Chapter 111 - Lance’s Hidden Agenda
While Luke silently watched Lance, his friends could not help but freeze for a moment at what they had just heard. Not only them, but Tiffany as well.Being addressed by Lance himself as ‘Mr. Cruise’ was already shocking enough, but the way he followed it up, calling him the same way heirs of top families were addressed, left them even more stunned.‘Young Master Luke?’ they all echoed almost at the same time in their minds.Although it could pass as a joke on Lance’s part, the timing of when he said it seemed to align too well with the serious atmosphere quietly forming between the two. It was difficult to simply brush it off as a joke, as if he only said it to catch Luke’s attention.But for Tiffany, of course, she immediately believed there was something more behind her brother’s words.After witnessing with her own eyes how Joey Alanis bowed in front of Luke, she had already concluded at the time that Luke was far from ordinary. And n
Chapter 110 - What Is Lance Up To?
“Mr. Velasquez.” Luke offered Lance a restrained, slightly forced smile, subtly lowering his head in greeting.“No, Mr. Cruise. I told you to just... call me by my name. Aside from that, you’re now Mr. Malcov’s new right-hand man. I should be the one addressing you formally, shouldn’t I?” Lance replied in an easy, casually measured tone.Fortunately, the background music was louder than their conversation, so no one else caught what Lance had said except them.Luke’s friends, who were already shocked, were clearly stunned again after hearing that. Their gazes shifted back and forth between the two of them.They couldn’t help but be taken aback that Lance already knew Luke had become a member of the Blazing Phoenix Gang even before they, his own friends, did. Just as Luke already knew that Lance was engaged. That could only mean they had already met before and knew each other.Tiffany, on the other hand, was surprised for the same reason. But what unsettled her even more was the fact t
Chapter 109 - Strangely Kind
It was none other than the blonde-haired woman he had met at Laurentshé Restaurant. But unlike before, she was alone this time.What surprised him even more than her presence was her smile.Yes, she was smiling sweetly at him right now, which felt rather odd considering how their last meeting had ended. At the same time, there was something undeniably strange about it. Even the way she looked at him carried a different kind of warmth.‘Is it because she thinks I’m actually an exclusive guest at Laurentshé?’ he wondered.That had to be it.Apparently, status could really change the way people saw and treated someone.“Hi, I’m Tiffany. Nice to meet you. Again...” she said with a slightly shy smile, subtly emphasizing the word ‘again’ as she extended her hand for a handshake.Luke immediately understood what she meant. The way she said it made it sound as if she felt embarrassed about how things had turned out the first tim
Chapter 108 - Unexpected Guests
“I’m sorry about my mom... you know how she is,” Jacob said quietly, running a hand through his hair as he let out a tired sigh.“It’s alright. I understand. You don’t have to get so worked up over something like that,” Luke replied calmly, offering only a small, restrained smile.Even so, he couldn’t quite shake the quiet disappointment settling in his chest. It wasn’t as if Jacob’s family was the only one like that. People with the same mindset existed everywhere in this kind of society. After all, Jacob was still his friend.The way they pressured him into doing things he clearly didn’t want, all just to meet their family’s standards, felt deeply unreasonable. Somehow, he couldn’t help but think of Kina.The situation reminded him of hers. It simply didn’t sit right with him, even though Javier had told him that Kina had agreed to marry Lance herself. He knew she was being forced against her will just to save the Alanis family.He just
Chapter 107 - If Only They Knew
“Merlyn, do you know him?” Merlyn’s mother asked, her eyebrows lifting slightly in confusion.“Yes,” Merlyn replied with a disdainful scoff. “We happened to arrive at the same time as him earlier. I even thought he was some beggar asking for food.” She looked Luke up and down again, as if quietly wondering why Jacob had lent him clothes. “Is he really that poor that he can’t even afford his own? Psh! What a piece of trash,” she added irritably, folding her arms without the slightest concern for whether Jacob would get angry at her words.“Yeah, right,” the man beside her chimed in, laughing mockingly as he stared at Luke the same way. “We thought he was some stray dog earlier, just wandering around outside the gate, waiting for some kind-hearted Samaritan to toss him a scrap. Haha, turns out he’s actually your cousin’s friend, Merlyn. That’s honestly hilarious!” he said, still laughing.“Wait, don’t tell me he’s the same guy your cousin’s planning to intro
Chapter 106 - The Worst Dormmate
“Jacob, honey...”Jacob’s mother quickly stood up from her seat and hurried toward him, gently holding him by both shoulders as she looked at him for a brief moment. The way she gazed at him was unmistakably proud, almost glowing with quiet excitement.Jacob frowned, growing even more confused about what was going on.“What’s this? And... why are you all staring at that bottle of wine?” he asked, clearly puzzled.His mother guided him toward the sofa and gently seated him, positioning him so he was directly facing the bottle.“Look, that’s a Scharzhoberger Riesling. It costs more than thirteen grand. It could even be higher than that,” she said with a bright, pleased smile, gesturing elegantly toward the bottle.Jacob was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected the wine to cost that much. Although he was fond of drinking, he didn’t really care about brands at all. What mattered to him was the taste he was already familiar with. If
