Seraphine, who was busy looking at the other bags, had her brows furrowed as she looked at the woman in front.

“Uh… Hi?” Seraphine greeted, the confusion evident in her tone. “Do you know me?”

“Well, who won’t?” Trisha answered, her voice laced with annoyance as she crossed her arms.

“You’re famous, Seraphine Carter. Your rank in the Capital increased in such a short time. You got promoted in your job, and…”

She looked Seraphine from head to toe, not even hiding the fact that she was judging her.

“You look like a decent woman now. Money can really do a lot of things, huh?”

Hearing those words, Seraphine couldn’t help but chuckle.

‘I was only here to buy a bag for myself, yet someone I don’t even know would disrespect me like this?’ Seraphine thought, her expression laced with disbelief.

“Wow. I admire your courage in coming at me although we don’t personally know each other,” Seraphine said, the sarcasm evident in her tone.

She added, “Who even are you?”

Smirking, Trisha leaned on the

    “Walking around with your expensive bags, acting all high and mighty. But after all, you’re just a gold digger!” Trisha shouted.A few customers nearby gasped, and the sales associates froze, unsure how to react.Seraphine also felt the same thing. She was shocked as she thumped rapidly, and she was momentarily frozen in place.She tried removing Trisha’s hands that were holding tightly onto her hair, but instead of loosening, the latter’s grip even tightened, her lips curving into a smirk.“No, I won’t let go,” Trisha muttered, pulling Seraphine toward her more. “Do you think you’re superior to me now just because of the sugar daddy you have? No freaking way!”“All the money I spent came from me. The Henverton family is the richest in our town,” she added to brag. “And you? Is the Carter family even rich? No. You’re leeching off to someone else—”Before Trisha could finish her sentence, Seraphine wasn’t able to control herself anymore.She shoved Trisha away with both hands, making h

    Everyone was confused when Oliver suddenly laughed—as if he had just heard a ridiculous thing.Trisha had seen him being humiliated because he was being treated like trash.And in rage because of some circumstances he had experienced.But this was the first time she saw Oliver laughing like crazy, and for some reason, it gave her a different feeling—more anger, frustration, and rage.“What’s so funny?” Trisha asked, her brows furrowing.“You,” Oliver answered, shaking his head as he wiped a fake tear from his eye. “You’re so desperate to tear her down, but you don’t even know the full story.”Trisha narrowed her eyes. “What are you talking about?”Oliver paused for a moment, his gaze scanned the entire area before it returned to Trisha.With a mischievous smirk, he placed a hand on Seraphine’s waist, pulling her closer.“I am Seraphine’s sugar daddy.”Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing those words. They gave Oliver a look of disbelief, while Trisha blinked in surprise.However, aft

    The entire store fell into an eerie silence. The gasps of onlookers, the murmurs of disbelief, and even Trisha’s heartbeat seemed to freeze as they processed what they had just witnessed.Lady Michelle isn’t just an ordinary person; she is recognized internationally. Not just as a fashion designer but also as a business owner.Trisha had dreamed of being associated with someone like her—yet she was now standing in front of Oliver.And not just standing. Bowing.‘What the hell?’ Trisha raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms as she stared at Michelle intently. ‘Is she bewitched or something?’That is what Trisha wanted to believe, but she knew it wasn’t the case.Michelle’s movement isn’t just an act of respect—but deference.“Mr. Hunt,” Michelle greeted, her voice laced with admiration. “It is an honor to see you here.”Trisha and the other onlookers’ jaws fell, hearing how Michelle treated Oliver. It was as if Oliver was a VIP client himself, although Michelle was more popular than h

