CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT: Attack
The cold night air hung heavy over the quiet street.Under the bright headlights of the surrounding vehicles, the situation had changed completely.Just moments ago, the six men who blocked the road believed they had control.Now they were the ones surrounded.Armed security personnel stood around them in a tight circle, their expressions cold and professional. The men moved with quiet discipline, their weapons lowered but ready.The leader of the six men slowly turned his head, looking around at the vehicles that had appeared from the darkness.His earlier confidence had vanished.Philip folded his arms and let out a low whistle.“Well… that escalated quickly.”Dean stood calmly beneath the streetlight, his hands in his pockets.The man finally looked back at him.“You… planned this?”Dean answered simply.“I prepare for possibilities.”Philip grinned.“That’s his polite way of saying yes.”The leader clenched his jaw.“You think this changes anything?”Dean tilted his head slightly.
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 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

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
