CHAPTER 67
Beside him, Britney still looked deeply confused.Honestly, no matter how much she replayed the situation in her head, it simply refused to make sense to her.She slowly turned toward Steven again and frowned deeply.“Wait,” she said carefully, her voice filled with confusion. “I still do not understand something.”Steven exhaled tiredly without looking at her.“What now?” he muttered irritably.Britney stared at him seriously before speaking again.“I thought your father was the CEO of Desktron,” she said slowly. “So how exactly was he fired?”Britney continued before he could respond.“I mean, think about it carefully,” she said. “I have never heard of a CEO being fired from his own company before.”Steven finally glanced at her briefly.“It happens,” he replied flatly.Britney blinked in disbelief.“It happens?” she repeated.“Yes,” Steven said impatiently. “Maybe you personally have never experienced something like that before, but that does not suddenly make it impossible.”Britn
CHAPTER 66
Thomas Ward walked out of the building with slow steps, his shoulders lowered in humiliation. The same man who had entered the event earlier with authority and pride now looked like someone who had aged ten years in a single night. His face was pale, his jaw was tight, and his eyes carried frustration, anger, shame, and exhaustion all at once.Steven followed closely behind him in silence.For the first time in a very long while, Steven did not know what to say to his father. His mind was still struggling to process everything that had happened inside the hall. The humiliation. The laughter. The whispers. The way Justin had destroyed their pride publicly without even raising his voice.The memory alone made Steven’s chest tighten painfully.As they approached the parking area, Thomas suddenly stopped walking and rubbed his forehead angrily like a man trying desperately to calm himself down.Steven swallowed hard before finally speaking.“Dad…” he called cautiously.Thomas did not an
CHAPTER 65
The sound echoed violently throughout the silent hall like a death sentence.Several guests jumped slightly in anticipation.Thomas stared at the ringing phone inside his pocket as though it were an explosive device. His fingers trembled uncontrollably while sweat slowly rolled down the side of his face.Steven looked completely panicked now.“Dad…” he whispered nervously.Thomas slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out the phone with visibly shaking hands.The moment he saw the caller ID, the remaining color completely vanished from his face.It was the secretary from Fletcher Group headquarters again.The same secretary and the same number.The same terrifying voice that had already shattered his pride earlier that night.The entire hall watched him silently.Nobody spoke.Nobody moved.Thomas swallowed hard before finally answering the call.“H-Hello…” he said weakly.The secretary’s cold professional voice immediately sounded through the speaker loudly enough for nearby peo
CHAPTER 64
Justin let out a quiet scoff as he watched Britney continue standing stubbornly with her arms folded across her chest. Even after everything that had happened, she still looked unwilling to accept reality. The humiliation on Steven and his father’s faces had not softened her pride in the slightest. Instead, she continued glaring at Justin with visible disgust, as she still believed he was beneath her despite the shocking events everyone had witnessed.The hall remained tense and silent.Justin slowly turned his gaze toward Britney once again. His expression remained calm and unreadable, but there was now firmness hidden beneath that calmness that made several people uncomfortable. It was the kind of silence that felt far more dangerous than shouting.“Britney,” Justin called quietly.Britney immediately rolled her eyes after hearing him mention her name again. Her face was filled with irritation and arrogance, although deep inside, nervousness had already begun creeping into her ch
CHAPTER 63
Steven immediately rushed forward and positioned himself directly in front of his father, his face filled with anger, humiliation, and disbelief. His chest rose heavily as he struggled to process the disaster unfolding before his eyes. Never in his entire life had he imagined seeing his father kneeling publicly before another person, especially before someone he had spent months mocking and insulting.“Dad, this madness has gone too far!” Steven shouted angrily.His voice echoed loudly through the silent hall, drawing everyone’s attention back toward him immediately. The guests watched carefully, eager to see what would happen next.Steven grabbed his father’s arm tightly and tried to pull him upward.“Stand up!” he said desperately. “Why are you humiliating yourself like this? Why are you allowing this poor fool to control you?”Thomas Ward immediately frowned deeply.“Steven, shut your mouth,” he snapped angrily.But Steven was too emotional to stop.“No!” he argued loudly. “Look
CHAPTER 62
For several long seconds, he could not even gather enough strength to speak properly. His mind kept replaying the instruction over and over again.Kneel before Justin.Beg for forgiveness.Or lose everything permanently.The reality of those words was too humiliating for him to accept easily.Finally, Thomas swallowed hard and spoke into the phone again.“H-How can you possibly ask me to do something like that?” he asked shakily.The entire hall listened carefully.Thomas’s voice slowly became louder as desperation overtook him.“Do you even understand who I am?” he continued anxiously. “I am Thomas Ward. I have represented Desktron Technologies publicly for years. I have attended international conferences, business summits, executive meetings.”His voice cracked slightly as embarrassment mixed with panic.“And now you are asking me to kneel before a boy?” he asked in disbelief. “Not just any boy, but a wretched nobody? Someone wearing cheap clothes? Someone beneath my shoes?”The ha
