Hearing what Sophia just said, David froze where he was kneeling

. His lips parted as if words might come out, but nothing did. His chest rose and fell faster than normal, yet his head never lowered. He refused to break down, not to her, not in front of anyone. Still, the silence that came from him said more than anger ever could.

Cecilia, beside him, could not hold her ground the same way. Her fingers twisted into the edge of her dress, and slowly, she let her head drop. Shame had already taken over her. The heat in her face burned red, but not a sound escaped her. She could not look at Sofia, not even for a second.

Then David’s uncle, who had been watching in stiff silence, moved first. His voice cut the heavy air, low but firm. “Whatever you want, Mrs.Sophia ,” he said. “Whatever you ask, we are willing to do it. Your word is the only word that matters here. If it is punishment you want, it will be delivered. If it is rules you set, we will abide by them.”

    At that moment, upon hearing what the manager had just said with such sharp criticism and obvious displeasure about Sophia's apparent naivety regarding the severity of her situation, Penelope could not help but feel a surge of vindictive satisfaction at seeing her rival finally being confronted with the true consequences of her actions. A slow, triumphant smile spread across her features as she realized this was the perfect opportunity to position herself as the responsible party who had helped prevent an even worse situation.With calculated precision and the confidence of someone who knew exactly how to work such situations to her advantage, she moved casually but purposefully through the space between where she had been standing and where the well-dressed man was observing the proceedings. Her movements were deliberate and graceful, designed to draw attention and establish her as someone worthy of respect and consideration.Approaching the man with the practiced poise of someone ac

    The sales representative immediately fell silent, her mouth closing mid-sentence as she recognized that her manager had her own way of handling such situations and did not require or desire preliminary explanations from subordinates. The manager's eyes continued scanning the scene with professional assessment, taking in every detail with the practiced eye of someone who had dealt with countless difficult situations in luxury retail.Then, without any further preamble or polite social niceties, she went straight to the heart of the matter with the direct approach of someone who valued efficiency over ceremony. Her voice carried clearly through the now-silent store as she asked the most important question with piercing directness.“Who among them destroyed the pot?”Upon hearing what the manager had just asked with such direct authority and professional urgency, needing to identify the responsible party so that the proper procedures could be initiated immediately, the sales attendant w

    At that moment, recognizing that the confrontation had taken a dramatically different turn with Damien's specific accusation against one of Penelope's security personnel, Sophia moved closer to Damien's side. She felt a mixture of relief that someone had finally recognized the strange nature of what had happened to her, combined with concern about the potential consequences of making such a serious allegation without absolute proof.Leaning in close enough that her words would only be audible to him, she whispered urgently, “I really hope that what you just said is actually accurate and that you have some way to prove it.” Her voice carried both gratitude for his support and anxiety about the implications of his accusation.“Yes, you're absolutely right about what happened to me,” she continued in hushed tones, her words carrying the weight of someone finally able to share a disturbing experience that others might not believe. “I wasn't able to feel or control my hands properly when

    Immediately, hearing what Damien had just said with such calm conviction and apparent knowledge of something she thought was completely secret, Penelope was visibly taken aback for a brief moment. Her confident demeanor wavered slightly as surprise and something that looked remarkably like fear flickered across her features. The accusation had clearly caught her off guard in a way that none of his previous questions had managed to do.However, she quickly recovered and masked whatever genuine reaction she'd had, replacing it with an expression of outraged indignation and theatrical disbelief. Her voice rose to a pitch of scandalized fury as she launched into what appeared to be a defensive counter-attack designed to deflect his accusation through sheer force of outrage.“What the hell is wrong with this good-for-nothing boy?” she demanded loudly, gesturing wildly in Damien's direction as if his very presence was an affront to civilized society. “Do you actually think that I am the ki

    She took a deep breath, clearly gathering her courage as she continued addressing the tense situation unfolding before her. “This entire shopping complex actually operates under very strict rules and regulations that are enforced without exception, regardless of who the parties involved might be or what their social standing is.”Her voice became more steady as she stated the most important regulation clearly. “There is absolutely no fighting of any kind permitted inside this shopping complex under any circumstances. This is a firm policy that management enforces rigorously with serious consequences for violations.” She gestured toward the elegant surroundings as if to emphasize the refined nature of the environment they were in.“If parties have personal disputes that they feel must be settled physically, they are certainly free to take their disagreement outside the premises to resolve it however they see fit,” she continued, her tone becoming more confident now that she was simply

    At that moment, upon hearing what Damien had just said with such calm curiosity and seemingly innocent inquiry, Penelope's reaction was immediate and explosive. Her jaw tightened visibly as her face flushed with indignation, and then she launched into a furious tirade of insults and accusations that echoed through the elegant antique store with shocking intensity.“How dare you actually talk about my husband in that suspicious and inappropriate manner!” she shouted, her voice rising to a pitch that drew the attention of other customers in nearby sections of the upscale mall. “Who do you think you are to actually start questioning and suspecting my husband's legitimate success and achievements? What gives you the right to interrogate me about his business affairs and sources of income?”Her gestures became increasingly animated and aggressive as her anger built momentum. “Do you think my husband is some kind of fraud or criminal? Are you actually suggesting that he's somebody who eng
