Chapter 423
"Why? Don't you think you're being unfair? Tell me what exactly is the relationship between you and that freakishly barbaric man beside you? When did you guys start seeing each other? And how far have you guys gone behind my back?" With every question, Uriah took one step forward.As Uriah approached Priscilla, a look of relief flickered in her eyes. Seeing that, Lorenzo smirked, knowing what Priscilla was about to do. Thus, when Uriah was about to leave the safe space behind Lorenzo's outstretched arms, Lorenzo reached out to grab and pull Uriah back.Priscilla's eyes widened in disbelief at Lorenzo.Opposite her, Lorenzo merely chuckled before turning around to look at Uriah."If you go to her, you'll fall right into her trap. That's what Priscilla wants to happen. That way, she can hold you hostage. Her hands have been behind her back this entire time because she's hiding a knife," he calmly explained.Yet, after saying that, he raised his brows while turning to sneer at Priscilla.

He had a bad feeling about this. Lo and behold, he was right. As he looked around, he saw that Priscilla had almost reached Lorenzo. As she lunged at him, she heard him lazily say, "Don't move."Beatrice frowned and looked at Lorenzo worriedly. This didn't seem to have any effect on Lorenzo, though. He merely looked like he was enjoying the show, and she suddenly realized that he was excited to see what would happen next. So, she crossed her arms, waiting to see how things would play out.Everyone thought Lorenzo was Priscilla's target, and this included Lorenzo himself. However, they were wrong. Priscilla was aiming for the man standing behind him. Lorenzo raised an eyebrow, looking at Uriah curiously. Once Priscilla discovered people were getting arrested, she hadn't even spared Uriah a glance.Perhaps the pity in his eyes was too obvious. Uriah's face darkened. Lorenzo didn't say anything else and turned to look at the people behind him. He had to admit that Uriah's men weren't hal

The people who'd been secretly trying to send the updates on the situation at FT TV to other TV stations were rounded up, cuffed, and led out of the building. At this moment, Priscilla started acting up again.When her gaze landed on one of the cuffed men, she stiffened, and her eyes widened. Then, she turned to look at Lorenzo Byers.Uriah was sensitive enough to his surroundings that he immediately noticed this. He didn't know what was happening, but he still kept a tight grip on Priscilla's arm. Then, he turned to look at the men they were leading out of the building.He scrutinized their faces, then frowned-he didn't recognize any of them, but this didn't seem to be the case for Priscilla.This had never happened in the past. Priscilla didn't have the chance to meet anyone new, so this wasn't a situation he was used to being in. He lowered his voice, but everyone still heard him ask, " What's going on? Why are you so agitated? Don't you know these people have broken the law?"Ther
Chapter 420
"At the same time, this means that I won't allow anyone to question my decisions. I need you to set up a proper regulatory framework instead of allowing this mess to continue. Your actions worry me, and I have to reconsider our cooperation. In the meantime, I want you to arrest these people who've broken the federation's laws." Lorenzo Byers turned to leave without another look at the official.To his surprise, the petite woman didn't intend to let him leave. She shouted, " What right do you have to act so high and mighty? You might be wealthy, but it's not like you're the one who amassed such a massive fortune! Once Aurelia City's government is established, you'll definitely regret this!"Lorenzo Byers stopped, and the official paled. He waved his hands anxiously when Lorenzo Byers turned to look at him, saying, "No, we don't mean that. Rest assured that we'll never go against the law, not even when Aurelia City's government is as powerful as the other cities. Please, you have to bel
Chapter 419
Lorenzo raised an eyebrow and looked at the official with surprise. He didn't expect him to be so blunt, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. He liked people like him, so he nodded decisively."Sure. I'd be glad to invest in an orderly and lawful city." As he spoke, he got to his feet and turned to look at Beatrice. "I think I can entrust this to you."She didn't say a word, but her frown was enough to show her displeasure. Lorenzo saw this, but he didn't allow her to reject him. "You should know that with Clara's disappearance and Bianca's departure, there aren't many people left that I can trust. This is a key part of my plan, and it means a lot to Aurelia City-I need someone I can trust wholeheartedly to handle it."Beatrice knew what he was getting at and understood that this wasn't something she could turn down. Her brows were still furrowed, but she nodded. Then, she turned to look at the official and said, " Hello, my name's Beatrice Manson. I'm Mr. Byers' bodyguard."
Chapter 418
Beatrice's eyes widened. Then, she nodded. "I understand, sir. I think you should get ready for the authorities' arrival—there's probably going to be a tough battle when they get here. This battle will establish our status in Aurelia for a long time to come." She looked at Lorenzo seriously. "Yeah." He sat down, crossed his legs at the knee, and frowned. "I know what you're worried about, and you're right to be worried." He gave her a thumbs up. "You're very smart, and it's very likely your prediction will come true... if the official that comes isn't the smartest." Lorenzo narrowed his eyes, then said, "Well, I hope that doesn't happen. Otherwise, the whole of Aurelia will end up in chaos." His voice was soft, but it still made Beatrice shudder. She turned to look out the window, then turned back, pulled her phone out, and checked the time. She said, "Mr. Byers, I called the authorities when I was at the entrance. Their office is only three streets away from here, so they should b
