“Seriously? That was your big move? Getting one of your broke friends from the village to pretend, huh?” Nathaniel said, voice thick with sarcasm.He let out a louder laugh. “Oh, I get it now. You told him to say he was Anthony Williams, didn’t you?” He turned to the others, eyes gleaming with self-satisfaction. “Did you all hear that? He’s claiming he was on the phone with Anthony Williams!”He scoffed, shaking his head. “Anthony Williams? The most powerful businessman in the city? And we’re supposed to believe he takes personal calls from... you?”Mrs. Greene crossed her arms, her face twisted with disdain. “Ridiculous. A grown man who can’t stop lying. That’s just foolish.”“Exactly!” Nathaniel quickly spoke up. “Anthony Williams has entire teams to handle his calls. Whole departments. And you expect us to believe he picked up your call himself? To transfer five million dollars? Just like that?”Nathaniel sneered, eyes locked on Damon. “That amount alone proves you're lying. Five m
Chapter 50
Mrs. Greene was certain Damon couldn’t afford such a sum and only wanted to use this to humiliate him.Nathaniel's eyes lit up with understanding. He could see exactly what Mrs. Greene was doing."That's brilliant," Nathaniel said with a grin. "Let's see if he can actually back up all his big talk."Mrs. Greene nodded, her confidence growing."Exactly," she said. "No more stories about knowing important people. No more claims about helping with contracts. Just action."She crossed her arms and stared at Damon."Five million dollars," she said again. "Right now. If you really love Celia, then prove it.""Mom, stop," Celia said, her voice full of embarrassment."No!" Mrs. Greene snapped. "I'm tired of listening to empty talk and made-up stories!""He's been acting like some kind of hero like he's so important and powerful," she continued. "Well, now it's time to see if any of it is true."Nathaniel was practically glowing with excitement."This is perfect," he said. "Either he admits he

Damon watched Celia carefully. He could see that she was about to fall apart completely. Her whole body was trembling, and she looked like she might collapse at any moment.He stepped forward quietly and moved to Celia's side. Without saying a word, he gently placed his hand on her shoulder."Hey," he said softly, his voice calm and gentle. "It's okay."Celia turned to look at him, her eyes red and filled with frustration."It's okay," Damon repeated, his voice warm and reassuring. "You don't need to waste your emotions on people like this."He spoke quietly, just loud enough for her to hear, but his words were filled with understanding and comfort."These people don't deserve your anger or your tears," Damon continued gently. "They're not worth getting this upset over."His words were like a cool breeze on a hot day. Slowly, Celia felt her heart rate starting to slow down. The tight feeling in her chest began to ease.Celia took a deep breath. Damon's presence beside her, his gentle
Chapter 48
Celia's face went red with anger as she listened to her parents attack Damon. She couldn't take it anymore."Stop it!" Celia shouted, her voice shaking with emotion. Everyone turned to look at her in surprise."Damon is telling the truth! You can't believe it because you don't want to believe it!" Celia said, her voice getting louder. "You've already made up your minds about him!"Nathaniel stepped forward with a smug smile. "Celia, he's obviously fooled you with his lies.""Shut up! He hasn't fooled me!" Celia snapped. "I know exactly what happened! I was there!""Then you're being naive," Mrs. Greene said coldly."I'm not naive! I'm standing by my boyfriend!"Damon, who had been watching calmly, couldn’t help the slightest smile that escaped his lips when he heard Celia call him her boyfriend. Even though it was just an act, it stirred feelings he knew he shouldn’t be feeling right now.Mrs. Greene's face twisted with anger. "Your boyfriend? That man is not worthy of being called y

Nathaniel's eyes lit up with satisfaction as he saw the doubt spreading across everyone's faces. This was his chance to expose what he believed was Damon's lie."You see?" Nathaniel said, his voice gaining confidence. "I told you something didn't add up."He stepped closer to Damon, a smug smile spreading across his face."I know Anthony Williams," Nathaniel announced. "My father's company has done business with Vespera Corporation for years."Mrs. Greene looked at him with interest. "Really?""Of course. I've met Anthony Williams at several business meetings and social events. We've had dinner together multiple times."Nathaniel's voice grew more arrogant as he continued."And I can tell you one thing for certain—I have never, not once, seen this man with Anthony Williams."He pointed directly at Damon."Never at any meeting, never at any dinner, never at any social gathering. If Damon really knew the CEO as well as he claims, I would have seen them together."Mrs. Greene nodded eage
Chapter 46
Everyone was stunned. No one could believe that someone as seemingly insignificant as Damon had actually helped Celia secure a deal with Vespera Corporation.Mrs. Greene gaped at her. “What did you just say?”“I said the contract went through,” Celia repeated. “Thanks to Damon.”Nathaniel shook his head. “That’s impossible. He couldn’t have pulled off something like that.”“But he did,” Celia replied, firm and clear.Mrs. Greene glanced between the two, her expression twisted in confusion. “How? How could he possibly help with a company like Vespera?”Mr. Greene stepped forward, voice low with disbelief. “Celia, are you sure?”“I’m certain, Dad. The contract is signed. It’s done.”Nathaniel’s face turned red, his voice rising. “That doesn’t make sense! He’s unemployed! He has no status, no network! How could someone like him possibly get involved with Vespera?”“Someone like me?” Damon asked coldly.“Yes! You have no job, no money, no background. Vespera is one of the biggest corporat
