“ARE YOU subtly confessing that you did something to sabotage my award?” Damian asked, smirking as he raised an eyebrow.

“No. I’m just saying that you expected to get the Social Impact Award, but you know what? The board of directors realized you didn’t deserve it at the right time. That I deserve it more than you,” replied Ethan in a mocking tone. “It was a sudden change of judgment, so they weren’t able to inform you anymore, but they informed me beforehand so I could prepare myself.”

Damian’s eyebrow raised higher, seeing that Ethan was being unusually talkative for today. “Then you should have said that as a part of your speech. Why are you telling everything to me even though I’m not interested?”

“Not interested? You can’t fool me, Damian. It is seen on the cameras how shocked and frustrated you are when they called my name instead of yours,” Ethan said, smiling from ear to ear. He pointed at Damian’s phone afterward. “I guess you are not yet aware of what was happening. Look at

    THE HOST’S words made everyone stop in their tracks, especially those people who were about to go home. All of them obliged as they went back to their seats, intrigued by the sudden result of the most prestigious annual award.“Outstanding person of the year? But I thought it was only announced at the Annual Awards happening at the main event.”“Oh my gosh! Is this the reason why almost all of the representatives were here at this event? This is so surprising!”“That’s why there are reporters everywhere, too! Girl, I’m glad that we came here!”Every guest started gossiping to each other, but they stopped when the host cleared her throat in the microphone, gaining everyone’s attention.“The Outstanding Person of the Year is an award given to individuals who demonstrated exceptional achievements, contributions, and leadership, creating a positive impact on the community…” the host explained. “Do you have any idea who will receive this award?”“Carter!” Most of the guests answered as the

    While Damian was on the stage, he clapped loudly and encouraged every guest to do the same. Seconds later, the whole place was filled with people cheering for Damian. “Congratulations, Damian!” Carter shouted like a proud brother as his smile went from ear to ear. “What are you doing?” Carson muttered, his brows furrowing. “Showing you a lesson.” Carter stopped clapping this time as his smile converted into a wicked one. “I know that you are threatened by his existence, and to be honest, everyone does.” He looked at Luther and Ethan, who were sitting on their side. “But remember the position you have as the Ferremento family’s next heir. It is yours no matter what they say.” Carson couldn’t help but smile as he felt reassured by Carter’s words. However, when he looked at the stage, he scowled. ‘You are irritating me more than you should, Damian. I will make sure to take you down after this,’ he promised himself. But never did Carson think that at that moment, what he was planning

    “Are you…Are you threatening me right now?!” Ava shouted, her eyes narrowing in disbelief.“No. I don’t find the need to threaten you,” Damian answered coldly. “Because you will not tell anyone about this.”Ava crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. “And how can you be so sure? Who knows if I might plan to tell the truth to everyone?”“You cared so much about Cielo’s perspective of you, and it’s highly likely that he now knew about what you did, too,” Damian explained. “Although you can’t accept it, your family benefits from this. Who knows what Cielo will do to you once he finds out you did something again to ruin your family’s reputation?”“You!” Ava gritted her teeth, wanting to attack Damian, but she restrained herself. “I don’t know why you are acting toward me this way. You can do everything to destroy the relationship I have with Carson, tell the truth to everyone so you can humiliate me, and take revenge. But…Why?”With that question, Damian pondered for a moment, remembering

    “Alright. I will not pull you out from the Mid-Century Elegance Events but it will only be for formality. I already instructed Diana not to give you another set of workloads after finishing your current tasks,” Veron said.Damian was about to disagree but Veron spoke again. “You have so many tasks at hand, and I can’t risk your well-being despite the need to train you. You also have tasks from your organization, too,” Veron explained, and the worry was evident in his expression. “You are making me proud now, Son. So you can relax for a while and enjoy the fruit of your hard work.”Hearing those words from Veron, Damian smiled. “Thank you, Father.”“You are welcome.” Veron’s smile widened. “ Just in case you will be overwhelmed by the work, contact me immediately. And you don’t need to work in the restaurant—Just observe the process and see if there is anything we can improve. I will delegate it to the Strategy Department.”“Okay.” Damian smiled and caressed the clip he attached to hi

    A FEW days later, Veron successfully transferred Damian to the Tea and Treasure Restaurant located in the suburban area of Bee City. Like Veron told him, he was only there to observe, but he helped the waiters from time to time.“Sir, you don’t need to do that,” said Miles, one of the janitors in the restaurant when he saw Damian cleaning the dishes from the customers who went out. “Let us do it. Our manager instructed us not to let you help here.”“It is fine. I also worked like this before, too, so I can manage.” Damian surveyed the surroundings and saw that many customers were coming inside. “We have more customers than our people. I guess we are lacking manpower here. May I ask why there are only a limited number of people here in this restaurant?”“I think it is because they thought this place is located in a suburban area, but I’m not sure.” Miles scratched his head, unsure of his answer. “But some people from the different cities were visiting this place, too. I saw them taking

