Tedmond raised an eyebrow. “I thought so too.”
He led her to a table, and they both sat down. Lisa still wore the contact lenses, pretending to be Cora, but Tedmond had other plans.
“Waiter,” she called softly, waving the waiter over before turning her gaze back to Tedmond. “Since you’ve been here before, why don’t you order for me?”
Tedmond nodded. “Sure, I’ll do that.”
A smile appeared on Lisa’s face. She expected him to order expensive food and didn’t want to do it herself, hoping no

Sprinting towards them as the man tried to kick her again, Tedmond caught the man by the arm and flipped him over, slamming his back on the floor."Eek!" the man cried out as Tedmond twisted his arm even further. "What the heck are you doing?!""How dare you treat my daughter like that?!" Tedmond demanded, about to punch the man in the face when he was surrounded by several men.Judging by their attire and demeanor, Tedmond could tell they were bodyguards. He let the man go, rose to his feet, and immediately picked up Bianca, holding her in his arms."Sorry I’m late," Tedmond told Bianca."No worries," Bianca replied."He dares to hit the young master of the Lin family!" one

“I am willing to work for him as long as he pays me five times my salary,” Hino admitted. “There’s no way I’ll stick with the Lin for that low pay.”Neil’s nose flared. “You! I trusted you and thought of you as my most loyal guard. How could you switch so fast?”“You said money was the best thing in life, didn’t you?” Hino retorted.“You bastard!” Neil yelled. “You’re going to regret this!”“I don’t think I will,” Hino said, no longer supporting Neil. “I asked for a salary increase to cover my daughter's medical bills, but you dismissed me and didn’t even give me more time to find something else.”Tedmond’s eyes darted to Hino. No matter what Hino’s reasons were, it didn’t change the fact that he had supported Neil in bullying Bianca. And now, Hino was trying to gain Tedmond's favor. There was no way Tedmond would keep someone like him around.Hino could leave him for someone offering more money, and that was the worst kind of guard to have.“You didn’t even give me time to see her, a

Neil sneered as he heard Tedmond on the phone. “Are you trying to make a fake call to scare me? Trust me, that doesn’t terrify me because you don’t have the power to do that. When you’re done with that fake call, you should consider my request so we can come to an agreement.”Ignoring Neil, Tedmond continued, “Send all the information about Neil Lin to my phone and inform his dear father that it’s his fault the company is in such a crisis.”“Yes, young master,” Thomas replied. “He dared to ask a five-year-old girl to be his mistress. I can’t accept that!”The call ended, and Tedmond knew Thomas would be faster than necessary. After all, Bianca was like a granddaughter to him.“How dare you call me by my name?!” Neil demanded, raising his hand to strike Tedmond, but Hino grabbed him and twisted his arm.“You can’t get close to my boss or try to strike him,” Hino said. “Do you know how long I’ve wanted to do this?”The other guards tried to interfere but stood no chance against Hino.

Sitting in the VIP room of another restaurant, Tedmond crossed his legs, his gaze fixed on the tablet in his hand as he read through the text on the screen."You're the last son of the Lin family?" he questioned. "You talked a lot, making it seem like you were the heir."After Neil had pleaded with him, Tedmond had taken him and his guards to another restaurant for a private discussion. Bianca was in another room with the guards, Junior, and Kathy.He shouldn’t have left her with them, but for some reason, he could tell they wouldn’t betray him, especially since he had dealt with the Lin family in such a short time."I am the last child, yes," Neil admitted, his voice desperate. "But that doesn’t change the fact that I made my family bankrupt. When will you return things to the way they were before?"Tedmond raised his brows. "Are you commanding me again?"Neil flinched. "Not at all.""Then will you listen to me first?" Tedmond asked.Nodding, Neil sat opposite Tedmond, his expression

The next morning, Tedmond sat in his room, studying at his computer when Neil barged in.“Are you seriously going to make me wear cam glasses?” Neil questioned, holding up a pair of glasses for Tedmond to see.Neil was fully dressed in black pants, a hot pink blouse, and matching pink heels. He wore makeup and a long blonde wig, looking more like a woman than before.“You should work on your voice,” Tedmond said. “And I don’t remember giving you permission to barge into my room.”Neil scoffed. “Yeah, yeah. But why do I have to enroll in your school?”“It’s the easiest way to see him,” Tedmond replied.“I hate studying.”“You don’t have to.”“Hmph.”Tedmond glanced at Neil, a sinister look creeping onto his face. He couldn't help but wonder what Max's reaction would be when he realized he'd dated a man.“From now on, your name will be Alicia Lin,” Tedmond told Neil. “I’ve prepared a fake ID for you, and your father agreed to it, too.”At the mention of his father, Neil flinched. “My fa

As Tedmond stepped out of the car, he was greeted by the sight of the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the city, named ‘MFR.’“We’re here,” Melody said, staring at the restaurant's sign. “It was originally called ‘My Fucking Restaurant,’ but after it grew bigger than the owner expected, he shortened it to ‘MFR.’ Same meaning, same words.”"He wanted the restaurant to sound professional, as its regular patrons were from the higher class, and only a few people knew the full meaning of the abbreviation. Most assumed it was simply the restaurant's name."Tedmond turned his head to look at her. She had taken the opportunity to put on sunglasses and a cap to hide her face from the paparazzi.His brows furrowed. Why didn’t she disguise herself when she came to pick him up?As if reading his thoughts, she grinned. “I didn’t use my disguise at your school because I wanted people to recognize me. That way, you wouldn’t be able to get a girlfriend or ignore me.”A frown crossed his face.

