aura.But for some reason, he didn't feel excessive fear. Instea

Brian maintained a faint smile, even though the atmosphere in the room felt incredibly tense after his statement.Mr. Thomas's hand, which he had just held, still felt warm, as if a sign that the agreement had truly been reached, even though it was fraught with uncertainty and hidden interests from each party."Hopefully, this collaboration won't be detrimental to us," Brian said in a calm tone, yet filled with implicit pressure."Of course," Mr. Thomas replied quickly, almost too quickly, as if afraid the opportunity would be lost if he hesitated even a little.That evening's meeting ultimately ended on a less-than-comfortable note. While it appeared to be a business deal, each person in the room was actually harboring their own thoughts and plans.Brian had successfully thwarted the wedding plans that night, and at least given Lyna a year to breathe.However, when Mr. Diego rose from his chair, his face still showing dissatisfaction, Brian immediately raised his hand, signaling for

"Who are you?" a deep voice echoed through the room, shattering the previously tense atmosphere of serious whispers and concerned stares.Everyone present seemed surprised to see someone enter unannounced, especially during such an important discussion.Several pairs of eyes immediately focused on the young man standing tall in the doorway, dressed immaculately with an air of confidence unusual for his age."My name is Brian, CEO of Aztech Company," Brian said loudly and firmly, without a hint of hesitation in his voice.Although his face looked young, even too young for the position he claimed, the way he stood, the way he looked at each person in the room, and the calmness he radiated made it difficult for anyone to underestimate him.The authority he carried wasn't feigned; it felt real, as if he were truly used to being in the position.The two people who had been engaged in a serious conversation now exchanged glances, then furrowed their brows, trying to discern who this uninvit

"The police station isn't always a place for the guilty," Emily said casually, a faint smile spreading as she glanced at Lyna through the rearview mirror.Her tone was light, but there was a firmness that couldn't be ignored.Lyna, sitting in the back seat, seemed increasingly anxious. She gripped the hem of her shirt tightly, trying to calm herself, which had been filled with fear. "But what can I do there?" she asked in a slightly stuttering voice, clearly not fully understanding the meaning of the suggestion."Yes, take shelter," Emily answered without hesitation, as if it were the most logical thing. "Brian also said you need a place to take shelter, right? If you rely solely on Brian, you're not necessarily safe. Besides, he himself doesn't necessarily have a safe enough place to hide you."Those words made Lyna pause. She slowly looked at Brian through the gap between the front seats, her eyes hopeful, as if waiting for an answer that would give her some comfort. But Brian remai

“Where are your parents?” Brian asked then, trying to dig deeper so he could understand the gravity of the situation the girl was facing.“At home,” Lyna replied quietly, her voice still holding lingering anxiety. “Tonight they’re having a meeting with that person and several other parties to discuss the wedding.”Brian nodded slowly, trying to connect the pieces of information he’d gathered. “A meeting to make sure everything is going according to plan?” he asked again, confirming it.“Yes,” Lyna replied quickly. “This is my last chance to escape. If I go back home now, I’m sure they won’t let me out again. I’ll probably even be under heavy surveillance until the wedding day.”Lyna’s tone was growing increasingly panicked, making Brian realize how short their time was. However, even so, he couldn’t make a rash decision without careful consideration.“Let’s wait for my master first, okay?” Brian finally said calmly, trying to calm the situation.The words made Lyna’s eyes widen, and h

"What's wrong?" Brian asked after opening his car window slightly, staring at the woman standing outside with a look of hope yet a hint of doubt evident in her eyes.The woman seemed hesitant to speak, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but her voice caught in her throat. She clutched the hem of her shirt nervously, her gaze darting around, as if afraid someone might notice her."I…" she said softly, but the sentence trailed off."Just tell me, what's wrong?" Brian urged in a softer tone, trying to reassure her enough to speak. He then opened his car door and moved slightly, making room for her to enter.Without further thought, she quickly got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, as if afraid she would lose the opportunity if she hesitated too long.Brian closed the car door again and studied the woman closely. Her face was familiar, as the typical student on this campus, but he was certain he had never truly met her before."I'm Lyna," the woman finally said,
