Hearing what Summer just said Raymond looked at Summer for a moment, then the faintest smile crossed his face. “You worry too much,” he said simply. Summer opened her mouth to protest, but Raymond had already turned away. “I will handle this situation,” he said, his voice calm and final. “Amicably. And I am going to make sure that none of what happened here today ever repeats itself.” Then he turned to face the room. All of them. His workers. His staff. The people who had stood outside that door listening with racing hearts. The ones who had rushed in ready to fight for him. The ones who had watched everything unfold with fear written plainly across their faces. Raymond looked at them all, and when he spoke, his voice carried something different now. Something warmer. “I am very, very sorry,” he said. “For every bit of stress that you were put through today. None of you deserved any of it.” The room was quiet, but it was a different kind of quiet now. “But I need you all t

Raymond had spent many years looking for one person, and after searching through different cities, sending people to gather information, and following every little clue that came his way, he had almost started to believe that perhaps he would never see her again.However, everything changed that morning when a letter was delivered to him, carrying the information he had been waiting so many years to receive.At first, Raymond had opened the letter without much interest, thinking it was another report about one of his businesses, but the moment his eyes fell on the first few lines, his expression changed completely.The young lady he had been searching for had finally been found, and what made the news even more painful was that she had been living in the same city as him all these years.Her name was Malisa.According to the information in the letter, Malisa was the young girl who had risked her life to save him from a terrible fire many years ago, when they were both still children.U

The moment Raymond stepped farther into the hall, several of the men who had been waiting for the marriage selection turned their attention toward him, wondering who had just arrived when almost everyone invited to the gathering was already present.At first, nobody said anything, but after looking at Raymond's simple clothes and noticing that he had arrived without any expensive gifts or people following him, a few of the men began exchanging mocking smiles.Although Raymond was the Supreme Lord, he had never been someone who enjoyed showing off his power or wealth, especially when there was no reason for him to do so. He had come to the mansion for one purpose, and that was to find Malisa, the young woman who had saved his life many years ago.Unfortunately, the men gathered inside the hall had no idea who he was, and judging from his appearance alone, some of them had already concluded that he was another poor man hoping to marry into a wealthy family."Well, well, look who decided

The moment Malisa's grandmother finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the hall changed almost immediately, as every man who had come hoping to become the family's son-in-law began preparing himself for what he believed might be the most important decision of his life.Those who had been sitting quickly got to their feet, while the others who were already standing began adjusting their clothes, straightening their jackets, and making sure they looked presentable enough to catch Malisa's attention.Some of them had spent a considerable amount of money preparing for this gathering, believing that marrying into such a wealthy family would open doors they had never been able to enter on their own, and now that the moment had finally arrived, none of them wanted to lose the opportunity.A few men even began moving closer to the front, hoping that Malisa would notice them before considering anyone else.However, Raymond remained standing where he was, showing no interest in joining the des

The moment Raymond finished speaking, Malisa remained standing in the same position, looking at him with an expression that carried both surprise and disbelief, as though she was still trying to understand whether everything she had just heard was real or simply another promise that would eventually leave her disappointed.For many years, she had been made to believe that no man would ever want to marry her because of the terrible burns she had suffered during the fire incident, and even when she had tried to convince herself that there was still hope for her future, the cruel words of her family had always found a way to destroy whatever little confidence she managed to build.Yet here was a man she had never met before, standing in front of everyone and telling her that he was willing to marry her, take care of her, and help her receive the treatment she needed without making her feel ashamed of her appearance.What made the situation even more difficult for her to understand was the