Tedmond listened attentively as she spoke, and when she finished, a stunned expression appeared on his face."You might laugh," she said. "They all do when I tell them. They always say no one gets into accidents all the time, and that the necklace wouldn't be bought."Tedmond looked at her; her expression seemed more downcast than when she talked about her plan for the necklace."That's a nice idea," he said. "Why would I laugh at your ideas? Even if it’s not perfect, it can be improved, not mocked."Her eyes widened in surprise. "They said it's too expensive and that no one would buy such a costly, useless necklace."Tedmond shook his head. "Detectives and investigators would.""But I heard they don’t make enough."Tedmond placed a hand on his chin, thinking. "How much do you intend to sell it for, and who’s your target audience?""About $15,000 to $150,000, depending on the quality of the earrings. I have necklaces and bracelets too, at lower but similar prices," she replied. "My ta

Lowlife? Tedmond frowned, realizing that was how he was being referred to. He glanced at the woman before him, guessing she must be a star since she seemed to know Melody, but he didn't recognize her.“He is not a lowlife,” Melody sighed. “I don’t know why you enjoy mocking people who have done nothing to you.”The woman chuckled. “I, Liliate, am the only one who can. Besides, I stole your ex-boyfriend and am currently dating him. Are you chasing younger men now so I can’t seduce them too?”Tedmond’s frown faded as he listened. Was this woman bullying Melody?“You always pick up my trash,” Melody replied, unfazed. “So, it’s unsurprising that you’d brag about it.”"Melody, I must admit he is quite handsome, but he isn’t as hot as my boyfriend!" Liliate claimed. Tedmond glanced at Melody. “Who is she?”Liliate’s eyes widened. “What? How dare you not recognize me?”“Am I supposed to?” Tedmond asked, his tone indifferent. “I’ve never seen you before. How special are you that I need to kn

“Did they just leave me to pay for it?” Lisa muttered, not realizing she had spoken aloud.The waiter gave her a confused look. “That’s right. You have to pay the bill.”Lisa’s face twisted in frustration. She had ordered tons of food, expecting Tedmond to foot the bill once their conversation was over. Yet, he hadn’t even paid for the water he drank, and Sierra had the audacity to order takeout as well.“Umm, ma’am, other tables are waiting for me. I can’t stand here forever,” the waiter said, reminding her that she still needed to pay.Groaning, Lisa held out her hand. “Hold up, let me grab my card from my bag real quick.”The waiter nodded, still waiting.Meanwhile, Tedmond stepped into a hotel just across from the restaurant, completely unaware that Persis had even ordered a takeout, leaving Lisa with a massive bill.He wanted to see what would happen next, and staying at the hotel was the perfect option since it had multiple floors, allowing him to observe everything. He only hop

Lisa exhaled, setting down her fork. "If you play this right, Tedmond, the company could be yours permanently."Saying that wasn’t something she wanted to say. It was all a lie, and she didn’t care. As long as he returned to the family and helped with his baby mama’s money, the company would be stable enough for Max to run it.Even if Tedmond had changed, he was still the illegitimate son."Every choice that was made was for the company," Lisa added. "You wouldn’t understand since you were never around."Tedmond’s brows furrowed. Now, she was trying to manipulate him into believing he knew nothing about the family because he left."Also, you haven't paid attention to the business to begin with," she claimed shamelessly. "There’s no way you would understand the decisions made on behalf of the company.""Oh, really?" Tedmond questioned, finally finding something to use against her. "Then how would I run the company if I don't understand a single decision made on its behalf?"Lisa was ca

Tedmond glanced at Persis, his eyes questioning, silently asking if it was true. Persis nodded, confirming it wasn’t a lie. Lisa observed them both, confusion flickering in her eyes at their silent exchange.“She did mention it,” Tedmond replied, though Persis hadn’t told him anything. He was the one who had forgotten to ask her about it. “Why did you want to meet me?”Lisa’s eyes darted between Persis and Tedmond before settling on him. “With her here again?”Tedmond nodded, frowning. “What’s wrong with her being here? We’re super close—unlike you and me.”Lisa’s brows twitch, but she decided to push her concerns aside for now. First, she needed him to listen.Her gaze flickered between them again, suspicion evident, but she didn’t press further. "We should find a place to talk," she suggested, her voice smooth but firm."No," Tedmond replied instantly. There was no reason for a private conversation with her. He already had an idea of what she wanted to say, and he wasn’t interested.
CHAPTER 189
As soon as the words rolled off Finn’s lips, Lisa saw no reason to stop him.After all, if Tedmond was expelled, he might need their help to get back into school. She knew he wouldn’t want to embarrass himself by seeking help from his baby's mama.Even when they were dating, he had never asked her for anything, and she knew his child would be no different.Still, it puzzled her why he hadn’t relied on his baby mama when he was suffering at the hands of his family.Tilting her head to the side, she sighed. “Tell me what you’re going to do to them. If it’s something bad, make sure it affects Sierra more.”Finn nodded, a grin spreading across his face.****“What happened?” Persis asked as soon as she entered the classroom and found it empty.She had been curious ever since she saw Lisa leave with Finn. That made her think Lisa might have spoken to Tedmond without her presence.Tedmond rose to his feet. “You’re here. Since you’re here, it’s time for us to go. The others have gone to the

