*****

Honey had just awakened from her faint after having a deep, peaceful sleep, and the first person her eyes encountered was the aloof and frostily detached Grace.

So, without pausing to consider what she might have missed and how long she had been unconscious, her fury reignited.

Before her eyes opened, he had thought Grace’s marriage would have already been finalized and she would have moved to start her new life of hell and torture, yet… she still dared to be in the same room with her, with that frosty and aloof demeanor she hated the most.

On the other hand, the room, hearing Honey’s spiteful question continued staring at her in stunned silence, all of them having entirely forgotten her presence until now.

What even took them several times greatly aback was Honey’s first behavior upon returning to his senses, and several people wondered if she was just acting or hadn’t really realized the new change of power and authority.

    *****At first, Honey and Grace had assumed Xavier was merely trying to create division between Honey, her father, and her brother. Honey had even prepared to retaliate, while Grace had decided to stay out of it.However, seeing the current expression on Nico and Mason’s faces, they had no idea of what to think, until finally;“Brother… Father… is it true?” Honey asked cautiously, her voice shaking as her question snapped the father-son duo out of their stupor.For a moment, Mason and Nico exchanged uneasy glances. Then Nico, recovering his composure, quickly shook his head.“Don’t listen to his nonsense,” he said, though his tone lacked conviction—enough to fool even the most gullible.Had Nico denied the ‘accusation’ immediately after Xavier’s remark, Honey might have believed him. But the delayed response, coupled with his obvious discomfort, left her bewildered.She stared at the two for a moment, disbelief heavily etched into her features.“You… the two of you actually re

    *****Still in the conference room, the tension was palpable.Honey remained frozen, staring blankly as if her spirit had been completely drained. But she wasn’t the only one in shock. Grace, Dorothy, and the receptionist too, were taken aback.The three women knew how deeply Nico and Mason despised Grace, yet their current sycophantic expressions were unrecognizably genuine. It was hard to reconcile this with the duo who had betrayed Grace so effortlessly just moments ago.Grace nearly faltered under their sudden shift in demeanor, but she composed herself and said, “Uncle, cousin, I’ll take my leave now. I have work to do.”Her words instantly made Nico and Mason visibly stiffen, both of them nearly losing their composure.‘This wretched b!tch!’ they both fumed inwardly, their forced smiles barely holding.After a brief pause, however, Nico nodded her head rapidly, looking like a chicken pecking at corn.“Of course, niece. Please go ahead. We’ll continue here,” he said, atte

    *****“Father!”Lucius abruptly burst out of his car without waiting for it to come to a complete stop, acting as though the world were crumbling around him, his frantic yell echoing through the estate.Bolting toward the mansion, he ignored the Scoan servants, who instinctively averted their eyes, knowing well that this version of Lucius—unrestrained and desperate—was the most terrifying to offend.Without acknowledging anyone, Lucius stormed through the grand halls, slamming open the doors as he made his way to his father’s bedroom.Finally, he entered, and just then;“Who dares?!”A deep, enraged voice erupted from within the room Lucius had just invaded.In the following second, the patriarch of the Scoan family and Lucius’s father, Augustus Scoan, a man in his early sixties sprang upright from his bed, yanking a duvet to cover his nakedness.“Father!”Lucius, ignoring the man’s fury called out again, finally stopping before him.As soon as Augustus saw him, though, his

    *****Outside the room, the secretary’s mocking and spiteful voice sliced through the tension like a blade.“To actually think your husband has a prostitute like you as a wife all this while,” she sneered, her words dripping with venom. “And he’s always judged me.”“I…”The naked woman trembled under the weight of the insult, wishing desperately for the ground to open up and swallow her whole. But before she could react;“Not just me,” the secretary continued, her mocking laughter cutting deeper. “He’s judged every single woman he met, calling you the perfect wife—the one who would never cheat, even if he disappeared for a decade or lost everything.”Each word struck like a hammer, leaving the woman pale and defenseless.The secretary seemed to revel in the torment. She had been doing this since the woman arrived, her cruel taunts showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.This continued until suddenly, the door before her was pulled open and Augustus stepped out, his face ste

    *****Currently, within a moving vehicle, one that was occupied yet eerily quiet as if devoid of any soul, Mason’s family sat, each member’s brows deeply knitted.The tension in the car was stifling at this point, yet nobody noticed it.Instead, every person was utterly absorbed in their thoughts, their expressions heavily laced with grimness, sadness, incredulity, and resentment, which was utterly different in comparison with the smug confidence they had worn that morning.Over twenty minutes had already passed since they left Sky Group, yet no one had uttered even the faintest sound. It was as though they had just received profoundly shattering news from where they were coming.This oppressive silence stretched on endlessly like this for what felt like an eternity, or so it seemed, until finally:“What if she’s determined not to share this life-changing opportunity with our family?” a hoarse, uneasy voice suddenly rang out, shattering the suffocating silence like a shard of gl

