Sophia was criticizing them in her heart. On the other side, Nathan was clinging onto her, as if afraid that he might lose her. Earlier, Michael told him that if Joel seduced Sophia, Nathan wouldn’t have a mother anymore! She was holding onto Nathan tightly as well while exclaiming in her trembling heart, Nate, I will protect you! I won’t let the Devil lay a finger on you!
Suddenly, she heard the sound of leather shoes tapping against the ground in rapid succession. The door to the main entrance of the restaurant opened again before three men walked into the restaurant—one after another. As soon as they entered, the whole restaurant felt dazzling and brilliant as if they exuded an unusual aura.
Michael walked into the restaurant and saw the meticulously prepared but half-eaten candlelight dinner. However, he did not stop walking and made his way to the table like a gentleman instead. “It seems like I’m not that late. Server, I’d like to have the menu, please.”
Sophia was delighted to see her savior and walked toward Michael with excitement. Sob, sob, sob… Save me! Joel almost took advantage of me earlier! Now that the real master is here, you all should air your grievances and resolve it among yourselves.
Joel looked exceptionally upset and it seemed that his carefully disguised facade was on the verge of crumbling. In the end, he sucked it up while forcing the corners of his lips to curl upward into a stiff smile.
“I didn’t expect you guys to show up tonight.” What is going on? Didn’t I issue a command for them to be barred from the building?! How did they manage to enter the ground floor of the restaurant?
Harry was just behind Michael. Having grown up together with Michael, he had experienced firsthand the gratitude and grudges between Joel and Michael.
Once upon a time ago, when Michael hit rock bottom and was left with almost nothing, Joel had been cruel enough to snatch the last precious thing that the former had. Once an outstanding genius in all aspects was to show up in a family, the said person would become their peers’ worst nightmare—this was especially true for the second best.

who grew up together and geniuses tend to cherish each other. Hence, it was inevitable for them to have other feelings apart from family affection and friendship. However, Michael is a playboy, so he has been sleeping around. In fact, he has more than one man on the side. After learning the truth, Joel broke up with him. However, he just couldn’t forget Michael because the more deeply in love you are with a person, the deeper your hate would be for them. Therefore, the two of them have embarked on a journey of love and destruction for more than a decade, which is why Joel does not have a girlfriend until now whereas Michael has a harem of numerous men and women. Yup, that must be it! Michael, the pervert, has gone overboard and he must have deeply hurt Joel. How can he say something as casual as ‘the more, the merrier’? It’s already tricky to maneuver a relationship when there’s
