Chapter 92
The moment the store clerks confirmed that Dahlia’s mother no longer held an active VIP membership, their attitudes underwent an astonishing shift. Just minutes ago, they had practically tripped over themselves in eagerness to serve her, but now, the glimmer in their eyes was gone replaced by thin-lipped professionalism and cold indifference.One of them even rolled their eyes discreetly as they moved Dahlia’s shopping bags off the checkout counter without a word. Another whispered to a colleague and chuckled.Dahlia’s mother noticed the sudden chill in the air. Her chest rose and fell with rising embarrassment. But pride wouldn’t let her retreat so easily.At that moment she forced her lips into a tight, self-important smile and raised her chin. “This is all just a simple misunderstanding,” she said, voice brittle but loud. “Mr.Zachary will clear it up once I speak to him personally. That card he handed it to us himself. He must have had his reasons for this temporary mix-up.”Hearin

At that moment, Dahlia’s sister shifted uneasily beside her mother, eyes darting nervously between the towering stacks of luxury items and the store clerks who were already preparing to take the order. With a tight, forced smile, she leaned in closer and said in a hushed voice, “Mom… maybe we should return a few of these. You bought too much.”Her mother, still basking in the admiration of the staff and the glares of the couple she had humiliated earlier, turned to her with visible confusion and a touch of annoyance.“Return what?” she snapped, raising her eyebrows. “We’ve got the VIP discount, don’t we? Do you know how much I’m saving with that card? This is the best time to stock up!”“But—” Dahlia’s sister started, but her words tangled in her throat.Seeing her daughter hesitate, Dahlia’s mother frowned. “What’s with you today? You’re acting weird. Just hand me the card and let’s finish this up.”At that moment Dahlia sister knew she wouldn't be able to keep it away from her mothe

Meanwhile, just as Dahlia’s sister was fuming and stomping her way out of the restaurant, her cheeks burning with shame and resentment, her phone suddenly buzzed. She glanced down to see her mother’s name flashing on the screen. Gritting her teeth, she answered.“Where are you?” her mother’s voice snapped from the other end. “Come to the Elite Crown Shopping Mall immediately, And don’t forget to bring that VIP card! Do you hear me?”Before Dahlia’s sister could even respond or explain that the card had just been revoked in humiliating fashion, the line went dead.She stood there frozen for a moment, lips twitching, torn between rage and dread. That card was already gone. If her mother found out... but she didn’t even get the chance to say anything.Left with no other choice, she hailed a cab and headed for the mall, trying to figure out how to stall or lie her way out of it anything to delay the explosion that was sure to come.At that exact moment, inside the lavish and spacious Elit
Chapter 89
Dr. Damien and the mayor both gave short bows the moment they stepped into the Diamond Suite. Their postures were respectful, but the urgency in their eyes couldn’t be hidden.“Master. Raymond,” Damien said quickly, “our deepest apologies for interrupting your dinner. We wouldn’t have dared disturb you if it weren’t important.”However Raymond didn’t speak. He simply looked at them, his expression calm but unreadable.At that moment Dr.Damien swallowed and continued, “We happened to be dining downstairs when we heard that Chairman Zachary was entertaining a very distinguished guest—”“—And when we found out it was you,” the mayor added, his voice composed but laced with anticipation, “we couldn’t sit still.”Zachary, still standing off to the side, frowned slightly. Even he hadn’t expected these two to show up, here.Dr.Damien chuckled lightly, trying to ease the tension in the air. “I suppose the entire city’s talking about you now, Master. Raymond. After what happened at the banquet
Chapter 88
The hallway outside the Diamond Suite was wide and luxurious, lined with framed art and vases that cost more than most families made in a year.But to Clarissa, everything felt like it was pressing in on her.Her steps were stiff, her heels clicking awkwardly against the floor as she walked out, clutching her purse like it was the only thing anchoring her.Then she saw them—The very friends who had laughed with her earlier.They were seated in one of the lounge areas just outside the main dining floor, sipping from crystal glasses and chatting idly. But the moment they spotted her, their expressions shifted.Smiles curled into smirks, and then came the first blow.“Oh look, the Diamond Suite queen has returned.”Upon hearing what they just said Clarissa flinched.Another leaned forward with feigned concern. “What happened, Clarissa? Did Zachary come to escort you back to your golden throne?”The third one chimed in, voice thick with sarcasm. “We were just talking about how impressive
Chapter 87
Meanwhile, Raymond had already exited the elevator and was walking calmly through the elegant corridor that led toward the restaurant entrance. He moved with his usual unhurried steps, his face calm—yet distant. The faint sound of music and soft laughter from the other banquet rooms faded behind him.He didn’t look back.He had no interest in arguing with people whose entire world revolved around shallow status and fabricated pride.But just as he reached the ornate glass doors of the entrance.“R-Raymond!”A frantic voice called from behind.He didn’t need to turn to know who it was he could tell it was Clarissa.She came rushing down the hall, her hair now messy, makeup smudged, and both cheeks still visibly red from Zachary’s earlier slaps. The forced smile on her lips was cracked, fragile—almost pathetic.“There you are,” she said with a breathless laugh, trying to sound cheerful. “W-We were just... waiting for you!”At that moment Raymond stopped, but only to glance at her coldly
