Chapter 61
At that moment, everything turned still, Tyler's ex-wife stared at Calista, her eyebrows furrowed. “What are you even saying?” she asked, genuinely confused. “We told you already. Tyler is a nobody he doesn't know anyone. How many times are we going to repeat ourselves? What are you talking about?!”Her voice was slightly raised, but it wasn’t filled with anger only confusion. She didn’t understand where Calista’s rage was coming from, and the more she looked at her, the more she noticed something strange.Calista's eyes weren’t filled with fury anymore.They were… lost. Panicked. As if something much bigger had just broken her.Before the confusion could settle, Tyler’s ex-wife’s mother adjusted herself even more, rubbing her neck, still recovering from the grip Calista had around her throat.She muttered sharply, “What the hell is wrong with you, Calista? Why are you grabbing me like a criminal? Is this how you repay people who welcomed you? What are you even talking about? Why are

At that moment, upon hearing what Tyler's ex-wife’s father had said, Tyler’s ex-wife and her mother didn't even wait for him to continue.They turned immediately and rushed down the hallway toward the private ward where their grandfather had been kept under close medical observation.Their heels clacked against the tiled floor as they ran, panic rising in their chests like a storm they could no longer control.When they got to the room, they pushed open the door, expecting the usual soft hum of machines and the sight of their grandfather resting.But what they saw instead nearly knocked the breath out of them.The room was in complete chaos.The medical equipment was flashing red alerts, the attending nurses were frantically moving around, adjusting machines, calling out numbers and vitals, and one of the doctors was trying to stabilize their grandfather, who now looked pale unnaturally pale and unresponsive. His breathing was shallow, and his body looked far more fragile than it did

At that moment, inside the silent and serene VIP-exclusive room draped with crystal lighting and golden decor, the director of Everything Luxury was on his knees. His voice trembled with guilt as he looked up at Tyler’s mother, pleading.“Madam, please… I am very, very sorry,” he said, his palms pressed together in front of his chest. “For the way my staff treated you… and for what that lady said. Please, forgive me. If I had been more competent… if I had taken my responsibility seriously, none of this would have happened. I failed you.”However Tyler’s mother stood still for a moment, watching the man before her. His expensive suit was wrinkled from kneeling, and sweat clung to his forehead despite the cool air. It was clear to her—he wasn’t pretending. This was a man who feared not just for his job, but for the consequences of offending someone far above his understanding.Still, she took a deep breath and said calmly, “Please stand up. I’ve already forgiven you.”Upon hearing what

Then Tyler’s thumb hovered over the screen. His heart skipped a beat—not because he feared her, but because he had no idea what she wanted from him now. The timing… it felt too strange.He glanced at his mother, who had already turned to admire a soft lavender silk gown. A faint smile was growing on her face, one he hadn’t seen in years. That smile alone was enough to make him forget about the world for a moment.But the phone rang again, and it was still Evelyn. He stared at it, at that moment, Tyler’s fingers hesitated for just a second longer before he finally answered the call. The screen went dark as the connection clicked in, and he lifted the phone slowly to his ear.He didn’t even get the chance to speak.Evelyn’s voice exploded through the receiver, her tone sharp and drenched in arrogance. “What kept you waiting?! Didn’t you see me calling?!”Tyler blinked, taken aback by the immediate assault of words.“You had the nerve to let my call ring twice?” Evelyn continued, her v

At that moment, Evelyn’s mother couldn’t even believe her ears. She blinked fast, staring at her daughter with shock and rising fury. “He ended the call on you?” she asked, her voice trembling with anger. “That bastard had the audacity to end the call on you?”Immediately her face twisted with even more disgust. “Who does he think he is? What gave him the right?”Evelyn didn’t say anything. She was still holding the phone tightly, her jaw clenched, her pride stung deeply by Tyler’s defiance. But before she could even gather herself to respond, her father slammed his hand on the table.“This is exactly what we get for bringing that street rat into this family!” he roared. “We gave him a roof over his head, gave him food, gave his mother shelter! And now, this is how he chooses to repay us? By raising his shoulders and hanging up on my daughter? On us?”His fists were shaking, his face red from shouting. “He’s forgotten where he came from! Forgotten that he and that stupid looking woman

