Vin and the Paradise Store staff were shocked, dropping the shopping bags from their hands. They stared at Althon in disbelief and locked eyes with each other. Even so, they didn't dare say anything. "Young Master," Vin said in a small voice. He knew that he and his staff had made a fatal mistake and were waiting to be punished."Sean, I want to leave this place as soon as possible. You need to make sure my groceries arrive safely at my house." Althon walked towards Sean's car, turning to Noah. "I understand, Young Master." Sean bowed, signaling his bodyguards, walking after Althon. Sean's bodyguards loaded Althon's bags of groceries into the car. Noah and everyone else watched in silence. Althon moved closer to Noah, smoothing the man's suit. He chuckled when he saw Noah's pale face. "It's good to see you, Noah. I can't wait to see you again. Have a good night."Noah gulped repeatedly, staring at Althon's departure. He pinched his thigh as hard as he could and tried not to wince
"Althon, how are you?" Anthony asked as he ran over. He approached with some guards and a doctor."I'm fine, Grandpa. You don't have to worry about me."Anthony checked Althon's condition, turning to a man in a white coat. "Go check on my grandson right now. I don't want him to get hurt.""Grandpa." Althon was surprised when a doctor approached him. "I'm just having a little trouble with some people.""No one should insult and hurt you, Althon. You are my precious grandson. I won't forgive myself if you get hurt." Anthony wiped away tears, looking worried. "Grandpa." Althon looked at Anthony intently. He could see that his grandfather was very worried about him. "I thought that the trouble at the Paradise Store was no big deal because I was often bullied and mistreated by others. However, Grandpa can't accept how people treat me after all the things he's been through," he muttered."I'm sorry for making you worry, Grandpa." Althon wiped away the tears on Anthony's cheeks. "I won't le
"You can come out now, Noah," a policeman said as he opened the door.Noah scrambled to his feet, shaking off the hands of the prisoners who were about to grab him. "I'm not guilty. I shouldn't be in this place. I'll sue for damages."Noah followed the police, ignoring the prisoners who shouted at him. He brushed off the hand of a prisoner who tugged at his shirt until he nearly fell over. When he looked in the mirror, he saw his disheveled appearance. Noah had not slept for most of the night. His stomach was so hungry that he hadn't touched his food. He threw up when he saw his food. "I had the most horrible night of my life. I'm thankful that this hell ended quickly. I would have gone crazy if I had been in this place longer."Noah burst into tears when he saw the courtyard. The police wouldn't let him contact his family. "What a jerk! I don't accept this humiliation."Two of Sean's bodyguards approached Noah. "We've brought your car. You can leave now. You should be thankful that
"Althon." Alvin rubbed his eyes repeatedly to make sure that the man was Althon, the person he had been looking for for days. He didn't accept the insult that the man had done to him at the club. Alicia turned her head. "Yes, that man is Althon. I saw him in that place when I went to the hospital. We have to catch him, Alvin. Don't let Althon escape again. He must take responsibility for the trouble he caused."Alvin kicked the driver's seat. "Turn around now and catch the damn guy!" The car made a U-turn, traveling fast and overtaking several vehicles. Alvin contacted his subordinates. "What the hell are you guys doing, assholes? I've paid you handsomely to find Althon, but you're taking your time. I found Althon in the city center. Arrest him now!"Alvin snorted in annoyance, touching his cheek. "I won't let you go, Althon. You should rot in prison forever."Alvin got the message from James. His eyes and mouth suddenly opened very wide. "I have to go home immediately.""Alvin, wh
Althon jumped down, wiping off the sweat and petting his horse. "This has been a lot of fun. I can't wait to start training tomorrow.""You still have plenty of time to enjoy your vacation today, Young Master." Alan handed Althon a bottle of cold drink. "What do you want to do after this?""I want to meet with Sean. I want to get to know him better.""I'll call Sean to meet you.""No, I'll meet Sean at his office. I haven't explored all parts of Adu Island because of the incident at the Paradise Store.""I understand. I'll prepare everything you need right away."Althon cleaned up and changed his clothes. He looked at his reflection in the mirror. "I like my father's style. It suits me."Althon and Alan drove to Adu Island. The group of cars sped down the highway, overtaking vehicles, and passing shops and luxury buildings. Althon looked back at the road, smiling. "Paradise Stores are closed all over Emerald Place. They deserve it. However, I'm sure they'll try to persuade Sean to ca
Althon turned around instantly. He saw Agnes standing there, looking at him with suspicion and hatred. Sean told him that Agnes had come to talk about the Paradise Store punishment. "I was just relaxing. What do you want from me, Agnes?" Althon glanced at Agnes. Agnes was beautiful, popular, and did well in school. She was even more beautiful than Alicia. Unfortunately, Agnes often bullied him with hurtful words back in school. Agnes hated Althon because he was always above her in her studies. Her father demanded that she be perfect in all subjects, and Althon was the enemy that stood in her way. He even stayed on top until the end of school. Agnes rolled her eyes. "Althon, you must take responsibility for hitting Alvin at the club. You suddenly ran away from the club like a coward.""Alvin has been bullying me all through school. He even ordered Alicia to pretend to be my girlfriend, even though I never bothered him or acted mean to him during this time. He treated me so badly ju
Agnes wiped the sweat from her forehead, running towards the parking lot when she saw the man. Her life would be in danger if she didn't apologize to him immediately. Agnes suddenly bowed. "I'm sorry for bumping into you, sir. Please forgive me."The man closed the car door, looking confused. "You already apologized to me. I have no problem with that.""I am truly sorry. I promise not to repeat my mistake."The man entered the car, leaving the building. Agnes checked her cell phone. She smiled when she got a message from Sean. However, her face suddenly tensed up when she read the message. "That person is not the person Mr. Sean is referring to. Then, who did I offend?"Agnes calmed down, closed her eyes, and recalled all the events in this place. "I was so annoyed at Althon that I probably gave someone a cynical look and offended him without realizing it. I only have five to ten minutes left." Agnes apologized to everyone she met in the corridors, lobbies, and elevators. She didn'
"What exactly happened?"Agnes stared at Althon without blinking. Her chest still pounded even though the conversation had just ended a few seconds ago. She was very sure that the voice was Sean's. "Young Master." Agnes stared at the grass, clenching her fists tightly. Her body trembled from head to toe. She pinched her arm and winced when she felt pain. "This is not a dream."Agnes shook her head several times, pinching her arm and wincing in pain again. "Althon asked Mr. Sean to meet him at this place, and Mr. Sean called Althon 'Young Master'. I didn't hear that wrong."Althon tried not to laugh when he saw Agnes' expression. "You must be shocked, Agnes. Your expression reminds me of Noah's yesterday," he muttered.Agnes closed her eyes tightly, opening them slowly. She wanted to make sure this wasn't a dream. She suddenly opened her eyes wide when she was still in the courtyard where Althon was standing nearby. "How long will you keep sitting on the grass, Agnes? Do you want to