    *****For a long moment, Nico and Mason sat there, staring at the old man in stunned disbelief, their mouths agape in shock, unable to answer his question.Their expressions remained frozen, and even a hint of drool slipped from the corners of their mouths, unnoticed in their incredulous state.Honey, meanwhile, sat to the side, her thoughts in turmoil.‘What really happened back then when I was unconscious?’ she wondered desperately. How was my brother convinced to return the company to that witch? And why are they reacting like this to such a simple question?’‘This isn’t even the first time grandfather would be ordering that b!tch to hand over the company to my brother.’Her mind brimmed with questions, but she was ignored, as though she didn’t exist.Nico and Mason continued staring at the old man, their eyes filled with pure astonishment and disbelief, until finally;“You… You were going to… you were going to ask her to hand the company and the entire Projects Echelon to

    *****“Why didn’t you inform me before coming here?” Striding toward Lucius and his father was Borgia Ravencrest, the man Lucius had met alongside his father just a day ago when he rushed to report Jazzy’s demise.At this moment, Borgia’s expression was grim, his aura exuding an oppressive murderous intent that made Lucius and his father’s legs feel as though they had turned to jelly.Right now, the two men were standing before an enormous black gate, marking the entrance to Rivercrest Estate.Although they were members of an upper second-rank family—a family that could command the heavens and earth in the outside world.Here, however, they were powerless to the extent that it was an ordinary gatekeeper who had barred their entry, haughtily instructing them to either call the person they came to see or leave before they were forcibly made to disappear from the face of the world.Despite the fact that the gatekeeper was a mere mortal whom neither Lucius nor Augustus would typical

    *****Inside a grand, opulent hall, whose magnificence far surpassed anything Augustus and his son had ever seen in their lives, the two men stood with their heads bowed.Compared to their own estate, this place was like heaven to their hellish slum.Neither of them dared to breathe too loudly at this moment.The once proud members of a powerful upper second-rank family now resembled meek mortals standing before gods, and looking at them, one would think they were in the presence of a powerhouse.This, however, wasn’t the case. The hall was frighteningly silent, devoid of any other presence aside from the two of them.They remained frozen in place, looking like slaves awaiting their master’s command, their tension so palpable it seemed to weigh down the very air.The silence dragged on like this for what felt like a long time, each second stretching into eternity, until:“First brother, what is this news you’ve gathered all of us for? And even disturbing Father all over?”A s

    *****“Mister,” Miss Aria Wynn’s gentle yet commanding voice interrupted. “Are you still interested in completing the transaction?”The question, so casually spoken, instantly landed like a thunderclap in every ear.Everyone, no matter who fell silent again, and then they turned to the poised supervisor, wondering what her intentions were.Ultimately, someone whispered, “She’s… probably just trying to confirm the manager’s theory.”“Huh”The murmur spread, reaching every ear, and enlightenment sparked.The employees of Dior, especially those who had long coveted Amelia’s enviable position, brightened with anticipation.Roxie in particular lit up like a Christmas tree.She had long been watching Amelia from the sidelines, green with envy.While her own role was capped at the level of boutique manager, Amelia, who barely even worked, lived in luxury.Her paycheck? It was five times her own, and yet she never even lifted a finger, never pitched in, and never hustled.It was a

    *****All attention veered to Roxie, whose words had taken on an almost theatrical flair.Miss Aria raised a brow, unimpressed but curious. “Please, elaborate.”Roxie’s face lit up like she had just been invited to audition for a lead role.Then, with pride swelling in her chest, she jabbed a finger toward Amelia.“If my thought is correct… which most definitely is, she must’ve noticed how our boutique kicked out this bunch of beggars. So, she’s trying to fabricate an extravagant sale to protect her job.”“Hmmm…” all brows rose, and Roxie continued.“She hasn’t made a single sale since she joined your company. Think about it. If she stages this fake purchase, even if the transaction fails, it’ll look like she’s indispensable, since the price of this purchase is something none had ever achieved before.”Roxie smirked, her voice brimming with smugness.“When the higher-ups at High Fashion see a failed transaction notification for fifty million dollars, they’ll most likely assum

    *****An overwhelming silence enveloped the boutique at this moment, thick enough to strangle breath.No one could utter a word after hearing Xavier’s old declaration.Not the customers from Dior who had eagerly waited to see the destitute Xavier and his parents humiliated.Not the staff of the Dior boutique who had ridiculed the family nonstop with brazen disdain.Not even Miss Lin, Dior’s supervisor, whose proud demeanor was suddenly frozen in time.Not the intrigued bystanders, whose whispers had faded into oblivion.Not even Miss Aria Wynn, the poised overseer of High Fashion, known for her unshakable composure, found her voice.And certainly not Amelia—who, despite never looking down on Xavier, had never once believed he could possibly command such astronomical wealth.Yet among them all, the ones most deeply rattled were none other than…Xavier’s parents.Barely a week ago, they had been scraping coins together, often skipping meals to survive the day.Yet now, their s

