?Chapter 534:


    “Let’s strike a deal first. If I help you win Christina’s heart, I get the new development project,” Ralphy said with a sly grin.


    “Deal.” Dn agreed without a second thought.


    Ralphy wasn’t surprised. When it came to Christina, Dn would give up anythingnd, deals, whatever it took.


    “Deal!” Ralphyughed, clinked his ss, and leaned in to whisper his n. As Dn listened, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper. “Are you sure this will work?” he asked doubtfully.


    “Rx! It’s foolproof!” Ralphy said with confidence.


    Dn stood, his face serious. “I’ll trust you—just this once.”


    “Wait, where are you going?” Ralphy asked, hurrying after him.


    “I’m going to try your n,” Dn said, already halfway out the door.


    “It’s the middle of the night! She’s probably asleep!” Ralphy called after him, frowning. Dn always seemed calm, but once his heart got involved, he couldn’t sit still. Charging off in the dead of night for a candlelit stunt? He was bound to stir trouble.


    As they stepped out of the private room, a suddenmotion broke out. Before Ralphy could make sense of it, a girl in a white dress ran straight into Dn’s arms.


    “Get her!” a rough voice shouted behind her—followed by a group ofrge men charging right at them.


    Dn’s eyes turned cold as the girl charged toward his arms. He stepped back and yanked Ralphy in front of him.


    The girl saw what he’d done. He had switched ces with Ralphy. She wanted to stop herself, but it was already toote. She clenched her jaw. Maybe getting close to Ralphy wasn’t such a bad idea after all.


    But Ralphy casually sidestepped her. And Dn, standing behind Ralphy, stepped aside too.


    With nothing to break her momentum, the girl tumbled forward and hit the floor hard. Her once sweet face twisted with fury from the humiliating fall and her failed plot of making contact with either of the two men. What was wrong with them? Had no one taught them how to treat a girl?

    “Dude, leave me out of this,” Ralphy said, shooting Dn a sharp nce.


    Dn shrugged. “A yboy like you scared of this?”


    Ralphy scoffed. “What gets on my nerves are those girls who act all cute and soft but then blow up when you won’t y boyfriend. They cling like chewing gum on a shoe.”


    Dn leaned against the wall,zy and unbothered. “I’m handing you the perfect chance to y hero.”


    The girl, still on the floor, gritted her teeth as she listened to them. She was seething. These two weren’t acting like gentlemen. They didn’t just stand there instead of helping her up—they made it feel like ying “hero” for her was a chore.


    At this point, a gang ofrge men stormed over and snapped at Dn and Ralphy, “Stay out of it, or we’ll snap your legs!”


    Dn’s voice was even and t. “Not my problem.”


    Theserge men paused. This wasn’t how the scene was supposed to go. The girl was part of the setup against these two wealthy men. Now they were thrown off.


    “Guess you know what’s good for you. Move it. You’re in the way,” one of the men sneered, pointing at Ralphy.
