Agnes froze when she realized her actions, squeezing her skirt. "Oh my, I suddenly bowed to Althon," she muttered.Althon smiled, looking the other way. Meanwhile, Alvin, Alicia, Kevin, and the others were confused by Agnes' actions. "Agnes." Alicia glanced at Althon, coming closer to Agnes. Agnes let out a long breath. "I-I intended to pick up the broken glass, Alicia. I neglected to let the glass fall.""You don't have to, Alicia. The servants will take care of the broken glass." Alicia pulled Agnes' hand away, rolling her eyes when she saw Althon. Kevin whispered in Alvin's ear, "I wonder if Agnes is bowing to Althon.""You must be crazy, Kevin." Alvin laughed. "Agnes hates Althon so much. So, how could she possibly want to bow to Althon?"Alvin suddenly fell silent when he remembered Noah's words about Althon having a close relationship with Sean Ruild. "This is impossible."Althon reached for a drink, but Alvin brushed his hand away. "What are you doing, Althon? You took my d
Two guards rushed to the crowd. "What happened, Miss?" asked one of the guards. "This man has hurt my boyfriend and my friends!" Alicia pointed at Alvin. "You must take him and punish him!""Follow us, sir. We need to examine you.""Alright. We'll meet at the opening ceremony tonight." Althon waved goodbye, following the two guards. Agnes observed the two guards and was surprised when she noticed one of them. "Mr. Alan," she murmured. Agnes felt her chest beating very fast. "I had expected Althon's subordinates to be watching him from a distance.""What an asshole!" Alvin sat on the chair, grimacing in pain. "Althon wants to take revenge on me.""Be patient, Alvin." Alicia sat beside Alvin, nursing his wound. "We have plenty of opportunities for pranks, Althon. I'm sure he'll get a huge fine from the Mande Island management."Alicia turned to Agnes, helping Alvin up. "I'll walk you to your room, Alvin."Meanwhile, Althon entered the room with Alan. "This room is quite nice." Alth
Agnes hurried to hide when she saw Alicia at the end of the hallway. "Alicia must have gotten suspicious when I walked in with Daddy. Gosh, I mean Althon.""Althon, what are you doing with Agnes?" asked Alicia as she approached. She stopped when she saw Althon's appearance. "Gosh, Althon is so handsome and dashing," she murmured. Alicia didn't blink for some time, shaking her head. "I must be crazy. Althon is handsome, but he's still trash and a loser.""What do you want, Alicia?" Althon asked. Alicia paused when she smelled Althon's perfume. Her chest was suddenly beating very fast. Her lips were so tight that she opened her mouth without saying anything. Althon passed by Alicia, glancing at Agnes hiding behind the wall."Althon, wait!" Alicia immediately caught up with Althon, glaring. "What are you doing with Agnes? I saw you and Agnes talking and walking together.""Agnes suddenly came up to me and scolded me. She said she would report me to the police if I acted impudently."A
Agnes let out a long breath, looking at Alicia, Melissa, and the others. "I'm sure you know about the Paradise Store case a month ago. Paradise's manager and staff offended a VVIP person, so Mr. Sean punished Paradise Store. As one of the representatives of the Paradise Company that oversees the Paradise Store, I have to behave myself to everyone, including Althon."Alicia hugged Agnes. "You must be tormented because you can't insult Althon. You don't have to worry, Agnes. We'll play a prank on Althon and throw him in jail."Agnes looked the other way, closing her eyes. "We need to get back to the venue," Melissa said. Agnes, Alicia, Melissa, and the others joined the teachers. Althon enjoyed the food at the table, looking out at the crowd. "I barely had a close relationship with anyone during school. They shunned me because I was an orphan and not on their level.""Althon, do you mind if I sit with you?" asked Linda. "Of course, Miss Linda. I'd love to have someone to chat with."
Everyone was shocked, except Agnes who looked terrified. "W-what are you saying, Althon?" Alvin looked very annoyed. "Althon, you've gone too far. You've been rude to Alvin and the rest of us, and now you want to punish us." Alicia gave Althon a sharp look. "You guys are the ones who have always been mean to me." Althon gave Alan a nod. "Guards, I want them to clean the pool tomorrow morning. If they refuse, they must pay one hundred thousand dollars in damages.""Althon, you've made a mess of this event." Ryan snorted in annoyance. "You punished Alvin and his friends just because Alvin will douse you. You should be able to behave yourself.""Mr. Ryan, you're even going to report Althon to the police, even though you haven't gotten any evidence that he's guilty. So, who's not being mature now?" Linda said with a cynical look."Miss Linda, you were the new teacher when Althon was in his senior year. You should know that Althon was a troublemaker for a long time. He even beat up many
The party ended a few hours later. The courtyard and beach were quiet. Althon and everyone went back to their rooms. Althon lay on the bed, smiling as he remembered the expressions of Alvin, Ryan, Alicia, and the others. "This event was quite fun. Some people are starting to change and be nice to you, especially Linda. However, Alvin, Alicia, Kevin, and the others are still being rude to me. I wonder what they'll do next."Althon received a message from Alan. "I know what they're planning. I have to act my best to make them happy."Althon took off his suit, smiling as someone knocked on the door. "Has the game started now?"Althon opened the door, looking at Alvin, Kevin, Ryan, and a few other men. "What do you guys want from me?""Althon, you've stolen my fancy watch," Alvin said. "What?" Althon pretended to be surprised. "I lost my watch during the opening ceremony, and you're the most likely man to have stolen my watch.""You're not accusing me without proof, Alvin. I may be poo
"Alvin, what's in your hand?" asked Alicia with a surprised look. "My fancy watch, of course, Alicia." Alvin smiled widely, showing his fancy watch to everyone, especially Althon. "Alvin, you've gone too far," Linda said. "What do you mean, Miss Linda? Althon stole my fancy watch and hid it in a potted plant. Althon is proven to have stolen my luxury watch."Ryan didn't blink for some time. "Alvin."Alicia, Melissa, Kevin, Randy, and the others looked at each other. They felt annoyed and scared when they saw the watch in Alvin's hand. Althon laughed. "I didn't know you had such a unique taste, Alvin. I'll buy that fancy watch for twice the price.""What a jerk! You can't buy my luxury watch with your years of salary, Althon. You ...." Alvin suddenly opened his eyes and mouth wide when he saw a pink toy watch in his hand. "What's this?"Agnes felt very relieved. Althon burst out laughing. Linda and Agnes stifled their laughter while Alvin, Alicia, Ryan, and the others were silent
Althon woke up refreshed and fit. He worked out on the beach and walked to the hills and some interesting locations. "I heard the screams of Alvin, Alicia, Kevin, and the others last night. Alan seemed to have scared them off."Althon swam in the pool, enjoying the tranquility.Alvin, Kevin, Randy, and the others exited the hotel, yawning a few times. They talked about the creepy apparitions they saw last night. "Hey, isn't that Althon?" Kevin pointed at Althon in the pool. "What an asshole! Althon makes me so sick this early in the day," Alvin snapped. "Should we prank Althon now?" asked Randy, "I'm still upset that he escaped our trap."Alvin, Kevin, Randy, and the others approached the pool, watching Althon. They were amazed and envious that Althon was swimming so well. Althon swam to the side of the pool. "You guys better stay away from the pool. I don't want to help you if you drown.""Damn it! You're accusing me of us not being able to swim, Althon!" Alvin snorted in annoyan
