The man scanned the room as if waiting for someone. But when no one appeared, he let out a breath and gently patted Blair’s hand. “A real man knows when to step back. Someone like you doesn’t deserve a woman like her. You should’ve disappeared after the breakup. But no, you show up here, causing trouble with my wife? Are you looking for a fight? Do you even know who I am?”

Maybe my calmness was too much for him because he immediately turned to the guards. “I’m Silas Delaney, General Manager of Ember Group! I’m here to discuss business with the young master of Delacourt Group. If you let this interruption continue, none of you will be able to pay the price! Throw this man out, now!”

At that, my face, which had been calm until now, finally betrayed a flicker of emotion. No wonder that voice sounded familiar.

Silas grinned smugly. “What? Have you heard of Ember Group? You know Delacourt Group? Then you’d better leave. You’re not in a position to offend us.”
