The young master of the Tucker family was very diligent these days, which was a consensus in the business circle.

There was a business party tonight and Antonio would also come. Because of this, many young ladies had specially dressed up before coming to the party.

When the lights were lit, many gentlemen and ladies in fine clothes gathered around the swimming pool of a villa. The villa was crowded with elites of Lehcaster.

Even so, there was still a hierarchy among these top-class elites.

"Mr. Tucker, you've been very active in social engagements and diligent recently. Is it because you were motivated by a beautiful woman?" An elite who seemed to be in his thirties toasted Antonio and said in a joking voice.

Much to his surprise, this young businessman actually admitted it. "You're right. Mr. Braxton, your eyes are still sharp."

Mr. Braxton was surprised. He asked, "Which lady is it? Who's so lucky to win your heart, Mr. Tucker?"

Antonio waved his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Braxton, I have to correct you. It was my luck to meet her. I feel blessed by God since I could meet her in this life. If I can marry her someday, I think it would be the luckiest thing in my life."

At this moment, a commotion came from ahead.

Antonio and Mr. Braxton were both drawn by the commotion and looked toward the gate.

"Is that Bentley Shawn, the president of the Shawn Group?" Mr. Braxton who stood beside Antonio asked in astonishment. "No one said that this business tycoon would also take part in this party tonight."

Then he turned to Antonio and asked, "Mr. Tucker, do you know the Shawn Group?"

Antonio directly ignored him, put down his goblet, and walked straight to the gate.

Mr. Braxton was astonished when he found that Antonio was walking toward the man who had caused a commotion at the gate.

Antonio studied in Clodon before and had only been back to the country for less than one year, while Bentley had been leaving in the country. How could these two people know each other?

People in the business circle knew little about Antonio and Bentley's childhood story.

As soon as Bentley showed up at the party, he caused a commotion. All people, men or women, had their eyes lit up when Bentley showed up at the gate.

Men all wanted to walk over to greet Bentley, hoping that he could remember them, while women refined their make-up, smoothened their dresses, and tucked their hair. They all stared at Bentley eagerly.

Then there came a commotion from the crowd again. They stepped aside and made way for Antonio.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Shawn?" An evil and unruly grin appeared on Antonio's handsome face. With a hand in the pocket of his suit pant, he gracefully walked to the man at the gate and said, "Mr. Shawn, I didn't expect that you're also interested in a party of this scale."

Bentley only had indifference in his charming eyes. He stood on the spot, watched Antonio walking toward him step by step, and said, "I came out for relaxation. All parties are the same to me."

"Relaxation? Oh, Mr. Shawn, did you encounter any tough nut these days?" Antonio continued, "How about this? Mr. Shawn, I would like to invite you to Royal Club for relaxation."

Bentley abruptly narrowed his deep-set, charming eyes. Antonio said so though he knew Bentley was the owner of Royal Club! He was trying to provoke him!

He curled up his lips indifferently and waved at the waiter who stood not far away. The waiter immediately walked over with a tray. Bentley took a glass of wine from the tray, handed it to Antonio, picked up another glass for himself, and said, "Mr. Tucker, sounds like you're very concerned about me. but you should care more about yourself. The dark circles under your eyes have gotten more serious. Did you often stay up late these days?"

Antonio's hand which was holding the goblet trembled slightly. Then he gulped down all the red wine in the goblet as if nothing had happened. He put the goblet back on the tray the waiter was holding and turned to look at Bentley.

"That's true. How could I deal with those waves of trouble you gave to me if I didn't stay up late?"

Bentley sneered and replied blandly, "There is no such thing as 'giving trouble' in the battlefield of business. The only thing that matters is who is stronger." He shook the glass of red wine in his hand and put the goblet back on the tray although he hadn't drunk any of it. Then he looked at Antonio coldly.

He said, "I told you that I won't give my thing to others even if I don't want it. Mr. Tucker, you must work harder. Probably you'll turn the table and save your company if you stay up for several more nights."

Antonio's smile became stiff, and he became more unyielding as he questioned, "Mr. Shawn, you stressed the thing you don't want again and again. Gee, you care so much about her, but you deny it. Are you jealous because you can't get your beloved woman?"

Bentley's eyes abruptly turned cold. He landed a cold gaze on Antonio's face and said, "Mr. Tucker, I don't need you to care for my business. Maybe you should care more about yourself now."

He bypassed Antonio and walked away after finishing the words.

Though the atmosphere between the two wasn't that harmonious, as they had lowered their voice when they talked, other people could not hear their conversation clearly. What they could see was that these two outstanding men were talking.

Bentley walked inside the villa after bypassing Antonio and then directly headed toward the restroom. Only he himself knew how angry he was at this moment.

How would he fall for a woman like Caroline? How would he get jealous because of Caroline and Antonio's relationship?

Nonsense!

She was such a selfish, greedy and lowly gold digger. Even a normal man would turn his nose up at such a woman. How would he, Bentley Shawn, fall for such a woman?

This would never happen!

However, another voice in his heart told him, "You've been captivated by her. Otherwise, why did you target the Tucker Group and the Tucker family? You could imprison her so that she couldn't get in touch with Antonio anymore. But why didn't you do that? You're afraid that the smile on her face would disappear again, right?"

After walking into the restroom, Bentley stared at his reflection in the mirror coldly and shouted to himself toughly in his heart, "No! That's not true. I, Bentley Shawn, would never fall for such an evil- minded woman. I targeted the Tucker family and the Tucker Group because I disliked Antonio. Since Antonio had the guts to touch my thing, of course, he should learn a lesson. That's all!"

Antonio went back home without waiting for the party to come to an end.

All was quiet in the dead of night, but there was still light coming out of the window of the study on the second floor.

Behind the desk, there sat a man who was focused on his work.

Antonio's fingers danced on the keyboard nonstop. After a while, he picked up the cup of coffee beside him and gulped it down. Then he immersed himself in his work again.

Bentley was right. If he slacked off now, he wouldn't be able to deal with the following attacks from Bentley.

Antonio only felt a gush of powerlessness at this moment. He and Bentley had been frenemies since childhood and they would compete on everything. However, he never won.

Antonio didn't want to accept this back then, and this wouldn't change today.

It was just that Bentley was really a monster. Only after starting his battle against him did Antonio find out that Bentley totally stood out no matter in terms of strategies, capital, or talent.

"I never won when we were young, but this time, I can't lose." Caroline was the only thing that he couldn't lose to Bentley!

The light in Antonio's study only went out at 4 o'clock in the morning.
