History or not, he's bad news. You need to cut ties with him before he drags you down even further.

Sam's satisfaction was evident as she took the bag, her smile never faltering. With a playful wink at Liz, she tucked Tristan's credit card back into her purse.
Sam's eyes sparkled with excitement as she leaned in closer to Liz, her voice barely above a whisper. "If Tristan is this wealthy, just imagine how rich Gabriel must be! After all, Gabriel is Tristan's boss."
Liz couldn't help but scoff softly at Sam's speculation. "Well, Lucian is wealthy too!" she retorted, her tone tinged with a hint of defensiveness.
Sam raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Liz's response. "Lucian? Really?" she questioned, her curiosity piqued.
Liz nodded firmly, her expression resolute. "Yes, really. He may not flaunt it like Tristan, but Lucian definitely has his fair share of wealth."
