Alex stepped into the store while Alfred waited by the entrance.

As soon as Alex entered, the cold air greeted him, and the exquisite jewelry immediately caught his attention.

The store was lavishly decorated, from the ceiling to the walls.

"Let’s choose the most expensive piece here for Sophia," he thought, eyes sweeping over the glittering jewels.

"Would she prefer emerald, or diamonds?" he mused, his gaze drifting over the dazzling array of gems.

Even the least expensive earrings at Elegance & Co were priced above $10,000, and Alex was certain Sophia would be amazed.

She would be thrilled to receive the gift, along with the invitation to the banquet.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the store, a young woman was browsing jewelry, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a noticeable belly.

The woman stood beside him, admiring the pieces in the display case.

"Tommy, baby, don’t you think I’d look stunning in these earrings?" she nudged the man. "Will you buy them for me, sweetheart?"

    The manager froze, completely thrown off. He had called for Mister Saint-Claire—yet the other man stepped forward like the name belonged to him.It was so shameless it made the air tighten.“Excuse me,” the manager began, ready to correct the mistake.But Alex lifted a hand, calm and steady. “It’s okay.”Since Alex didn’t mind, the manager let it slide.Gerhard, however, was glowing.For a moment he looked stunned, then stunned turned into pride—especially with Renata standing beside him. Being greeted by the head manager himself? That was enough to inflate any ego.Conrad stared at him, jaw dropped.“Gerhard, you’re unbelievable. That guy’s the branch head. He treated you like royalty. Since when did you know people like that? You never mentioned any of this—such a low-profile man!”Gerhard burst into self-satisfied laughter.“Hahaha! No need to brag about my connections. I keep things quiet. Low-key is better!”Renata blinked in surprise. For once, Gerhard didn’t seem like empty tal

    “Renata, do you know this?” Gerhard said, chin lifted with that familiar smugness. “I’m the fastest officer in Winchester history. From cadet to captain in just two years. No one’s ever done it before.”He didn’t stop there.“I still remember the newspapers. My name everywhere. They even called me the Prince of Winchester. Millions of women sent me love letters. I’m practically a legend here.”Renata nodded out of politeness.“This man is unbelievably shameless,” Alex muttered, feeling secondhand embarrassment crawl up his spine.Gerhard couldn’t read a room if someone handed him the instructions. Why brag about being a captain in front of Renata—the daughter of a duke, the daughter of a general?A captain’s rank is nothing to her family. But sure, let him strut around like captaincy is the peak of human greatness.Gerhard kept talking, proudly clinging to his captain rank like it was the center of everyone universe.Moments later, the flying limousine slid to a stop at the front ent

    Right now, the crowd in front of the airport arrival gate was shifting to one side—drawn toward an elegant woman standing calmly among them.Her long red hair fell down her back like a blazing waterfall, and the luxury dress she wore traced every perfect line of her figure. Branded sunglasses hid her eyes, but nothing could dull the force of her beauty.Smooth skin, sharp features, fiery red lips—up close, she was easily on the same level as Sofina Scheinwald, the famed beauty of Winchester. Different styles, different strengths, but equal in allure.Everyone waiting outside turned to stare, caught in the gravity of her presence.Even Gerhard froze on the spot, stunned.“One smile of hers can tilt a city’s walls;How could a heart remain untaken?In a single glance, a thousand hopes awaken.”“She really lives up to the reputation of the Winter family’s daughter,” he muttered, almost breathless. “Her beauty is insane.”Envy twisted on Beatrix face. She scoffed, “Please. Any rich woman

    “What is the mission, Father? I will carry it out successfully.” Renata said.“Renata, I heard Sofina somehow became a partner of the Eden Group,” Armin said, voice steady but loaded with implication. “Do you know anything about it?”“Of course,” Renata replied casually, still eating. “We talk all the time. She’s my best friend.”“Good.” Armin set his fork down and leaned in, his eyes sharpening like a blade. “I’m giving you a mission. And listen carefully—this isn’t small. Our entire duchy may depend on you.”Renata stopped eating.Armin continued. “The Eden Group… it carries a power strong enough to make every duke uneasy. Yet not a single duke—nor even the king—has ever admitted the group belongs to them.”“I believe someone is behind the Eden Group’s rise,” Armin said, voice steady but heavy. “No company grows that fast in just two years without a giant pushing from the shadows. A duke at the very least. Maybe even the king himself.”His eyes locked onto Renata, sharp and unblinki

    Pauline stood frozen in the hallway, mind spinning. Was Alex insane… or did he really just video-call the terrifying Count Oskar?The man whose name alone could silence a crying child?The door suddenly swung open.“What are you doing here?” Alex asked, staring at her—then at the kitchen knife in her hand. “Were you trying to kill me with that?”“Yes, so what!” Pauline snapped. The rebel in her rose fast. Her cheeks went red—shock, anger, and humiliation mixing all at once.“Well?” Alex tilted his head, a mocking sneer on his lips. “Then go on. Try to stab me.”“Shut up!” Pauline barked. There was no way she’d actually stab him—he was a head taller, broader, unshakably calm. “I’m going to the kitchen.”Alex raised an eyebrow. “Kitchen’s on the first floor.”“There’s another kitchen on the second floor, you idiot.” She shoved past him.“There isn’t,” Alex muttered behind her. “But whatever.” He slammed the door hard enough to rattle the frame.Pauline stomped down the stairs. Felicia a

    Gustav was yanked forward by Count Oskar, the man’s grip cold and unbreakable.“Call your father,” Oskar growled. “If you don’t pay a single cent, I’ll sell your organs one by one.”“I—I’ll call him! I’ll call my father right now!” Gustav stammered. With no escape left, he fumbled for his bracelet phone, terror shaking his fingers as he dialed.As this unfolded, Alex stood quietly on the side, watching Count Oskar.No one else noticed it—but Oskar lowered his head slightly, a tiny nod of respect.Their oath to hide Alex’s real identity still held. Whenever they crossed paths in public, they kept their connection distant.For Alex, who had just obtained Prussian citizenship, the stakes were high.Any hint of involvement with the criminal world—or any violence traced back to him—could get his citizenship revoked.He needed at least three clean years without a single stain on his record.So Alex left quietly. Felicia and her husband had already gone home ahead of him.When Alex arrived,
