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

He smiled. "Ah, it's you. I remember that you were expelled because of your bad record. Also, the university tested you psychologically and determined that you had a high propensity for violence."As Lorenzo spoke, he pulled his hands out of his pocket and allowed them to rest by his side. Though he didn't think Holt was a threat, there was no denying that Holt could launch a sudden attack on any of the people present.Holt looked at Lorenzo and laughed mockingly. He rolled his sleeves up and cracked his knuckles."It looks like the beatings you received back in university didn't leave much of an impression on you. You don't seem to remember what we rich people are capable of, but I suppose they're the ones to be blamed for not being able to teach you a lesson. It's okay—I'll teach you a lesson on their behalf." He turned to faceAt his words, Calypso couldn't hold herself back anymore. This was mostly due to her stupidity—earlier, she'd suspected Lorenzo was a wealthy person! Her sus

Almost instinctively, Cassian wanted to deny this. He'd already opened his mouth to speak, but Lorenzo beat him to it. "Look, there's no need for you two to act this way because Calypso won't make it out of this alive. I won't allow someone who's plotted against me repeatedly and wants to use me to achieve her hidden agenda to remain in this world." His tone was devoid of warmth. Cassian frowned, feeling slightly anxious, but he didn't dare to do anything too out of place because of Lorenzo's abilities. He took a deep breath before saying seriously, "I can apologize to you on her behalf." Before he could continue, Calypso cut him off shrilly. "Cassian Veyron, that's enough! I don't need you to put up such an act in front of me. Anyway, it's obvious that you two have your own issues to work out, so stop dragging me into your mess!" Cassian was shocked at her words, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that once there was a misunderstanding between two people, it wouldn't
