Leila tried her best to remain polite, though her patience was wearing thin. “Well… you’ve just rendered me speechless. I don’t know how to counter your words right now. After all, I’m no one compared to you. I cannot afford to offend you.”Kaden, who had been watching from a distance, noticed the interaction and beamed with satisfaction.He turned to Madame Olivia. “Grandma, look. That’s Leila talking to Harold Lance, the young master of the Lance Group.”Everyone turned their attention toward the pair. Madame Olivia’s eyes lit up with clear excitement. “Why? Is there something going on between them?”Kaden quickly replied, “Yes. I didn’t tell you guys this before, but Harold Lance is very interested in Leila, and he asked me to help him out. I’ve been assisting him behind the scenes.”Madame Olivia’s expression brightened even more. “This is it. This is the moment our family can truly rise and grow again. Do you know what it would mean if Leila married into the Lance family? Leila

The event continued in full swing. Guests enjoyed exquisite dishes and fine wine, the atmosphere buzzing with networking and subtle power plays. Throughout it all, Harold Lance’s eyes remained fixed on Leila. He wanted her by any means necessary and the sight of that “pest” constantly by her side filled him with simmering irritation. “Well, since we’ve already met,” he muttered to himself, “I might as well take the initiative.” He stood up smoothly and made his way toward their table with confident strides. “Hello,” he said, his voice smooth and charming as he stopped in front of them. Drex and Leila both looked up. Drex tilted his head slightly, studying Harold’s expression and tone. It was odd. Definitely not something he would do. Leila cleared her throat and stood politely. “Hello. Um, can I help you with anything?” Harold chuckled lightly, shaking his head. “I don’t know. Kind of… not really.” He paused, his gaze lingering on her. “It’s just that since we met, since I s

“And before I conclude my speech…” Lord Aric Pierce’s powerful voice boomed across the grand hall, instantly commanding the full attention of every guest. The room fell into a respectful hush as all eyes turned toward the stage.“I would like to give a special shout-out to the true owner, the Lord and Master of the Knight Group, the one and only son of the late Master Alexander Knight. He is here among us tonight.”Shock and excitement immediately swept through the crowd. Guests began looking around frantically, whispering urgently to one another as curiosity spread like wildfire.“Where is he? Why does he always hide himself like this?”“The real Lord and Master of the Knight Group… he’s practically a legend. Everyone wants to catch even a glimpse of him. Even most of the staff at Knight Group don’t know his true identity, and those who do wouldn’t dare speak his name. He moves like a ghost in the corporate world.”Harold Lance also scanned the room with sharp, calculating eyes. Th

The event was going smoothly. At the center of it all, on a raised stage bathed stood Lord Aric Pierce, the formidable leader of the Knight Group. His presence commanded the room. Dressed in a perfectly tailored black tuxedo with subtle silver accents, he exuded power and authority.He held the microphone and addressed the audience, his deep, resonant voice filling the hall.“Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and valued partners,” he began, “tonight, we gather not merely to celebrate, but to mark a significant milestone in the history of the Knight Group. For months, our engineering and design teams have poured their expertise, innovation, and relentless dedication into creating something extraordinary, a new flagship race car that represents the pinnacle of automotive excellence.”He paused, allowing his words to settle, then continued with pride. “This is not just another vehicle. This car embodies the future of high-performance engineering. It features a revolutionary h

“And who, exactly, do you think you are to be showing me the door?” Drex asked, his brow arched in a look of mild amusement.Tom faltered for a second, the words momentarily stuck in his throat before he regained his bluster. “There is absolutely no world in which you were legitimately invited here. You’re an intruder, and you need to leave before you make a scene.”Drex shook his head slowly. “I’m afraid I can’t do that. It would be quite rude to disappoint my host, wouldn't it? Look, Tom, there’s no need to be so anxious. I’m just a ‘nobody,’ remember? What could someone like me possibly do at an event this prestigious? If I step out of line, I’ll likely be eaten alive anyway.”Kaden let out a dry, mocking chuckle. “Well, at least you’re self-aware.”Drex turned his gaze toward him and gave a compliant nod. “I try to be. To be honest, my only real interest tonight is the catering. I’ve heard the dishes at these Knight Group events cost more than a year's rent. I’d hate to miss out o
