    off guard.


    He replied awkwardly, “I’m running a studio. Everything’s stable for now, but my ie isn’t as


    high as that. Still, I have the confidence to aplish that target someday.”


    As long as Mia’s brothers invested in his business, an ie of over a million dors would be a


    piece of cake.

    ude arched his brow, grinning. “Someday? Who are you giving empty promises, dude? You can


    approach my sister after you aplish that target. You’re unqualified at the moment.


    “How dare you confess to her when you don’t even meet the minimum requirement?” That was such a


    straightforward yet cruel remark.


    Mortified, Felix looked at Connor. “I genuinely like Mia. I can sacrifice my life for her. I did the same


    when she was kidnapped.


    “Money doesn’t mean everything, but sincerity does. As her brothers, I bet you guys wish she could


    marry for love instead of money, don’t you?”


    ude asked Connor. “This guy saved Mia before?”


    Connor nodded. “Yes, when she was kidnapped. He’s the owner of the studio Mia worked at.”


    ude’s gaze returned to Felix. “So, it was you.”


    Felix felt fortunate for taking the injury previously. “Yes, that was me. When Mia’s in trouble, I’m


    willing to do anything at all costs, including my life.”


    “We do owe you a favor for that.” Connor was wavered.


    However, ude didn’t think the same as he snorted at Felix. “Stop ying tricks with me. You simply


    bulldozed your way in and were taken down in one strike. They managed to kidnap Mia anyway. Did


    you have the power to get her out of there?”


    Another counterattack.


    Suppressing his displeasure, Felix remained gentle. “That was a sneak attack. I didn’t expect


    them to make a scene in this big city.


    “I’ll learn self–defense in the future to protect Mia’s safety. I will never let the same thing happen again!”

    “There you go again. You should stop your business. Someone who only knows making empty.


    promises ain’t fit for running a business.” ude was clearly treating Felix with contempt.


    He continued while looking his nose down at Felix. “And why do you only know how to make empty


    promises? Because you don’t have what it takes to turn them into reality. This won’t work.


    on us.”


    Felix broke in a cold sweat. His cowardly side fed off the guilt building in him, his eyes couldn’t


    meet ude’s,


    It was as if thetter could see through his schemes!


    Noticing that ude had crossed the line with his words, Connor cleared his throat. “Enough. We can’t


    deny that Felix had helped us out back there.”


    Felix’s eyes glittered in anticipation again. “Although I didn’t help out much, I’m serious about Mia


    “It is true that you didn’t help out much, but I still acknowledge your goodwill. At the same time. I


    think my brother has a point.


    “Felix, if you’re serious about Mia, show us your sincerity and stop making empty promises. It’s


    easier said than done.” Connor interrupted.


    Felix nodded in response. “I know. I will prove it to you one day.”


    At that moment, Mia had reached the gates. There standing by the road were those three men.


    She didn’t expect to see Felix there too. Her expression changed as she didn’t know what he was


    up to again.


    ude waved his hand at her. “Mia, over here!”


    She came up to them. The sight of the red roses repulsed her.
