If it was what he suspected, then they were all in far more trouble than they had prepared for.

Then, as if unable to restrain the pressure building in the room, Derek let out a slow chuckle. Not one of amusement, but of mockery. He leaned forward slightly, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear but laced with sarcasm.

“Well,” he said, smirking, “since General Marcus claims not to know what grave sin he has committed… perhaps the Supreme King should do us all a favor and enlighten him.”

His words cut through the tension like a sharpened blade.

“Because from the look of things,” Derek added, “it seems General Marcos is extremely confused about this whole thing.”

At that moment, Derek turned slowly to face the room, his jaw clenched, eyes scanning each and every person present with cold expectation. He had spoken clearly. He had made a bold statement, challenging the silence that hung heavily in the grand hall, expecting at least one nod of agreement—one show of solidarity. But inst

    She then continued speaking with more urgency in her voice. “It is very very important that I go there because Damien had already spoken to us and we are on a special mission.”Rebecca's expression became more serious. “But we cannot say anything concerning the mission right now. It's confidential and sensitive.”She looked at her watch again, her face showing worry.“Time is running out. Every little moment we spend here is going to literally result in us being late.”Rebecca shook her head. “And we don't want anybody at the gathering to raise an eyebrow or start asking questions about why we're not there on time.”She touched Sophia's arm gently. “So Stella and I will have to leave right now.”At that moment, hearing what Rebecca said, Sophia nodded her head quickly. “No problem, I understand. You have to go.”But before she could say another word, worry filled her face completely. She was very much concerned about what would happen next.If Rebecca and Stella literally left thi

    At that moment, upon hearing what one of the guests just said, Mr. Timothy's mind started working quickly. He looked at the suggestion closely, analyzing every angle of it.Deep down he knew fully well that the other guests who were here tonight weren't literally buying into his original plan completely. Some of them were just watching to see what would happen. Others were starting to have doubts.He was the one who had been literally pushing everything from behind, manipulating the situation to get what he wanted. And yes, this new idea was actually a very good way out for everyone.Because looking at these guests standing in front of him, these young ladies who looked so delicate and harmless, there was absolutely no way that any of them would be able to defeat his strong bodyguards.These weren't just ordinary bodyguards that he hired from the street. No, they were also the best of the best when it came to their respective agencies. He had paid top money for them. They were trained

    Immediately Mr. Timothy said, “I don't literally need to know anything. I know when something is fake, when something is real. And I'm very very sure that everything here is fake, all fake.”He waved his hand dismissively at Rebecca and the other ladies. “And my friend here is literally the one orchestrating all of this cheap drama. Bringing some girls here and expecting us to fall for it.”At that moment Rebecca stepped forward, her face expressionless. “Well, it seems we don't literally have any problem here then, since nobody will be able to tell what is real, what is fake.”Her voice was calm and steady.“So we'll be taking our leave now.”Rebecca's eyes swept across the room, looking at each man one by one. “And I dare any one of you to literally stop us from leaving.”There was something in her tone, something in the way she carried herself that made a few of the men look away. But Mr. Timothy just laughed.Immediately Rebecca, Stella, Sophia, Rebecca and the other lady, along

    At that moment the rest of the guests started laughing as they joined Mr. Timothy in the laughter. Now just look at this little brat trying to literally play them for a fool. Does he think they are fools or what? Does he think maybe they can't think? Just imagine. One of the men slapped the table while laughing. “This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my entire life! You brought some random girls and you want us to believe they are from the West Gate family?”Another man shook his head. “I have seen many tricks in my life but this one is just too cheap. Too cheap!”“Look at them standing there like lost puppies. If they were really from that family, they would have put us in our place by now. But they are just standing there quiet because they know they are fake!”The laughter grew louder and louder. Some of the men were hitting the table, some were holding their stomachs from laughing too hard. The whole room was filled with their mocking voices.At that moment all

    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