    *****Roxie gave a detailed report, claiming that after she kicked Xavier and his parents out of her store, they went into the High Fashion boutique, tried on several dresses, and Amelia irresponsibly entertained them.She claimed she had gone to the High Fashion store out of goodwill, to warn Amelia about the kind of people Xavier’s family were, and yet, instead of being thanked, she and everyone who had gone out of goodwill were rudely insulted.Roxie twisted the truth with practiced ease, flipping the entire narrative in her favor. She painted Xavier and his family as swindlers, and Amelia, the sales attendant, as an enabler of criminal behavior.By the time she finished her story, many of those who had been present during the incident stared at her, dumbfounded.They knew the truth, and it was far from what Roxie had just reported.Yet, not a single one of them spoke up.Instead, after staring at her in a daze for a moment, they smiled brightly and supported her tale, eager

    *****Outside the luxurious boutique of High Fashion, the sidewalk was brimming with anticipation.A crowd of over fifty people gathered in a loose semi-circle, yelling and shifting, their expressions ranging from curiosity to outright impatience.Every passing second added fuel to their restlessness.Ultimately…“Hey you….” One sharply dressed woman snapped suddenly. “You said your supervisor and High Fashion’s supervisor were already nearby.” Her arms crossed tightly, and her lips furrowed into a scowl. “It’s been over ten minutes already. When exactly are they supposed to get here?”All eyes immediately turned to the person the woman was accusing—the Dior manager, who had unintentionally become the spokesperson for the growing crowd.The manager winced.The question had been direct, but the tone… the pointed, condescending tone—was what cut deep.The manager’s brows twitched in the next second, and her jaw clenched, but she forced herself to remain composed.She wanted to

    *****“Apologies,” she said, her voice level, respectful, yet firm. “But I believe this is the High Fashion boutique—not Dior, and certainly not under anyone else’s jurisdiction. If you are not here to explore or make a purchase, I kindly ask that you leave.”Her words were like a pin dropped in a lion’s den, and silence fell. The kind of silence that pulses just before an eruption.Just at that moment—“You… you dare speak to me like that?!” someone growled. A woman in a glittering red dress, decked in gold and loud perfumes, stepped forward with fury in her eyes. “Do you even know who I am?!”That was all it took.The crowd exploded, and in the next second—“How dare she talk to us like that!”“Who does she think she is?!”“She’s just a lowly shop worker!”“Let’s see how smug she looks when she’s out on the streets!”They hurled curses, threats, and venom at Amelia. Some called her an idiot, others called her names. But through it all, Amelia stood tall, her smile never w

    *****Amelia had been caught in a daze since a moment ago, still trying to understand how her once-empty store was suddenly bursting with people. The energy, the chaos—it had thrown her off balance.But now, the focus had shifted.The manager from Dior was glaring at her with eyes that could cut glass.Her gaze wasn’t just angry—it was personal. As if she had been waiting for a moment like this to lash out.Amelia instinctively looked around.All of Dior Boutique’s employees… all the other staff…They were glaring at her too with pure contempt, envy, and open hostility.The air itself felt poisonous.She was confused. But just at that moment—“Well, you can’t blame her, boss,” one of the Dior sales assistants said with a smirk. “She’s basically been a mannequin here. I mean, how many months has she gone without a single sale? Perhaps desperation must’ve clouded her judgment.”Laughter followed again.The crowd didn’t even notice the subtle tremble in Amelia’s fingers as sh

    *****For a moment that stretched like an eternity, no one moved. No one breathed. Not even the sound of shuffling fabric or a clearing throat dared disturb the suffocating silence that followed Xavier’s declaration.Everyone stared at him, their eyes wide open and their mouths agape as if trying to decide whether they’d heard him correctly or if their minds had simply imagined it.'Buy all the dresses in their sizes?'The words replayed in every corner of the room, bouncing from one disbelieving thought to another. Especially within the minds of those from Dior’s boutique, who had just entered the high-fashion store.They had followed out of mockery and curiosity, whispering among themselves as they loitered at the entrance, wondering why Xavier and his family hadn’t been kicked out yet.They had expected to find him making a fool of himself, maybe staring in a daze at a price tag or arguing with a staff member about the mistake with their prices.‘But this?’What they heard

    *****David exhaled a long sigh before speaking. “Xavier… are you sure you can afford all this?”Before Xavier could respond, a small, sweet voice interrupted.“Uncle… you don’t need to buy the dresses for Little Lola,” the little girl said softly, her voice like a breeze through spring leaves. “Actually, Little Lola wouldn’t even be sad if we returned the one she’s wearing.”Her eyes sparkled, her smile serene and completely honest. “Just getting to wear this pretty dress and feel like a princess for even a few minutes… It’s more than enough to make Little Lola’s heart happy forever.”David’s throat tightened, and Sarah bit her lip to hold back the emotions surging in her chest.But Xavier…He knelt beside the little girl, his smile gentle as he patted her head with affection.“You don’t trust Uncle too?” he teased.Without missing a beat, Little Lola shook her head fervently.“Little Lola trusts Uncle very, very much!” she declared, the seriousness in her voice catching ev