    “No,” Damian answered without hesitation.“What?” Harris looked at Damian in disbelief. “Then, how brave of you to go here even if you are not in a high-ranking position, huh!”“Remember the guy who humiliated me in the accounting office while you were not around? It is him.” Cassandra stood up and flirtatiously clung her hands to Harris’ arm, intentionally pressing her chest against him. “Can you take revenge on him for me?”“Is that so?” Harris asked, gritting his teeth, annoyed. “Then you are dead now.” He looked at Damian intently.However, Damian only shook his head, and the side of his lips rose. “I don’t bring any personal grudges in business and work, so whatever issue you have against me, you can contact me after business hours, although I’m still busy on other things after this.”“You—” Harris was about to react, but Damian didn't even let him finish his sentence.“Let’s go back to our main problem here.” Damian turned his direction toward Jeffrey and asked, “Are you sure he

    “What is your order, Dollie?” Harris asked Dollie, who looked annoyed as she kept her gaze on the window.“Just water,” she answered coldly.“Are you sure?” Harris raised an eyebrow. “All of us are having tea, and you just like water?”“Yeah.” Dollie made a bombastic side eye to Harris, irritated with his question—Or rather, his existence. “I ordered a gourmet meal, too. It should be enough.”“Well…” Harris shrugged as Dollie’s gaze went back to the window, admiring the view. He looked at the menu, his brows furrowing. “For a restaurant in this place, I think they are pricing their menu too much.”“I saw from the reviews that the tea and snacks here are delicious. Maybe that’s why the prices are like those in the City,” said one of Cassandra's friends.“Hmm. You may be right, but I still find this ridiculous.” Harris smirked and called the waiter, Jeffrey. “I would like to order this, this, and this…” He pointed at their orders as he spoke again. “And I would like a Strawberry Herbal

    “OKAY.” Dollie stood up and wiped her mouth using a face towel, continuing to ignore Cassandra. “The gourmet meal is delicious, anyway. If only I knew that you were working in this restaurant, I would have ordered more.”“There is always a next time for everything,” Damian answered, and Dollie only nodded while smiling. “For now, you should leave and rest.”“No, you are not going to leave us alone, Dollie! Not this way!” Cassandra fumed, her voice laced with frustration and anger. “Block her way!” she added, signaling her two friends.They stood up as they were about to hold Dollie on both sides, but stopped when Damian approached them in his intimidating aura.“Touch her, and I will crack all your bones,” Damian said, his tone menacing, and his gaze dark. “I don’t know how to differentiate gender when I’m mad, and if I were you, I would sit silently and not do anything.”“Don’t listen to him, okay? He is just all talk!” Cassandra told them, but the two women already stopped in their

    Epilogue: The Last Retaliation

    THE hostage-taking Carter did in the warehouse spread in various news channels like wildfire. Everyone was shocked because of his sudden escape from prison, making the residents afraid for their safety, knowing that the management wasn’t doing their job properly to monitor the prisoners.With that, the warden and his apprentices, who were also under Carter’s authority, were fired from their jobs. They were replaced by a management who cared about their citizens, removing the patronage system in the prison, and bringing back justice at the same time.Due to Carter’s crimes being in high intensity, he was transferred to a high-security prison. Carter could only laugh as his mind was still in the past, thinking how rich and powerful he was, even though that wasn’t the case now.Carter had already gone insane, but it was only the beginning of his suffering.“At last, you finally arrived,” Catelyn, who was waiting in Carter’s cell, greeted. “Did you miss me?”“What are you doing here?” Cart

    Chapter 336: Let's End This Now

    THE lights were flickering, adding tension in the air, as Damian entered the warehouse alone. He doesn’t have any guns or other weapons with him, nor he didn’t call anyone like Carter instructed.Damian was on high alert as he continued walking when suddenly, two men wearing full black clothes started to approach him with their guns.‘Fuck,’ cursed Damian at the back of his mind, seeing how helpless he was right now.Especially after seeing Ava tied to the chair, his mouth gagged, while Catela is sleeping in the crib beside her.Despite the situation, he couldn’t give up. Damian needed to save himself along with Ava and Catela and end this fight with Carter so it wouldn’t repeat.The two men tied Damian’s hands and feet to the chair, but unlike Ava, they didn’t gag him.“It is so unusual to see how obedient you are. I never thought you could do it,” Carter, who appeared from the shadows, smirked upon seeing Damian being helpless. “That’s right. They will always be safe as long as you

