Chapter 56 “My brother is David!” Lily muttered indignantly.
“David? Is there a David among you?” The employee turned to the security guards and asked.
The security guards shared a look and replied, “No.”
Marie’s heart shuddered when she heard Lily’s claim about being David’s sister.
‘Is that the same David that saved me yesterday?’
Just as she was about to say something, Lily spoke up again.
“A man called Andy came and took my brother with him just now! He said that they were going to discuss
business, and they went to the third floor.”
Andy?
Everyone in the crowd was shocked.
‘There was only one Andy in Lake City, and it was Mr. Lewis.
‘He had the highest social standing here in Lake City.
‘If her brother is discussing business with Andy, then her brother must also be someone prominent as
well!
The employees and Tristan started to feel uneasy.
Mr. Lewis was not someone they could afford to offend.
Mr. Lewis was well known here in Lake City.
If he saw you as his friend, he would treat you undeniably well.
However, if you were his enemy, then he would do everything in his power to get rid of you for good.
There had been too many little businesses in Lake City that had fallen victim to his various schemes to
count.
As such, a saying began to circulate in Lake City.
“It’s alright if you can’t be Andy’s friend, but never be his enemy.”
Tristan’s train of thought stopped here.
He started breaking out in a cold sweat.
His net worth of a few hundred million was nothing in comparison to Mr. Lewis, and the latter could easily
make him bankrupt at any moment.
Just at this moment, David and Andy had finished discussing their business and come downstairs.
David’s eyes swept the area and, instead of finding Lily, he saw a large group of people gathered in the
middle of the hall.

David quickly walked over and broke through the crowd. Only to see Lily currently being grabbed by the
arm by a young woman with heavy makeup. Lily looked like she had been wronged. She tried but could
not seem to struggle out of the other woman’s grasp, and the corners of her eyes were slightly wet.

“Lily!” David shouted.
“Dave!”
Jessica’s grasp loosened instinctively when she heard Lily call out for David, allowing Lily to run over and
hug David.
“It’s alright now! It’s alright,” David comforted.
“What’s going on?”
Andy walked over to ask.
‘It’s over!’
Tristan felt his head swell when he saw Andy, and his feet almost gave out, causing him to almost fall
onto the ground.
The employee wiped off the cold sweat that beaded on his forehead and relayed the general situation to
Andy quietly.
“Who is he?” Andy pointed at Tristan and asked after listening to the employee.
“Mr. Lewis, that’s Tristan Collins, the owner of Auspicious Clouds Real Estate!” Someone from the crowd
suddenly said.
“Mr. Collins, was it? You have three days to gather your things and get out of Lake City. Either leave
yourself, or I’ll make you leave.”

Then Tristan slapped Jessica across the face. The strength behind the slap had Jessica falling to the
floor, confused and dazed.
Meanwhile, Tristan fell to his knees and started to beg.
Dying would hurt less than leaving Lake City in three days,
He might have a net worth of a few hundred million, but it was all in terms of assets. He would not mind
leaving Lake City if he had a few hundred million in cash, since he could just start a business from
scratch again.
His fixed assets worth a few hundred million would have to be sold at a much lower value if he had to
liquidate them within three days.
Not to mention that no one would dare to buy his assets since Mr. Lewis had made his distaste clear
tonight!
He had also invested quite a bit of money into a recent project as well. If he left now, he would have to
pay a lot of money for breaking the contract.
It was very likely that he was going to go from the owner of a big business worth a few hundred million,
to a bankrupt man owing a bunch of debt. He still had a few mistresses and two illegitimate sons to take
care of!
