Shangri-La Restaurant…

A sleek cab pulled to a graceful stop before the towering restaurant.

Robin stepped out and strolled toward the entrance.

Parked out front were cars worth anywhere from ten to twenty million, possibly more—clear proof that only the elite dined here.

He knew that Shangri-La wasn’t just any place—it was one of the best dining spots in all of Westridge.

Now, seeing it in person, he was sure the praise wasn’t exaggerated.

A broad-shouldered man in uniform stood to the side—clearly the doorman.

Robin offered him a polite smile and continued forward.

“Hold it right there!” the doorman suddenly barked, storming over to block Robin’s path. His eyes swept over Robin’s attire, and his expression twisted with open disgust.

"And where do you think you’re going, you loser?” he spat contemptuously. "Get lost! This isn't a place for beggars!"

Robin's brows furrowed slightly as he lifted his gaze to the doorman. Why was everyone such snobbish fools? He was just a do

    The punch came out of nowhere. Before Asher could react, it was already too late.BAM!Sebastian’s fist connected hard with his jaw, snapping his head to the side. The blow sent him stumbling back, blood seeping from the corner of his lips.What the hell?A collective gasp echoed through the room. Up until now, it had just been an exchange of words—why had Sebastian suddenly resorted to violence? What a hotheaded fool!Disapproving frowns swept across the faces present. Unbeknownst to Sebastian, that single action had completely ruined whatever chance he might’ve had at redeeming himself. If any member of the family had been willing to overlook his wrongdoing, that willingness vanished now. A disappointment was one thing. But a reckless brute? A mad dog? No one wanted a loose cannon for a future Patriarch!“Asher!” George’s voice rang out in panic as he rushed to his son’s side. His face was pale with worry, his hands trembling as he cupped Asher’s cheeks and examined the damage.“A

    "Uncle, your fake self-righteousness makes my skin crawl. Let’s not act like you actually care about the family or that any of this is about helping anyone. You’ve never liked me—you’ve always hated the fact that I’m the heir and not your son! This is nothing more than your bitter jealousy talking!" A cold, biting voice sliced through the room just as George ended his speech.Everyone turned toward the door.Standing there was Sebastian, his expression dark, eyes sharp with fury.Unbeknownst to them, he had arrived moments earlier and had quietly stood outside, listening to everything.He strode into the room and fixed George with an icy glare, his disdain barely concealed. “How dare you compare yourself to me?” he snapped, voice laced with contempt. “Saying I followed in your footsteps? Don’t make me laugh. I’ve made one mistake—just one. In my entire life, this is the only one. But you? You were a walking failure. A complete disgrace. "You messed up again and again, let Grandpa dow

    At the Aldridges' villa...In the conference room...Everywhere was in chaos. The entire Aldridge clan—both immediate and extended members—had gathered, but the room felt more like a noisy marketplace than a formal family meeting.The recent viral footage had dragged the family's name through the mud, becoming a source of deep humiliation. On top of that, losing their partnership with Shangri-La and all affiliated investments had just pushed the family down. There were no longer five families in the Tremendous Five, but four!They had lost their status. Now, they were second to the new Tremendous Four.And this was even the only outcome because they’d kept their losses under wraps. If word got out, rival families—especially those they’d wronged in the past—might seize the chance to strike. They might not be completely destroyed, but another clash could easily erase them from the elite social circle altogether.The Aldridges were in devastation.“I knew that boy would ruin everything s

    "Boss," a guard suddenly approached Jimmy and leaned in, whispering something into his ear. Jimmy’s gaze snapped toward the entrance at once. “Keep going. I’ll be back,” he briskly said to the figures before dashing out of the lobby. “Make way! Move aside!” he barked at the crowd as he approached. Though bewildered, the spectators instinctively parted, clearing a path for him. Jimmy charged through without slowing, disappearing past them. The onlookers—inside and outside—exchanged puzzled glances. What had just happened? Why was Jimmy in such a hurry? What could be going on at the entrance? For a moment, Sebastian and the others were completely forgotten. The focus had shifted entirely. Phones, once pointed at the humiliated trio, were now trained on Jimmy’s back as he ran. Viewers watching the livestreams online were swept into the confusion too. In moments, a ripple of uncertainty spread through social media—questions pouring in from every direction. What had t

    “Haha! Mr. Dale is too savage!” Laughter erupted across the livestreams. In seconds, the comment sections were overflowing with laughing emojis and mocking remarks. A few viewers even began creating memes—one showing Sebastian barking like a dog at Jimmy, and another of Jimmy silencing him with a flick of the wrist. Seeing these, even the streamers and some of the guests inside and the spectators gathered outside couldn’t help but burst into laughter.Watching them mock him so openly, Sebastian’s rage boiled over. His face turned red with fury and humiliation. But before he could lash out, the three figures seized him and began dragging him toward the fountain. “No! Let me go! Let go!” he shouted, thrashing with all his strength.But it was pointless.He was no match for the sheer force of the three men. Soon enough, he was shoved before the disgusting fountain.Two held him still, one forced his jaw open, and the last figure—the one holding the nozzle—moved it away from Sarah’s f

    "Ugh!" "Eww!" Sounds of disgust echoed throughout the lobby as guests turned their faces away, horrified. "Blegh!" Some couldn’t stomach the sight, retching on the spot and vomiting onto the polished floor, their faces going pale. But not everyone was repulsed. Several others whipped out their phones, instantly recording. A few were already live-streaming. To them, this chaos was entertainment—something worth sharing with friends, family and viewers across the county and if possible the world. One guest even pulled out a tripod and mic setup with practiced ease, as if he'd known something like this was going to happen. Jimmy noticed it all but made no effort to stop them. If anything, a satisfied smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. The more people witnessed this disgrace, the better. "Hey there, my lovely audience and ride-or-die fans around the globe!" a lively voice rang out. It was a young man in a flashy shirt holding his phone high. "It’s your favorite streamer,
