CHAPTER 149
Everyone was urging Dylan to stay the night. With how late it had gotten and the threats still looming, most believed the roads weren’t safe to drive at night.But what unsettled Dylan wasn’t the road.It was Becky.Her sudden warmth, soft tone in her voice, and the way she now looked at him, none of it looked genuine. It wasn’t respect... It was admiration for power... for his money. Dylan could see through it all.She didn’t care about him. She cared about what he now represented...!“Dylan... it wouldn’t be bad if you just spend the night here,” Becky said softly, stepping a bit closer. “We could get to know each oth—”“No...I will be fine.” Dylan cut in before she could even finish. His voice was calm and final.Becky's fake smile cracked for just a second as her cheeks burned with embarrassment, but Dylan didn't even spare her another glance as he turned to leave.Marissa watched how Dylan had abruptly cut off Becky like she was nothing more than a background noise. But Marissa
CHAPTER 148
“Mr. Dylan...” Marissa called out gently with a soft voice and a force smile.“You’ve done so much for this family tonight… Truly. You saved everyone, and now you’ve rescued the companies too. We’re forever grateful.”Despite her words being polite, the timing was deliberate and sharp enough to cut the tension forming between Dylan and Betty.The way Betty had leaned in and stared at Dylan's eyes made her think something obvious was about to happen and if she doesn't act now she might end up losing a capable man to her stepdaughter.She had seen enough of Betty flaunting her claim. The sight of her stepdaughter pressing in so closely, so confidently, to the man who had just made himself the most powerful person in the room made her stomach turn. Time and again, Betty had been a thorn in her side, always showing up where she wasn’t wanted, always standing in the way.What stung even more was the fashion brand company Mr. Walter entrusted Betty with, it might not be the main company,
CHAPTER 147
Reality crawled upon Becky when she realized that Dylan didn't just win everyone's heart rather he owned the largest shares in her father's company.Technically, he owned more of it than Mr. Walter himself. The same boy she had spent time mocking, laughing at, treating like dirt… now stood as their saviour. Not just in name, but in power...!She stared at Dylan, her mind reeling. Was this really the same guy everyone laughed at back in school? The cleaner? The pauper?Why did I believe them? I shouldn't... I shouldn't have believed them.... I should have defended him...!Now her perception of Dylan just changed instantly and she was now seeing the handsomeness that hatred had blinded her to. It was like Dylan became more handsome in her eyes and she just couldn't stop stealing glances at the unmatched handsomeness.'When did he become this... Captivating?' He was so handsome that it made Becky's breath hitch at the moment. She couldn't believe she had been stupid to look down on Dyla
CHAPTER 146
While everyone was staring and anticipating Dylan's response. His mind was focused solely on the numbers that truly mattered to him.Power Points.After all, he gets just 1 power point for every $200 Million spent in rank 2, and he currently has 15037 power points in store. 'Won’t hurt to spend more and push for the upgrade… I get more money with every rank unlocked anyway,' Dylan knew he hadn’t fully maximized the system’s potential yet, and that nagging feeling of wasted efficiency was eating at him. He wasn’t spending money for applause or recognition. For him, this was a strategy, a precise calculation. The more he spent, the closer he got to triggering the next evolution of the system. And each rank brought its own reimbursement bonus…He has nothing to lose in the end.‘No point holding back. The sooner I max out Rank 2, the sooner I unlock the next rank… and the real power that comes with it.’He glanced briefly at the stunned faces around him. Betty’s surprised face, Walter’
CHAPTER 145
"“What?” Everyone gasped.Betty’s eyes widened with her breath catching in her throat. 'Did he just say he’s going to invest in my dad’s company?'Her heart pounded so fast it felt like it might leap out of her chest. She could barely process the words...It didn’t seem real. 'Dylan… investing?'Not only had he saved them from danger, but now he was stepping in to rescue the family business without hesitation. 'He didn't even ask how much is needed... Is he that rich?' Betty was even confused with Dylan's identity at this point. Dylan's mansion was already a shocker to Betty. It was definitely far beyond what a scholarship student or school cleaner can afford. And now, requesting to invest billions into her father's company without hesitation? That was something only someone from an elite, possibly aristocratic background could do.She stared at him, completely unsure of who Dylan really was at this point.“He’s bluffing! That’s what he does... Trying to feel among and everyone
CHAPTER 144
As soon as Mr. Lund and his men disappeared from the estate, a thick wave of panic spread through everyone present. The atmosphere that was once tensed with violence, was now suffocating with uncertainty. Whispers broke out among the staff and everyone. Murmurs of Rudolf Lund, collapsing investments, and ruining Walter.The gravity of what just happened will send a message to the whole Stone City to never mess with the Lund's family. It never ends well.Walter was deeply rooted in international businesses, with transactions and ventures that extended far beyond the borders of Stone City. Over the years, he had built a reputation as a relentless, hardworking businessman and respected both at home and abroad. But despite his global reach, his foundation was still firmly tied to Stone City, the place where it all began.And that was the problem.The Lund family had their claws buried deep in the city's infrastructure... its banks, trade networks, and political influence.
