As Damien descended the stairs, his footsteps were unnervingly calm, almost silent against the creaking wood. The air below was heavy, thick with tension and lingering fear. Jessica clutched Deborah’s arm so tightly her knuckles had turned pale, while Uncle Bernard stood rigid, his face drained of color, eyes darting nervously toward every corner of the room as if expecting someone, or something to lunge out at them.

The moment Damien’s figure emerged, all three froze. Their gazes instinctively swept past him, scanning the room as though expecting another presence to follow. The absence of Victoria’s uncle, the man who moments ago was suffocating them with his killing intent was more terrifying than his presence.

Jessica’s lips trembled as she blurted, “Where… where is he? Where is that man? Where is Victoria’s uncle?”

Deborah’s voice followed almost immediately, shaky and sharp, her fear laced with disbelief. “Tell us he’s gone… please tell me he’s gone.”

Damien’s expression remained

    At that precise moment, before anybody in the room could literally say another word or make another move, the heavy wooden door to the VIP room slowly began to push open with a soft creaking sound.All eyes immediately turned toward the direction of the entrance, the tension in the room becoming so thick it could be cut with a knife.That was when they saw that the person who had just entered was none other than Sophia herself, looking composed and elegant despite the circumstances.And walking beside her, like a formation of queens entering a royal court, were actually four stunningly beautiful and obviously powerful ladies whose very presence seemed to command immediate respect and attention.The moment Sophia's grandfather caught sight of his granddaughter, his face transformed completely with overwhelming relief and vindication.He immediately threw his hands wide in a gesture of triumphant celebration, his voice rising with joy and satisfaction.“Yes! She is here! She actually ca

    Mr. Timothy, who had genuinely been trying his absolute best to plead on behalf of his longtime friend and save him from his own foolish mistakes, just shook his head slowly from side to side.His expression showed nothing but pure disappointment and wounded feelings.“Am I literally the one who told you to open your mouth and say all those outrageous things that you claimed tonight?” Timothy asked, his voice quiet but heavy with hurt. “Did I force you to boast about how your granddaughter is supposedly a close personal friend to the crown heiress of the West Gate?”Timothy's voice grew stronger with righteous defense. “Like, you sat here and claimed she's intimately connected to the heiress of that legendary family - am I the one who literally put those specific words in your mouth?”He spread his hands in a gesture of innocence. "Did I tell you exactly what to say and how to embellish your stories? No, I absolutely didn't tell you what words to use or what claims to make!"His exp

    Immediately, that was when Sophia's grandfather started laughing even harder than before, his voice rising to fill every corner of the lavish VIP room with his overwhelming confidence.“Well, it seems like all of you had literally underestimated me from the very first moment I made my claims!” he declared, his chest puffing out with renewed pride.His eyes sparkled with vindictive satisfaction. “But now that reality is about to slap you all in the face, it's definitely not going to happen again!”He slammed his palm on the table for emphasis. “Because I've literally told you nothing but the absolute truth from the beginning, and you all chose not to believe me!”His voice took on a self-deprecating tone mixed with triumph. “Yes, I admit I was foolish enough to literally place a bet of that enormous magnitude without thinking it through properly.”He waved his hand dismissively at his gathered friends. “But now that everything is about to be revealed and proven, I'm going to litera

    At that moment, Sophia shook her head stubbornly, still not convinced by Rebecca's reasoning.“Well, it's not exactly like that at all,” she protested, trying to maintain her firm stance.However, as she looked carefully at the determined expressions on all four ladies' faces, Sophia could clearly tell that they were completely serious about helping her grandfather.Their faces showed genuine resolve and compassion that couldn't be argued with or dismissed easily.After a long moment of internal struggle, she finally nodded her head in reluctant acceptance.“Well, since all of you have already agreed to this plan, I'm not going to be the only one to say no and cause problems,” she said with obvious resignation.Then she brought the phone back to her ear and spoke to her anxiously waiting grandfather.“Well, my friends just told me that they've decided they're going to come and help you out of this situation,” she said, though her tone remained somewhat cold.Her voice took on a warnin

    However, despite the crushing weight of this revelation and the emotional turmoil raging inside her chest, Sophia knew that rules were rules.She had already made a solemn promise to Damian about keeping their relationship and her connections private, and she absolutely wasn't going to break that sacred trust for anyone.Not even for her own grandfather, and certainly not for something as foolish as this situation that he had created entirely through his own poor judgment.Her voice became ice-cold and final, cutting through his desperate pleas like a blade through silk.“I don't care if you literally used our mansion, our car, or even your own life as collateral for this stupid bet,” she said, each word delivered with devastating finality.“It's not my business what happens to any of it, and it's certainly not my responsibility to fix your mistakes.”Sophia's voice dropped to a whisper that somehow carried more power than any shout. “They are not coming.”“And now, on the very first

    At that moment, her grandfather's tone shifted to one of deep regret. “So with the little bit that I actually heard from your conversation, I just foolishly decided to use it to brag a little.”He sounded almost childish in his admission. “I wanted to use those scraps of information to boast in front of my old friends and make myself look more important and connected.”His voice cracked with the weight of his mistake. “But I never in my wildest dreams knew that it was going to bite me back just like this, so viciously and so quickly.”The desperation returned full force. “Because now all of my friends are calling me a complete fraud and a pathetic liar!”“They're saying that what I'm talking about isn't real, that I'm just making up stories and lying through my teeth to impress them.”He continued with mounting distress. “So in the heat of the moment, we ended up placing a bet on whether or not I was telling the truth.”“And I was so excited and confident that I started to literall
