NovelEnglishChapter 445
Arrogance Donald didn’t say no to that. After all, he loved playing the field and would never turn down
the beautiful women who threw themselves at him. Besides, why should he? As a matter of fact, he
had never known how to reject women. Some might say he was a passionate man who couldn’t say no
to the ladies. Others might say it was because he hadn’t been in love for a while, which made him all
the more desirable to the fairer sex. Donald and Lana were still chatting when the elevator sounded
again. The next second, a grim-faced Kyler and Hendrix marched out, only to become even angrier
when they saw Lana holding Donald’s hand. “Lana, what on earth are you doing?” Hendrix scolded.
“How can you do something so inappropriate in public?” Kyler, on the other hand, stared daggers at
Donald. There was only a fleeting murderous intent in the former’s eyes, but Donald caught it anyway.
Despite that, he merely glanced at Kyler and shrugged the matter off. Why wouldn’t he, especially

Alpha Armor, they still wouldn’t be his match, so why would he be afraid of someone like Kyler? Lana
sneered. “What’s wrong with holding hands with my man? Not only do I want to hold him, but I’m also
going to sleep with him tonight!” Most of the staff were so startled by that proclamation that they quickly
lowered their heads and pretended not to have heard any of it. Kyler’s face instantly blanched. Hendrix,
too, was livid with rage as he stormed up to Donald and pointed angrily at him.
“Oh, I’ve heard about you, Donald Campbell. I may not know where or how you found your cure, but I
know you’re not good enough for Lana! You’re just an abandoned child of the Campbell clan!” To his
surprise, Donald remained unfazed. Ah, it’s been a while since anyone’s called me that. “The
abandoned child of the Campbell clan, huh?” he said coldly. “Interesting, because I’ve come back to let
them have a taste of their own medicine.” Needless to say, Donald’s ego disgusted Kyler. Ha! Does he
really think he can abandon the Campbell clan? His arrogance is repulsive! “Oh, please, don’t make me
laugh!” he scoffed. “Did you just say you want to abandon the Campbell clan?” “That’s right. It doesn’t
matter how strong I am. So long as I cut all ties with the Campbell clan, wouldn’t that mean I’ve
abandoned them?” Kyler felt sick to his stomach. He sure has a wild imagination and an impressive
ability to self-soothe. What a fool! I despise him so much! Still feeling indignant, Kyler threw a glance at
Lana.
Oh, I wouldn’t mind even if I only had ten minutes of fun with a beauty like her. Then again, fighting
over a woman in public wouldn’t be appropriate for someone of my stature, would it? “Let’s forget about
this, Hendrix. We can talk about the oil fields and coal mines another time,” Kyler said before striding
out of the building. Hendrix was like a cat on hot bricks. After all, the entire matter affected how things
would change in the Collins family. Furthermore, he was the one in charge of the plan, so if talks fell
through, the consequences would be dire. “Just you wait and see, Lana,” Hendrix warned after glaring

to protect you!” With that, he took off and chased after Kyler. “Wait up, Kyler! Wait for me!” Lana
heaved a sigh and broke into a smile once again. “Come on, let’s get some food.”
Once they got to the restaurant, Donald only ordered a cup of coffee before looking up at the woman in
front of him. “Has something happened to the Collins family?” he asked. After taking a while to organize
her thoughts, Lana replied, “Our family may be one of the Ten Prestigious Families, but our position is
hanging by a thread. In short, we need to make some drastic changes fast. Otherwise, we’ll lose our
coveted standing.” “Hasn’t your family had that rank for five hundred years? Is it that easily
replaceable?” Lana shook her head. “Nothing lasts forever, and that includes the Ten Prestigious
Families. Any one of those families is replaceable. Have you heard of the Jenkins family from Jipsdale?
They’re in the chip-manufacturing business, and the superchips they design are some of the best in the
world. News is going around that they’re about to showcase their fifth-generation chip at the upcoming
fair. If everything goes according to their plan, they’d easily earn a spot in the Ten Prestigious Families
and displace us. Traditional businesses are no longer profitable.”
