"Let me out!" Selune kept banging on the door of her room.She didn’t expect to be locked up like a prisoner, as soon as she got home."You’re not going anywhere." Ana's angry voice rang through the door." Letting you out will cause more trouble. " Ana’s voice cracked with fury.Selune heard the sharp click of heels fading away, and knew her mother had made up her mind.She wasn’t going to let her out anytime soon.Suddenly, a scream pierced the silence. Her mother’s voice.Selune shot her eyes upright, found out it was morning already.She had just drifted off to sleep.She scrambled for the doorknob, but as expected, it was locked.With no way out, she pressed her ear to the door.The voices were muffled, but she could still make out a few words."News... engagement... scandal..."Selune’s stomach twisted. She knew exactly what had happened.The Wells family must have bribed the morning show to blow the whole thing out of proportion, pinning the blame on the Hertbers.Her heart tur

He handed her the paperwork with a polite nod.Selune blinked, stunned, but quickly regained her cool.With a confident smile, she took the contract, her fingers brushing the thick paper.As the CEO of a company, she’d signed her fair share of deals.She skimmed the document, but her heart skipped a beat when she saw the number—one billion dollars.The secretary saw her hesitation and added, "You don’t have to worry about a thing. This contract is real, and there are no hidden catches. It's all for you."Selune almost couldn't believe her luck. It was like they were handing her free money.She took the pen and signed her name with a flourish."I have no doubt about the Charles family’s sincerity. Please give my regards to Mr. Charles. I look forward to our future cooperation together."The secretary was clearly impressed by how composed she was.Meanwhile, Elina was boiling with jealousy.She watched as Selune signed the contract like it was nothing, her mind racing.Why couldn’t I be

Arthur arrived just in time to see a crowd swarming the entrance to the company, voices clashing in heated argument.In the center of the chaos stood Selune, a stunning blonde beauty, surrounded by two police officers.Her hands were cuffed, and even in a professional suit, her curves were impossible to ignore.It was clear—this was not how she had imagined her day going.Across from her, a woman with a face covered in angry, red boils screamed at Selune, her voice shaking with fury."Your company’s product ruined my skin! You malicious witch—poisoning your cosmetics to harm people!"Selune stayed calm, but the eyes of the crowd on her were making her skin crawl.Her company's products had passed all the tests—everything was supposed to be safe.How could this woman’s face have turned out like this?The woman glared at Selune’s flawless skin, green with envy, before her next words cut through the air."I’ll give you two choices: One, pay me 200 million dollars. Two, scar your own face

“Damn it!” Selune’s face went pale. Ana smirked, her eyes gleaming with amusement. “I knew this was a waste of time,” she muttered. Part of her was relieved Arthur had signed that waiver—at least this mess wasn’t the Herbert family's fault. But the other part of her? She was worried that the Black Snake Gang would retaliate against them. ‘This idiot’s as good as dead,’ Harold thought, grinning. ‘He’s gonna regret showing off in front of all these people. The Black Snake Gang’s gonna tear him apart.’ If the gang needed someone to take the fall, Arthur was a prime target. As long as they didn’t go after his whole family, Harold figured he’d be fine. He was almost excited to see Arthur fail—maybe get caught and tortured. After all, Arthur had nearly broken his wrist once. What Ha

"Three..." "You're full of crap! I… I can't be wrong!" "Two..." "How dare you talk about my father like that?" Marco snarled, pulling out his gun and aiming it straight at Arthur’s forehead. "One." Arthur stared down the barrel, not even flinching. His eyes never left the elderly man lying on the bed. As the countdown hit zero, everyone in the room held their breath, waiting. But… nothing happened. "Hah! I knew it! This guy's just bluffing!" Dr. Müller forced himself to stay calm. He was a pro at what he did, but seeing Arthur so sure of himself made him second-guess everything. Three long seconds passed before he finally dared to breathe. "Die!" Marco shouted, his pati
