Chapter 104
The Yale Medical Center's executive office felt more like a library than a doctor's workspace, with towering bookshelves filled with medical journals and prestigious awards lining the mahogany-paneled walls.Dr. Edmund Yale sat behind his imposing desk, his silver hair and wire-rimmed glasses giving him the distinguished appearance of a man who had spent decades saving lives and advancing medical science.Sophia paced nervously near the floor-to-ceiling windows, her designer heels clicking against the polished marble floor as she built up courage for what she was about to propose."Father, I need to tell you something extraordinary that happened recently," Sophia began, her voice carrying a mixture of excitement and uncertainty.Dr. Yale looked up from the patient files he'd been reviewing, his keen eyes studying his daughter's agitated demeanor. "What's troubling you, Sophia? You seem unusually flustered.""It's about Karvel Cross," Sophia said, settling into the leather chair across
CHAPTER 103 PART 2
Fine," Leo decided after a moment's consideration. "Take whatever men you need and teach this Sebastian Sterling some respect. But Vincent—" his voice dropped to a menacing whisper, "—don't embarrass me again. I won't tolerate another failure.""You won't regret this, Mr. Romano," Vincent promised, already mentally planning his approach. "I'll make sure Sterling understands exactly what happens when someone crosses the Romano family."An hour later, Vincent stood outside the main SuperSave Plus location with eight of Carson City's most notorious street thugs flanking him. The store's parking lot was nearly empty in the late evening, with only a few scattered customers and employees visible through the brightly lit windows.Sebastian Sterling emerged from the store's main entrance just as Vincent's group approached, his bodyguards immediately taking defensive positions around their employer. The contrast between the two groups was stark – Vincent's men looked like common street crimina
CHAPTER 103 PART 1
The charity gala's ambient chatter and clinking of champagne glasses faded into the background as Leo Romano's phone continued buzzing with increasingly frantic calls from his business associates. His jaw clenched tighter with each interruption, the evening's carefully orchestrated social networking session crumbling around him."Mr. Romano, sir," his assistant's voice crackled through the speaker during the fourth call in ten minutes. "The board members are demanding an emergency meeting about the SuperSave situation. They're saying if we don't respond immediately—""Enough!" Leo hissed into the phone, his composure finally snapping as nearby VIP guests turned to stare. "I'll handle this personally."Mariya placed a concerned hand on her husband's arm. "Leo, darling, can't this wait until tomorrow? We're supposed to be enjoying the evening.""No, it cannot wait," Leo replied tersely, standing abruptly from the VIP table. "Some lottery-winning thug thinks he can steal from me and get

Karvel Cross stood in his modest hotel room, carefully removing the last traces of his Sebastian Sterling disguise. The prosthetic pieces and makeup came away to reveal his true face, tired but satisfied with the day's work. He had just finished storing the disguise materials when his phone buzzed with an incoming call."Karvel?" Vivian's voice came through the speaker, carrying a note of excitement. "I have a favor to ask you.""What kind of favor?" Karvel asked, settling into the room's single chair."There's this charity gala tonight for the Children's Medical Foundation," Vivian explained, her tone becoming slightly embarrassed. "I need someone to escort me, and I was hoping you might be available."Karvel raised an eyebrow, though she couldn't see it. "Why me? Surely you have other options.""Well," Vivian hesitated, "to be completely honest, I need someone who looks good in a tuxedo but won't overshadow me or try to network the entire evening. You'd basically be... eye candy.""
Chapter 101
The Romano estate's private study felt heavy with tension as Leo paced back and forth behind his mahogany desk, his expensive Italian shoes clicking against the marble floor with each agitated step. The humiliation of being outbid at the charity auction still burned in his chest like acid, and his pride demanded answers."Tell me everything you found about this Sebastian Sterling," Leo commanded, his voice sharp with barely controlled rage as he faced his head of security, a grizzled ex-military man named Thompson.Thompson shifted uncomfortably, consulting his tablet before speaking. "Sir, according to our investigation, Sebastian Sterling is... well, he's essentially a lottery winner who got lucky.""A lottery winner?" Leo's eyebrows shot up in disbelief. "You're telling me some random nobody with a lucky ticket is the one causing all this chaos?""That's exactly what I'm telling you, Mr. Romano," Thompson replied, his voice steady despite Leo's intimidating glare. "Sterling hit the

The elegant fellowship dinner continued to buzz with polite conversation and the gentle clinking of crystal glasses when Vivian noticed the loud, obnoxious man from across the room making his way toward their table.Her stomach churned with disgust as Sebastian Sterling approached, his arm still draped around his scantily clad companion.I should have insisted that Karvel come with me tonight, Vivian thought regretfully. At least then I wouldn't have to deal with predators like this alone.Sebastian had been watching Vivian from across the room, fascinated by her obvious revulsion toward his Sebastian Sterling persona.Perfect opportunity to see how she treats someone she believes is beneath her, he mused, deliberately stumbling slightly as he approached to maintain his crude act."Ladies, ladies!" Sebastian called out loudly, drawing disapproving stares from nearby tables. "Room for one more at this lovely gathering of Carson City's finest?"Vivian and Sophia exchanged disgusted glan
