Chapter 167
Devin’s face turned sickly pale as he listened to Lethe’s laughter and saw the door to Bestow swing open. He looked like he’d been hit by a truck.
“That black card must be fakeľ Fiona blurted out, still in denial.
Michael sted, clearly unimpressed. “Are you saying I can’t see straight!”
There were some places even the Santos family couldn’t mess with, and the First Floor was definitely one of them.
Devan tried to pull Fiona behind him, trying to save face, but he couldn’t hide the anger in his voice as he glared at Wayne and the others. “You guys totally set me up!“.
Wayne just shrugged, a smirk on his face. “Not our faili you got played. No one knew Lenore had this black card. Maybe you just can

Josiah chimed in, narrowing his eyes, “If it weren’t for all the drama you stirred up, Ms. Smedley wouldn’t have shown up. So, thanks to you two. finally got to see the real owner of Bestow”

Their words didn’t exactly hurt Devin, but they sure were insulting
He clenched his fists, veins bulging, but he couldn’t find the words to respond. He just shot a fierce look at Lenore, then dragged Fiona away.
But they hadn’t even made it out of the hallway when four bodyguards in black suits stepped in front of them.
Devin spun around, eyes blazing. “What the hell are you doing!”
Lenore let out a low chuckle, her smile wicked, “Do you think you can just walk out without keeping your promise? This is the First Floor, not a place you can leave on a whim.”
Devin had always been the one playing tricks on others. Today, he was the one g

Silas strolled over and stood beside Lenore, his eyes cold and his smile empty. “You messed with the wrong person”

Wayne scoffed, “What’s the matter, Devin? You and your sister promised to bet with your family’s fortune. Now that Bestow is open, you’re trying to back out!”
They’d be dreaming if they thought they could take four–fifths of the Shen family’s wealth.
Devin’s voice dropped low. We are not going in Bestow.”
Lenore raised an eyebrow, “Not going in? The door has already opened. Do you think you can just change your mind? Do you really think I’m good–tempered, or that the rules here are just for show?”
She stood there, her expression bold and arrogant, but there was no warmth in her smile. A chilling aura spread around her, making the atmosphere eerie and intimidating
Even Wayne and Josiah felt a bit uneasy. It was a sensation they’d only felt around Silas before.

Lethe laughed scornfully. “Mr. Santos, she emphasized the words, “are you failing to see the situation clearly, or are you just unable to accept that your family’s fortune is gone?”–
Devin’s eyes blazed with fury like he wanted to tear Lethe apart.
But Lethe didn’t flinch. “If you don’t fulfill your promise, I don’t think you’ll be leaving the First Floor today.”
Devin would never admit to the bet, nor would he give up his family’s fortune.
But Lenore never look back her words. She didn’t want to waste any more time on these two. She casually kicked Michael and said nonchalantly, “Send someone to collect the debt from the Santos family. Once the money’s paid, let them go“
Michael’s expression turned serious. “Yes”

Fiona’s foreign friend, who had witnessed this whole farce, now looked uncomfortable. He quickly distanced himself from Devin and Fiona, saying. “We’re here for the auction….
