Morel was already at the beach volleyball court, ready to compete in a spontaneously organized match. Upon arriving at the sideline, he glances around for his team partner. Suddenly, he realized that he was made to team up with Diane.However, on the other side of the pitch, Marisa looked tense. In the striking jersey of the opposing team, she watched with great annoyance as Morel and Diane began to move toward their position. Her heart raced, trying to hide her frustration at not being placed on the same team as Morel. Despite trying to keep her composure, a faint look of frustration could be seen on her face, tucked away amongst the rays of the morning sun that beautified the morning atmosphere.Marisa, while staring at the opponent's side of the field with a sharp gaze, "You sneaky woman, how could she arrange all this? She must have deliberately wanted to be on the same team as Morel and intended to make me their opponent." in an annoyed tone Marisa grumbled to herself.The game s
Marisa was very surprised by Diane's sudden behavior of hugging Morel's hand. With a look of disbelief on her face, she shouted, "Hey! What are you doing? How dare you touch him!" Marisa then stepped forward, standing between Diane and Morel, as if to protect Morel from any unwanted actions. "You can't just touch her. What were you thinking?" she continued in a stern tone.Diane replied to Marisa's words casually, "Never mind, you don't need to yell. It's none of your business." She stared at Marisa with a sharp gaze as if to show that she wasn't intimidated.Tucker, who saw that, was very annoyed, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Well, it looks like you're very popular with the ladies." He glanced at Morel with an envious look, adding, "What's the secret, Morel? His friend added, Why are they all so interested in you?" Morel could only sigh, feeling increasingly exhausted by this unwanted situation.Morel just wanted to ignore them and get out of there. He felt increasingly cornered and
Tucker and his friends walked up to Morel, forming a menacing circle around him. They looked at each other with gazes full of hatred and provocation as if ready to attack at any moment.Morel stood his ground, staring at them equally intensely as if daring them to go further. "You're such cowards," Morel said in a firm and brave voice, audible amidst the tense atmosphere. "Aren't you ashamed to want to attack me together? Are you just daring to play gangsters," Morel continued, his voice growing stronger and filled with controlled anger.Morel's words echoed through the air, cutting through the tension with a defiant attitude. Tucker and his friends smiled sarcastically, but it was clear that they weren't taking Morel's resistance lightly."That's right, you guys are a bunch of cowards," Diane said in a voice full of courage, although there were still traces of pain on her face. "He only dared to treat me harshly, who is a weak woman." Diane gave Tucker a hateful look.Diane stepped f
Morel and Marisa had arrived at the Kurgan family's seaside restaurant, with Marisa following close behind. Where the relaxed atmosphere and the restaurant's beautiful ocean view created the perfect backdrop. Morel sat in the middle between Marisa and Diane.Marisa did not like Diane's presence in their company at the Kurgan family's seaside restaurant. Despite the relaxed atmosphere and the beautiful sea view, Diane's presence had affected the mood of their gathering.Marisa glanced briefly at Diane, her gaze filled with discomfort. In a firm voice, she tried to emphasize her wishes, "Diane, please leave! I just want to be alone with Morel without your interference!" Her voice sounded sharp, reflecting the mounting frustration that this unwanted presence had interrupted the precious moment they were supposed to enjoy together. Marisa made it clear that she would not tolerate this intrusion anymore.Diane refused to be shooed away, fixing Marisa with a glare. "I'm sorry, Marisa, but I
Marisa and Morel reached the front of the party hall. They stepped inside the Kurgan family's magnificent party hall, which exuded luxury from every corner. The high ceilings were adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers, reflecting light that created an elegant and mesmerizing atmosphere. The walls were decorated with softly colored silk fabrics, and artistically placed fresh flowers added to the decor's beauty."Wow, look how magnificent this place is," Marisa whispered to Morel, mesmerized by the beauty of her surroundings. "This place is like a story in a fairy tale."Morel smiled and nodded. "It really is marvelous. They didn't mess around with the decorations."The gleaming marble floor beneath their feet reinforced the glamor. In the center of the room were long tables laden with delicacies and classy drinks arranged neatly and attractively. Every detail was carefully thought out, from the intricately designed porcelain plates to the crystal glasses glittered in the lamplight
Tucker sighed deeply, trying to contain his mounting anger. "Smartass about fashion, huh? Looks like someone's been listening to too much advice from the butler," Tucker said sarcastically, trying to insult Morel back.Morel raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "I'm not a smartass, but I saw the outfit you wore at the launch one year ago."Tucker was getting annoyed, feeling his pride being trampled on. "You don't know anything about fashion, Morel. Just because your waiter gives you information doesn't mean you understand everything."Tucker paused, his face turning bright red as he looked at Marisa's cell phone screen, which displayed irrefutable evidence. "Wow, it's true, that outfit has been around for a year, just like you said, Morel," Marisa said innocently while continuing to check the information on her cell phone. It turned out that during her silence, Marisa was looking for information about her clothes by searching for the brand of clothes that Tucker had mentioned earlier
Amidst the thunderous applause, some people started talking amongst themselves, impressed and curious about Tucker's gift."Isn't that tea very rare?" whispered one guest. "I heard it can only be grown once a year, and even then, there are very few of them."The other person nodded in agreement, his eyes wide with amazement. "Yes, I heard that too. This tea is really special. It can cost tens of millions of dollars for 10 grams, and he's giving away 500 grams? That's very expensive.""It's really amazing," continued another guest. "I once heard a story about this tea from a collector. They say that there are only a handful of people in the world who can get this tea. Tucker must have gone through a lot of effort to get it.""And to give it as a gift? That shows how much he respects Mr. Keirg," said another in a tone full of admiration. "It's not just a gift. It's a symbol of deep appreciation."Rumors continued to spread among the guests. "I can't believe he was able to get that much.
The guests stared at the small box held by Morel. Their confusion and curiosity were evident. One of them whispered, "Can the contents be more luxurious than the extremely rare tea, or is it the other way around?"The other person nodded, half-believing. "I doubt it could be better than tea from China. But how can Lord Keirg respect it so much?" the guest muttered to himself while still looking at Morel from his seat.Tucker, who saw the small box in Morel's hand, burst out laughing. "What, a small box?" he said in a mocking tone. "Haha, how could you want to give a gift to someone so valuable with such a small gift?" Tucker continued, trying to demean Morel in front of everyone.However, Morel remained calm and undeterred by Tucker's mockery. He strode steadily towards Mr. Keirg, his calculating eyes looking directly at the party host. The atmosphere became increasingly tense. All the guests held their breath, waiting to see what would happen next.In the midst of the silence, Morel
