CHAPTER 59
After a few words, Lorenzo stepped back slightly, his presence still commanding but his intention clear.“I must host the conference,” he said.His tone was calm, polite, but final. There was no hesitation in his words, no room for negotiation. His attention shifted briefly toward the stage, where the host stood waiting, along with several senior figures already preparing for the next segment of the event.Luca gave a small nod.“Go ahead.”The exchange was simple.Uncomplicated.But the ease between them only deepened the tension in the room.Lorenzo inclined his head once more, then turned without another word. As he walked away, the crowd instinctively parted, their earlier whispers returning in hushed tones, filled with speculation, disbelief, and growing unease.“He spoke to him like an equal…”“Did you see that?”“No hesitation at all…”“Who is that guy…?”The attention that had once followed Lorenzo now split, half of it lingering behind, anchored firmly on Luca and the small g

“Glad to see you again,” Lorenzo said warmly, shaking Luca’s hand.The handshake was firm, natural, and completely unforced. There was no hesitation, no superiority in Lorenzo’s posture, no trace of the cold indifference he had shown the rest of the room. Instead, there was familiarity in the way he stood there, as if this meeting was not unexpected, not remarkable, but something entirely normal.The contrast was jarring.Moments ago, he had ignored Isabella completely.Now—He stood in front of Luca, speaking with warmth.The surrounding crowd fell into stunned silence, their earlier whispers dying in their throats as they tried to reconcile what they were witnessing.Luca met the handshake without a change in expression.Calm.Composed.As if nothing about this moment was out of the ordinary.“I heard Oriental Construction is yours, so I increased my investment,” Lorenzo continued, his tone relaxed but clear enough for those nearby to hear. “I trust Galaxy.”The words landed heavily.
CHAPTER 57
She turned sharply, anger burning in her eyes.The humiliation still clung to her like a second skin, hot and suffocating, but something else had taken root beneath it now—irritation, sharp and restless, demanding explanation. Her gaze snapped toward the direction Lorenzo had gone, her composure cracking just enough to reveal the storm beneath.“Who—”The word left her lips with force, edged with disbelief and rising fury.But her voice faltered. Her breath caught. Her words died in her throat. Because what she saw.Didn’t make sense.Not in any way that aligned with logic, status, or everything she believed she understood about power and hierarchy.Lorenzo was walking toward Luca.The distance between them was closing steadily, his steps still calm, still measured, but now undeniably directed. There was no hesitation, no wandering gaze, no distraction.A straight line. A clear intention. Straight to Luca. Isabella’s expression twisted. Shock flickered first. Then disbelief. Then some
CHAPTER 56
Lorenzo approached.The distance between him and the center of the hall closed steadily, each step deliberate, each movement commanding silent attention. Conversations dimmed to whispers, and even those whispers carried a cautious restraint, as though the air itself had grown heavier under his presence.Eyes followed him.Measured him.Waited.Isabella’s heartbeat echoed loudly in her ears, but her outward composure remained flawless. Her shoulders were relaxed, her chin slightly raised, her lips curved into a soft, confident smile that conveyed elegance without desperation.This was the moment she had prepared for.The opportunity she had already claimed in her mind.Alessandro leaned in slightly, his voice low but urgent.“Now,” he murmured. “Don’t miss it.”Isabella didn’t hesitate.She stepped forward at precisely the right moment, positioning herself directly within Lorenzo’s path without appearing obstructive. Her movement was smooth, calculated, her timing seemingly perfect.He

The doors at the far end of the hall opened with a quiet, deliberate motion, yet the effect was immediate and overwhelming as the entire atmosphere seemed to tighten in response.A tall figure entered.He did not rush, nor did he hesitate. Each step was measured, controlled, carrying a quiet authority that did not need to be announced because it was already understood. Conversations died down without being asked, and the subtle hum of anticipation turned into complete silence.Lorenzo walked in confidently, commanding attention instantly.His presence was overwhelming in a way that had nothing to do with volume or force. It was control. Absolute and effortless. His tailored black suit fit him perfectly, every line sharp, every detail immaculate. His expression was calm, unreadable, his eyes sweeping across the room with quiet assessment, as if weighing the value of everything before him.People stared.Some in admiration.Some in awe.Others in pure calculation.“That’s him…”“The ric
CHAPTER 54
The rising commotion reached its peak then abruptly shifted.A sharp, amplified sound cut through the hall, silencing the overlapping voices like a blade slicing through fabric.“Ladies and gentlemen!”The host’s voice rang out, clear and commanding, echoing across the grand space.Conversations halted mid-sentence.Laughter died instantly.Even the faint clinking of glasses stopped as the entire room turned toward the elevated stage at the front.Spotlights adjusted.All attention converged.The host stood at the center, posture straight, expression bright with barely concealed excitement. His presence alone signaled importance, but the energy in his voice—That was something else entirely.Anticipation.“Thank you for your attention,” he continued, his tone steady but charged. “We have an announcement to make.”A ripple moved through the crowd.Curiosity replaced distraction.People leaned in slightly, eyes fixed on the stage, waiting.The atmosphere shifted again.From casual netwo
