Waste Them.
Lorenzo leaned casually against the doorframe, sweeping a stray speck of dust off his cuff as Romeo’s wild tirade echoed through the open entryway."Destroyed?" Lorenzo echoed, his dark eyes meeting Romeo’s furious glare with absolute amusement. "I never said I accepted your little proposal, Mr. Salvador. I merely asked how a man of your modest stature could guarantee such a position. The rest was entirely your own delusional wishful thinking."Romeo’s face went from an angry crimson to a deep purple. The veins on his temples bulged as he realized he had been completely played—paraded like a dancing fool on speakerphone in front of Vivian and her friend."You...you penniless, arrogant bastard!" Romeo snarled, his voice cracking with pure rage. The slick composure he had spent months cultivating tore away completely, exposing the ruthless, unhinged bully beneath. "I tried to give you a way out! I offered you a million-yuan lifespan, and you spat in my face!"Romeo snapped his fingers v

On the other end of the line, Director Garrick hesitated. The raspy voice sounded slightly displeased."Romeo...you know the corporate compliance board has been tightening security audits lately. Bringing in an unscreened ghost employee on a high-tier executive payroll isn't as simple as it used to be. I'd need to think about it. I can't just toss company money around without a proper paper trail."Seeing the director stall, Romeo immediately leaned into the phone, his tone eager and pressing."Director Garrick, please, consider my sincerity!" Romeo urged, shooting Lorenzo a smug, meaningful glance. "I promise you, sir, you won't be shortchanged on this. Remember the supply chain logistics contract we routed through your subsidiary last quarter? Haven't my family's former cooperations with Vanguard Apex shown more than enough sincerity?"There was a brief pause on the line, followed by the sound of Director Garrick chuckling softly, his tone warming up significantly."Ah...yes. The lo

Lorenzo paused. He leaned his shoulder casually against the doorframe, his face shifting into an expression of slight hesitation, as if he were genuinely weighing the massive offer in his mind.Romeo’s smile widened into a victorious grin. "What's the matter? Overwhelmed? Come on, Lorenzo, think about it! You were kicked out of your family with nothing to your name. Wouldn't a cushy job where you can just eat, drink, and have fun without doing a single hour of real work be absolute paradise for a disgraced dog like you?"From the sofa behind them, Maya’s eyes widened in sheer disbelief as she watched Lorenzo’s hesitant posture."Are you serious?!" Maya yelled, her temper flaring as she pushed herself up against the cushions, pointing a finger at Lorenzo's back. "You're actually hesitating?! A million yuan and you're ready to sell out?! I knew it! I knew you were just a greedy, mercenary bastard putting on a show! You're going to take his money and run!"Vivian immediately reached over
One-million Yuan Offer.
"What gives you the right to pry into who is inside this house?" Maya snapped, her voice cutting through the doorway like a whip.She leaned heavily against the frame to keep her weight off her throbbing ankle, her dark eyes flashing with pure annoyance. "You're a neighbor, Salvador, not the property manager, and certainly not Vivian's warden. Mind your own business and get off the porch."Vivian’s expression turned equally frigid, her porcelain face setting into a mask of complete detachment. "My home is not open to your cross-examination, Romeo. Who comes into my living room is none of your concern. Leave."Romeo didn't back down. The sight of that jacket resting so comfortably on the leather couch had shattered his slick facade, laying bare the ugly, possessive obsession underneath.His knuckles turned white around the stems of the crimson roses as he tried to peer further past Vivian's shoulder."I'm not going anywhere until I see who's hiding in there," Romeo snarled, his tone dr
Obsessive Pursuer.
Before Lorenzo could offer another dry remark, the melodic, electronic chime of the front door chime echoed through the spacious foyer.DING-DONG.Vivian blinked, looking toward the main entrance in surprise. "Who could that be? I told the staff not to come in today...""Stay here," Lorenzo said, his posture instantly sharpening as his eyes darted toward the security monitor.He glanced at the screen feed by the door. Standing on the marble porch outside was a tall, sleekly dressed young man wearing a custom-tailored burgundy blazer, holding a massive, obnoxious bouquet of ninety-nine dark crimson roses.Lorenzo relaxed his stance slightly, though his eyes remained cool. "It's not a threat. At least, not a tactical one.""Oh no," Vivian sighed, her expression instantly darkening into one of deep, cold exhaustion. "It's Romeo."Romeo Salvador—the heir to the Salvador Real Estate Empire, and a notoriously arrogant, persistent pursuer who had been shadowing Vivian’s every move for months
He Started It.
The ride back to the hillside villa was quiet, broken only by the low rumble of the sedan’s engine as Lorenzo navigated the winding mountain roads. Vivian sat in the backseat, her hand resting gently on Maya’s shoulder, while Maya sat in the passenger seat wrapped tightly in Lorenzo’s jacket, her eyes fixed stubbornly out the window.When they finally pulled into the private driveway of the estate, Lorenzo parked the car and stepped out, opening the passenger door to offer a hand. Maya ignored it completely, gripping the doorframe to haul herself up.She winced as her swollen ankle hit the pavement, but she gritted her teeth and limped toward the front entrance, refusing to show a single trace of weakness."You don't have to act like a martyr, Detective," Lorenzo said mildly, walking a step behind her with his hands in his pockets. "A sprain doesn't care about your military pride.""I am fine," Maya snapped, her voice slightly tight as she leaned on the grand mahogany front door. "I'v
