Everybody paused for a brief second, the idea incredibly ridiculous.

"Peter Lawson, you can't even afford a decent outfit. What makes you think you could afford a nine hundred and seventy thousand Himalaya Birkin?" Evelyn burst out laughing as the other staff joined in.

Peter smiled.

"How about... we make a deal then?" he muttered with a silly grin.

"A deal?" Evelyn puffed. "What deal could you possibly win against me? have you forgotten back in high school, you'd always lose to me?."

Peter kept quiet, choosing not to say anything stupid. He had a better idea. He would play dumb for as long as it took, then use Evelyn’s own words against her.

"If I’m able to buy this bag, you’ll get on both knees and beg for my forgiveness… for everything you’ve done to me since high school and right here." Peter said, his expression rigid.

"Are you out of your damn mind?" Mr. Harrison snapped. "You want my girlfriend to kneel down to you? Do you want me to put an end to your life right this moment?" he said in total annoyance.

Evelyn seemed quite interested in the deal. She knew Peter was all talk and no action. He simply wanted to humiliate her in front of everyone by making her think he could afford such a luxury bag. She knew him even better than he knew himself and wouldn’t fall for his bullshit.

"Babe, calm down." she cooed, soothing her lover. "I know his type. And I know exactly how to handle them."

She then turned to Peter. "So what’s in for me if you fail to buy this bag?"

"Anything you want."

"Anything I want?" she giggled, "Okay then. If you don’t buy this bag, I want you to get on your knees and lick my toes right in front of all these people." Evelyn said with a cruel glint in her eyes.

"And not only that..."

Peter Paused. "What else?"

"I want you permanently banned from ever stepping foot in this mall again."

He gave it one last thought. What if it doesn’t work as Mr. Oscar had said earlier? What if the card doesn’t actually have twenty million dollars? It would be a complete disgrace, and he would certainly be blacklisted from setting foot in the K&Q luxury mall again.

He took a deep breath and said shockingly, "I accept. But only on one condition."

Evelyn laughed along with her boyfriend. "You don’t get to add conditions when you’re the one making the offer."

"If I pay for the bag, you can’t step foot in any luxury store either. You’ll be blacklisted permanently, and not just that... you cannot shop online as well." Peter said, not giving her room to finish.

"Sounds interesting... Okay, I accept." Evelyn declared.

Maria stepped forward and tapped Peter gently, concern genuinely written all over her face.

"Sir, you don’t have to do this. Just ignore her and leave rather than humiliating yourself in front of everyone."

Peter laughed softly. "You don't need to worry about me, if there’s someone you need to be worried about, it should be her." he said.

"Are you sure you want to do this, man? You don’t have to humiliate yourself just to prove a point." Mr. Harrison added sarcastically.

"Don’t tell me you’re scared on your girlfriend’s behalf?" Peter replied, which only made them angrier.

"Very well then. Sign here." Jane stepped forward with legal paperwork and handed Peter a pen. "If you fail to purchase this bag, you will be permanently banned by the Luxury Affairs Commission from ever stepping foot in any luxury mall again. And if you fail to fulfill the rest of the deal, you will be arrested for breach of contract. I advise you to think wisely."

Peter glanced at her and smirked. He took the pen and signed boldly on the paper.

His confidence began to make Evelyn question her decision, but she had gone too far to back down now.

Jane walked over to Evelyn and handed her the same pen and paper.

"Sign here, Miss Evelyn. The same rules applies to you as well. if you breach the contract, you know what the repercussions are."

"I know, Jane. Now let’s see him try to pay for that diamond bag." Evelyn replied, shrugging off her racing heart.

She knew Peter was all talk and would prove it in front of everyone here watching.

"How do you intend to pay, Sir?" Maria asked, not giving Jane the chance to steal her spotlight like she always does.

Peter reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet and removed his black card, handing it over to Maria with ease.

The moment Maria saw it, she gasped. The Four Crown Black Card.

Although she was still a newbie, her training had covered different payment cards and how to identify elite customers. She knew exactly what this card represented.

During the same training, she had also been taught that discrimination was strictly forbidden in this business.

Some billionaires preferred to dress simply, and sales personnel were always advised to treat every customer with respect and professionalism.

But I guess the same training rules somehow didn't apply to Jane.

Maria couldn’t believe her eyes as she held the card in her hand.

This customer had just handed her the Four Crown Black Card—a card issued exclusively to members of the four most powerful families in the country: the Grahams, the Duvalls, the Johnsons, and the Callahans. Their wealth was so immense that their accounts were managed directly by the World Bank.

Anyone who possessed such a card had to be a member of one of these elite families.

"Oh my gosh, this is a Four Crown Black Card," she said, still in shock.

