That annoying voice cut through the cheerful mood of everyone. Louis also raised his head and looked towards the entrance. He saw Aboli with her arms draped around a man, her beautiful face displaying an undisguised arrogance.Drawing everyone's attention, including envy, she seemed genuinely happy. She lifted her head high, casting a sidelong glance at Louis. There was a cunning calculation in her eyes.Aboli looked towards her boyfriend, feigning coquettishness as she said, "My love, he is over there. He's the one who wants to get acquainted with me. When I refused, he threatened me. I'm really scared."Having grown up in the prestigious Alexander family, a renowned clan in the capital, Eren was accustomed to seeing deceitful expressions on people's faces. Aboli's clumsy acting techniques couldn't hide it from him. He was certain that things were not as she had described. However, Aboli was his girlfriend. Moreover, he enjoyed being relied upon and revered by others. Since childhoo
Louis said, "Do you want me to choose?" The corner of his eye curved in a contemptuous smirk, seemingly belittling Eren's arrogance. Eren felt himself being looked down upon. He glared at Louis, and his face contorted with anger. Seeing Eren's reaction, Louis chuckled and said, "Alright, I don't want an unfair fight. Let someone at this party choose a discipline for us to compete in." Louis tilted his head and looked at Eren, asking, "Do you agree with that?" With Louis speaking like that, Eren had nothing more to say. He also felt it would be fairer this way, as the only thing that angered him was Louis' attitude. How could someone like Louis, the president of a company on the verge of bankruptcy, maintain such a carefree and lighthearted demeanor? It was as if nothing could shake him... Eren was eager to bring Louis down from his pedestal. He casually pulled a man from the party over and furrowed his brow, saying, "As you've heard, I want you to choose a discipline for us to compete
Louis took off his swimming cap and then touched his face slightly. He turned around, slightly bending down to look at Eren, who was still underwater and said with a smile, "You've lost. It's time for you to fulfill your promise."Eren's face was colder than the water. His expression twisted with anger. He had never thought that he would lose to Louis. Why? Could he be unlucky enough for swimming to be Louis' strong suit?What Eren didn't know was that even if he had competed against Louis in anything else, he would still lose.Seeing Eren's silence, Louis raised an eyebrow and mockingly said, "What's wrong? Are you going to take back your words?"As soon as everyone heard Louis say that, they immediately looked at Eren with suspicion and contempt. Eren felt the gaze of everyone and immediately furrowed his brows. His face turned red with embarrassment and anger.He quickly swam to the shore, and the sound of the water seemed to wake Aboli, who had been standing by. She hurriedly ran
The Alexander Family.Mr. Alexander sat in the main seat, holding a glass of red wine. He laughed and took a sip of the wine at his leisure. His relaxed and joyful mood was evident. The sole reason for his happiness was having the Hecate project in his hands.With this project, the Alexander family was sure to take a new step forward in the business world.Sitting below him were the descendants of the Alexander family. Dot, the heir of the Alexander family, was among them. He spoke first, congratulating his father, "Congratulations, father. With this project, we can maintain our position for even longer."Mr. Alexander nodded satisfactorily and happily said, "We can't predict anything yet. Tomorrow, you must focus on showcasing yourself and the project and attract as many investments as possible."Although he spoke that way, his voice was full of self-assurance, without a hint of worry. Mr. Alexander was confident that with this Hecate project, major investors would lean towards him o
Thanks to Lucy, the Crown family can rise to the level of the Alexander and Ames families. Until now, Mr. Crown has never doubted Lucy's decisions, except for now.Because just one person with an investment eye will see that the Hecate project can bring tremendous profits!Mr. Crown looked at Lucy suspiciously and asked, "Why do you want to give this project a score of 1 because of Louis?"Lucy raised an eyebrow slightly and replied without hesitation, "That's right."Mr. Crown: "..."Unexpectedly, his daughter would have such a day. She's infatuated because of a boy...Just as Mr. Crown thought that Lucy suddenly interrupted his thoughts, there was a hint of humor in her voice as she said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't worry; your daughter is not so infatuated with a man that she disregards her interests."Upon hearing Lucy's words, Mr. Crown couldn't say anything more.She was grateful for Louis' advice. Louis had made her realize what she needed to do to pro
Regardless of the trembling upper-class society due to his plans, Louis continued with his daily routine. He went to work as usual and enjoyed his leisure time, experiencing a newfound comfort in life.Elena had returned to work, leaving Mason feeling profoundly useless. He was curious whether there was a suitable position for him alongside Louis.Just as Mason pondered his next move, Elena suddenly informed him that Louis had called him to the office. Louis wanted to discuss something with him.Although Mason didn't know what Louis wanted to discuss, he quickly went to Louis' office.Inside the office, Leonard stood facing Louis, seemingly reporting something. His voice echoed, "Currently, the Alexander Family is undergoing a significant financial crisis, and this is our opportunity to file a lawsuit."Louis nodded and asked, "How far along is the case preparation?"Leonard immediately responded, "It's complete, sir. We can ensure that the Alexander Family will suffer significant dam
Louis sat in his office, again reviewing the evidence that implicated the Alexander family. Mason sat beside him, holding a laptop, displaying complex red and blue lines on the screen.Mason's excited voice filled the room. "The shares of the Smith company are plummeting. This is our opportunity to strike!"Louis chuckled and said, "You will owe me a great deal after this."Mason immediately replied, "I've already promised to repay you for a lifetime!"Amused by Mason's fervor, Louis couldn't help but laugh.At that moment, the desk phone rang. Louis picked it up, and the receptionist's voice echoed from the other end, "Chairman, Mr. Smith wishes to meet you. He says it's a matter of utmost importance."Louis raised an eyebrow, already having a rough idea of Mr. Smith's purpose for coming today. He glanced at Mason and said, "Escort them to the chairman's guest room."After instructing the receptionist, Louis looked at Mason and asked, "Do you know who just arrived?"Mason tilted his
Louis slowly walked into his office. Behind him, he heard the desperate voice of Mr. Smith, saying, "Mr. Louis, please give us a chance..." Louis furrowed his brow slightly, noticing Leon standing at the office door. He immediately told him to inform the security guards restraining the Smith family members, "Keep them quiet. They seem to think this is a place to cause a scene." The security guards promptly silenced the Smith family members, swiftly escorting them away. Louis entered his office and turned around, noticing that Mason was still gazing at the departing figures of the Smith family. Louis couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Do you feel sorry for them? Are you getting soft?" Mason immediately turned to face Louis, wearing a pained expression. After a moment, he finally said, "It's just a bit ironic. Regardless, they will pay for daring to kill my mother." Mason paused momentarily, then bowed his head to Louis, saying, "May I take some time off? I want to witness t
