Chapter 282
"You're a child, so I don't want to aim my firearm at you. Consider this your last chance to lower your gun," Edmund commented with a neutral tone as he stood composedly. However, Maurice saw the former's calmness as fear. He retracted his gun, casually leaning it against his shoulder while jutting his chin. He sat in his car, shutting the car door while mocking Edmund through the open window, "Don't you think the way you're speaking to me is counterproductive to what you want me to do?" Edmund remained unmoving but had already narrowed his eyes. No one could tell how he felt since he spoke emotionlessly the entire time. "I'm curious-what do you mean by that? I'd like to know what you think my motives are." Maurice's eyes widened. He wanted to know whether Edmund was genuinely curious or if the latter was trying to embarrass him. His face then warped hideously compared to everyone else's when he could not decipher Edmund's facial expression. He was both desperate and determined t
Chapter 281
Edmund frowned and hurriedly turned the steering wheel while explaining to Bianca, " We're about to collide with the other party's car. It can't be avoided, but I can assure you that we won't get hur: " Based on the few car chases he had experienced, he could tell that the other party's driver did not want to harm them. Still, what happened next shocked him; Bianca shook her head, saying, "No. What I'm most worried about now is Mr. Byers' safety. I don't care about anything or anyone. Not even getting into a car crash will faze me as long as I can get to Mr. Byers at once." Fortunately, things turned out as Edmund had expected; no one got hurt, nor did either side's cars suffer any damage. Edmund remained in his seat, massaging his temples. A raging headache pounded at his temples as he saw the many sports cars fleeing in the other direction. Not only that, but the drivers were al
Chapter 280
Beatrice had dropped Edmund and Bianca off someplace safe earlier. Once she left, the two found a coffee shop nearby, taking shelter until the dust settled with Lorenzo and the Byers Group.They sat down, but before they could order any drinks, they heard some people whispering from the table next to theirs."Oh my god, why would anyone upload this kind of video online? Tsk! My eyes hurt from watching it..." a guy said while shaking his head at his phone.The second person eagerly looked at the phone and exclaimed, "Maybe it's because the two people in that video are very famous! That guy's Lorenzo, the top dog at Kingston University. What's even more shocking is he used to be the poorest student there. It's just that he somehow became rich overnight."Upon hearing that, the first guy's jaw fell wide open."Woah," he replied, "I didn't know that. Well, what about the girl in the video? She looks pretty. Although, nothing about her seems r
Chapter 279
Calypso lay with her chest on the ground, her eyes widening as she tried to turn her head, wanting to frown bitterly at Lorenzo but failing; it strained her neck too much to look at Lorenzo. That, however, did not stop a boiling fury from surging inside her. The Veyron family suddenly kicked a loud fuss as Lorenzo was about to enter the villa. He had not dealt with such disarray in a while, so it made him stop, shove his fingers into his ears, and sigh. Disdain swept past his now steely eyes as he growled, "Although Calypso can no longer speak on behalf of you, I can't help wondering if she's always been your leader in these past few years." Darkness shrouded the Veyron family members' faces just then. They could not confirm Lorenzo's assumption as it was not the truth. Seeing how everyone fell silent, Cassian spoke up. "We haven't kept in touch with them in the many years that passed. Still, from what we know, not much should've happened on their end." Lips curling into a s

She swiftly gave Calypso a kick in the back, making her lose her balance and hurtle toward the ground. However, Beatrice was still holding on to her, so half of her body was on the ground while the other half was in the air.Then, two things fell out of her pocket, attracting everyone's attention.Lorenzo had been watching Calypso. He still had some questions for her, and he frowned when he saw the things that had fallen out of her pockets. He walked over to her and picked them up, an ugly look creeping onto his face when he realized what they were.Beatrice felt it'd been a while since she'd seen Lorenzo like this. She wanted to see what he was holding but couldn't because she was still pinning Calypso down. She couldn't afford to let her guard down around such a cunning woman.Fortunately, Lorenzo showed her what the things were. "This is surveillance equipment. Everything that happened earlier has already been sent to someone."Beatric
Chapter 277
Lorenzo had once again guessed what she was thinking. She tried to come up with a reasonable excuse for herself but failed. Soon, she started to look fearful. It wasn't because she couldn't think of a reason, but because Lorenzo started to smile while looking at her for no reason whatsoever. To Calypso, this wasn't a good thing. As she tried to think of a way to get herself out of this situation, Lorenzo said, "Before you said anything, I truly had no intention of going after Richard because he's innocent in all of this. However, I changed my mind when I saw your concern and fear. Perhaps punishing or tormenting Richard would be a better way to torture you." As he spoke, he turned to face them. Calypso stood there. She could clearly sense Richard's despair at Lorenzo's words, and she turned pale. Richard's reaction told her that Lorenzo wasn't pulling her leg. He was truly wealthy and merely kept a low profile, but he would definitely walk the talk. Without any hesitation, she sto