    Seeing that scenario, Trisha almost stumbled to the ground, feeling like the floor beneath her had crumbled.Oliver turned to her, his gaze playful but sharp. “Still think I can’t afford that bag?” he asked, his voice low yet subtly including mockery.Trisha wasn’t able to answer, and all she could do was stand there with her face pale and body trembling.The reality shattered every lie she had told herself. And the worst part?Oliver knew it.And he was enjoying every second of her downfall.As Trisha remained in her place, Oliver turned to Seraphine, his voice casual.“We’ve wasted enough time here. Let’s go,” he told Seraphine, and the latter nodded in agreement.Oliver talked to the cashier, wanting her to deliver a message.“Tell Michelle that I won’t change my clothes anymore.” His gaze moved toward Trisha. “I don’t like the idea of staying here longer.”Afterward, Oliver held Seraphine’s hand, and they were now ready to leave.But before it could happen, Trisha’s voice suddenl

    Both of them became silent for a moment, knowing that Oliver had a dark past with her.A few seconds later, Seraphine smiled, leaning her head onto Oliver’s shoulder.“Don’t worry about it. I forgive you,” she said, her tone genuine.“I even feel sorry for what you endured by her side. I’m sure it wasn’t pleasant.”“It’s not.” Oliver shook his head, remembering how horrible it was.“But all of it was in the past now. I’m not thinking about it that much,” he added.After that, he opened the car door in the passenger seat for Seraphine.But before Seraphine could enter, hurried footsteps followed them.“Oliver, wait!” rang out someone’s breathless and urgent voice behind them.It was Trisha.Upon seeing her, Oliver exhaled through his nose, already tired of whatever game Trisha was trying to play.He turned slightly, his expression hardening as Trisha caught up to them.“Relax! I just want to talk,” Trisha exclaimed, raising both hands in surrender. “I think there is just a misunderstan

    Hearing those words, Trisha’s nostrils flared as she gave Oliver a deadly glare.“Did you forget how my father helped you before?” she asked, her tone mocking. “You were dying when he took you to our house. Despite us not agreeing to his decision, he still took you in.”She added, “Not only that, but he even requested me to marry you. Yet you’ll act like that to his only daughter? Don’t you have any shame?”Oliver raised an eyebrow, looking at Trisha with confusion.“Like what you said, it’s your father who helped me,” Oliver repeated, emphasizing every word. “So, why would I show kindness to you?”“Because I’m his daughter!” Trisha exclaimed, her anger already exploding. “Without him, you’ll be dead, and you’ll just be the same pathetic man I chose to leave behind!”Trisha’s words reverberated in the alleyway, and the frustration was now evident in her face.She was so desperate for money. Envy was consuming her nonstop while following Seraphine’s whereabouts on social media.The bea

    Seraphine was about to go inside the car again but stopped upon realizing something.“And oh, do you think Oliver loved you back then? He just lost his memories, and you took advantage of it,” Seraphine added.She looked at Trisha from head to toe, her gaze condescending.“Because deep inside his heart, I’m the only one for him, and you can’t even replace me—not even after stripping yourself naked.”Those were Seraphine’s last words before she entered the car, and seconds later, Oliver drove away, leaving Trisha alone.Trisha only stood there, fists clenched, as she only watched the car until she could no longer see it.“Ugh!” Trisha exclaimed, stomping her feet to the ground. “That fucking jerk. Just because he became rich now, he’s treating me like that?!”She bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bled.“And that bitch… Hah! No matter what she does, I’ll always be prettier and elegant than her!” she added. Then, she shrugged. “They suit each other, anyway, so let’s just ignore t

    “Nothing, really. Maybe I was just finding another way to release my stress.”Michelle let go of Trisha’s chin afterward, yet their proximity remained. Trisha could still feel the chills running through her spine because of the kind of look Michelle was giving her.“From now on, don’t wander to this place anymore, and especially, don’t let me see you again,” added Michelle in a dangerously low tone. “Or else, you won’t like what will happen next.”After giving Trisha a final warning glance, Michelle left the place, and the two sales associates followed her inside the bag store.Trisha remained kneeling on the ground. She couldn’t move her body, nor could she breathe properly.Even though she didn’t like it, Michelle’s warning seethed onto her skin, knowing that it wasn’t a wordless statement.High-ranking people like Michelle always do what they have said; threats aren’t an exemption.“Fuck, why is this happening to me?” Trisha exclaimed, looking at the peaceful night sky, yet her mi

