Marylin looked at Harvey with a furrowed brow. "Huh?" her voice was low, almost a whisper. She did not expect Harvey to utter such words in front of the gathered family. The air in the room seemed to tighten; the small conversations that had been overheard were now gone, replaced by a piercing silence.

Rudy let out a short breath, trying to laugh at the situation, but his lips tightened instead. He grinned awkwardly, his eyes glancing at the people who began to notice him. His index finger was raised, but he immediately lowered it again, as if his own body refused to challenge Harvey.

"Tu-wait... what do you mean by saying something like that?" his voice trembled faintly. "I was the one who got here first. And you-you just came. Why talk like you own this place?"

Harvey stood tall in the center of the room, his shoulders slightly raised, showing a naturally confident demeanor. His gaze swept them slowly from head to toe - sharp, as if judging without speaking.

    Irish's heart was pounding. Her breathing felt heavy, as if the air around him was refusing to enter her lungs. This was the first time shehad seen a megastar from such a close distance. And not just any star—this woman was Vanessa Reid, someone shehad only seen on screen and in fashion magazines.Her eyes widened, unable to look away from her perfect face."No... Miss Vanessa... is it really you?" her voice trembled, half in awe and half in disbelief.Her feet moved forward slowly. Hesitant, but the urge to admire her kept him coming closer. With every step she took, the image became clearer.Vanessa looked stunning even without heavy makeup—her skin was soft and glowing under the store lights, with natural makeup that actually accentuated her charm. As a fellow woman, Irish couldn't help but be captivated.Vanessa raised her eyebrows slightly, noticing the rapid change in Irish's expression. A moment ago, the woman had been flushed with anger, but now that flush had softened, replac

    Irish held her breath, her hand pressed against her now reddened cheek. Her eyes burned with anger, like embers doused with oil. Her eyebrows furrowed sharply, her jaw tightened.Meanwhile, Crysta stood upright in front of him. Her face was also red—a mixture of nervousness, fear, and anger.The sound of Irish's high heels echoed loudly as she approached. Each step felt like a threat. She stopped right in front of Crysta, staring at her intently from a very close distance.“You dared to slap me, huh?” Her voice was low but piercing. “You country girl. You don't even know who you just hit. You're asking for big trouble!”Irish's hand rose high, her fingers tense, ready to return the previous slap. But before she could move any further—smack!—a second slap landed on her cheek with an even louder sound.Irish's body trembled with emotion. Her face was bright red, her eyes wide with anger. Her jaw trembled, her breath coming in gasps like a wild animal ready to pounce.“How dare you!” she

    "Ummmh... do I look bad?"Crysta held the hem of her dress, her fingers tugging at the fabric as if looking for small flaws. Her lips pursed slightly, her gaze shifting to the woman in front of her. Vanessa stood gracefully—every movement of her body looked perfect, from the way she straightened her back to the way her hair fell softly on her shoulders. And for Crysta, who was new to the outside world, the difference felt so vast.Vanessa's hands gently cupped Crysta's cheeks, forcing her to look directly into her eyes. Vanessa's gaze was warm, yet firm—as if she wanted to convey confidence through her touch."You are very sweet and innocent, Crysta. You have extraordinary charm. Don't belittle yourself."Crysta was silent for a moment. The light in her eyes flickered, as if she was weighing those words. Slowly, the corners of her lips lifted, forming a small, hesitant smile. She nodded twice, slowly but sincerely.Vanessa removed her hands from Crysta's cheeks and sighed softly. Her

    "Wow... I didn't know Duskvale was this much fun!"Crysta laughed freely, her voice drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the shopping center. She spun around in the crowd, her skirt swaying lightly with her movements. Her eyes sparkled every time she saw something new—colorful lights, the smell of food, and the sound of people chatting warmly around her.Occasionally, she would half-run towards a shop window just because she saw a cute doll or a shiny dress behind the glass. Vanessa, who was walking behind her, could only smile, letting the girl enjoy her own world.For Crysta, this was the first time she had truly seen the outside world—not from behind walls, not in fear. After years of living in torment and pressure, this freedom felt like a dream that had finally come true.For the first time, Crysta's laughter was no longer to cover up the pain... but because she was truly happy.Vanessa, wearing a mask and sunglasses, only smiled slightly. From behind the lenses, her eyes watc

    It had been two weeks since Crysta recovered from her illness. The girl was back to her old self—cheerful, energetic, and never short of ideas for fun. Almost every morning, she would knock on Harvey's office door carrying two cups of hot chocolate."Going to the park again, Harvey?" she said with sparkling eyes.However, her request often ended with a slight smile from the man. On the table, a pile of documents awaited his signature. Security reports, construction reports, and even a list of names to keep an eye on.Lately, Harvey's work as mayor of Duskvale had really piled up. He not only took care of the city, but also maintained its balance. Every night, he still led secret patrols with his men—making sure no spies from other countries had infiltrated. Duskvale did seem peaceful on the surface. But that tranquility was fragile. As long as Harvey was there, there would always be those who wanted to test the city's security.Due to Harvey's busy schedule, Crysta spent more time wi

    At Harvey's residence, Harvey had just received news that Crysta had recovered. Previously, Crysta still did not quite remember who Harvey really was. Even when she was transferred from NorthVale to DuskVale, Crysta refused to speak to Harvey anymore.But this time, Allison informed him that Crysta wanted to see Harvey. She also said that Crysta could now remember everything clearly.Harvey stood in front of Crysta's door. There was a moment of silence, broken only by the ticking of the clock on the wall. He took a deep breath before finally turning the doorknob.As soon as the door opened, Crysta, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, immediately turned her head. Her eyes widened, and in an instant, she ran towards him."Brother!" she cried, her voice trembling between sobs and laughter. She immediately hugged Harvey with all her might. "I remember everything! I remember everything!"Harvey was silent for a moment, feeling his little sister's small body tremble in his arms. Then, g
