Chapter 135
The urgent ringing of the phone interrupted his thoughts.Lorenzo frowned. He had a bad feeling about it.The moment he picked up the call, Martin's voice came through the receiver. The man sounded as though he was on the verge of tears."I know I shouldn't talk about this, especially to you. You only have enough money to live a normal life, but I really, really need your help."Lorenzo only had a few friends, and Martin was one of them. The man had helped him when he was hospitalized and had even paid part of his medical bills. Without Martin's assistance, he might never have survived long enough to meet his grandfather."Where are you, Martin? How much do you need?"Before Martin could answer, a rough voice suddenly came from the other end of the line."You sound just as stupid as your friend. Are you really as rich as he claims? You'll need a lot of money if you want him back. Or perhaps I can sell him overseas and make even more."The man burst into laughter.Lorenzo's expression
Chapter 134
Lorenzo and his grandfather both had shocked expressions on their faces when they heard Sebastian’s words. They understood the gravity of his words, which was why they were so shocked.According to what Lorenzo knew from his research, the Lockwood Group had groomed Asher Lockwood from the time he was a child to become the heir to the conglomerate. Disowning Asher now and kicking him out of the Lockwood Family meant that they wanted nothing to do with him anymore, and that their years of grooming and training him had gone down the drain.You could see why both Lorenzo and his grandfather were shocked at the situation. It was a brutal and heartless decision.Lorenzo turned back to look at Sebastian Lockwood after his statement. He now re-evaluated Sebastian Lockwood’s ruthlessness, as this decision showed that Sebastian Lockwood was even more ruthless than his son.Behind the humble and friendly face was a man who would do whatever was necessary to protect the interests of the Lockwood
Chapter 133
Enzo had a stoic expression on his face as he stared at the man seated beside the table filled with delicacies, and although he couldn‘t look at his grandfather‘s expression now, he could guess that he had the same stoic expression.Sebastian Lockwood was relatively handsome, and although he was old now, Enzo could tell that he was a playboy in his younger days, and it wasn‘t hard to tell where Asher Lockwood got his impressive looks from.Yet, while there were some similarities between the father and son, there were surely some differences between them.For one, Sebastian did not have the brutal and cunning impression his son had, and he looked somewhat gentle; but that made Enzo a bit wary. After all, he knew one of the most basic rules in a meeting like this was never to judge a book by its cover. Although Sebastian Lockwood might look harmless right now, he could be more cunning and brutal than his son. They had the same blood after all.Sebastian Lockwood stood up as a sign of re

The dinner invitation was to be held at NYC Hotels in two days' time, so there was no rush for both of them to attend it.Enzo had to admit that Sebastian Lockwood had a shrewd way of looking at things. The reason was that Enzo had just been discharged from the hospital, so it would have been completely counterproductive to invite him on the day of his discharge.His decision to invite them two days later was a thoughtful one, and even though Enzo was heavily biased against the Lockwood Groups, this at least scored them some brownie points in preparation for the upcoming dinner.The two days passed quickly without any major events happening, and it was now the night of the dinner. Enzo, who was now in tip-top shape, put more effort into his dressing than usual. Usually, on occasions like these, he would dress casually, but this time he wanted to make an impression on Sebastian Lockwood and come across as overbearing.No matter what trump card Sebastian Lockwood had that he thought he
Chapter 131
There was no other fiasco with the doctors or staff in the Hospital, and after two days, as the doctor said, Enzo was discharged from the hospital.The fast rate at which he was discharged was quite shocking to the medical personnel attending to Lorenzo. The reason was because a critical wound like the one Lorenzo incurred should have left one bedridden for more than a month even after a successful surgery, yet Lorenzo was discharged in less than a week.It was completely unheard of.Of course, this was due to the self-healing trait of the golden liquid, but as the medical personnel had no idea of the golden liquid in Lorenzo's body system, their shock at his fast healing rate was understandable.Another peculiar thing was that the surgery Lorenzo had left no scar on his chest. It was as smooth as an egg, and without the medical records, it would be impossible to tell that a surgery had been performed on Lorenzo.Lorenzo had just finished changing from his hospital gown to his casual
Chapter 130
“Lorenzo Byers?!” Alex questioned in disbelief.As the General Manager of a company in town, the Star Group, he was considered part of the upper echelon of the company, so there was no way he hadn't heard of the Byers Consortium.Although his company was big, it could never be compared to the Byers legacy, and Alex knew it could never hope to compete, as just one of the companies under the Byers Group was more than enough to completely crush the Star Group, which was a second-class company at most.Moreover, according to his boss, there was now a new chairman in the Byers Consortium, and he distinctly remembered that the chairman's name was Lorenzo Byers.If this young man in front of him was truly the chairman of the Byers Consortium, then he had to adjust his attitude immediately!“Do you know me?” Lorenzo asked calmly, arching one eyebrow at Mr. Alex’s sudden change in attitude.“Of course, Mr. Byers! How could I not know you?” Mr. Alex said cheerfully, completely changing his atti
