Abandoned Super Cutie Adopted by Billionaire Clan

Everyone in the group chat was already hyped up, so when Nasir asked a question, they happily flooded him with answers. Within minutes, the chat exploded with dozens of messages–all about Chronos Legal.

Curious but skeptical, Nasir scrolled through the thread. By the time he finished reading, his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of his throat.

For a few seconds, he stood frozen, stunned. Then, as if jolted back to life, he dove down to retrieve his phone, not even caring that the screen had shattered.

Frantically, he searched through his contacts and fired off a message. When there was no response, he tried calling–twice.

The second time, a chill ran down his spine as he realized he had already been blocked.

On the other end of the internet, Layne was barking orders at his staff. “Delete him. Now. Wipe everything.”

Once Nasir’s contacts had been fully blacklisted, Layne collapsed onto the couch like a man who had barely escaped death, face pale and drenched in relief.
