Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 351 You Deserve It

"What's it called? You brought this on yourself."

Burl quickly sent a message to apologize, but a glaring exclamation mark appeared on the screen, with a small line of text below it: [You are not friends yet. Please add their friend.] This time he was really screwed.

Sylvester had removed him as a friend.

Goy stood by, laughing mercilessly.

At this moment, Charles came over with Lela. "Hello, Mr. Cain, Mr. Gomez; it's been a long time since we've seen each other."

Lela looked at Burl and Goy, mimicking Charles' words with a smile. "Mr. Cain, Mr. Gomez, hello!"

Burl forced a pained smile while Goy greeted Charles normally.

Then he turned to Lela and said in a surprised tone, "Lela, I didn't expect you to be Sophia."

Charles glanced at the group, sensing something odd, and then said, "Sophia, you know each other?"

Lela nodded in agreement but didn't go further.

They all sat down.

By this time, the main influential figures and business tycoons of Greafury City had all arrived.

The host began to take control of the event, and the financial summit officially started.

The keynote speeches generally revolved around reviewing the past, seizing the present, and looking to the future.

It was boring.

Burl never liked these kinds of events, and this time, he came only because he couldn't resist the enthusiastic invitation.

He sat next to Lela, looking at her with a face full of resentment, and then whispered, "Lela, I'm screwed because of you."

Lela glanced sideways at Burl and said with a smile on her lips, "Burl, you brought this on yourself. Who told you to send the photo to Sylvester?" Burl's eyes widened. "You knew I took a photo of you?"

Lela said, "I also knew you sent it to Sylvester."

Burl said, "Then why didn't you stop me? Aren't you afraid Sylvester would get jealous?"

At this moment, it was time for the entrepreneurs to start their speeches. Antolin was walking up to the stage to deliver his speech, praising the Harrison Group.

Lela lifted her gaze to look at Antolin's earnest demeanor, smirking as she nonchalantly said, "Burl, you made up your mind, so I can't stop you. Besides, you might not know Sylvester well; he gets jealous, but not just of anyone." Charles, feeling a bit down, lifted his phone to use the screen as a mirror.

In the mirror, he was very handsome.

He was wealthy.

He thought, 'Why am I not worth Sylvester's jealousy?

'Wait!'Sylvester?

'The leader of the Gomez family! He is said to be very impressive. In our generation, he is a role model, and even some older people has to follow his orders. 'What is his relationship with Sophia?'

With a certain possibility in mind, Charles was as shocked as he was by the fact that Sophia was a high school student.

Burl looked exasperated, but he quickly shrugged it off because he knew Sylvester wouldn't really do anything to him.

It dawned on him belatedly that Lela had just called him in the sweetest tone imaginable, and it made him ecstatic. "Lela, you sounded so sweet just now. Say it again for me." Burl embodied the carefree gentleman image, sporting the look of a handsome rogue.

Lela tapped her slender fingers on the armrest of the couch, smiling at his words. Her voice was clear and cool. "Sure! Next time, I'll make sure to call you in front of Sylvester..."

Burl pleaded, "Oh my god! Spare me, please."

At that moment, Antolin finished his last sentence on stage and turned to look at Charles in the guest seat. "Lastly, our company is very eager to collaborate with the Starlit Group and Sophia. Our silk will surely be offered at the lowest prices." Antolin was already sketching out plans in his mind, thinking, 'Partnering with the Starlit Group will definitely elevate my company's status. Who says I won't find more collaborators in the future?'
