The luxurious hallway outside the lounge became quieter after Luca and the others left.Only the distant sound of ocean waves remained.But inside Isabella’s chest—Nothing felt calm.She stood motionless near the balcony doors, her expression cold and composed as always.Yet her thoughts remained chaotic.Meanwhile, Alessandro’s humiliation had completely transformed into resentment.His jaw tightened violently as he stared toward the direction Luca disappeared.“That bastard…” His voice dripped with hatred.“He really thinks he’s above everyone now.”Isabella finally looked at him. Her tone remained flat.“You brought most of this on yourself.”That answer immediately made his expression stiffen again.“You’re still blaming me?”“I’m stating facts.”Her indifference frustrated him more than anger would have. Because tonight—She never once truly defended him.Meanwhile, nearby guests slowly began leaving the lounge area too. Several glanced at Alessandro mockingly as they passed.One

The conference officially began moments later. Dozens of elite investors sat around the enormous glass table overlooking the ocean while assistants distributed files quietly across the room. The atmosphere became serious immediately. Meanwhile, Alessandro’s mood worsened with every passing second. Because nobody acknowledged him anymore. Not one person. Earlier, he entered the room confidently beside Isabella, expecting respect because of Tomorrow Group’s reputation. Instead—He became invisible. Worse than invisible. A joke. Meanwhile, Lorenzo calmly adjusted the documents in front of him. “The South Harbor expansion will determine the island’s future tourism market.” Several executives nodded immediately. One investor spoke respectfully. “With Galaxy participating, investor confidence has already doubled.” Another added—“The media attention alone is massive.” Lorenzo gave a small nod before turning slightly toward Luca. “Your thoughts?” Immediately, the entire room looke

That evening, the island’s grand yacht harbor glowed beneath golden lights.Luxury yachts floated across the dark ocean while music echoed softly through the sea breeze.Elite businessmen. Celebrities. Investors. Models.Every important figure attending the island summit gradually gathered near the massive private yacht reserved for Lorenzo’s event.Meanwhile, Alessandro stood near the harbor entrance with a dark expression.The whispers from earlier still echoed inside his head repeatedly.“Looks like tonight’s event will be interesting.”“Especially if Alessandro keeps humiliating himself publicly again.”His pride felt shredded beyond repair. Beside him, Isabella remained calm and elegant in a silver evening dress.Cold. Beautiful. Untouchable. But tonight, even her presence failed to comfort Alessandro anymore.Because ever since arriving on this island everything had gone wrong. Especially after Luca appeared.Meanwhile, several guests nearby noticed Isabella immediately.“Miss R

The yacht finally docked near the private island resort.Golden lights illuminated the shoreline while luxurious villas overlooked the dark ocean from the cliffs above.Music echoed softly across the beach. Employees lined up near the entrance respectfully.Every guest stepping off the yacht received VIP treatment immediately.Meanwhile, Lorenzo walked ahead calmly beside Luca. Peter followed excitedly while discussing tomorrow’s business schedule nonstop.“We’ll meet the studio executives first,” Peter said enthusiastically.“Then the investors after lunch.” Sophia nodded calmly.“The entertainment industry profits here are enormous.”Meanwhile, Kate quietly stayed near Luca again.Farther behind them, Alessandro watched the scene with growing hatred.Especially seeing Kate close to Luca repeatedly. Because earlier Kate barely acknowledged him.Now she followed Luca voluntarily. The humiliation felt unbearable. Meanwhile, Isabella stepped onto the dock silently.Her heels clicked sha

Morning sunlight poured across the island resort while waves crashed softly against the cliffs below. The luxurious atmosphere looked peaceful on the surface, but rumors from the previous night had already spread across nearly the entire resort.Everywhere people gathered they discussed Luca. The mysterious man beside Lorenzo.The man invited personally to the Black Crest auction. The man who humiliated Alessandro repeatedly without even trying.Meanwhile, inside the presidential villa dining area, Peter nearly dropped his coffee after hearing another rumor from nearby investors.“You’re kidding.”A businessman nodded seriously. “I heard the auction organizers upgraded his status personally overnight.”Kate smirked faintly while scrolling through her phone. “The island gossip network works fast.”Sophia calmly sipped tea. “Humiliation spreads even faster.”Peter burst into laughter immediately. “Poor Alessandro.”Meanwhile, Luca remained calm while reading several business reports nea
