“Honey, isn’t it just being expelled from the family? Believe me, I will apany you to make aeback and make your grandmother and everyone in the Lowe family regret it!” L felt a bit frustrated seeing Miranda like this.


    Shaking her head, Miranda looked at L with her beautiful eyes and asked seriously, “L, is family really that fragile? Why did things turn out like this when we’re all supposed to be one big happy family?”


    L shook his head and replied earnestly, “Of course not! Even if your parents were also expelled from the family along with you, they never once med you. And Mason has been by your side throughout everything.”


    At this point, a self-deprecating smile appeared on L’s face as he continued speaking. “Think about me and Nora. How lucky are youpared to us?”


    Hearing these words made Miranda pause for a moment as she looked at the man in front of her with mixed emotions.


    Yes, after all, wasn’t L betrayed by his own wife?


    And Nora was abandoned by her own mother without any hesitation.


    These were just pieces of information that Miranda had discovered about their pasts before. As someone who grew up privileged in the Lowe family hierarchy, she didn’t really feel anything towards them.


    But now she couldn’t help but feel empathy towards both of them.


    “L! I suddenly want to go visit where you used to live. Can you take me there so we can clear our minds?” With tears welling up in her eyes slightly, Miranda walked up to him and gently stroked his chiseled face.


    …


    That afternoon!


    L and Miranda strolled unknowingly to the southern outskirts of Ednd. This area had cheapernd, so many factories were established here, butpared to the industrial park on the west side of the city, it was not as developed.


    At this moment, they arrived at the gate of a “Maple Leaf Food Factory”. Looking at this factory, L’s eyes showed a hint ofplexity.


    “This factory used to be mine. Later I sold it to someone else for 100k dors in order to treat Nora’s illness! But that guy was quite particr. I asked for 80k dors initially but he knew my situation and gave me 100k dors!”


    Even now when he talked about it, L still smiled with some bitterness. Not only because of his financial difficulties at that time but also because of human rtionships!


    In fact, L’s first choice was to sell it to his former friend and also the “production manager” Theo Taylor in this factory. However, Theo actually took advantage of him when he needed money by lowering the price down to 40k dors which made L angry.


    Therefore, L looked for someone else!


    “Oh? There are still such righteous people?” Miranda raised her eyebrows and asked.


    “Yes! How about this factory? With some renovations and equipment upgrades, it could be a pharmaceutical nt! Would you like me give it over you manage?” L asked.


    Miranda’s beautiful eyes flickered. She had originally wanted to refuse, but looking at L’s sincere and eager gaze, she nodded involuntarily.


    “Is this you helping me make aeback? Then I’ll take it!” she said.


    “Haha, great!” Lughed.


    He then dialed the phone number of the current owner of the factory, a man named Oscar Stark.


    L knew that the factory made around $70k in profit each year and was worth far more than just 100k dors. Buying it for 500k dors wouldn’t be a bad deal at all. The only reason why L had wanted to sell it for $80k was because he needed money urgently. So when L spoke with him on the phone this time, he directly offered to buy back his own factory for 1 million dors and even paid him 500k dors as a deposit in advance.


    Oscar wasn’t too keen on selling initially, but after hearing that price tag, he couldn’t resist anymore.


    “It’s settled! He said he’lle over this afternoon to handle the paperwork and use your name,” L said after hanging up the phone.


    “Oh…” Miranda nodded slightly. She wanted to say that she could pay for buying out the factory herself but swallowed her words when she thought about how much help L had given her already. Besides, he seemed pretty wealthy now anyway.


    After taking advantage of the situation several times, Miranda had grown ustomed to it. Just then, an Audi A6 pulled up beside him and hispanion.


    “Hey, isn’t that L? What are you doing here?” A young man stepped out of the car and teased L.


    In the passenger seat emerged a woman wearing fis stockings and a short skirt. She too looked at L with disdainful eyes.


    “Well well well, if it isn’t our boss! Or should I say our former boss!” she sneered. “I heard you’re so broke now that you’re selling your kidney? Tsk tsk tsk…”Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    L’s face darkened upon seeing these two individuals. The young man was none other than his so-called friend, Theo! And the woman in fiss was Natalia Moore, the ounting manager at his old factory.


    Back when L had achieved some sess, he hadn’t forgotten to lend a helping hand to his friend Theo by arranging for him to work at his factory as production manager with a monthly sry of 5, 000 dors.


    But Theo had actually stabbed him in the back!


    As for Natalia – this finance manager who once tried to seduce L but he hadn’t been moved by her advances since he was devoted to udia back then.


    And now that they met again after all these years… this was how she treated him?


    “Hehe, Theo, Natalia, long time no see!” L thought to himself that they had actually gotten together. They were really a pair of scums.


    “Pfft! Who said it’s been a long time? I’m talking to you, Crazy. What are you doing here? Still obsessed with this factory?”


    “Or do you want to borrow money from me? Seeing as we used to have a good rtionship, I happen to have five dors in my pocket. Take it and don’t thank me, haha…” Theo took out a five-dor bill from his pocket and threw it directly at L’s face.


    But then his eyes fell on Miranda and he couldn’t help but show some admiration and desire, “Oh hey, is this your friend? She’s pretty… Listen beautifuldy, my buddy here is a broke-ass loser. Don’t let him fool you!”


    He had tried to buy the factory when L was desperate for money before but failed.


    So he hated L in his heart.


    Meeting again was an opportunity for him to humiliate him mercilessly.


    “Yeah, this poor guy won’t tell you that this factory used to be his right? He sold it ages ago.” Natalia also sneered sarcastically.


    She felt unfair seeing such a beautiful woman by L’s side after failing at seducing him before when he wasn’t down on his luck yet.


    “I’m sorry but this factory still belongs to my husband.”


    “He could sell it back then, and he can buy it back now!” Miranda said coldly, staring at the two people with a look of disgust and anger.
