Maya frowned at the little guy pointing to the gown she wanted. She didn't want to let it go so she tapped Dylan on the shoulder, "I want it too, Mr. Dylan. Please."Dylan's brow raised as he noticed she really wanted that gown. In fact, the way she looked at the other little girl, he was sure it was slowly turning into a competition.He chuckled lowly and directed his gaze at the woman. "I'm sorry but my daughter has already picked that gown and she was about to try it on. There are so many other gowns here so tell your child to pick another.""Try it on? It's you poor people who can't afford it, yet you still come here to try on things that make so many of the clothes dirty," The woman scoffed and looked at him up and down with contempt.Dylan was dressed plainly which made the woman feel like he was incapable of affording anything in the mall, especially a cloth in this model.A lady who overheard it scoffed at the kind of words the woman used. "I'm sorry I don't want to butt in, b

You're quite good at it?"Dylan gave him an 'I don't care' attitude. "I'm not being a comedian, neither am I a comedian. I'm serious."The man chuckled and said, "Fine, young man, I give you full mark for your theatrics, okay then, if you're able to buy everything in the store, then I'll kneel down and bow five times to you.""And I'll slap myself ten times." The rich woman added mockingly."I'm worried that the two of you will cry when the time comes," Dylan retorted sardonically then turned to the other sales lady with short brown hair, who had been standing silently by the side."Do the math. I want to know the amount for every children's clothes in this store. How much will it cost me?" Dylan seriously questioned."Huh, um, y…you are…you are really buying everything?" The short-haired sa

Jackson had been trying to get into Dwayne's office for weeks, and today he finally had the chance. He arrived at the building and walked up to the front desk, where Dwayne's secretary, Sarah, was seated."Hi, Sarah," Jackson said, flashing a charming smile. "Is Dwayne in?"Sarah looked up at him, her eyes narrowing. "I'm sorry, Mr. Jackson, but Mr. Dwayne is in a meeting and cannot be disturbed."Jackson leaned in closer, his smile widening. "Come on, Sarah. You know me. We've had drinks together. I just need to talk to Dwayne for a minute."Sarah hesitated, then nodded. "Okay, but just for a minute. You know where his office is."Jackson thanked her and walked towards the office, taking a deep breath. He knew what he had to do.

"So, does anyone know you have a child?" Princess Mane asked as she looked at Maya who was busy eating.Dylan shook his head and answered, "Nope. Except for Hermione and my godmother, no one else. I'm sure Hermione will tell her mother though and it could escalate to my family but it doesn't matter."Princess Mane sighed and decided to tell him a bitter truth. "You know having a child now means you have a weakness."Dylan lowered his gaze in thought and looked at Maya. He knew that. But it wasn't enough to reject her. She was his only biological family which means he will do all it takes to protect her from any harm whatsoever."I do now." He said as a matter of fact. "I guess I'm just gonna have to try to wrap things up for her safety. For now, I just have to look for a good school I can take her to. I'm sure she's just as smart as me." He continued with a coy and proud smile.Princess Mane could tell how happy he was about it. She just smiled and nodded. "Well, um, yeah, about the U

Dylan and Lord Owens watched the guards drag Jackson out of the room and after that was done, Lord Owens sat down with a huge sigh and looked at Dylan, "So, you said there's something we have to talk about."Dylan nodded, his curiosity overwhelming him once again. "Yeah. It's about Vento. Co."Lord Owens's eyes opened wide cause he felt like that topic came out of nowhere. It was something they were not even supposed to be discussing at such time and even if they were to discuss it, he should have been the one to convey the topic to him."Where…where did you know that?" He asked.Dylan could sense how uneasy he was even though it was kinda faint. "For a while, I've known about that. Even got an encounter with Jarvis Farell." He explained.Lord Owens blinked and lowered his gaze in deep thought. The only basic thought in his mind at that moment was, 'He met with Jarvis Farrell?' "And then, I went to Paradise Mall to buy clothes for my – daughter – and they gave me an Ultimate VIP card
