The crowd stood frozen in stunned silence, grappling with the revelation. The CEO, her face still an impassive mask, bowed her head in deference to Jeremy, returning his card with a gesture that seemed almost respectful.

She knew that the Black Card was not easily acquired. It was the symbol of wealth and power, reserved only for the most influential and powerful families.

Jeremy's possession of such a card confirmed her suspicions that he was hiding his true identity. He was, in fact, an offspring of a prominent family, one that held immense power and influence.

As the truth settled over the crowd, murmurs of disbelief gave way to whispers of speculation. The store, once filled with the enthusiasm of anger, now buzzed with a different energy. Who was this man, and Why could he afford such an expensive collection?

The CEO, though outwardly composed, could not help but feel the stirrings of curiosity in her own mind.

Jeremy's expression turned confident, "Because everything about him is a lie. So, I just expected it and took the initiative. Fortunately for us, I was right." Avery nodded, her face filled with admiration. "For a moment, I thought I would lose you," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "But you've somehow always pulled surprise strings and made our haters feel defeated." With that, she wrapped her arms around Jeremy, pulling him into a tight hug, her gratitude and appreciation p

"This isn't about wealth, Steve. It's about integrity.

With a smile, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a wristwatch, eliciting laughter from the onlookers who couldn't believe that he had presented such a mundane item."You couldn't even afford a proper box for the watch," Mrs. Peters chortled, her amusement apparent.Mrs. Williams, ever quick to defend herself, chimed in with her derisive comment, "Not only is the gift lacking in value but so is the way it's presented. It's clear that Jeremy's ideas are as impoverished as his social standing."She felt a burning rage, having witnessed yet another humiliation at Jeremy's hands. It seemed the young man had an uncanny talent for disrupting their status quo and making fools of the Williams. Mrs. Peters, seizing an opportunity to get a dig in at her rival Mrs. Williams, interjected, "Well, even if the gift might not be the most lavish, at least Jeremy had

What's going on?""He stole a diamond watch!" Mrs.Peter spat, his eyes flashing with fury.

Her newfound respect wasn't lost on him, and he intended to use it to his advantage. He waited for her to speak, a calmness exuding from him that seemed to further unnerve her."I...

I think our lives would be better if we moved away from my grandparents and their constant drama."Jeremy nodded understandingly, "We'll move soon, love. It's part of my plan.

The first time the man came to the school to register his daughter, he was all smiles and very accommodating when did he suddenly turned to this unrecognizable person."You don't even know who you're dealing with. This could get you in a lot of trouble," said another of the disciplinary officers.
