The entire hall held its breath, waiting for Damon to snap and rip Ethan apart right then and there. People in the back even stood on their tiptoes, completely frozen in anticipation of the beatdown that was about to happen.

Instead, Damon threw his head back and broke out into a loud, booming laugh. The sound was very loud, instantly shattering the tension in the room.

Just as Damon was laughing, the front doors swung open and two tall, muscular men walked into the grand hall. They were both w

    Samantha smiled. "Oh, I can't believe it! Jackson, you are simply incredible"Jaxson smiled warmly, waving a dismissive hand as if nine-million-dollar gems and four-million-dollar face creams were everyday pocket change."Since Cynthia and I are supposed to be dating," Jaxsonsaid, his voice dripping with charm, "I want to be as much of a son to you as I possibly can. Tell me, Samantha, what kind of son doesn't love and spoil his mother?"Samantha melted completely, placing a hand on her cheek. "Oh, Jackson, you are going to make me cry! You are so thoughtful!""And the third gift..." Jaxson paused, letting out a low, confident chuckle that drew the attention of the entire room. "...is not just from me. It's from my good friends at Faerie Jewelry."Standing a few feet back, Ethan scoffed quietly to himself. Ha! Ethan and smirked. My company literally owns Faerie Jewelry.Samantha gasped again, letting out a delightful, high-pitched laugh as she leaned forward, eager to see what was com

    Ethan raised a single finger, pointing it casually in Jaxson's face. "Oh, and yeah, just to clear things up, Cynthia and I aren't breaking up. So, you and your delusional ass can walk on out of here right now."Jaxson'sface twitched with annoyance. He held up a hand, scoffing loudly as he cut Ethan off mid-sentence. "Shh! Shut up. Just shut your mouth already. I am done talking to a broke, clueless nobody like you. It's time to deal with the real person in charge here."Jaxson turned his back on Ethan entirely, ignoring him as if he didn't even exist. He flashed a wide, dazzling smile and stepped straight toward Cynthia’s mother, who was watching from a few feet away."Samantha! Honey! Darling!" Jaxson called out, his voice instantly dropping into a smooth, overly affectionate tone. "How are you doing, huh? It is always so good to see you!"Samantha’s face lit up, a soft blush spreading across her cheeks as she adjusted her hair. "Oh! Jackson! It’s lovely to see you too, Jackson! You

    Jaxson turned around, pulling his trousers back up to his waist and fastening his belt with a heavy scoff. He shook his head, looking directly at Ethan like he was done playing games."Okay, you know what? Forget about kissing my ass, big guy," Jaxsonsaid, pulling his trouser back up his waist and adjusting his cuffs. "I'm done wasting time with you. But here is the deal. I want you to take this cash right now and get the hell out of here. Leave this party and stay far away from Cynthia. Do you get that? Just take the money and disappear."Cynthia stood right next to Ethan, looking noticeably shaken and taken aback by the overwhelming pressure of the situation. Her eyes flicked from the cash scattered on the ground to Jackson, and then she turned her head to look up at Ethan.She hesitated for a minute then decided to speak."Ethan," Cynthia whispered as she leaned in close to him. "You know... that is literally twice the amount I originally agreed to pay you just to act as my fake boy

    Jaxson's mocking laugh echoed through the hall, instantly cutting through the murmuring and noise of the assembled guests. He raised a hand, pointing a finger straight at Julian, who stood a few paces away near the velvet drapery."What do you think, huh? Why do you think that idiot is all over you?" Jaxson sneered, his eyes locking onto Cynthia.Julian’s expression darkened instantly. He frowned, but he didn't say a single word. He stood his ground, forced to swallow the harsh insult in silence while the eyes of the wealthy attendees flicked briefly in his direction.Jaxson took a deliberate step closer, smoothing down the front of his custom designer suit jacket with an insufferable smirk. "That idiot from Vance Corporation is dragging himself around you for one simple reason. I’m in the middle of setting up a billion-dollar contract to invest with them. But there's a catch…it only happens if you agree to be my girlfriend. That’s it. That is the whole reason they are throwing this

    The moment Jaxson Reed stepped down the grand staircase, the entire hall erupted into pure chaos. The crowd went even crazier than when Damon had arrived, with voices screaming and shouting over one another in sheer excitement."Oh my God, that's Jaxson Reed!""Look at him! He looks so good!""Are you seeing his shoes?! Look at his clothes! He's literally the biggest influencer in the world!""I can't believe he's actually here in person!"A massive buzz swept through the room as guests pushed forward just to get a better look at him. Standing beside Ethan, Cynthia leaned in slightly, her expression grim."He might be all those things to them, but he's a complete sociopath," Cynthia muttered, her tone full of quiet annoyance. "He's a crazy person who uses his fame and influence to get whatever he wants."Her voice was almost entirely drowned out by the roaring crowd. Only Ethan and her mother heard what she said.Her mother whirled around, glaring at Cynthia with pure disgust before t

    It was as if Damon's friends had suddenly been snapped out of their frozen spell. Realizing that Damon was in serious pain and desperately needed help, two of them rushed forward. One of them shoved Ethan back by his shoulders, creating space, while then came back, grabbed Damon under his arms and hauled him up off the floor.Damon stood up with a heavy limp, his face twisted in pain. But he quickly tried to cover up the embarrassing moment, putting his weight on his good leg while trying to hide his weakness."Now that I'm back up, you better be scared, you little rat!" Damon barked, his voice loud and trembling with rage as he verbally attacked Ethan. "You better be scared, because I'm going to break every single one of your little bones! Look at you, standing there like a pathetic little orphan! I'm very sure you're shaking in your boots right now! You're standing there worried and terrified, thinking about what I'm about to do to you!"Ethan let out a dry, effortless laugh, steppi