    “That was not enough for all the bullshit you did to me before. But for now, let’s call it even," Damian said.Carson only shook his head as he wiped the blood on his lips before leaving the house. And the only thing that was running through his mind was how strong Damian’s punch was… before until now.THE NEXT morning, Carson didn’t just confess what he did to the board members, but he conducted a press conference to publicly apologize to Damian. He knew that Damian deserved to clear his name and regain his reputation, and although his public apology wasn’t enough, he still did it to show his sincerity.“Starting today, Carson Ferremento is now terminated as the CEO, and will face two years of suspension because of him ruining the Ferremento Corporation’s reputation,” Piper announced, her tone colder than usual. “The position will go back to Damian Giovanni Ferremento.”Carson smiled sadly, but he knew he needed to accept the consequences of his actions.However, since Damian had a

    “That bastard. He told you that even though you have a husband?” Carson asked, his teeth gritting.“Well, this is just an arranged marriage, and he knows it.” Ava shrugged. “To be honest, I would marry a man like him although he isn’t the richest, than stay with a puppet like you, who only knows how to follow someone else—”“Here,” Carson interjected, giving Ava the signed papers. “I will let you take Catela because I need to deal with something, but I will take her away from you once I'm done.”“Hah. As if I will let you do that.” Ava scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Thank you for this, Carson. Catela will benefit so much from this.”And as if Ava was waiting for this to happen, when she went again to their bedroom to take Catela, she already had her luggage with her and was talking to someone.“Yes, he already signed the divorce paper, and I’m all set…” Ava said, smiling from ear to ear. “Oh, your bodyguard is outside the house already? Alright. I will let him in.”Ignoring Carson, Ava

    After Carter went out of the house unnoticed, that was the only time Carson could breathe properly. He didn’t even realize he was suppressing his breath because of fear.‘Is that really the brother I used to be with ever since I was a child?’ Carson thought, his heart racing, as he leaned into a tree. ‘We are family. Why would he threaten me like that? Is the company and the organization more important to him than me?’And upon asking himself that question, Carson got his answer. Carter wouldn’t mind killing everyone who would be a hindrance to his plans, and he is not an exemption.His gaze went to the house—Something he had because of Carter. Everything he had was him, not giving Carson any chance to carve out his own identity. He was only known for his surname, and for all his careless actions when he was in teenager days.The only thing he had that wasn’t connected with Carter was Dollie, whom he took for granted, and now his family; Ava, his wife, and Catela, their child.“Ava,”

    Realizing that Damian needs him right now, Veron took his phone and called a number. It was someone he thought he would never talk with again.“Veron,” Charlie Wiles, the CEO of the Legion Mercenaries, called. “It has been a long time, huh? What do you need this time?”“I have to ask you for a favor,” Veron replied.“A favor?” Charlie raised an eyebrow. “If it is about our operations, I’m sorry, but I need to decline. You know that we can’t take clients in other countries other than Colossia, right?”“I know that. You are not taking me as a dumb person, aren’t you?” Veron shot back, his voice laced with irritation now. “I need someone I trust to do this task for me, and I’m willing to pay any amount you want for it.”“Any amount, huh? Talking to rich people is different.” Charlie chuckled on the other line, yet he became serious afterward. “But alright, deal. What is it that you want me to do?”“I want you to find Correl Ferremento’s location and kill him,” Veron commanded, his tone s

    “Carson,” Damian called as his eyes darkened in anger. “It is you, isn’t it?”“If you are asking about the new CEO of this company, yes. It’s me,” Carson answered, smirking, as he placed the documents he brought to the table. “Why? Are you surprised that a person who was once a happy-go-lucky like me would be chosen to replace you?”“Why would I be surprised if you planned everything for this to happen?” Damian shot back, the annoyance evident in his tone. “Seeing you in front of me now just strengthens my hunch. It was you who messed up with the data. How could you?”Carson’s smirk widened. He didn’t answer. Instead, he stood proudly in the middle with his arms folded.“I’m not here because of the shitty things you accuse me of, but because I have given the board of directors a proposal strategy that you can’t provide.” Carson slid the document in front of Damian. “Here. Look at this.”Damian didn’t move at first, but a few seconds later, he took the folder and looked at its contents

    “Young master,” James, whom Damian called, answered on the other line. “Young master Carson is still doing his old routine; working in his office the whole day and going home afterward.”“How certain are you?” Damian asked.James’ brows furrowed, but he still answered in a polite tone, “I’m always monitoring him, young master. I didn’t even let him out of my sight.”“I know, but something might have happened that slipped your notice,” Damian said, his tone low and serious. “The Ferremento Corporation is in chaos right now, and I’m sure Carson is involved with it. I need you to think carefully.”James obliged. The tip of his brows pressed harder on each other upon recalling the surveillance, and his lips widened as he remembered something.“There was one incident. A few days ago, Miss Ava Medivien bumped into me and caused a commotion. For a moment, I lost sight of young master Carson’s office,” confessed James. “But it was only for a few seconds.”“And that is the only amount of time t
