“YOU DISRESPECTFUL and ungrateful child! Don’t you have any manners on how to be a good visitor when you’re in someone’s house? Did Sherry teach you that way?!” Charles scolded Harvey, who held onto his right cheek as his skin felt stung. "No, dad—" Harvey was about to explain, but Charles continued interrupting him. "Do you think I wouldn't know what you did to August?!" Charles was mad, and it was evident in his expression and his voice as well. "Do you take me as a fool?! Imbecile!" And in another second, Charles slapped Harvey on the left cheek this time. Harvey gasped as he felt how strong the force was on Charles' hand. He wanted to say something but decided not to speak as Charles gave him a deadly gaze. "It's not like that—" Harvey's explanation stopped mid-way when he realized something. "Why are you taking that bastard's side over me, dad?" "Bastard?" Charles' grip on his crane tightened. "Be careful with your words, Harvey. Or I might remove all your wealth right now."

TOMORROW MORNING, Bruce and Samantha were in a shopping mall. Samantha roamed around the stores looking for a bag since Bruce promised him to get her one. They were happily shopping together like Bruce didn’t shout at her yesterday.Well, she decided to forgive him quickly, even without an apology, because of the bag that he’ll buy for her.Samantha wasn’t picky when it comes to bags— in fact, she loved everything.But the event that they were going to the next month was something she couldn’t take easily. It was like a reunion for all the rich people within the top eleven to top fifty, and since the Sandoval family was in the top fifty, they were invited to the party, and Bruce would let her join as his fiance.“This looks good,” Samantha told Bruce who had his hands in his pocket while roaming the place. They were now in a Gucci department store. Samantha pointed at the black bag which was covered by a squared glass and imagined that she was holding it in her hands. She smiled in

“THE CARD was named after him…” Mina trailed off as her eyes flickered between Bruce, Samantha, and Triana— which all were giving a deadly gaze at her. Mina doesn’t have any characteristics to judge someone based on their appearance. However, as a part of the protocol, and since August was going to buy the most expensive bag, she needed to do a fact check. And with that, she realized that it was impossible for the card to be stolen if it was named after August in the first place. “Impossible!” Bruce exclaimed as Mina’s words made his blood boil. “An ordinary man like him couldn’t even have the right to touch a black card like this!” Without permission, Bruce grabbed the black card from Mina’s hand. He looked at it with frustration, because August had an expensive card like that, and amusement because it was his first time to see such a luxurious card that costs millions of dollars, at least. “Are you sure that it’s his, Mina?” Triana answered back. She crossed her arms and raised

Hello to all! This is not an update. Sorry. Daily updates will resume on January 1, 2023, every 3 pm UTC+8. I have four schedule updates already, so rest assured that the updates will publish at that time. Again, thank you everyone for reading this story and adding this to your library! If you like a fast-paced story with lots of faceslapping (rest assured. I prepared my outline for this, haha) but of course, August's plans would not also happen the way he planned it to be (hmmm!) Anyway, let me give you a sneak peak on the next chapter! “I… I…” Triana wanted to say something, but it seemed like her voice left her throat already. August shook his head, having no plans to talk to Triana anymore. Instead, he looked at Bruce who was already staring at him. “Take good care of your girl, okay?” August said. Mixed emotions of worry and sarcasm were evident in his voice. “Don’t let anyone treat her as a pushover.” HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

“YOUNG—”Nicollo, one of August’s people, was about to greet him like how they greet him when they were at home, but suddenly remembered that no one could know about August being another adopted child. So, they couldn’t call him young master.August suddenly shook his head. Nicollo suddenly understood what he wanted to say indirectly. He didn’t continue what he was going to say. Instead, he opened another topic.“The master was looking for you.” Nicollo lied as he cleared his throat. “He personally asked me to fetch you.”He did that because he saw that Bruce Sandoval was looking at their young master intently.‘I couldn’t do something that would place th
