CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN: Rise Of Eden Wealth
The black sedan carrying Dean moved smoothly through the night streets of Alerion City. The city lights stretched endlessly ahead of them, glowing like a sea of gold and silver beneath the dark sky.Inside the car, the atmosphere was calm.Dean sat quietly in the back seat, leaning slightly against the leather seat while looking out the window. The reflections of the passing streetlights flashed across his face, but his expression remained thoughtful and composed.In the front seat, Philip sat beside the driver, casually scrolling through his phone.For several minutes, no one spoke.Then Philip suddenly let out a soft chuckle.Dean glanced at him.“What is it?”Philip turned slightly in his seat.“You’re trending.”Dean raised an eyebrow.“Trending?”Philip nodded and held up his phone.“Every media outlet in the city is talking about what happened tonight.”Dean sighed quietly.“I expected that.”Philip smirked.“‘Eden Royalty CEO humiliates former wife at engagement party.’”He scr
CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX: After the Applause
The night air outside the Grand Meridian Hotel felt colder than usual.Dean stepped out of the building without looking back. Behind him, the golden lights of the ballroom still shone brightly, but the noise of the party had faded into distant echoes.Philip walked beside him with his hands in his pockets.For a few moments, neither of them spoke.Then Philip finally let out a long breath.“Well,” he said slowly, “that was… brutal.”Dean stopped near the black sedan waiting for them at the curb.Philip leaned against the car and shook his head.“I’ve attended many humiliations in my life, Dean. But what you did there tonight…”He chuckled.“That was legendary.”Dean remained calm.He looked up at the city lights glowing across the skyline.“I didn’t do it to humiliate anyone.”Philip raised an eyebrow.“Oh really?”Dean finally glanced at him.“I did it to close a chapter.”Philip studied his friend’s face carefully.There was no anger.No bitterness.Just quiet certainty.Philip nodd
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE: The Night Of Reckoning
Chapter 73The Night of ReckoningThe evening sky over Alerion City glowed deep orange as the sun slowly sank behind the skyline. One by one, the lights of the city flickered on, turning the streets into rivers of gold.Tonight was the night.The Grand Meridian Hotel stood brighter than ever. Its towering glass walls reflected the flashing cameras outside, while luxury cars rolled through the entrance like a parade of wealth and power.Reporters filled the entrance plaza.Microphones.Cameras.Live broadcasts.Everyone wanted to witness the engagement party between the Hallfield family and the Wheeler family.For most people, it was a celebration.But for a few individuals inside the city…It was something else entirely.The Grand BallroomInside the ballroom, everything was magnificent.Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead like frozen stars.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR: Final Preparations
Dean sat upright on his bed, breathing slowly as the last fragments of the dream faded from his mind.The ballroom.The chandeliers.The whispers.Loveth standing in that emerald dress.And the entire city is watching him.He rubbed his forehead and exhaled.“So that was a dream…”For a few seconds, he simply sat there in silence. The room around him was dim, illuminated only by the soft light of the bedside lamp.The clock on the wall read 5:12 AM.Very early.But Dean knew he wouldn’t be sleeping again.He swung his legs off the bed and stood up.As he walked toward the large window, he looked out at the quiet skyline of Alerion City. The sun had not risen yet, but the city lights still glittered faintly in the distance.His expression slowly hardened.“A dream, huh…”He remembered the last moment clearly.In the dream, the engagement party had already happened.Everything had unfolded too smoothly.Too perfectly.Dean crossed his arms.“The system is warning me to move carefully.”
CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE. A Realistic Dream
The night of the engagement party finally arrived.The Grand Meridian Hotel stood glowing in the center of Alerion City like a palace of light. Its tall glass walls reflected the glittering skyline while expensive cars rolled steadily into the wide driveway.Security guards in dark suits stood at every entrance.Luxury vehicles lined the street.Media reporters gathered behind velvet ropes, their cameras flashing each time a notable guest arrived.This was not just an engagement party.It had become the most anticipated social event in the city.Inside the ballroom, everything was breathtaking.Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling like frozen stars. Long tables were decorated with white roses and silver candles. Soft classical music played quietly from a live orchestra in the corner.Every guest who entered could feel the weight of wealth and influence filling the room.The Arrival of the HallfieldsA black Rolls-Royce stopped at the front entrance.The door opened, and Matthew H
CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO: IT'S THE NIGHT BEFORE..
The city of Alerion did not sleep easily that night.Too many powerful people were preparing for the same event.What should have been a simple engagement celebration had quietly turned into something far more complicated.A gathering of rivals.A stage for pride.And possibly… a battlefield for reputations.[HALLFIELD FAMILY MANSION]The dining hall was brightly lit as members of the Hallfield family gathered around the long polished table.Matthew Hallfield sat at the head, reviewing the final guest list.His sharp eyes moved slowly across each name.Loveth sat beside him, calmly sipping tea while pretending not to care about the long discussion.But she listened carefully to every word.Matthew adjusted his glasses.“Everything must be perfect tomorrow night,” he said firmly. “This engagement will determine the future of our family.”Loveth sighed softly.“Grandfather, it’s just a party.”Matthew looked up sharply.“No,” he said. “It’s a statement.”He tapped the guest list.“Bank
