Chapter 232
Lorenzo placed his hands in his pockets, condescendingly looking down at Travis and spitting. Without giving the matter another thought, he swung his foot onto the latter's stomach, then headed back to the couch. Travis lay on the ground. He struggled to turn his head toward Lorenzo before coughing up blood. Only then did his hoarse voice ring out. "I guess you're not very bright, so I'll punish you now!" His head whipped around to face the men in various formal suits behind him. They were staring at him with blank faces, which made his breathing quicken. He slammed both palms into the ground, forcing himself off the floor. "Why the hell aren't you guys doing anything?" he loudly barked at the men, his saliva splattering everywhere while he pointed at Lorenzo. "Have you forgotten who the boss that's sustaining your livelihoods is? I'm now ordering you guys to break this boy toy's legs! Let's see how he'll use his body for a living after becoming a cripple!" Not a tinge of emotion
Chapter 231
Bianca saw a message appear on her laptop screen. In it, Lorenzo explained his current situation, causing her to frown.She looked up at Beatrice, alerting her. "Mr. Byers might be in trouble. I'm unsure if he'll sustain any physical injuries from this unforeseen situation."As soon as Beatrice heard that first sentence, she put away the map she held and got up to leave. Only when she stood at the door did she hear the last sentence. Thus, she stopped to say, "I have some doubts."Bianca smiled, nodding. "I understand what you're confused about, but you won't feel that way after reading the rest of what Mr. Byers has sent us."Bianca's composure alleviated Beatrice's anxiety at that moment. She mused, "Among everyone I know, no one cares for Lorenzo more than Bianca. So, if she's calm, it must mean Lorenzo isn't in real danger."With that thought, she paced over to read the message on Bianca's laptop. Nevertheless, her lips twitched, and she could not hold herself back."Thank you for

While speaking, Lorenzo directed his gaze at Bastian Reyes. "He's a remarkable member of the authorities. Alas, because he comes from the Byers family, it was much easier for me to obtain his personal information than you or the other authorities."Many expressions of shock, doubt, disbelief, and panic swirled in Miguel's stormy eyes. His chaotic emotions were notably different from Lorenzo's stoicism.A lengthy sigh came from Lorenzo."Seeing that he's a Byers, I won't pursue this matter anymore. Nevertheless, I want the authorities to know this—it's impossible for you guys to pin the old woman's death on me. After all, if I wanted to, I could easily kill someone."With that, Lorenzo knocked on the desk before him, ordering, "Beatrice, you can send them off now."Beatrice appeared just then. Her gaze was as sharp as a dagger as it pierced through Miguel. She then motioned at the door. "This way."Miguel knew nothing would change even if he and Bastian Reyes remained there. Not to men
Chapter 229
'"But I had no money, place to go, friends, or even family. There was no one I could ask for help from," Edmund continued. "I roamed the streets for three days, starving and freezing so much that I wanted to seek help from my professor. However, when I arrived at his home, I realized his door was locked, and it seemed like no one had been home in a long time. I asked around the neighbourhood, but a neighbour suddenly called out my name and handed me my professor's house keys. I asked them what had happened to my professor but never got any answers. So, I lived in my professor's home for three years while searching for him. The authorities only revealed the truth when I was on the verge of breaking down." He paused for a breath before adding, "It turned out that my professor tried searching for me and discovered the company's unethical experimentation in the process. He then informed the authorities and negotiated with the company to hand me over. "He even gave them his life's wor
Chapter 226
Lorenzo heard some noise on the other end of the line before his grandfather's resolute voice rang out. "Tell me everything you know." There was nothing to hide, so he told Adrain everything he and Bastian had seen and experienced. After listening to the entire story, Adrain's tone grew even grimmer. "So you're saying neither of you came into contact with anyone? No one injected anything into either of your bodies or forced you to consume anything? Yet this still happened?" Lorenzo rubbed his temples. "Yes, Grandfather. I've tried my best to recall every detail, but I haven't come across anything that seems out of the ordinary." "Alright." Adrain ended the call. Lorenzo put down his phone and turned to Edmund. "That drug you researched... how is it administered?" Edmund met his gaze. "There are plenty of ways. It can be ingested, absorbed through physical contact, or even inhaled." "When do the memory lapses begin?" "The moment the drug takes effect. That's also why it was n

Bastian Reyes followed Lorenzo. He had his own thoughts about this but couldn't put them into action. On the other hand, when Edmund heard Lorenzo say his name, he flung Leonard aside without hesitation to go to him. However, the moment he had his back to Leonard, Leonard suddenly pounced on him and wrapped his arms around Edmund's leg. He started wailing, "I know I've made many mistakes, but I hope you can forgive me this time." Edmund shook his leg. Leonard was clinging to his leg so tightly that his blood flow was restricted. He took a deep breath and forced out through gritted teeth, "Let me go, or I swear I'll never forgive you!" Leonard slowly released him. Edmund moved away and gave him a look before heading to Lorenzo's room. He was greeted by a shocking scene, making his eyes widen—Bastian Reyes was gripping Lorenzo's hand tightly, and he was crying. It was the complete opposite of his usual cold, steely image. Edmund didn't know whether he'd been hiding this from them f
