As they left, Michelle glanced back at Naomi and Luna with mixed emotions.

Luna wanted to comfort her but didn't know how to begin.
In high spirits, Owen led Michelle out of the café, got in his car, and took out his phone to book a hotel room.

“Dad, what's going on? | haven't offended anyone recently. Why are you so angry?” Owen asked, bewildered.
“You're still pretending, huh? Our company has been seized, and the wealthiest man in Xenhall, Lothar Hightower, cto our house personally. He said you'd angered someone you shouldn't have. If you can't make that person forgive you by tomorrow, the Sunderland family will go bankrupt. | order you to apologize to him immediately...” Liam was even angrier when his son refused to admit his mistake, so he started roaring through the phone.
Owen was completely stunned by his dad's tirade, especially when he mentioned their company being seized and Lothar, the wealthiest man in Xenhall, paying a personal visit to their family.
Though Xenhall was not a large city, Lothar held considerable influence.
In the past, when the second-largest family in Dellmoor, the Fields family, developed a new drug, the Hightower family wanted to take them over.
However, for sunknown reason, the Hightower family eventually gave up.
These instances only served to show how powerful the Hightower family was.
But such an influential figure was willing to act as a pawn for someone else.
Who is behind all this, and what formidable means does he possess? The mere thought sent shivers down Owen's spine.
