Ethan put a hand on Cynthia's shoulder. "Don't worry, Cynthia. Everything is going to be fine. I promise you."Cynthia pulled away, shaking her head frantically. "How would you know?! How can you possibly say that right now, Ethan?! Look at the reality in front of us! My mother is screaming, the whole hall is staring, and the biggest brands in the world just turned their backs on me! How is anything going to be fine?!""Just trust me," Ethan said, looking directly into her eyes. "Please, Cynthia, trust me on this.""How can I trust you with something this massive?!" Cynthia cried out, her voice breaking under the weight of her panic. "What are you going to tell me next? What is your big solution? Are you going to tell me that you're the secret head of HVMX, too?""I mean... well, I…""Ethan, stop!" Cynthia snapped, holding up a hand to cut him off instantly. "It's not funny right now! I'm not joking! I'm not in the mood for any of your wild games or sarcastic comments! Look, I knew th
Chapter 33
Cynthia grabbed Ethan's arm, in panic as she looked at him. "Ethan, no! What are you doing?! Are you crazy?! You can't make a deal like that with my mother! She will hold you to it, and when you fail, she's going to force us apart!"Ethan looked down at her, putting a gentle, reassuring hand on her shoulder. He gave her a calm, confident smile. "Hey... it's okay," Ethan whispered softly to her. "I got this. Just let me do this for you."Before Cynthia could say another word, Ethan's phone vibrated in his pocket, ringing silently. He stepped away from Cynthia and her mother, walking a few feet toward a quieter corner of the hall to take the call. He slid the screen open and brought the phone up to his ear."Go ahead," Ethan said."Sir," Mr. Dawson continued smoothly, "are you still planning on revealing your true identity as the head of HVMX at Miss Cynthia's party later tonight?"Ethan paused, turning his head slightly to look back across the room. He saw Cynthia standing alone, nervo
Chapter 32
Jaxson stood holding the black envelope high above his head, a sickening, manipulative grin stretched across his face as Cynthia stared at him with irritation."If she agrees to date me like we discussed..." Jaxson began, letting his sentence hang in the air.Before he could even finish, Samantha interrupted him nodding her head frantically as she stepped toward him."Oh, of course! Of course!" Samantha giggled desperately, waving her hands in total agreement. "I understand! We understand! Definitely, Jaxson! She will do it!""Excellent," Jaxson said, his smile widening. He turned his attention directly to Cynthia, taking two slow, deliberate steps closer to her. "And Cynthia..."Cynthia’s frown deepened as she glared at him, refusing to back down.Jaxson leaned down slightly, dropping his voice into a terrifying whisper that only Cynthia and Ethan could hear clearly. "If you don't want to break up with this broke loser... I mean, that's fine. But just know this... I'm going to kill
Chapter 31
Ethan stood his ground, looking Jaxson up and down before shaking his head with a cold scoff. "Saxson, Hexion, whatever your useless name is," Ethan said to Jaxson, "your gifts are still fake, and Cynthia and I are still together."Jaxson threw his head back and laughed loudly. "Ha! Very funny, huh?!" Jaxson sneered, stepping closer to Ethan with an arrogant smirk. "You really thought that was all?! You thought those cheap, ruined displays were all my gifts for the night?! Do you honestly think I’d show all my cards early to a broke loser like you?! No, no, no! I saved the best for last, you little rat! And here it is!"Jaxson snapped his fingers. Instantly, his assistant hurried forward from the edge of the crowd, reaching into his inner suit jacket to pull out a thick black envelope stamped with a gold seal. The assistant handed it to Jaxson with a bow.The moment Samantha’s eyes caught sight of the black envelope, her jaw dropped wide open. "Holy mother of... oh my God!" Samantha s

Cynthia stared at the boxes, her mouth slightly open. She looked over at Mr. Dawson, who gave her a single, firm nod of reassurance. Still struggling to process it, she turned to Ethan, looking back and forth between him and the Managing Director with wide, disbelieving eyes."Are you... are you really serious?" Cynthia whispered, her voice trembling. "For real? All of these are actually for me?"Before Ethan or Mr. Dawson could answer, Samantha pushed her way forward, her face twisted in pure shock and rising fury."That's absurd?!" Samantha said very pissed off and confused "Why her?! Why on earth is everything going to her?!"Samantha glared at Cynthia, shaking her head with bitter disdain. "She doesn't even know how to manage luxury items! She has zero taste, no business sense, and spends her whole day playing nice with broke nobody friends! Giving thirty-four-million-dollar gems and ten-million-dollar creams to a girl who doesn't even know the first thing about real high society
Chapter 29
Jackson sat up slowly, clutching his swollen cheek. He touched his fingers to his lower lip, pulling them away to see a smear of fresh blood. His eyes burned with shock and humiliation as he looked up at the older man."Sir!" Jackson hissed, his voice trembling with anger. "You can't just go around slapping people like that! I don't care who you are or how much money your company makes, you don't have the right to put your hands on me anytime or anyhow you want!"Mr. Dawson didn't flinch. He adjusted the cuffs of his tailored suit, his eyes cold and full of disgust as he looked down at Jackson."I have every right to teach an arrogant boy some manners," Mr. Dawson said. "You stand here acting like a ruthless bully, treating people like they are beneath you, and looking down on everyone in this room simply because you think you hold all the power. You judge a man's worth without knowing a single thing about his background or who he truly is."Jackson scoffed, spitting a tiny bit of blo
