Chapter 169
“Congratulations. You finally got it right? Wayne raised an eyebrow and nodded at Lenore, who was staring down at her phone, seemingly typing a message. “Your kids really did cross Lenore.”
He paused for a moment. Though Silas hasn’t actually won her over yet, they’re probably headed that way, right? So we could consider ourselves friends he wondered.
His tone was rasiral, almos amiable.
Bryan glanced at Lenore. She was stunningly beautiful, but her clothes were cheap and looked far from high–end.
“How could such an entinary girl have the means to take down Devin and Fiona, and drag the entire Santos family into this? Bryan wondered.
Bryan’s expression darkened. “Mr. Faulkner, are you guys just toying with me?”
Silas lified his gaze, exuding an imposing presence. “Do you really think I have the time to toy with your
Silas was well–known in Denisille, yet he rarely made public appearances, maintaining an air of mystery.
No one had ever seen him in action, but rumors circulated about his ruthless and decisive methods

This was the closest Bryan had ever been to Silas, and he was taken aback by the piercing aura, his face turning pale.
Josiah helpfully pointed it out. “Your son just fell because he was too arrogant.”
Bryan’s attention shifted back to Lenore, still unable to believe it
Lenore looked up, her delicate features cold and dry. “He bet the Santos family against me and lost
The Santos family was one of the four great families in Denisville. No one had ever dared to be so audacious as to claim they had won the Santos family.
Bryan’s eyes darkened. If they truly offended you, I apologize on their behalf. The Santos family can offer you st
some compensation”
“Only five items left in the auction. If you keep wasting time, you’ll miss out, Lethe called out arrogantly from the side.
Lenore’s blood boiled inside, but she shouted to Michael, who was waiting outside the door, “Take the men and collect the debt.”
Michael respectfully replied, “Yes, ma’am.*
Silas‘ eyes turned dark. “Chuck, you go with them.
Chuck immediately understood and followed them out
Lethe sprang up from the soda, asking Lenore for permission, “Lenore, I’m going too
It was more than just wanting to join the fun.
Lenore lazily agreed without stopping her. Lethe was ecstatic, rubbing her hands together and shaking her colorful twintails as she ran out
Bryan couldn’t believe they would dare to force the Santos family. He stared at Lenore. “The compensation from the Santos family would be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Don’t be too greedy”
In his eyes, Lenore was only acting so arrogant because of Silas. If it weren’t for Silas being there, Bryan wouldn’t even consider offering any compensation
Bryan didn’t notice that Lenore had the authority to command Michael, the head of the First Floor
Lenore completely ignored Bryan as if she hadn’t heard him, and continued to look at her messages.
Charles asked again about the promotional poster
Siren mentioned that since she had returned to Stormwings Operatives and held a meeting, the other team leaders had been unusually quiet recently, quiet in a way that made it seem like they were plotting something big.
Joshua had also sent a message, asking if Lenore wanted to participate in the biology competition question, setting and inquiring about the progress of the experiments. He also asked for funding at the end.

Lenore replied to each one
Bryan, feeling ignored, his face turned even darker. You’ve kidnapped my son and daughter. That’s illegal imprisonment.”
Josiah raised an eyebrow and laughed. “This is the First Floor.
The unspoken rule was that it the First Floor took action, it was because they had crossed a line.
Everyone was well aware of this unwritten rule.
Bryan was left speechless.
“The next item up for auction is a natural ruby. It can warm the body when worn by those with a cold constitution. The starting bid is 200 thousand dollars” The voice of the hostess downstairs came up again.
silas eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the electronic screen in front of Bonnie.

15 million dollars.”
Listening to the continuous bidding from downstairs, Silas pressed the bell in the private room. His deep voice was amplified and projected out.
