The tinted windows shielded his expression, but the reporters pressing their faces against the glass irritated him.
He pressed his lips together as he adjusted his tie with a deliberate tug; his muscles bulged with the movement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mr. Salvador! It's reported that you collapsed in public and were hospitalized for several days. Is there something wrong with your health?" "If there's no issue, could you address the public to put their minds at ease?" "The stock price for Salvador Corporation fluctuated significantly when the market opened today.

"Damn it! Unbelievable!" lan slammed his fist against the car door in frustration. "Who had the nerve to leak news of your hospitalization to the press?" "Who else?" Justin's sharp, bloodshot eyes narrowed coldly.

"Mr. Salvador, your so-called righteous, saint-like brother has officially shown his true colors!" lan's voice was full of fury, an angry laugh escaping him. "I knew it!

As they made their way to the private elevator, a commotion erupted in the lobby.
"What's happening over there? Go check it out," lan ordered one of the bodyguards.
The bodyguard walked a few steps before bumping into three men heading their way. "This area is restricted. No unauthorized access is allowed," the bodyguard stated firmly. "Police." The voice was clear, commanding, and eerily familiar.
