All Chapters of The Richest Man in Metropolis is My Backer!: Chapter 321 - Chapter 330

I was speechless.Thankfully, Soren hadn't actually done that. If he had, I wouldn't have been able to face Jamie when I returned to the office—unless, of course, I found myself a new manager.At that thought, I muttered regretfully, "I shouldn't have told you that if I'd known how you'd react. It's not like there's a big chance I'll run into your friend again, and you wouldn't have known about it anyway...""Excuse me? Were you saying something?""I said I finally found one of your flaws… You're petty and jealous!" I turned to face Soren, enunciating each word deliberately just to provoke him.Instead of getting angry, he simply smiled and said, "I'm sure I have plenty more flaws. You'll discover them sooner or later.""Why not just tell me now so I can avoid them?""Nope, not a chance."Our childish banter continued until even we couldn't take ourselves seriously anymore."Alright, enough of that. Time to take you home." Soren changed the subject effortlessly, planning my sc

Cherry called before I could finish."Tay-Tay, Ms. Thompson is here to see you.""Tell her I'm occupied today and won't be returning to the office," I replied calmly. "She should leave.""She's refusing and is sitting in your office. Should I call security to escort her out?""That won't be necessary. Let her stay." I doubted the guards could handle Cameron. If things escalated, they'd only disrupt the company's operations."Okay…" Cherry sighed before hanging up.I didn't dwell on it. Cameron only ever came for money, and I had no intention of giving her any—it would only lead to endless demands.As I turned to leave, I unexpectedly ran into someone familiar… an enemy, in fact.Candy stood arm in arm with an older woman who bore a striking resemblance to her—likely her mother.Two sharply dressed car salesmen flanked them, enthusiastically showcasing the various models on offer.So, they were here to buy a car too. What a coincidence."Taylor?" Candy's surprise was evident

Soren remained calm, showing no hint of guilt as he explained, "There's nothing between us. It's our grandfathers who are friends."Noticing my confusion, he continued, "Commander Frieze was one of my grandfather's most trusted subordinates back in the day. That's why my grandfather recommended him for promotion to military district commander."Remember when I mentioned my older brother? He's the orphan of my father's comrade and has been in the military ever since. For years, he served under Commander Frieze, who mentored him."My brother is highly capable, earning two first-class merits—though one nearly cost him his life. Two months ago, Commander Frieze retired and has been visiting my grandfather frequently. They play chess and reminisce about the past."I listened intently, my curiosity about Soren's older brother growing stronger after hearing about him again.At the same time, learning about Candy's family background left me uneasy. Her grandfather had once been a military

I had already consulted Ace about the matter, so I had a rough idea of what was happening. Still, Cameron's words caught me off guard."Is Harry really going to be released already? That was fast!" I exclaimed.Seeing my confusion, she explained, "He won't live much longer if he doesn't get out soon!"I followed her lead and replied coldly, "Why waste medical resources on him if he's already on the verge of death? You'd only be prolonging his suffering.""Taylor! How could you say something like that?!" Cameron's voice rose sharply. "He's your father! You wouldn't even be here without him!""Honestly, if I had a choice, I'd rather not have been born than have a sperm donor as inhumane as him," I shot back without hesitation.Cameron's lips trembled with anger, her eyes reddening as she struggled to respond.The hatred I had buried for so long resurfaced, and I could no longer hold back. "When my mom had cancer and couldn't afford chemo, I begged you! Do you remember what you sai

My eyes narrowed slightly in surprise at his gesture—I hadn't expected him to remember that incident.But honestly, I never cared about missing out on a cup of hot chocolate.I gave a polite smile and declined. "Thanks, but I don't drink anything unless I know where it came from."Edward's face instantly hardened, turning ice-cold. He clearly understood the hidden meaning in my words.I withdrew my gaze and flicked my hair. "Let's go. They're going to close soon if we drag this out any longer."We went inside and sat down to wait after getting our number.Edward kept staring at me, obviously wanting to talk.Before he could say anything, my phone suddenly rang. I stepped away to answer it.It was Soren.I suddenly remembered that I'd forgotten to tell him I was heading out that afternoon and that he didn't need to pick me up after work."Hello?""Are you leaving work at the usual time today, Taylor?" Soren's voice was gentle, laced with concern.I hesitated briefly. "Um… I
