Wayne and his friends were going insane. They were getting brutally beaten while Cal ate as if nothing were happening.

Were they still brothers? Could they even be friends after this?

Wayne and Chris were about to cry from frustration.

"Hmm?"

"Wait, who's Brother Cal?"

"Could they have more reinforcements?"

Wesley and his men looked confused and glanced around.

Even his subordinates stopped moving, obviously afraid of being ambushed by Wayne's backup.

Into that momentary silence walked a beautiful, innocent-looking girl.

It was none other than Rain, who'd just returned from the bathroom.

Rain was undoubtedly panicked at this point. In just the time it took to visit the bathroom, everything had gone wrong.

Wayne and his friends were lying on the ground, Serena and her companions were nowhere to be seen—only big men with weapons remained.

"Brother Wu, it's her!"

"She's with the two girls who ran away earlier."

Billy recognized Rain at a glance.

Wesley was delighted. He'd been furious th

Serena laughed, the sound hollow. "What does he have to understand? He's just a poor boy from the countryside. No background, no sophistication. If you asked him how much my car is worth, he'd probably guess 'tens of thousands.'"She remembered the day Cal first rode in her car, his wide-eyed amazement as he asked if it cost that much. Looking back now, it was almost funny."Hmm?" Serena's gaze sharpened, turning to her friend. "Rain, I've noticed you've been asking about Cal a lot lately. Don't tell me you've been taken in by his simple act."She leaned in, her tone turning serious. "Let me warn you, don't be foolish. If you pity him, give him some money. But don't get involved. We may not need to marry up, but we should at least find someone on our level. Cal might have a decent character, but he's clearly not husband material for me. And he's even less suitable for you."Since Rain had invited Cal to dinner, a nagging worry had settled in Serena's mind."Exactly," Grace chimed in,

On the other side of town, after finding Serena, her friends didn't take her straight home. Instead, they went to a bar.Inside, Serena drank without stopping."Serena, slow down," Grace said softly, trying to take the glass from her hand.Serena just grabbed another and kept going."Hey…" Grace sighed, turning to her brother. "Grant, any leads? We need to find a way to help her."Grant had been on the phone all evening, working his contacts. He finally hung up and shook his head helplessly."There's no opening. This Entrepreneur Conference is high-level. The attendee list was personally approved by Mayor Thomas Lancaster. Getting someone added at this stage… it's nearly impossible.""Unless," he added, "we can get a direct line to the mayor himself."At that, Grace's gaze shifted to the quiet woman beside her.Rain knew exactly what that look meant."Grace, it's not that I won't help," Rain said, her voice tight. "Mayor Lancaster is a principled man. Yes, he was my grandfather's stud

Riverton, Lakeview Estates.The entire district was built along the lakeshore, a sprawling complex of antique-style architecture surrounded by beautiful mountains and water. It was a place where modern luxury met imperial grandeur, an unmatched level of opulence in the entire Pacific Northwest Region.And Morgan's residence was right in the heart of it."City people really know how to enjoy themselves," Cal mused, looking around. "I thought the Whitmore villa was the peak. Compared to the General's place, theirs is a doghouse."He'd never been to her home before and was genuinely impressed by the palace-like villa. Morgan, however, ignored his provincial awe and got straight to the point."You'll be staying here with me for the next few days. Tomorrow, I'll take some time to buy you a suit. Even if this is just an act, I won't have the man by my side dressed in rags.""As for your mother, she should arrive in Riverton tomorrow without issue. Her schedule is busy after arrival, so I've

Making this call went against Cal's every instinct.But he was out of options. That old man still owed him a favor.Even though Serena's grandfather was gone, Cal couldn't just stand by and let her cry herself to death at his graveside.So, reluctantly, he found himself bargaining with Morgan.---"Are you... actually agreeing?" Morgan's voice crackled through the phone.She'd been fully prepared to drag him there by force if necessary—tie him up and haul him over. His sudden change of heart left her genuinely shocked. She could hardly believe what she was hearing."Mhm," Cal grunted, his reluctance palpable. "But there are conditions. You help me first.""No problem. Where are you now? I'll come to you—we'll talk in person." Fearful he'd back out, Morgan pressed for an immediate meeting.Cal gave her his location. Soon, Morgan ordered Tanner to drive her over."General, what's the situation? A fugitive sighting?" Tanner asked from the driver's seat, confused by her urgency."It's Cal

At this moment, almost all the employees of the company stood by the window, looking down. A lonely figure held a storage box, walking out of the company. It was drizzling in the sky of Riverton. The autumn breeze was bone-chilling. However, that figure did not hold an umbrella and walked alone into the rain."Brother Cal, think of a way.""Help Ms. Whitmore!"Wayne and the others watched this scene, feeling pity in their hearts, and couldn't help but ask Cal for help.Cal was playing computer games at his desk: "How can I help?""I kindly reminded her, but that woman didn't take it to heart.""Now that things have come to this, what do you expect me to do?"Talking about this matter made Cal angry. He had advised Serena many times, but this stubborn woman never listened and only wanted to show off at the Entrepreneur Conference. Did she ever think about how long and deep the relationship between the Whitmore family and the Blake family was? Why should they help her so much?"Brother

"Mr. Blake, you...you..."Shane and his daughter were already in a panic.They stared at Harrison in disbelief. They probably never dreamed that Harrison would say such words."Mr. Blake, you must be mistaken.""This admission ticket was clearly given to us by you.""You said that you helped us get this opportunity..." Serena was still trying to explain.But Harrison was already tired of talking to them. He took back his own admission ticket and turned to leave.As for the matter of Shane and his daughter stealing the admission ticket, someone else would naturally be responsible for resolving it."Mr. Blake, please don't go. Can you help us explain..." Serena was still shouting.But the staff of the venue had already surrounded them."Are you going to leave on your own, or do you want us to take action?" Manager Xu's eyes were cold as he asked."There must be a misunderstanding. Let us go see Mr. Blake and explain it to him in person," Shane pleaded, unwilling to leave like this.But
