Chapter 95
Edward Sterling walked across the crowded ballroom with long, firm steps, his face dark with barely controlled anger, and his fists clenched tightly at his sides. He reached Lucas in the dim corner and leaned in close, his voice sharp but controlled, because he could not allow anyone else in the ballroom to hear their voice. “Lucas!” Edward hissed, his eyes burning with fury as he stared at his son. “Are you out of your mind? Do you want to ruin this family completely? Do you want to destroy everything I have worked for with your foolishness?”Lucas tilted his head lazily, his arrogant smirk still on his lips as if his father’s words meant nothing. He blew out one last stream of smoke, his face filled with defiance. “Father, calm down. I’m just enjoying myself. Everyone here is too busy dancing and drinking to care about what I’m doing in this little corner. Why are you making it such a big deal?”Edward’s face tightened, and his voice grew even sharper, though he kept it low. “A big

“Okay, Simon. Let’s meet tomorrow,” Damon said before ending the call. As expected, it was about his mother’s death. Simon had found new information, but he couldn’t explain it over the phone. Tomorrow, Damon would get answers. He put the phone back in his pocket and turned toward the ballroom, but then he stopped. Through the window above, he saw Serena and Michael outside, having a furious argument, their voices cutting through the night. A smirk tugged at Damon’s lips. “Why are those idiots shouting at each other now? Did they finally realize how stupid their plan was?” he muttered with a low chuckle. Leaning closer, he whispered under his breath, almost as if speaking directly to them. “You haven’t seen anything yet. You’re still stubborn, and you’ll still try to harm me and Celia. But neither of us will flinch. You’ll only end up destroying yourselves—and when you regret it, it’ll be too late.” Damon cracked the window open slightly, just enough to catch their words. They we

Michael quickly dialed his father’s assistant, who answered almost immediately. “Mr. Thorne, I was just about to call you. There’s a problem,” the assistant said, his voice heavy with tension. Michael’s expression darkened, and Serena’s heart skipped a beat. “What? What problem? I called to tell you about the humiliation we just suffered at this event, so you could help us fix it. Now you’re saying there’s another problem?” Michael snapped, frustration clear in his voice. “Yes, Mr. Thorne. The problem is about the event itself. What happened to you tonight is spreading fast, and it’s getting out of hand,” the assistant said, fear evident in his tone.But when Michael and Serena heard that, they inhaled slowly, as if the assistant’s words no longer scared them. They believed they already had the right solution, and now they were certain they would find a way out.The assistant’s voice grew sharper. “Mr. Thorne, you don’t understand. This is serious. I think you should come back hom

Vivienne had just finished giving her speech as the guest of honor. Everyone clapped, and her smile never faltered, but inside her mind was far away from the stage.What she really wanted tonight wasn’t applause.It was an answer.She wanted to know if Damon and Celia were truly dating. Each time they smiled at each other, every glance between them—Vivienne studied it all. Yet no matter how much she thought about it, she hadn’t found a single way to test them, not one thing to force a reaction that would reveal the truth.Her eyes locked on them again. Damon leaned closer to Celia, whispering something that made her laugh softly. Vivienne’s nails dug into her palm. She needed to do something. Anything.Just as she was about to step toward their table, her assistant, Eliza, appeared in front of her with urgency written all over her face.“Ma’am, there’s something you need to take care of right now. It’s important,” Eliza said, her tone sharp.Vivienne frowned. “What? What could be so i

"Did they really just kick us out like we're nobody? All because of Damon and Celia?" Serena's voice shook with anger. "Michael, you said your father's assistant has important friends. He's the one who got us into this gala. How could they throw us out like we don't matter?"Her face burned red. "They should treat us with respect. We deserve it because of your father's assistant."They had been walking back and forth outside ever since security dragged them from the fancy ballroom. Both were so angry they could barely think straight. If Damon and Celia appeared now, they wanted nothing more than to tear them to pieces."I'm confused too," Michael said with a bitter laugh that wasn't funny at all. He was filled with rage. "They acted like my father's assistant didn't matter. Like Damon is more important than him. What a sick joke."Serena's mind raced. "Maybe they don't know your father's assistant is the one who invited us. That's why they treated us so badly."She started pacing fast

"What are you doing here?" Lucas asked, walking closer with that smug look on his face."Do we need your permission to go anywhere? We're here because we were invited," Damon said with a scoff. Lucas laughed, sliding his hands into his pockets as he stopped right in front of Damon and Celia."Yes, you need permission because I'm a Sterling. Get that through your thick skull! Stop acting cocky. Who would dare invite trash like you here?" Lucas's voice rose, though he flashed Damon a mocking smile. Deep down, rage burned in his chest."Here we go again with this stupid drama. It keeps repeating and I'm already tired of it. I have better things to do than waste time on brainless people like you," Damon said, looking bored before letting out a dry laugh."Lucas Sterling, don't you have anything better to do than cause trouble? Just go have fun instead of wasting my time," Damon added, making Lucas even angrier."Did you just call me brainless?" Lucas started to raise his voice but stopped
