“A few days ago, I saw an acquaintance at the airport. Guess who it was?” The man sitting across from Steve Burton said.

Steve slowly drew a tile, while scanning his own hand and asked nonchalantly, “who?”

After that, Steve slowly threw out a mahjong tile of two circles.

The man sitting across from Steve held the dice, rotated it slowly, and then said, “Ruby Gregory, she’s back…”

As soon as the man had spoken, Howard Coleman and Edward Woods, sitting on either side of Steve, both secretly gasped; for the past three years, Ruby Gregory’s name had been a forbidden topic, and no one had dared to mention it in front of Steve.

Howard and Edward instinctively turned their heads to look at Steve.

As expected, Steve’s eyes had already darkened.

Those who knew Steve were aware that his most dangerous moments were when his gaze turned gloomy.

Howard and Edward exchanged nervous glances, not daring to breathe as they silently worried for the man who had spoken.

The man sitting across from Steve seemed oblivious to the tense atmosphere and continued, “Mr. Burton, weren’t you and Ruby Gregory once very close? She has returned, didn’t she contact you?”

Steve’s face remained expressionless, as if he hadn’t even heard the man’s words. But just as he was about to draw another tile, he suddenly pushed the tiles in front of him over and said indifferently, “It’s getting late, you guys continue playing. The money left uncollected from my winnings can be considered compensation.”

With that, Steve got up and walked towards the door.

The female companion sitting next to him hurriedly stood up and followed.

Howard and Edward pushed aside their own female companions, grabbed their coats, and chased after Steve, but didn’t dare get too close, always maintaining a certain distance.

Steve walked out of the Capital Club, took out his car keys, unlocked the car, and pointed to the back door for the woman following him, saying, “Get in, I’ll take you home.”

Then, Steve coldly walked around the car and got into the driver’s seat.

Steve’s female companion hesitated for a moment before opening the passenger door and sitting down, even though she knew Steve had instructed her to get into the back seat.

Steve’s hand, which was fastening his seatbelt, paused slightly. He turned his head and said coldly to his companion, “Get out!”

The woman was startled by Steve’s sudden coldness, then put on a smile and cooed, “I want to sit in the front with you.”

“Out!”

The woman shuddered, realizing Steve was genuinely angry, and immediately tried to placate him, “I was wrong, I’ll get out now. Don’t be angry…”

“I said, out!” Steve repeated once more, scaring the woman into pushing open the car door and stumbling out.

Steve didn’t wait for her to steady herself before slamming the accelerator and speeding away.

Howard and Edward, who had followed closely behind, saw this and couldn’t help but shake their heads.

“Another woman has trespassed our brother’s forbidden topic.”

“How strange that our brother’s taboo doesn’t allow any woman to sit in his passenger seat.”

“Not just women, he doesn’t allow men either!”

Steve expertly drove through the streets of Ciawell, his car speeding fast. The car window was down, and the whistling wind made his ears ache slightly.
