All Chapters of The Richest Man in Metropolis is My Backer!: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Soren hadn't drunk much and was still conscious, but his face had already started to turn slightly red. His eyes also glistened with a new intensity."Do you still want to spend some time with your former coursemates?" Soren asked me when he noticed the crowd beginning to leave, some still chatting with their friends.My heart raced as I looked at him. "I need to go back to my table to collect my stuff.""Okay, go ahead. I've still got some things to take care of, but I'll call you when I'm ready to leave later."Once again, I insisted, "I can go back home myself if you're busy. You don't need to trouble yourself.""It's no trouble," he replied. "I'm just going to spend some time with my coursemates."Soren looked straight into my eyes with a faint smile as he asked, "Are you worried I might do something unthinkable because I'm drunk?"My face flushed instantly, and I shook my head. "No, I know you're not that kind of person."His smile grew wider as he stared at me even more i

I got into the car after saying that, with Amanda following behind me.Soren had moved to the other side of the door to give Amanda and me enough room to sit, putting some distance between himself and Edward.Unexpectedly, he leaned forward slightly and said, "Kennedy, do yourself a favor and don't do anything you might end up regretting later."I was shocked to hear this from Soren!It may have sounded like friendly advice, but it could easily be mistaken for a threat!Yet, Soren delivered it so nonchalantly and politely that it still felt surreal to me.Amanda was also a bit taken aback, but she turned to look at me with a pleasantly surprised expression.I had no response to that, so I figured it was better to keep my mouth shut.Soren's car was so spacious that there was still plenty of room left with the three of us inside.Besides, Amanda didn't deliberately push me toward Soren like his sister had.Even so, Soren had such a commanding presence that I could still feel m

My love for him seemed to be racing out of control in that dark, quiet night, just like his speeding car.I never once thought I'd be able to fall in love with another man so quickly, especially after the traumatic experience I'd endured in my past relationship. But all I knew was that I was willing to be like a moth to a flame if it were Soren.Unfortunately, as perfect as he was, and despite my deep infatuation with him, I was too afraid to face my feelings.I didn't know how long I had been in a trance, but suddenly I heard Soren's soft voice break the silence in the car."Your heart's beating really fast," he commented.I snapped back to reality and looked at him, but he had already turned away."You're awake," I said, trying to move my stiff shoulder as my heart continued to race."Yes, I am…" Soren responded.Suddenly, he pulled me closer with his free arm and held me in his embrace.My heart skipped a beat as I realized he wasn't just holding my body, but my soul.My b

Huh? Edward was in critical condition?But he had just participated in the academy's centennial, and he seemed perfectly fine when he harassed me.And now he was close to dying?I quickly regained my composure and calmed myself, realizing that his death had nothing to do with me."How am I supposed to save him? I'm not a doctor," I retorted. "Plus, we're no longer together—there's nothing left between us.""You can save him, Taylor. He needs a blood transfusion, but there's not much RH-negative blood in the blood bank."It's going to be too late for him to wait for someone else's donation, but you can save him… You're the only one!" Sally's tone was much more humble now, a stark contrast to her cursing last night.Yet, a chill ran down my spine.Their attitude toward me had only changed because they realized I was useful to them—this time, as a blood donor."You're his family, so one of you must have the same blood type. You don't need to beg me this badly," I rebuked."Edwar

"Are you alright, Mr. Young?" I asked. "You should get to the hospital immediately."Frowning, I continued giving instructions to a staff member. "Send Mr. Young to the hospital."Jamie stood up, his concern clear as he looked at me. "Can you handle this? I heard she's your stepmother, so I didn't dare call the police.""It's fine, I'll call the police. You should go get your wound treated," I replied, already grabbing my phone to make the call.But Cameron lunged at me, grabbing my arm desperately. "You can't call the police, Taylor! Miles ran over someone and is in jail—who's going to bail him out if I get thrown in too?"Without missing a beat, I said, "What does his mess have to do with me?""He's your brother! You can't just cut that tie so easily. Call a lawyer!" she demanded.Cameron, for once, was smart, trying to use the law against me."How am I supposed to get him out when I'm not a lawyer?""You can do it—you've got the money! I'm not asking for much. The victim's