Lisa had told the professor that so they could leave without Sierra. She was sure she wouldn’t get a chance to speak to Tedmond if Sierra was there, too.“If she’s not going to be here today, then we have to leave,” the professor replied.Glancing at Lisa, Tedmond found her grinning at him, a bright smile on her face. She looked like she had won.“She’ll be here soon,” Tedmond told the professor.Shaking his head, the professor gestured to the door. “I know you’re waiting for Tedmond, but you’re a top student. You should care about your grades first.”Hearing that, Finn snorted. He had been the top student before Tedmond took that spot from him. There was no way he was going to acknowledge it.“I’ll wait here for her then,” Tedmond replied. “If everyone leaves, she won’t know where we are. I’ll stay behind and lead her to the group later.”Lisa’s brow furrowed. That wasn’t what she expected. Her lips parted as she tried to say something, but the professor spoke first.“Okay. That’s fi

When Tedmond returned from the bathroom, Persis was already in bed—his bed. She had a towel in her hand, her damp hair wrapped up, and had changed into her pajamas…more like his.Although she had claimed she came to see Bianca, she hadn’t even considered using the guest room when she felt sleepy. Instead, she had chosen his bed.That was when he realized she had only used that excuse to stay at the mansion.Walking over, he glanced at her as she lay in bed. Her eyes were closed, but that wasn’t enough to convince him she was actually asleep."Did Lisa call again?" he asked, testing to see if she was still awake.Persis didn’t move or respond.Sighing, Tedmond adjusted her position on the bed and pulled the blanket over her. Then, he walked to his wardrobe and pulled out an extra blanket.Moving back, he spread the blanket on the floor beside the bed, grabbed a pillow, and lay down. He closed his eyes, deciding he would talk to her in the morning.*****Sunlight filled the room as some

Tedmond already knew what Lisa wanted as he glanced at the caller ID. She was probably calling him for help with their failing business.She must have thought he would go running to her if she complained."Aren't you going to pick it up?" Persis asked, curious about what Lisa might say. "She wants to speak to you. You should answer it."Tedmond turned his head to Persis just as the call ended. He had spent too much time debating."Why do I have to pick it up?" he questioned.To him, the only people who should be calling were his father or Max. He wanted his family to be the ones reaching out to him.Lisa was just an outsider who had come into their family for money. He knew she would leave as soon as the family was ruined, but he didn’t intend to let her off easily.Since she had used him to get into the family, he was going to keep her there forever."Because it would be fun," Persis replied with a bright smile. "Aren't you curious about what she wants to say?"He shook his head. "I'

As soon as she finished speaking, Bianca closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep.A frown crossed Tedmond’s face but disappeared almost immediately. He didn’t want Bianca to wake up and see his expression."Sleep tight," Tedmond murmured, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead before turning to leave.He joined Persis near the door. She stood with her arms crossed, her sharp gaze locked on his."Does she mean Lisa, your ex-girlfriend?" Persis asked.Her tone was unreadable, and Tedmond couldn’t tell what she was thinking."She’s the one," he admitted. "I wonder what she sent to my email that Bianca read.""From the way Bianca spoke about her, it seems like they exchanged emails," Persis pointed out, her expression turning serious.Tedmond’s brows arched. He was sure Bianca had already gone to bed before he left for the party. He had no idea when she woke up and read his emails. Had she been looking for him?"Let's head out," Tedmond said, opening the door and stepping into the hallway
CHAPTER 184
Tedmond hummed in response, loosening his tie as he climbed the stairs.Thomas was stunned that Tedmond had met Mr. Cain. He had checked the guest list and was certain he hadn’t seen Mr. Cain’s name on it. Then it suddenly hit him—Mr. Cain must have intentionally added his name at the last minute.Sneaky man, Thomas thought, a frown crossing his face.Picking up his pace behind Tedmond, he pressed further. “And? What did he say?”They had both forgotten about the guest who had returned with Tedmond. Persis groaned as she walked in alone, rolling her eyes.“Thanks for welcoming me,” she said, throwing her hands in the air.But Thomas wasn’t paying attention. He was still fixated on Tedmond. “Did he say anything serious to you?” he asked again, still following closely.At the top of the staircase, Tedmond finally stopped and turned to look at him. “Nothing much,” he replied.He didn’t understand why Thomas was so curious about his conversation with Mr. Cain. Surely, Thomas already knew
