“Lorenzo. Long time no see. I hear you’ve recently become rich,” Malcom Storm, a friend of Evan Marshall sneered. Lorenzo’s brows furrowed, forming a wrinkle on his once flawless face. “Malcom Storm? I never thought I’d see you here,” he replied with his hands still in his pockets. Lorenzo was unperturbed, as though nothing had happened. On the contrary, sheer hatred exuded from a scowling Malcom. “I assumed you’d always work for your previous boss. It seems you’re not as much of an asset to him as I thought,” Lorenzo continued, unbothered by Malcom’s nasty expression. Immediately, a scoff came from Malcom “I left that job. My current boss made the right decision in hiring me.” “Yeah, yeah. I’ll be taking my leave now.” Lorenzo still could not care less. He didn’t want to argue with him. He wanted to leave but could not as Malcom, who held a tray full of food, blocked his path. A storm brewed in Lorenzo’s eyes. His rage was so intense that anyone watching would get

Bianca had not expected this to happen. Lorenzo offered to support Ethan Cross, which would undoubtedly boost Ethan's career in Seraph Foundation, a company in the Byers group someday. Lorenzo arrived at the office that Bianca had set up for him. He noticed the gold plaque on the door, shining brilliantly and exuding an aura of boundless wealth. He reached out to grab the doorknob, but once he made contact, the plaque fell. The crisp clanging that followed made him freeze. Looking down, Lorenzo instantly noticed a silvery, metallic hue on the back of the plaque. A smile curved on his face as he commented, “It seems that there’s a thief in the foundation.” Only then did his gaze meet Bianca’s. The latter held her breath ever since the plaque fell. She never imagined this would happen. Bianca lowered her head and interlaced her fingers against her abdomen while formally apologizing, “M-My apologies, Mr. Byers! It’s my fault for not assigning tighter security.” “It’s all right.

Adrian had a gentle look on his face as he extended both arms welcomingly. “I hope God blesses you with better things, young man.” Martins never dreamed that he could enter the Byers residence through its front doors. After all, the Byers family was rich beyond belief—to the point where someone like Martins was unworthy of even mentioning their name. Now, not only had he entered the residence, but he was also experiencing such generous hospitality. The excitement caused his chest to tighten, leaving him breathless once again. Seeing that, Adrian lowered his arms and chuckled. “I suppose my presence might make things slightly awkward, so I’ll be on my way now.” He then promptly turned on his heel and left with his walking cane in hand. Martins’ jaw remained agape for the longest time. Never in a million years had he imagined tycoons like the Byers family would treat ordinary people with such kindness. Once Lorenzo and Martins were the only ones left in the hallway, th

Lorenzo felt it was necessary to draw a clear line between his subordinates’ service to their superiors and the latter’s friends.He waited for Martins to alight from the car before turning around and extending his arms wide.“Come along. Let’s give you a tour of my private jet.”Once Martins set foot on the airport grounds, he wondered if the plane they were boarding belonged to Lorenzo’s family. Now that Lorenzo had confirmed that suspicion, Martins’s jaw fell agape as he muttered, “D-Damn. It seems like you can afford plenty of luxuries now. Still, what shocks me more is that you still see me as your friend. You came to save me like you would’ve done back then.”Seeing how touched his friend was, Lorenzo blinked several times before replying, “Duh. We’re best mates, after all.”He had ascended the private jet’s steps by the time he finished speaking. He looked at the door while motioning toward the jet’s interior.“Hurry up. We’ve still got plenty of things to do.”Martins immediat

Their gazes met for a moment before a bodyguard joined Lorenzo’s side like always while martins headed towards the casino. Lorenzo trusted Marcus’ abilities, so he left for the airport.Martins followed along with a slightly hesitant expression. “Sir, you can move around on foot later. You can use our family’s own car.”Lorenzo stopped, then looked at his shocked friend, Martins, whose jaw had dropped despite only being able to see through a slightly opened swollen eye. Lorenzo knew Martins’ exaggerated expression was only because the latter felt shocked. Still, seeing that pleased him. He reached out to give Martins’ shoulder a reassuring squeeze.“Don’t be so surprised. I merely reunited with my family. It turns out that my grandfather is super wealthy, and so are my great-grandparents.”Those words did not ease Martins’ shock. Instead, he uttered a string of foul curses to display how taken aback he felt.It was only after the car screeched to a halt before them and grains of sand

The speaker dared not utter another word as he cautiously sat back in his seat.Lorenzo no longer concerned himself with that man. After all, he knew the people gambling here were much poorer than him. Their combined assets would not even amount to a fraction of his wealth. There was no way Lorenzo would waste his time on such people. Hence, he promptly placed his black bank card with the letter “R” onto the table.The manager’s brows furrowed. “I know many people worship Byers Group. Since you know of the Byers family, I’m sure you’re also aware of the family’s social status. In having this bet against me, I hope you understand that a measly person like you cannot survive the wrath of our casino or the Byers.”“Don’t forget what you’re saying to me now,” Lorenzo responded, his voice devoid of emotion while he glanced at his watch.Then, he placed his card onto the scanner.A second passed before the machinery let out a beep of approval and flashed a green light.Everyone around them
