Ava after cleaning her stained clothes, looked up to see Lorenzo standing in front of them.

Both of them were shocked as soon as they saw Lorenzo they had least expected to run into Lorenzo especially in a place like this.

Evan had taken Ava to the restaurant for a quick breakfast before they headed out to go do some luxurious items. However, they ahd never expected that a man like Lorenzo would come to dine here.

Ava's brows immediately furrowed in anger and irritation as she saw Lorenzo.

“What are you doing here Lorenzo?” She spat in anger.

Lorenzo's heart was instantly filled with pain as she saw Ava's irritated expression. She looked at him with spite as if they had never even dated.

“Didn't you hear me, Enzo? What the hell are you doing here?” she asked in anger as she stared at Lorenzo.

Her loud voice caught people's attention as they stared to look at what was going on.

“What do you mean what am I doing here? Are you the owner of this building? Must I report to you before stepping in?” Lorenzo replied coldly.

Although he was hurt to see them together looking like a lovey dovey couple, he didn't want to draw more attention to what is already going on. He just wanted them to leave him alone.

Ava had an irritated look on her face, she clearly did not like ghe indifference tone on Lorenzo. As she opened her mouth to talk.

A waitress interuppted her, carrying Lorenzo’s tray of food, “Mr. Lorenzo, your breakfast is ready.”

Everyone turned to look at her, as soon as she saw the mess of the fruit juice and gge tension in the air, she froze mid step.

“You bought an executive breakfast?” Ava blurted out with disbelief.

Her eyes dropped to the tray in the waitress’s hands- the neatly arranged platter. It was the most expensive item on the menu. She knew that because Evan had bought it for her several times.

Lorenzo slipped his hands into his pockets, calmly “Is there a problem with that?” he asked flatly.

Ava added in bitterness “Since when could a peasant like you afford such a meal?”

Lorenzo gritted his teeth, he didn't like the tone Ava was using on him, afterall, he is already minding his business and left her alone.

“Please, I don't want any trouble, excuse me.” Lorenzo said as he began to walk away.

However, he barely took two steps when Evan dragged him by the arm and pulled him back roughly, “Where do you think you are going you pathetic bastard” he cursed out Loud. “When my woman is talking to you, you stand and listen.”

At this point, people were alreayd bringing out their phones to record the drama.

Evan and Ava upon seeing that people are paying attentuon to what is going on, decide to humiliate Lorenzo publicly.

Lorenzo frowned but stayed calm, he wanted to see what those pathetic couples wanted to do this time around.

“Can't you staffs see that he is poor? He can't even afford his own food. See how lean he is” she said in spite as she looked at Enzo from head to toe.

The waitress who was still standing and holding the tray of food, looked at Enzo from head to toe, paying keen attention to his worn out sneakers, his old leather wristwatch and his worn out bag-back.

Clearly she could see that Lorenzo is poor, however, he had confidently paid for the food with his card and that confuses her.

Ava seeing that the waitress was still in doubt ans clearly surveying him said, “Do you think he can afford meals like this? I am not trying to bad mouth him but.” She said turning to the people with a louder voice, “I know him personally everyone. He can't afford to feed himself, he eats at the food bus truck over there, the ones their meals only cost $4” she spat.

Everyone gasped in shock at what she ass saying, people began to whisper loudly

“So why is a guy like that dinning over here?”

“Do you think he stole the money?

“What the hell is going on.”

Although, who was paying attention finally spoke out, “I don't kmow what you are talking about ma'am. But this young man right here had ordered our most expensive meal and he had paid with his black card.”

Ava’s face stiffened instantly.

“Black card?” she repeated, her voice losing a bit of its earlier sharpness.

    'Transaction Successful'Lorenzo's lips instantly curled up into a smile upon seeing the status change to 'Transaction Successful.'He swollenly turned to the flashy and arrogant woman with a smirk. "Transaction successful."The woman, whose eyes had now widened in shock and her jaw dropping in surprise, couldn't help but look at the cashier. "This is a lie. It is not possible. Run it again. How can a man like him be able to afford that kind of money?"The cashier froze for a second, staring at the screen as if she couldn’t quite believe what she was seeing either.Her throat bobbed as she swallowed.“Ma’am… the payment went through,” she said slowly, her voice trembling slightly. “Fifty thousand dollars. Paid in full.”A stunned silence fell over the entire store.The crowd that had been whispering moments ago suddenly went completely quiet. Several people leaned forward, trying to catch a glimpse of the card still sitting on the counter.Lorenzo walked slowly to the other woman who

    The tall woman’s perfectly shaped brows furrowed as she sized Lorenzo up from head to toe. Her gaze lingered on his faded T-shirt and worn sneakers, and the corner of her lips curled in disdain. She let out a sharp laugh. “And who exactly are you supposed to be?” she sneered. “Another charity case?” Lorenzo’s expression remained calm, almost indifferent. But his eyes were steady—cold and unwavering. “I believe she already apologized,” he said evenly. “There’s no need to humiliate her.” The woman scoffed loudly, flipping her long, glossy hair over her shoulder. “Humiliate her? Do you even know how much these heels cost?” She lifted the pair dramatically. “These are custom-made. Imported. You wouldn’t even understand the brand if I told you.” A murmur rippled through the growing crowd. Some recognized her; she is a frequent customer of Louis Vuitton, and she was clearly wealthy—dressed in designer clothes from head to toe, dripping in jewelry that screamed status. Others whispered

    As soon as Lorenzo left the restaurant, he hailed a cab and went directly to his dormitory.On getting there, he realized that there was no one in his dormitory, not even his friend; they were yet to arrive.He had left the restaurant with hope that he would be able to share the executive meal with them. However, since no one was home and his stomach was grumbling from hunger,he sat down, set the meal on the table, and began to eat—the first time he had ever tried such a meal.It tasted so good to Lorenzo that he had no idea when he finished everything.As soon as he was done, he lay for a minute before realizing that he did not have many clothes other than the one T-shirt his grandfather’s butler had given him when he was at the mansion.He peeped at the worn-out sneakers that were on his feet and realized he needed a wardrobe change: new clothes, new shoes, new sneakers, and underwear.Lorenzo stood up and hailed a taxi to go get himself some clothes.Upon arriving in front of Loui
