"Also, why hasn't anyone tried to confirm whether he's dead or alive? The bulk of your family was in a hurry to publicly announce his death after failing to contact him. Not to mention, you and your family members wasted no time battling over your family's inheritance," Lorenzo added.He leaned against the car, eyes boring into Austin with curiosity.Only Austin could see the former's expression as he lay on the ground, facing directly at Lorenzo, who looked down at him. His eyes darted left and right as he thought,"Shit. I'm in deep trouble now. This guy's right-no one has bothered to look for my nominal father, even though it's been a while since he vanished. The only people searching for him are my stupid stepsister and this guy. However, I'm pretty sure Clara doesn't know him because she's an idiot. Contrarily, this guy clearly has superior wealth and abilities. Guys like him would never associate themselves with Clara, who only invites trouble into her life. That must mean this
Chapter 284
Austin lay on the ground, watching as Lorenzo fell deep into thought. He could not help smugly raising his chin, saying, "Oh? Are you afraid now that you've heard my name? Let me tell you this—it’s too late to beg for my forgiveness now! Because, as the Veyron family's only heir, I won't let you off the hook easily!" He simultaneously gripped Lorenzo's foot, trying to push it off his chest. However, he soon clenched his jaw and narrowed his brows into a deep V when he failed to make Lorenzo budge. The latter's foot stayed unmoving on his body like a massive boulder, and he could not do anything about it. Having depleted his strength, he stopped resisting. His arms sprawled on the ground as he gritted his teeth. "I'm warning you! Get your foot off me now and kneel to prove your gratitude toward me for sparing you! Because in two days, I might become Veyron Group's chairman! I promise that you would've gotten shot to death if you had crossed me after I inherited my family's business
Chapter 283
Taken aback, Edmund whipped his head around to look at Bianca. He immediately understood when he saw the beads of sweat on her forehead and the goosebumps all over her arms. Lips pursed, he headed back to her side. Time had never felt this slow to Bianca before. Things already felt like they had been dragging on for a while, but Edmund's slow pacing made things worse for her. She glared daggers at him when he stopped to cast one last glance at the group of youngsters before finally running back to the car. Bianca's gaze was equally as frosty as her voice by then. She was quick to bark at him, "Get in." That was the first time Edmund had seen the icy side of Bianca. However, he knew why she was upset, so he kept quiet and obediently got into the driver's seat. Edmund took longer than expected, not knowing how to respond to the group of youngsters that caused him so much trouble. He could tell some of the teenagers in the group were genuinely sorry but had to stick up for Maurice si

"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

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

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