    “Shit, shit,” James muttered in panic, checking if the computer was still functioning or not.James opened the computer again and sighed in relief upon seeing that it still worked.“Damn, I thought I unintentionally destroyed it,” James grumbled, wiping the sweat on his forehead. “Fuck. That was close.”“Run through the entire computer and double-check whether that bastard managed to get on the security,” Oliver commanded.Then, he looked at Nick. “Help him double-check everything.”“Yes, Commander,” Nick affirmed.The silence filled their conversation as no one spoke afterward.But they could feel the tension arising in the air, especially with Oliver’s sudden shift in his expression.Sitting on the chair next to James, both of them started to check whether they had been compromised or if the enemy had managed to get through their computer or not.A few minutes later, Nick spoke, “There’s nothing. Our line is clean.”James sighed, leaning his back on the chair.“I don’t think their g

    Nick stood up and entered Oliver’s room, whose door was slightly open.Knocking thrice on the door, he called, “Commander?”The silence followed as Oliver didn’t answer.It caused Nick to push the door open, his movements rushed.He saw Oliver standing in the middle of the room, unmoving.His hand was clenched around the necklace, his eyes wide, but his breathing steady.Too steady.The kind of calm that came after a rush of something overwhelming.“What was that light just now?” Nick asked, his tone half-joking but laced with genuine concern. “Was that magic or something?”Oliver didn’t reply.His gaze moved from the necklace toward Nick, staring at him for a moment.As soon as they locked eyes, Nick felt something different on his body.‘I knew that Oliver’s presence was overwhelming from the start, and it was different from us,’ Nick thought. ‘But what’s with him today?’Involuntarily, the chills sent down his spine.“I’m just joking,” Nick added, forcing a laugh. But it sounded to

    “If that happens, we don’t need to infiltrate Argus Industries again as they would have higher security starting today,” Oliver added.Nodding, Samuel muttered, “As they move the files, that would be our greatest opportunity to attack.”“Exactly.” Oliver clicked his tongue.Nick, on the other hand, had his eyes narrowed at what he heard.“I thought we got all the information,” said Nick. “You saw the research and development facility, the illegal drug transactions, and even the partnership—”"That's the thing I have the most bad feeling with," Oliver spoke before Nick could finish his sentence.Oliver knew Charlie more than the rest of the Legion V members.‘Charlie doesn’t make decisions that he doesn’t think through carefully,’ he thought. ‘So, there must be a reason for his consideration.’“Uhm… Why don’t I ask Charlie instead?” suggested James as if it were that easy to do. “You know, I’m not banned like Legion V.”Hearing those words, Ray’s lips curved into a smirk.“Man, don’t

    “Enough.” Oliver leaned against the doorway, arms crossed.A slight smirk tugged at his lips.“You can argue about coffee and liver damage later. Right now, we need to go over what we pulled from Argus Industries.”Oliver tried to make his voice calm and teasing, making sure he won’t completely ruin the vibe.However, Samuel, who was the most observant in their group, noticed the expression Oliver was trying to conceal.Fear. Worry. Anger.‘But not toward Legion V,’ Samuel thought, and he was certain about it. ‘Maybe it was because of what they found in the office.’“Ugh,” Nick groaned, dramatically flopping onto the couch.He added, “Commander, do we have to do work stuff already as soon as we reach the hideout? Can’t we pretend to be normal for like… five minutes?”Oliver raised an eyebrow.“You want normal? Then join a book club,” he answered as he also sat on the couch. “Now sit up.”Ray chuckled into his cup while Samuel, whose thoughts about Oliver faded, tried not to laugh.Eve

