But everyone who worked here <b>knew </b>exactly <b>how </b>terrifying the owner really <b>was</b><b>. </b>Forget Abraham–<b>even </b>Abel alone was enough to scare them senseless. And because of <b>that </b>fear, the entire staff was fiercely loyal to Abraham.
The moment Alex heard Louis words, his face went stiff; he stared at Louis in shock. Mr. Abraham? Is it the one I am thinking of?
The server awkwardly pushed the cash back toward Louis. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Louis.”
Louis frowned. Then I’ll go in myself.”
“You can’t.”
The server stepped in to block him. Louis shot him a sharp re.
“I can inform <b>him </b>for you,” the server <b>said</b>, “but you can’t force your way in.”
If he barged in, none of the staff here would make it out of this unscathed. Abraham was in today, meeting someone. Abel was here too
The server went over <b>and </b>quietly whispered into Abel’s ear. “Mr. <b>Abel</b>, Mr. Louis is here to s
see Mr. Abraham”
Abel’s face darkened <b>the </b>moment he heard Louis‘ name.
He nced over at Abraham, who sat not far away, facing an elderly man with snow–white hair. Abel’s tone was <b>icy</b>. “Tell him
to wait.
He’d tracked them down all the way here–if they refused to see him now, he clearly wouldn’t let it go.
The server nodded and left.
Abel nced back at Abraham and stepped forward,ing to stand behind him. “Mr. Abraham, Mr. Louis is <b>here</b>.”
Abraham didn’t respond. He lifted his teacup and calmly took a sip. His phone buzzed on the rattan table. A message from Ste hade in: “Abraham, what should I eat for lunch?”
It even came with a pitiful little emoji.
Even through the screen, Abraham could practically feel how sweet and obedient she was being. Ignoring Abel for now, he picked up his phone to reply.
But before he could type, <b>another </b>message came <b>through</b><b>: </b>“<b>Can </b>I eat with Tessa<b>? </b>
He’d originally intended to say he’d pick her up, but now that she’d mentioned Tessa, they’d probably already made ns.
So he replied with a single word: “<b>Okay</b><b>.</b>”
Then, he added: “No spicy food.”
Ste sent back another crying emoji.
The corners of Abraham’s lips lifted into a faint, indulgent smile..
“Be good,” he wrote.
Setting the phone down, he finally turned <b>to </b>Abel. “Let him wait.”
<b>“</b><b>Yes</b>, sir

Abraham raised his teacup again, speaking casually. “When have you ever seen me lose?”
“Not losing doesn’t <b>mean </b>you can’t. Just wait.”
“Hmm?”
“Derrick and Monroe–there’s a connection now.”
At those words, Abraham’s expression faltered, a sharp glint shing through his eyes. “Monroe?”
“Yeah. <b>You </b>know exactly what Derrick wants with Star. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have let Kelly pull that stunt. He’s been <b>trying </b>to track her down for years.<b>” </b>
But Ste <b>had </b>always been too good at hiding.
A cold aura spread from <b>Abraham’s </b>whole body. He set down his teacup, that dangerous gleam in his eyes growing stronger. A cold
He closed <b>his </b>eyes–dangerous, calcting
The <b>man </b>across from him, Alejandro, gave him a serious look. “That time… you meant to destroy himpletely, didn’t <b>you</b>?”
Abraham opened his eyes. They were crystal clear–and deadly.
Yes. He had intended to wipe Derrick outpletely.
“What’s left of the Tom family now?” Abraham asked.
There was nothing left. Whatever he’d done to them back then, it might as well have been total annihtion.
Alejandro replied, “There’s barely anything left, true. But you know Monroe’s got people in the Yalvoria underworld. If Derrick managed to connect with him, you’d better be careful.”
“if he dares set foot in Falvaria again, he’s dead.”
Last time, Derrick had managed to escape. If he hadn’t, he’d be dust by now.
Abraham ced another piece on the board.
It sealed off Alejandro’sst movepletely.
Alejandro <b>hadn’t </b>stood a chance to begin with, and <b>now </b>he waspletely cornered.
When it came to Derrick, there wasn’t much Alejandro could say. That punk had messed with the one person Abraham <b>would </b>never forgive anyone for touching.
“Marie called me yesterday asking where you were.”
Abraham frowned. “What for?”
“She heard you’d found Star and wants <b>to </b>visit. I told her to hold off–no need to get in your way while you’re disciplining
her
Abraham said nothing.
Outside, <b>Louis </b>finally <b>heard </b>that he <b>was </b>being told to wait–and instantly felt relieved. Being told to wait meant there was a chance they’d actually see me.