Then Tyler smiled softly.“Mom,” he said gently, interrupting her with warmth in his tone. “If you’re really serious about this… about opening your own place… then there’s no way I’m going to say no. I’d never stop you from chasing something that makes you happy.”His mother blinked, touched by his words. But Tyler wasn’t finished.“But,” he added, his smile now turning serious, “we have to do this the right way. Not one of those small stalls tucked behind the market or a shop that leaks when it rains.”His mother chuckled lightly, knowing exactly the kind of places he was talking about.“You’ve poured your whole life into taking care of me,” Tyler continued, “so if you’re going to pour your heart into this dream, then it should be somewhere bright. Somewhere with space to breathe. Somewhere people will walk into and immediately feel like they’re in the right place. That’s the kind of shop you deserve.”He paused and looked at her kindly.“We’ve got some connections now. Maybe not a l

**The mansion of Malisa’s grandfather, the property sprawls across several acres, secured with high white stone walls and lush gardens. Expensive cars lined the circular driveway, and more were pulling in by the minute.Inside, a few very well-dressed individuals had already begun to arrive. The hall glowed with gold accents and rare chandeliers, each corner of the room scene of wealth, power.Every guest who stepped inside had a presence—men and women in tailored suits and glimmering dresses, people with names that could move cities.However they were surprised to see Malisa standing outside.At that moment, the air felt unusually thick as the heavy clouds gathered above the grand estate. Melissa stood quietly at the corner of the courtyard, the faint rustle of leaves accompanying her rising impatience. She held her clutch tightly against her side, her heels perfectly balanced despite the uneven stone. The event was already buzzing with whispers and camera flashes from invited gues

And just like that seeing London, Malisa's heart tightened again.Because now more people were here to witness what might become a shameful spectacle.At that moment, Marcos folded his arms and leaned back just a little, smirking as he turned to London and said, “Well, Malisa’s out here waiting for someone… one of her friends. Says the person is supposed to be coming.”London, who had been stretching his neck casually, suddenly stopped and glanced at Malisa with mild surprise. “Friend?” he repeated, arching an eyebrow with a teasing grin. “She or he?”The way he said it made a few of the other guys chuckle.And just like that, all twelve of them turned their attention to Malisa, eyes expectant, some curious, others clearly ready to gossip. The spotlight was on her now, and she could feel it—burning.At that moment Malisa’s face tightened slightly, her shoulders stiff. She hated this. She hated the pressure, the mockery that lingered behind their polite grins, and the judgment in Marcu
Chapter 69
At that moment, Malisa couldn’t help but slowly shake her head, her eyes narrowing just a little, not in frustration but in disbelief. Hearing what London just said made her chest tighten. She bit her bottom lip, her arms folded neatly across her chest as she turned her gaze back to the luxury car parked before them.However London was staring at the Phantom as if he’d just seen a ghost. His voice had that mix of awe and suspicion, the kind that made people around him listen. But Malisa knew the guest list better than anyone. She had been deeply involved in the planning. From the first phone call to the last sealed envelope, every name, every excuse for absence, every RSVP was something she had personally handled.She finally broke her silence, her voice calm but firm. “Lord Edward wasn’t invited,” she said.Immediately London turned toward her slowly. “What do you mean?”“I mean exactly that,” she replied. “He wasn’t invited. We may have a connection with the Royal House, yes, but n

At that moment, upon hearing what Marcus just said, Malisa froze in shock. She never expected Marcus to be so bold—so publicly disrespectful—especially not in front of so many people. The air grew tense around them. A few onlookers nearby were already beginning to take interest in what was happening, their murmurs growing louder by the second.Then Tyler slowly stopped in his tracks and turned to face Marcus directly. His expression was calm but sharp. There was no panic in his eyes—just a quiet confidence that only made the situation more unsettling for Marcus.With a low, steady voice, Tyler asked, “Do I have any business with you?”The words weren’t loud, but they cut deep. They hung in the air like a warning.Hearing what Tyler just said, Marcus’s face twisted with disbelief. He couldn’t believe this man, this nobody in his eyes, dared to speak to him that way. His blood boiled as he took a step closer, pointing an accusing finger at Tyler.“You just said what?” Marcus hissed. “Do
