At that moment, upon hearing what the lady just said, Evelyn blinked, as if she was slightly confused but only on the outside. Deep down, she had already grasped the situation with impressive speed. ‘Ah,’ she thought, ‘so they think I’m the owner of this place.’ Her eyes shifted briefly to her father, who also wore a puzzled expression, and then to her mother who gently adjusted her handbag without saying a word.

From the ladies’ tone, from their posture, from the way they carried themselves with pride and entitlement it was obvious. These weren’t ordinary women. They were influential. Most likely senior figures in Z Street’s women’s association, the type that could make or break local businesses with a few words whispered in the right ears.

Evelyn quickly assessed the unfolding drama. She realized they had misunderstood completely, and instead of asking who the real owner was, they had jumped to conclusions and chosen to publicly attack them. But what made her smirk inwardly was not

    At that moment, with fear and pure disbelief plastered all over Evelyn's mother’s face, her voice trembled as she grabbed onto Evelyn’s father’s sleeve tightly, as if holding him would steady her heart.“Wait… wait, you mean to tell me that’s the great Commander William?” she said, her voice barely above a whisper but soaked in intensity. “The Commander William whose name is etched into the pages of our national history? The same man who crushed a battalion of over a thousand men with his bare hands? The man who stormed an entire enemy stronghold and returned without a scratch, not even a torn sleeve?”At that moment her voice cracked, her words heavy with awe and confusion as she continued, “The man who...who ended the Northern conflict without a single reinforcement? Who won the war before the enemy even knew it started? That same man, that same legendary figure… is walking into Tyler’s mother’s shop?”She looked like someone who had just seen a ghost, or rather, a god walking among

    At that moment, without wasting any more time, the more than fifteen, twenty cars perhaps even thirty in total rolled to a dramatic stop right in front of Tyler’s mother’s establishment. The screeching of tires was enough to silence even the softest whispers in the crowd. People who were already standing around, curious about Princess Sophia’s unexpected arrival, now found their jaws dropping even further. This wasn’t just one or two important people showing up.Without being told they could tell this looked like an organized arrival no, a motorcade one that screamed wealth, power, and authority all at once.The cars weren’t ordinary either. Each one looked custom-made, glossy black and armored, with tinted windows that hid whoever was inside. The emblems on the hood alone were enough to make some of the onlookers gasp quietly. These weren’t your everyday vehicles they were owned by people who mattered in the highest corners of society.Then, without a moment’s hesitation, the doors

    At that moment, Evelyn’s mother slowly turned to her daughter with a strange, confused expression, her brows tightly furrowed and her lips parted just slightly in disbelief. Her voice trembled as she said,“This is not a dream, Evelyn. That was princess Sophia. She really just walked into Tyler's mother’s establishment.”Even as she spoke the words, she found it hard to believe herself. Her gaze remained locked on the entrance where Princess Sophia had just entered a few moments ago, and she shook her head as if trying to make sense of it all.“But… how? How is this even possible?” she muttered under her breath. “They don’t even know each other at least they shouldn’t. What is going on?”The entire situation was like a riddle wrapped in chaos.“Ever since Tyler came back,” she continued, her voice slightly louder now and more directed to herself as much as to Evelyn, “nothing makes sense anymore. He’s no longer the weak boy we knew. Just look at the way he destroyed Lucas the other d

    At that moment, upon hearing what the lady just said, Evelyn’s father calmly took a step forward. The humiliation he had just suffered moments ago was still fresh, burning deep inside his chest, but he wasn’t going to show it not now, not in front of these arrogant ladies. He needed to salvage the little pride he had left, and this was his chance.With a composed voice and a forced, dignified smile, he said, “Let’s be very clear, ladies. At no point did I or anyone here ever claim ownership of this establishment. It was you who made that assumption and approached us with your questions and accusations.”He glanced at Evelyn and her mother for a second, then turned his attention back to the women across the road. “If you're going to accuse people, at least get your facts straight. Now, among all of you here, can even one of you step forward and say I said those exact words that I am the owner?”His voice was firm, his tone challenging. For a moment, a heavy silence filled the air. The

    At that moment, the tension thickened around the entrance like a thick cloud. Evelyn’s mother, unable to take the shame building up around them, snapped in fury. Her voice cracked through the air like thunder, “What the hell is this all about? Do you even know who we are?”Without wasting anymore time she marched a few steps forward, pointing aggressively at the guards, her face flushed red with indignation. “Do you think just because someone gave you peanuts to stand here and bark orders like wild dogs, that gives you the right to embarrass respectable people like us?” Her tone was piercing. “You don’t even know your limits. Trying to look down on us as if we are commoners. You’ve just crossed the line, and you’re not going to get away with this!”Again the few people outside began whispering among themselves. The spectacle was growing louder. But the security guards didn’t even flinch. Their leader, a tall, stern-looking man with a square jaw and a steely gaze, simply tilted his he