"A what?" Jane muttered, stepping forward as she snatched the card to inspect it herself.

"What is a crown four black Card or whatever the hell she just said?" Evelyn asked with a furrowed brow.

"The Four Crown Black Card is a rare card issued only to the four most elite families in the country," Mr. Harrison whispered audibly to his girlfriend, his voice shaking slightly as reality might slowly begin to settle in. "If he truly owns it, then I'm afraid we’re in big trouble, babe."

Peter simply smiled to himself. For the first time in his life, the feeling of helplessness he had always felt around the rich had completely reversed. He felt extremely powerful watching fear creep into Harrison's voice.

"I’m sure that shit is fake. I know for a fact it is." Evelyn snarled, trying hard to convince herself.

"I doubt it’s fake, Miss Evelyn." Jane stepped closer, "The original ones are thicker and have authorized signatures. This one has both." her voice suddenly became softer and lighter.

Peter seeing their confused state of shock simply smiled, tucking his hands back into his pockets as he radiated with pride.

"No way!" Evelyn shook her head. "There's no way someone as poor as him would possess something like that. I know his family, he stays with his poor grandmother, and his foster parents died in a car accident years ago. I’m a hundred percent certain he stole that shit. Call your manager right now!"

Jane grabbed the telephone without wasting a minute and dialed a number, she whispered something inaudible over the phone. And In less than a minute, the manager appeared.

    Peter walked back into the auction hall and settled into his seat, pretending as though he hadn’t seen anything while the memory of what he had just witnessed continued replaying in his head. “Why would Helen hand that man an envelope with the company’s logo on it?” Peter asked himself. “Does this mean she’s the spy Valentina was talking about?” he wondered after catching Helen red-handed, handing a strange man a large brown envelope that clearly belonged to the company, judging by the official logo printed on it. Just as he was still thinking about it, Helen returned to the hall, her face completely normal, as if nothing had happened at all. When she sat down, Peter kept glancing at her from the corner of his eye before asking sarcastically, “Where have you been? A phone call couldn’t have possibly taken you this long.” He asked intentionally, wanting to see what excuse she would come up with. “Oh, I, uh... went to use the restroom afterward. I was really pressed,” Helen

    "Lu... cia?" Catherine stammered, happiness surging through her at the sight of her remaining child, the very daughter she had mistreated since childhood. Catherine was in terrible shape. An utterly terrible shape. She looked old, far older than her actual age. Anyone who saw her would say she was a walking corpse. Perhaps even the dead looked better than she did. Her chest was severely emaciated, her skin pale, and her hair had been cut short. Her lips were dark, and her eyeballs appeared more prominent than they used to be. Those were some of the physical changes associated with cancer, but there had to be more to her condition than that. Judging by her appearance, something was terribly wrong. "Lucia, my child," Catherine whispered between jarggered breaths, stretching out a trembling hand toward her daughter. Lucia hesitated, contemplating whether she should even acknowledge those wrinkled hands reaching out to her. I mean, why should she? All her life, her mother had

    Thomas, Margaret, and Peter sat together at the long dining table, enjoying a variety of dishes as the chefs and maids moved around them, serving food, pouring wine, and attending to their other duties. The atmosphere was filled with immense joy on that wonderful evening. However, beneath the happiness, jealousy had also found its way into the room. "So, Peter, I heard you secured the prime estate the company had been struggling to acquire. And you did it with your own money," Thomas said, initiating a conversation as the sound of cutlery clinking against plates filled the room. Peter paused for a moment and took a sip of chilled water to clear his throat before speaking. "Well, yeah, I did, but... it's not exactly my money," he said. "It's the allowance Oscar gives me every month. So, technically, the money belongs to you." "No, no," Thomas interrupted. "It's your money," he said, looking at Peter. "You've been deprived of twenty years with us. You deserve even more. Any mo

    "What is it?" Peter asked, curious. "Is everything all right?" Lucia turned her gaze toward the window before speaking. "I'm fine, but as for my mother, I don't think she is." Peter looked bewildered. He looked confused. "What happened to your mother?" he asked. Lucia turned to face him, their eyes meeting as she began to explain. "I received a strange call from her the other day. She said she wanted me to visit her at the hospital and insisted it was urgent. I feel... I feel like something might be wrong with her," she said. "O—kay?" Peter stammered, waiting for her to say more, clearly expecting her to explain how she had responded to her mother's request. Lucia looked at him, understanding what he meant by his hesitant response. She sighed uncomfortably before speaking. "I didn't give her an answer, but I don't want to go." "What? Are you out of your mind?" Peter asked, stunned. "She's your mother, Lucia." "Was!" Lucia's voice boomed with annoyance, echoing through the em