    A few hours later, the Legion V arrived at Nick’s house, which they still use as their hideout.“We’re here,” Samuel stated, clicking a button on the van.In an instant, the van’s color immediately changed from black to white, the same as the plate number on the back.It was one of Samuel’s inventions; this was the first time he used it on a mission.“Damn, that was so incredible!” Nick exclaimed in amusement, his eyes widening as he looked at the car’s interior.Just like the car’s exterior, its interior also changed.Nick added, “If someone sees this, no one would think this is the same van… Or is it?”“It is,” James answered, clicking his tongue as he held onto his phone, playing games. “The car really hasn't changed. It was only an illusion. But if you look closely…”James’ face leaned toward the window, his eyes narrowing.“It was still the same car. The exterior and interior, everything.”Upon hearing those words, Samuel smirked.“You really have a keen eye just like your broth

    “They might have replicated it.”That was Dominic’s realization as his gaze fixated on the folder, his eyes narrowing.“Oliver might not have taken the file, but it doesn’t mean he didn’t know about the information already.”The file was already on his fingertips. He could have just taken it instead of only creating a copy of it.Which means there could be a reason.‘He wanted me to be worried and wonder how much he knew,’ Dominic thought, clenching his fists.And damn, that was so effective.At that moment, there is only one question going through Dominic’s mind, and that is where he should transfer the files so no one else could find it again.***Meanwhile, at the Legion’s headquarters, Charlie was sitting on the chair with both his feet resting on the table.Tons of files were in front of him—something he needed to review as the CEO before the company makes a move on it.And the current file in his hand… was all about what Dominic had given to him a few days before.[Partnership B

    [Zerenette Lakovia and Confidential Protocol.]If they fall into the wrong hands, those files could destroy everyone, including Dominic and everything he built, in a flash.And the wrong hands he was talking about were Oliver and the whole Legion members, not necessarily the Legion V itself.“They had managed to infiltrate Argus Industries…” Dominic muttered, biting his lower lip. “Although it would take a longer time before they come back, eventually, they will.”It’s not a question of whether they will infiltrate again; it's only a matter of time.Pulling the files out of the vault, Dominic whispered, “I need to take care of this before everyone finds it.”It includes the person who called Dominic earlier—his boss.Little did everyone know that although Dominic was obeying all their commands, a part of him wanted to cut all his connections from Argus Industries.But the higher-ups won’t let him do that, so he decided to make those files as leverage, a trade he could use against anyo

    Dominic’s boss was still unconvinced.Although the intruders stayed in the Research and Development Department for a short time, he didn’t believe that they didn’t pick anything up along the way.“Run the report,” commanded the boss.Even though he was panicking, Dominic forced himself to summarize the report on his tablet.“The intruders were named Jerome and Ralph, employees of the technical team,” Dominic read the file.“According to their team leader, he received a text to send some employees from the maintenance team to fix the elevator on the top floor.”His brows furrowed afterward.“But it wasn’t from my employees, especially not from me. I was on a business meeting when this happened.”“I know,” answered the person on the other line with a smirk. “I have your entire schedule, Hawthorne. Did you forget?”Upon hearing those words, Dominic gulped.This was his role in the illegal business he had. Someone who just needed to act like a decoy and follow their commands.A mere puppe

    The next thing Legion V needed to find out was the reason for the partnership.“You’re right, but trust is earned, not given,” Oliver said, his eyes burning with determination.“And we’re going to see whether Charlie is deserving of that trust or not.”***Meanwhile, Dominic had just returned to Argus Industries.He was out of Colossia earlier to meet with a client, but he ended it abruptly upon receiving a text message from his right-hand man.[Argus Industries has been compromised. There were intruders in the building.]“Shit,” Dominic muttered a curse as someone opened the door for him.He entered the building, and he was immediately followed by five bodyguards on the back.One of Dominic’s managers, who was in charge of the top floor, went onto him, immediately keeping up with the pace.“What’s the situation?” Dominic asked, his walk calm yet urgent.“We lost the intruders, Sir,” the manager said, his voice low. He added, “They used an exit from the west wing—a location that wasn
