The announcement of the launch came immediately after the discussion between Chloe and Rosalind. Since Rosalind had finally made up her mind, the decision wasted no time in gaining attention.Within the hour, the news spread like wildfire across business networks, high-society circles, and social media platforms. Messages, calls, and congratulatory emails flooded in from every direction.Everyone wanted a piece of Rosalind now. Her name, once whispered in exclusive circles, was now spoken openly, with admiration and calculation.Soon, luxurious cars began arriving in front of The Lucent Hall, the elegant venue chosen for the launch. Its glass exterior reflected the soft morning sun, while well-dressed guests stepped out of their vehicles, escorted by staff to the entrance.The front lot filled quickly with black sedans, matte-grey sports cars, and limited-edition models. A separate valet team was dispatched to handle the overflow.Inside, the lobby was already buzzing. Waiters in cris

Sean blinked, then leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable once again. He hadn’t expected her to say something like that just to get a reaction out of him. Still, he was curious about the trouble that might be heading his way. If Vincent had someone behind him who might come looking for revenge, Sean needed to know who it was in order to deal with them effectively. However, he disliked the fact that something else might disrupt his peace and force him to give up more of his research time. “I’m just curious,” he responded coolly, his tone flat. “Since you’ve already made up your mind about me, I might as well listen.” Sighing, she crossed her arms before speaking. “Vincent might have acted all high and mighty in Granvetton, but he wasn’t the one people truly feared. He might’ve been the face of the terror—but he wasn’t the head of the organization, even though he liked to pretend he was.” Sean tilted his head, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Then who is? If Vincent

Abrill didn’t waste time. She practically dragged Sean across the street, ignoring his grumbles as she yanked open the door to the nearest upscale men’s boutique.The shop was pristine, well lit, and smelled faintly of expensive leather and cedarwood. A few staff members looked up as they entered, their eyes flickering with interest.Abrill walked straight to the nearest rack and addressed a passing staff member with practiced ease.“I’m looking for something suitable for him to wear to a formal party. He’s a bit of a challenge, though.”The moment the words left her lips, a female staff member turned to her with a bright smile.“Good afternoon, Miss Stroud,” she greeted warmly. “Welcome. We’ve been informed of your arrival. Please, this way.”Hearing that, Sean was sure she had planned this from the very beginning. She already knew he wouldn’t refuse.Abrill gave a small nod in return, her heels clicking softly against the floor as she led Sean further inside. The staff was already mo

Her eyes were wide, like she had just seen something terrifying, and the price glared back at her. She blinked, trying to count the numbers and make sure she was seeing it right.Price: 100,285.00 USD.Realizing she wasn’t seeing things, Macy gasped out loud. She quickly lowered the phone like it might burn her and blinked several times, as if the number would magically change. But it didn’t.It just sat there, staring at her.Lucy leaned over Macy’s shoulder, curious after hearing the gasp. When she saw the price, she gasped too.The other workers, seeing both reactions, gathered closer, wondering what could make them gasp like that.“Wait… did it say over a hundred thousand dollars?” Lucy exclaimed.The others heard the price and froze. Silence filled the boutique.Now that they realized Sean had been wearing that shirt—one from a brand they had never even heard of—they all understood he wasn’t just some ordinary guy. And they had already offended him.Instead of trying to make up f

Abrill said nothing. She just stared at Macy, her expression serious. She still couldn’t understand why they had done all of that to Sean when he had clearly done nothing to them.Now that Sean had left her to deal with Macy, she wasn’t going to let her off so easily.“Since I’m the one handling this, you should pay the amount the shirt is worth, Macy,” Abrill said.Hearing that, Macy shook her head repeatedly. She had been minding her own business, but the others had chosen to talk about Sean like that, making her believe he was the loser they claimed he was.And now that she had decided to teach him a lesson and made a mistake, they were all acting as if they had nothing to do with it.She glanced back at the others. Not only were they silent, but none of them tried to help her. Her teeth clenched. If they wanted to ignore her, she would drag them down with her.“I wasn’t the only one who did something to him!” she said sharply, snapping her head back to Abrill. “Right after you left
