The triplets fell silent the moment Mr. Ginny finished yelling. Finn gulped, his hands trembling as he avoided everyone's gaze, not wanting to be reminded that he was the one who decided to mess with Tedmond, while the twins were merely supporting him.“Mr. Ginny is so terrifying,” Bianca mumbled to Tedmond.Tedmond glanced down at Bianca. “Perhaps he’s finally snapped at them.”Mr. Ginny shifted his gaze to Tedmond. “How about we discuss what you really want in private?” he suggested. “I don’t know the full story of what happened, but I have an idea of what it was. I’d like to offer some compensation.”With that, he pulled out a black card and held it out to Tedmond. “You said I should compensate you for my son’s behavior by paying for your dinner, but I arrived later than you expected, causing me to lose the contract—one of the most important in my company.”Sweat trickled down Mr. Ginny’s face. Although he sounded composed, he was trembling inside. Another mistake could mean the de

Now that the drama had ended, the customers were beginning to leave. Many plates of food had gone cold as people had been too engrossed in the confrontation to eat, leaving several tables unoccupied.‘He asked me for a seat?’ the manager thought, feeling a surge of hope. ‘This is my chance to win his favor.’“How about I arrange a VIP room for you both?” he suggested eagerly. “It’ll be more private and comfortable than sitting here among the crowd. What do you think? Isn’t that a great idea?”Tedmond and Bianca exchanged a look, raising their eyebrows at the manager.‘Did I say something wrong?’ the manager wondered, starting to panic. He quickly tried a different tactic.“The VIP room will be in the house. Trust me, it’s—”“No, thanks!” Tedmond and Bianca replied in unison, cutting him off.Dejected, the manager stared at them with concern in his eyes. “Why not? There’s no reason for you to turn down my offer. I’ll make sure you have an experience unlike any other.”Tedmond arched an

Thomas glanced at Tedmond with a confused look on his face as soon as the question left his lips.Seeing Thomas silent, Tedmond raised his head to look at him, only to be met with a confused and curious stare. Thomas looked at him like he had just asked something he wasn’t supposed to.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Tedmond asked in confusion.“Did you want to go to the company since they’re there to ask for your hand in marriage?” Thomas replied with a question. “Do you know it’s insulting for them to think about that, let alone approach you like that?”Tedmond’s confused expression turned into one of fear as he looked at Thomas. The beaming look was gone from Thomas’s face, and he looked really pissed—his eyes dark, and his brows twitching in anger.“How dare they try to propose to you in the first place?” Thomas asked. “Did you give off the vibe that you might be interested in their daughter? How dare they think that she is good enough for you? Is that how much they look do

Duncan clasped his hands together. “We managed to get many positive comments about the company on the website, which overpowered the terrible rumors. Many mothers whose kids had worked with us also gave testimonials,” he began.“A fan of one of our voice actors helped too. She’s an influencer and made positive remarks, which created a trend that other influencers followed. This caught the attention of TV stations, which used the evidence to produce stories for newspapers and magazines.“The TV station even came to the company to investigate, bringing along a few detectives, but they found nothing. After all the investigations, we were proven ‘not guilty,’ which silenced those who had slandered us.“We were also able to get apologies from those who had spread the rumors. It made me wonder why they believed such claims in the first place. The evidence provided by the source wasn’t all that convincing. I suppose the source had enough persuasive skills to pull it off.”Tedmond nodded in a

"Low family like yours?" The words echoed in the minds of both father and daughter."How dare you call my family a low family?" Harold demanded. "Do you know what the Griffin family has achieved?"Lora shook her head. "Nope. I have no idea what the Griffin family has achieved because, as far as I know, they haven't achieved anything."Her tone was more polite than any other words she'd said, and the fact that it wasn’t sarcasm drove Maxine crazy.Maxine stepped closer to Lora, a grin on her face. Without warning, she jabbed her finger into Lora's chest."You must have heard the news. I’m dating your boss, and as long as we’re together, I am above you," Maxine declared confidently, her voice devoid of hesitation.Lora's jaw tightened. She couldn’t believe it. The rumors had only just begun to spread, and now Maxine was claiming authority over someone who had managed Xinca for years before the real president arrived."I don’t know if you lack manners or if you’re just dumb," Lora replie
