“Ryan Walker!” Mr. McCarthy’s voice bellowed, drawing every eye back to him. “Don’t get carried away by one mistake. Do not fool yourself into thinking this street or this city belongs to you.” He jabbed a finger toward Ryan, his voice was filled with anger. “Mark my words, the next powerful guest that arrives… he will be ours. He will walk into Darell Wedding Hall and not even spare you a glance.”The reporters gasped at his boldness, scribbling notes furiously. Cameras turned, zooming in to capture the conversation.Mrs. McCarthy immediately stepped up beside her husband, her chin raised high, as she spoke with her sharp voice. “Yes! Do not think your luck can carry you twice. The McCarthy family is known for connections that stretch far and wide, and today is the day the world will see it.” She glanced proudly at the cameras. “The next guest, I assure you, will show the truth.”Ryan, however, did not give a thought to them. His calm demeanor only made the McCarthys’ arrogance loo

The man’s voice rang out again. It was calm, cold, and dismissive, “But.. Who are you, really?” After the McCarthys had already answered him, the answer didn't seem to really satisfy him. "I heard what you said, but who are you two?" he repeated for the third time and it became clear to everyone that he was really waiting for another answer and it wasn't just a joke.The street erupted into murmurs of shock. The arrogance that had coated the McCarthys like armor just seconds ago cracked instantly. Reporters set their cameras snapping furiously to catch every angle of their shock, while bystanders exchanged knowing looks.Mr. McCarthy blinked several times, his lips trembling as he tried to force out words that refused to come. His wife’s painted smile started washing off as she struggled to maintain composure even as the embarrassment hit her hard.“I… I beg your pardon, sir?” Mr. McCarthy stammered, though his voice was barely audible.The man repeated himself, his expression unc

The tall figure walked with confidence, his bodyguards falling into step behind him, their sharp suits and earpieces announcing they were not just hired men but highly trained professionals. The man’s stride was unhurried, it was calm as though he knew he was commanding every one’s attention in the street.Mr. McCarthy straightened his coat, his face twisting into a confident smile. He drew closer to Ryan.“Now do you see?” Mr. McCarthy huffed. “That caliber of man could never be here for you. You are a local businessman, Ryan. A noise maker in this city at best. This… this is someone from beyond here. Someone whose reach and power extends far beyond your small circle of investors and partners. He is here for us. For my daughter’s wedding. That is the level of influence we carry in this world.”Ryan shook his head slightly, his expression calm, even amused. “And what makes you so sure of that, Mr. McCarthy?”Mrs. McCarthy immediately snapped before her husband could answer. “Because

The streets were unusually busy that morning. Both sides of the road were filled with decorations.On one end, garlands of white and gold hung across Darell Wedding Hall, and on the other, the massive entrance of Farrel Hall were with banners bearing the inscription: Grand Opening of McCarthy Technologies under Ryan Walker.Ryan’s black Maybach stopped at the parking lot directly in front of Farrel Hall. The driver quickly stepped out and opened the door. Ryan emerged first, his tall figure commanding attention immediately even from the workers at Elizabeth's wedding venue.His suit fit him perfectly, behind him, Claudia stepped out with effortless grace, her silver gown flowing elegantly as she walked towards Ryan.“I love the designs… It's amazing. Wow!” Claudia said as her eyes wandered along the walls that had already been decorated for the ceremony.Ryan looked up at the towering structure of Farrel Hall. He gave a short nod of approval, his lips curving into a smile. “Not bad,

Ryan walked down the stairs, buttoning his suit. Today was the launch of McCarthy Technologies under his name, and he was ready.Claudia waited at the bottom in a silver gown, holding a purse. When Ryan saw her, he smiled, and she smiled back.“Ryan,” she breathed softly, tilting her head slightly as she admired him, “you look so dashing. This suit, it’s perfect. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you look this… commanding.”Ryan finished buttoning his suit and stepped onto the last stair, his smile deepening just a little. “And you,” he replied, “look breathtaking. If today is meant to be a statement to the world, then having you by my side makes the statement even louder.”Claudia blushed lightly, though she tried to hide it by turning her head. She clutched his arm gently as he reached her, and her eyes shone with excitement. “Ryan, today is going to be a great day. I can feel it. Everything we’ve worked for is finally happening. This launch, it will silence every critic, every person wh

Elizabeth's mother was standing in the middle of the wedding ceremony hall of her daughter. Her fingers pointed this way and that as she ordered the decorators around. Her sharp voice rang clearly, every instruction delivered with the authority of someone who knew exactly what she wanted.“No, no, no, the roses must not be placed there! Move them to the archway at the front. That is where the guests’ eyes will fall when they walk in, and it must be perfect. And you, yes, you… those golden ribbons are crooked. Straighten them immediately. Do you think this is some backyard ceremony? This is the wedding of Elizabeth McCarthy!”The decorators scurried like frightened mice, obeying her commands without question. She clasped her hands together, surveying the grandeur before her, though she still found things to improve. Just then, Elizabeth herself stepped into the hall. Her presence changed the atmosphere instantly. She was in a robe, her makeup already complete, her hair arranged in cu
