Chapter 23 Regret to death.

Mr. Odell rubbed his eyes hard, finally recognizing Berloff Reed.

Crack!

It was like a bolt of lightning struck Mr. Odell's head, leaving him completely stunned.

Wasn't this the new owner of the Global Tower, Mr. Berloff?

He must have lost his mind to dare to shout at Mr. Berloff!

Mr. Odell's face was filled with regret, and cold sweat covered his forehead. He quickly ran over to Berloff, nodding and bowing repeatedly.

"Mr. Berloff, I'm so sorry. I must have been blind not to recognize you immediately!"

Berloff smirked, giving Mr. Odell a half-amused, half-disdainful look.

"Is that so? Good to know!"

"I was really worried you might beat me up over Mrs. Moira here."

Slap! Slap!

Mr. Odell raised his hand and slapped himself twice.

"Mr. Berloff, I truly know I was wrong.Please, forgive me this time!"

The chubby Mrs. Moira was completely bewildered by the scene.

"Mr. Odell, what's going on?"

"Why are you apologizing to this pretty boy who lives off others?"

Her words made Mr. Odell so furious he could almost see stars.

How could Berloff Reed, who could spend billions to acquire the entire Global Tower, be a kept man? That woman from the Silk City Wood Family was way out of line!

"Shut your mouth!" Mr. Odell glared, pointing his baton menacingly at Mrs.Moira. "Mr. Berloff is the new owner of Global Tower. Stop spewing nonsense!"

Boom! The words hit Mrs. Moira like a thunderclap, making her vision go black and her head spin.

What? This handsome man was the new owner of Global Tower? Oh my goodness! How could this be?

The Silk City Wood Family was just a second-rate local family. Their entire family assets were only worth a few billion, which was nothing compared to the over two hundred billion value of Global Tower.

As a member of the Wood Family, offending the owner of Global Tower was practically a death wish.

Gulp! Mrs. Moira's eyes widened as she swallowed hard. Her chubby face turned ghostly pale with fear.

"Mr. Odell, is he really the new owner of Global Tower?" she stammered.

Mr. Odell raised his chin arrogantly and snorted, "Is there any doubt about it?"

"Even our Global Tower's manager, Jonathan, has acknowledged Mr. Berloff's identity. How could I be mistaken?"

Mrs. Moira shivered, looking at Berloff Reed with a face full of terror.

"Heh!"Berloff chuckled lightly, staring at Mrs. Moira with a playful expression.

"What now? Still thinking of finding someone to teach me a lesson and avenge your precious baby?"

Mrs. Moira quickly waved her hands, trembling as she said, "I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!"

What a joke!

Even the entire Wood Family was insignificant in front of Berloff Reed.

As a mere daughter-in-law of the Wood Family, how could she dare to act arrogantly in front of him?If the head of the Wood Family found out, he would surely beat her to death.

Berloff raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Since you don't dare, shouldn't you be apologizing to us now?"

"After all, you were the one who started the provocation and hurled insults at us."

"The worst part is, you even ordered this young man to attack me. Truly impressive!"

Mr. Odell, upon hearing this, was furious and roared, "Mr. Berloff, I had no idea this woman was so outrageous!"

"How about I just detain her and this pretty boy right now and notify the Wood Family to come and get them!"

Thud!

Upon hearing this, the plump Mrs. Moira dropped to her knees, crying and begging for mercy.

"Mr. Berloff, I'm sorry!"

"I didn't recognize your status. I won't dare to do this again. Please, forgive me this once!"

Berloff Reed nudged Finley beside him. "Just apologizing to me won't cut it. What about the person next to me?"

"Uh, Miss, it's all my fault. Please, be the bigger person and forgive me!"Mrs. Moira hesitated for a moment, then turned to Finley and started kowtowing, her face covered in tears and snot, looking utterly pitiful.

This scene left Finley with mixed emotions.

If Berloff hadn't been here today, Finley would have surely been bullied to death by this chubby Mrs. Moira.

What shocked Finley the most was that Berloff Reed turned out to be the new owner of Global Tower.

Oh my God!

Global Tower was a famous landmark in Silk City. In the entire country, its annual revenue ranked among the top ten in comprehensive commercial complexes.

Such a high-profile commercial property was actually under Berloff Reed's ownership. That was just mind-blowing!

No wonder Berloff Reed could afford a Koenigsegg worth over a hundred million dollars. Turns out, he's a billionaire.

Finley stared at Berloff, her emotions swirling.

It had been years since they last met, and she never expected her low-key and steady college classmate to become such a big shot.This young, handsome, super-rich guy was still single.

The thought of possibly becoming Berloff's girlfriend made Finley's cheeks flush, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Berloff noticed Finley's intense gaze and touched his face in confusion.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?"

Finley smiled sweetly. "Of course not. I just think you look incredibly handsome today."

"Haha, well, that's a given," Berloff replied smugly, waving his hand, making Finley giggle.As they chatted and laughed, the once arrogant Mrs. Moira was still kneeling on the ground, waiting for Berloff's decision.

Not far away, several onlookers widened their eyes in disbelief at the scene.

"Whoa, isn't that the rich and powerful Mrs. Moira kneeling on the ground?"

"Yeah, she's always been so arrogant. What's going on today? Why is she kneeling to a young man?"

"Tsk tsk, for a young man to scare Mrs. Moira like that, he must be someone really important."

The crowd buzzed with speculation about Berloff Reed's identity.

Seeing the growing number of onlookers, Berloff coughed twice and waved at Mrs. Moira.

"Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you today."

"Take your little darling and get out of here!"

At that moment, the young man who Berloff had knocked out earlier started to come to, looking dazed.

"Thank you, Mr. Berloff!"

Mrs. Moira, feeling as if she had been granted a pardon, bowed twice more to Berloff before struggling to her feet. She grabbed the handsome young man and hurriedly fled the scene.

"Alright, you all can leave too."

Berloff glanced at Mr. Odell, dismissing the security guards as well.

"Mr. Berloff!"

The beautiful saleswoman from earlier approached nervously, bowing deeply to Berloff.

"I'm sorry for not attending to you properly before. Please forgive me."

This was the owner of the Global Tower, after all. If Berloff got angry and complained to the Armani store owner, the saleswoman who had been watching the drama unfold would surely be fired.

Because of this, she regretted it deeply and was terrified that Berloff Reed would come after her.
