“Hello, allow me to introduce myself. I’m Thiago Hayek, CEO of the Eccho Group’s Ravenridge branch.” Thiago, who sat acro Leander, suddenly rose and extended his hand for a handshake.

Holding his wine glass, Leander stared into the distance and ignored Thiago.

Thiago frowned at his lack of response. “When I offer my hand, the least you could do is shake it. It’s called manners. Or am I worthy of your attention?”

Leander’s attention was elsewhere. He gazed past Thiago into the depths of the clouds far away.

Six figures looming in the cluster of dark clouds were slowly approaching them.

“They still came, after all,” he murmured. He shrugged with a carefree smile before looking away.

“What are you murmuring about? I’m talking to you!” Watching Leander mutter to himself like he wasn’t even there fueled Th

anger.

His family owned the Eccho Group, and he was the CEO of its Ravenridge branch. He was young, successful, talented, and rich even won Mornwick’s Top Ten Rising Youths.

He was the Prince Charming every woman could ever dream of.

He usually hung out with millionaires, but he would only personally make acquaintances with billionaires. Among Mormwick’s younger generation, he only personally toasted Josiah, the kingpin of the underground world.

Tonight, he personally made a toast to Leander and even offered a handshake, yet Leander ignored him. There was no nod or a eply.

Even a man of Josiah’s status smiled at him and finished the drink. He didn’t understand why Leander thought ignoring hum good idea,

‘Oh, I heard you all right.” Leander didn’t even look at Thiago. “So what? Just because you reach out for a handshake doesh Th have to return it. Must I introduce myself just because you did so?”

scornful smile touched his lips. “We’re at the Sitwell family’s event. I’m a friend of the hosts and you’re their Courteous enough to return your toast. It’s only thanks to the occasion today that you can come near me,

I can bring you down for those disrespectful lines you said to me earlier. Don’t push your tuck”

Thiago froze, his face shocked.

de didn’t expect Leander’s silence to lead to such a bombshell Leander’s arrogant and relentless attitude wasn expected.

Usually, one person toasting to another person would lead to exchanging pleasantries. Even if he provoked another person, a decent person would let it go However, Leander didn’t play by the rules.

It caught Thiago unprepared.

After a beat of silence, the friendly smile stipped from Thiago’s face, and he scowled.

Since Leander decided to drop the cordiality, he wouldn’t hold back either.

What he needed was a chance to vent.

“You’re talking big.” His smile didn’t reach his eyes. “I saw you sitting alone, so I thought we could share a drink and befriend each other. It’s fine if you don’t appreciate it, but why would you threaten me?”

Leander lounged in his seat and remained composed. “You weren’t trying to befriend me. You simply can’t stand how close Yvette is to me. Don’t dress it up like it’s a noble motive. You don’t deserve to know my name. Now, I’m not in the mood to deal with you. So, scram.”

It was Leander’s first time meeting Thiago, but a man like him only needed a look and a read to see right through Thiago.

“Are you seriously chasing me away?” Anger flared in Thiago’s eyes, and he sneered. “I don’t know who you are, but aren’t you a little full of yourself to boss me around? Don’t think that being the Sitwell family’s friend gives you the right to do as you please. Eccho Group has raised billions and ranks fourth among the Top Ten Companies in Mornwick.

“I’m one of the Top Ten Rising Youths of Mornwick and the CEO of Eccho Group’s Ravenridge branch. Josiah of Jeff Enterprises Mornwick branch is a close friend of mine. How are you going to strip me of my power and tell me off? You don’t know who you’re messing with.”

Leander didn’t deign argue. He simply raised one finger. “You have ten seconds to get out of my sight before I change my mind. rg pretend none of this happened.”

“You? As if” Thiago burst out laughing. Leander’s words failed to intimidate him.

He didn’t know Leander’s background, but he had an influential and wealthy family. Nobody could top him in connections, money and status in Mornwick. Leander’s threat meant nothing to him.

The commotion drew nearby guests‘ attention. Endimion Hayek noticed his son, Thiago, was confronting Leander/ Still, he didn’t intervene and simply watched the scene unfold.

Every man was proud. Even if Thiago made a scene today, Endimion was confident he could settle the mess.

In Mornwick, Thiago only felt threatened by certain underground world figures and business tycoons.

“Listen carefully. I’ll wait right here. Bring on every connection you’ve made. I would like to see any of them make me yieit

He towered over Leander and looked down at the young man.

Leander said nothing. He kept his finger held up as if calculating time.
