“Did I hear it right? That poor, dirty man, requested for the department manager’s presence to pay for the bags?”

“Is he out of his mind? Did he think that it’s easy to summon the department manager just like that? Who do he think he is?”

“HAHAHA! What a pathetic move! Poor people really don’t have shame, do they?”

The whole area was suddenly filled with laughter and buzz after hearing Damian’s statement. All of them looked at Damian with disgust and disbelief, including Charlotte, who couldn’t help but sneer and shake her head.

“I can’t believe you. Why don’t you just surrender and admit that you lost against me? You just need to beg me to forgive you,” said Charlotte with a mockin

    Suddenly, Damian raised his hand and snapped it. A few seconds later, one of his bodyguards came. He was wearing a casual shirt and pants, but he still exuded the aura of being a bodyguard.“Call the department store director,” instructed Damian in an authoritative tone. “Tell him to fire the department manager and the cashier named Janna this instant. I also want to have some access to the CCTV footage for today. I lost my card. I need to find it.”“Yes, Sir.” The guard nodded and left the place quickly to execute Damian’s order.Damian’s gaze went to Charlotte, Rod, and Janna, and as soon as he did that, the three of them laughed loudly as they had just seen a ridiculous thing.“Oh my God! HAHAHAHA!” Charlotte

    SEEING HOW Damian managed to fire Rod and Janna that quickly, Charlotte’s face went pale in nervousness. She didn’t know what she'd do now. For sure, everyone would kick her out of her friend circle if they knew that she stole an ordinary card.How come she didn’t notice that there was a CCTV camera in the VIP room? Charlotte didn’t know about it!“I’ll give you three seconds to choose. One…”Damian started counting, which made Charlotte’s heart race. Everyone’s attention was on her now, and all of them had a confused expression. They didn’t know what was happening yet since Damian only showed the footage to her, but she still felt humiliated!“Two…”

    As Ava hung up the call, Jasmine, an employee, placed the phone back in its place. “Miss Ava said she'll go here, and that you're dead meat once it happens.”Damian smirked, expecting that answer from Ava. He knew Ava would be pissed because he, of all people, had summoned her in a threatening way. But this was the only way he could talk to her about Dollie.“Here are the documents you requested,” Jasmine said, handing Damian some piles of documents. “It included all the expenses for your graduating year in your university and your academic scholarship status.”Damian opened the file and scanned it. Although he had just recently trained at Mid-Centuries Elegance Events as an intern, the experience helped him a lot to notice some abnormalities in the document.

    THE TENSION arose in the air as Ava and Damian started to each other. They were like in a staring contest, intimidating one another so one of them would admit defeat.But no one did… Not until Damian looked away.It’s not because he was afraid of Ava. Rather, Damian was more afraid of what he could do if his patience reached the limit. His movement caused Ava to smirk.“A complaint? Who would believe you?” Ava asked, her voice laced with intimidation. “I am the fucking higher-up, Damian. I am a part of the Medivien family. You know what I am capable of, and you know how I can bury this conversation right here, right now…”Ava stepped forward, narrowing the distance between her and Damian. She admits it, she was afraid of

    DAMIAN COULDN’T hide the smirk on his face, seeing how Ava suddenly panicked after seeing the card he had. He knew what she was thinking, but he didn’t even bother to correct it. Ava had never been so good at controlling her emotions, unlike him. After seconds of strolling around the rooms, Ava found a room that she thought was empty. She opened the door by kicking it and saw a young man sleeping in the corner. “Get out,” Ava instructed the young man, her tone cold. The man didn’t answer immediately as his mind was in a haze. “Didn’t you hear me? I said, get out!” “Y-Yes!” The young man suddenly ran outside the room in fear of annoying Ava, not minding if he tripped a lot of times before finally reaching the door. Ava, as soon as she ensured that she was alone with Damian, went to the door and locked it. “This is interesting,” Damian commented, smirking, as he gave Ava a mocking gaze. “I thought you didn’t want to be associated with me anymore, yet you brought me here.” Ava di

    “FUCK,” Damian cursed, moving the phone away from his ear, afraid that Nicole's high-pitched voice would break his eardrum. “I can hear you clearly. You don’t need to shout.” “Is this how petty you are, huh? That you messed up with the documents just to take revenge on me? How unprofessional!” Nicole shouted again, ignoring Damian’s statement earlier. “I don’t know what Ma’am Kierra saw in you that she let you be an intern at this company, but you don’t deserve it, you freaking shit!” Damian sighed, seeing that Nicole still had the same personality as before. Every time things don't turn in her favor, she tends to blame everyone for it. Now, she was doing it again to him. “I didn’t mess up with any document, Nicole. I don’t even know what you’re talking about,” Damian replied calmly despite Nicole being hysterical, knowing that letting his emotions control him is not a good way of solving a problem. “Don't pretend to be innocent, Damian!

    “FREYA? Hey. Earth to Freya?” Violy hit Freya on the waist using her elbow, causing Freya to snap on her senses this time. “Are you that shocked? I thought you were not interested in him?”“N-No. It’s just that… He looked different.” Freya turned around, only to see Damian staring at her with his cold expression. As they met gazes, Damian moved his head and looked at the other employees.‘He wasn’t checking me out.’ Freya shook her head internally as she was certain of her thoughts. ‘He was like… Investigating us.’ And as she realized that, she immediately knew that something was wrong.And she was right.Damian, although he looked cold and calm from the outside, was panicking on the inside. As he went inside Kierra’s office earlier, he asked about the intensity of the situation, and he didn’t like what Kierra had said.“It took us almost six months to prepare it all. The threat of new entrants in the event planning industry is getting high, but we managed to keep our ranking in the t

    THE ENTIRE ROOM was filled with tension after hearing Damian’s words. They never expected Damian to accuse one of them of stealing the crucial documents needed to sustain their operations. “How could you say that?” Rachel, one of the event managers, asked in shock. “Before you even became an intern, all of us here are together working our ass off to do tons of projects and eliminate problems. Just how dare you accuse that one of us is a stealer?” “I’m not accusing everyone. What I said is just based on facts…” Damian’s gaze went to Kierra, who was silent while observing everyone in the room. “Ma’am Kierra thinks the same thing, and I know some people here understand where I’m coming from, too.” “Ma’am Kierra! Even you?!” Rachel asked their operations manager, her hands on her chest, trying to maintain composure but failing. “We’ve all been here for years! How could you think that one of us here is a traitor and believe that intern’s words blindly?!” “He has a point, Rachel. And I k

    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
