Chapter 276
Calypso relaxed at his words and started to look victorious. "That must mean that he isn't a wealthy person." Unfortunately for her, she was absolutely wrong. Richard smiled with satisfaction. "Lorenzo comes from one of the most powerful families in the world, and he has immeasurable wealth. In fact, he'll be inheriting all of his family's businesses in the future," Clara said sincerely as she looked at Calypso, hoping to see her apologize. Though she didn't like Calypso, she knew Cassian Veyron wanted to help her. And so, she was doing what she could to help. However, she was disappointed once again. Calypso stood there with her arms crossed, looking mocking. She said sharply, "I know you're desperate to be with Lorenzo, and you've already thrown your family aside for him. In fact, when your dirty laundry was aired for the world to see, you decided to continue helping Lorenzo for the sake of your relationship rather than thinking of ways to protect our family's reputation. That's

Lorenzo didn't allow them to ask more questions after saying that. He looked at Calypso's waist and said calmly, "You have a blade tucked into your waistband now, don't you? You must've put in a lot of effort to pick it up amidst the chaos earlier." Calypso paled, not expecting Lorenzo to know about this. Earlier, when she was doing this, she'd kept an eye on Lorenzo to ensure he wasn't paying attention to her. She stiffened, at a loss for what to do. Cassian Veyron suddenly looked up at Lorenzo with a resolute gaze. "Lorenzo, I'm sure there's a misunderstanding somewhere. Calypso might've made many wrong choices, but I'm positive she wouldn't stab someone." Lorenzo opened his mouth, then shut it again and massaged his temples. "I don't think there's anything further to discuss. If you have something to say about this, I don't mind dealing with the both of you together." Everyone's expression changed at his words. Calypso looked expectant, and Clara looked worried, but Cassian Vey

Cassian thought that Lorenzo would at least consider it. To his disappointment, Lorenzo shook his head firmly. "I might have a slightly better impression of you now, but it's not enough to stop me from going after someone who has repeatedly tried to harm me." His face and tone were devoid of emotion, making it clear to everyone that Cassian's wish would never come true. Cassian paled. He put his hands on his knees, seemingly wanting to get to his feet, but he failed. Calypso stood nearby, watching them. She didn't expect Cassian to go this far for her, especially when he usually acted like he couldn't care less about her. Her heart skipped a beat, and she placed a hand on her chest as she walked toward him. The moment she started moving, Lorenzo heard her footsteps. He frowned deeply and turned to look at her with dissatisfaction, but he didn't stop her. She stopped before Cassian and looked down at

Clara said crisply, "If that's the case, I don't want you to get into a fight with Lorenzo, nor do I want you to apologize to him."Cassian's eye twitched. He pursed his lips, eventually tapping her on the head without saying anything.Clara continued to look at him. She couldn't tell whether Cassian had agreed to her request. As she thought about this, Cassian walked over to Lorenzo. She watched him expectantly, but it quickly turned into disappointment because Cassian didn't do as she'd hoped.He sighed softly, then said, "Look at how innocent she's always been. It's all because of me..." He didn't get the chance to finish his sentence because Clara interrupted him. She stood between the two of them with her back to Cassian, and he frowned, about to reprimand her.However, he couldn't bring himself to do it because he knew that she was just worried about him.Clara looked up at Lorenzo and took in his confused expression. She smiled and

Lorenzo knew that he was just in a rush to leave so that he could investigate him, so he didn't keep him waiting. He said calmly, "You can leave if you want to, but there's a price to pay."His calmness made Holt doubt himself more. However, he didn't want to ruin his credibility by changing his attitude again, so he met Lorenzo's gaze, forcing himself to remain calm. Before he verified Lorenzo's identity, he could only treat him as an equal."Name it—I'll give it to you as long as it's something I can afford.""Clara." This was Lorenzo's response.Holt was momentarily shocked by this, but he soon smiled and waved a hand. "Your wish is my command." He watched Lorenzo closely, wanting to see his joyous expression. To his disappointment, Lorenzo's face remained devoid of emotion. Holt gulped, planning his next move.Then, he saw Lorenzo wave a hand and say, "Get this straight—everything I said to you earlier has a time limit. If you're still standing there when I change my mind, you'll

Cassian looked at the ground and said seriously, "Even if I've offended you, I hope this won't affect your relationship with Clara. She's very innocent, and even if she occasionally does things that are hard to fathom, it's only because she doesn't know it's wrong. Her mother left when she was very young, and none of us taught her about these things. That's why she's so naive. So, please blame me for everything she's done wrong."After saying these things, Cassian seemed to regain his strength. He raised his head and looked at Lorenzo, continuing, "I know you're a kind and reasonable man."When he met Cassian's eyes, Lorenzo couldn't bring himself to shake his head, but he didn't want to let Cassian off the hook so easily. After a few seconds, he came up with the perfect response—he shrugged, then looked away and focused on Holt, who'd been waiting for him with his arms crossed.When he met Lorenzo's eyes, he put his arms down, his gaze mocking. "Are you ready to fight me?" He sized L
