Chapter 2257

    "Is that really what you think? Look at me, and then look at yourself. Do you truly believe that if you were in my shoes, you could achieve the same level of sess as me?" asked Lucas bluntly. The reason he had achieved his sess was because he had put in efforts far beyond the average person.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    When he started his own business, he did not even use the Rivera name. People did not even know his real surname, so how could he have leveraged his family''s influence?


    After sessfully establishing his ownpany, he returned to his family to inherit the family business, and he further increased thepany''s stock value with his ownpany.


    Not every heir or heiress could achieve what Lucas aplished. He dared to speak that way because he had the confidence to back it up. Through his own hard work, he had garnered so much influence in the business world that a word from him could cause ripples across industries.


    Thus, Lucas looked down on men like Rnd, who only knew how to get what he wanted through hurting vulnerable women. He would not have bothered talking to him if it were not for the need to find out who harmed Melody. He sincerely believed that men like Rnd were the scum of the earth.


    "Bullsh*t. Stop ttering yourself. If I had that kind of wealth, I could definitely achieve the same sess."


    Rnd cussing out at Lucas was probably the highlight of his entire life. In ordinary circumstances, he would not even dare to raise his head to look at a prominent figure like Lucas, let alone speak so boldly. However, with Penny as his hostage, he felt empowered to be as audacious as he wanted.


    Monica was on edge, fearing any slip-up that might harm Penny. She dared not provoke Rnd and tried to smooth over the situation, saying, "Rnd, don''t listen to him. Everyone''s circumstances are different, so it''s only normal that not everyone can be as outstanding as him."


    Rnd simply sneered. The realization hit him-could it be that Tracy had never taken him seriously all these years because hecked power and influence?


    In his mind, all women were the same. They might say soothing words like Monica, but would always choose men like Lucas over him any day.


    "Drop the act! Do you think I don''t know that you actresses only have eyes for those with money and power? You actresses are such simps for them that you even think their farts are like perfume!" Since entering the entertainment industry, Monica had never experienced such an insult. Under the cover of the night, she felt her face heating up with embarrassment.


    "No! You''re wrong. I''m not like that! Don''t lump all women together!" Monica pleaded, but Rnd paid no attention as he dragged Penny away.


    "Don''t you want a chance to soar to sess? The opportunity is right in front of you now," chimed Lucas in a deep voice.


    Rnd was taken aback. Despite his apparent resentment towards the wealthy, he would dly ept if money was offered to him.


    "What... What do you mean? Are you trying to buy me off?"


    Lucas nodded. "Yes, it''s exactly as you say. I''m offering you a chance now. I can fulfill whatever you desire. But in exchange, you have to let go of the woman in your hands." Lucas presented an exceptionally tempting choice before Rnd.


    The words Lucas had spoken earlier echoed in Rnd''s mind. Would Tracy still look down on him if he were powerful and influential? The answer seemed obvious.
