Upon hearing what Jessica just said Landon head snapped toward her, his expression instantly darkening. “Damien? the village doctor”

“Yes,” Jessica confirmed, her tone tinged with satisfaction.

“Would you believe he somehow managed to sneak into this banquet?” She gestured vaguely around the room. “Walking around like he belongs here. It’s laughable.”

Again Landon's eyes narrowed into slits. “He’s here?”

Jessica nodded eagerly, leaning in as if sharing something deliciously scandalous. “I saw him earlier, but I assure you, he doesn’t have any real connections. I thought you’d like to know, considering how much nerve he had last time, uttering nonsense.”

At that moment Landon's expression hardened, his usual condescension giving way to genuine irritation.

“That man has no shame,” he muttered coldly. “First at the club, and now here? Pretending to know someone like Sophia…”

His voice trailed off, but Jessica could see the gears turning in his mind. Without being told she could tell

    At that moment, the thick silence in the room shattered like glass as the door creaked open with a cold and deliberate slowness. Every head in the luxurious bathhouse VIP lounge turned sharply toward the entrance, expecting a servant, maybe another guest, but certainly not him.When the door finally pushed wide open, the man who stepped in wasn’t just anyone.It was Damien.He stood tall and unmoving at the threshold, like a phantom that refused to stay buried. His black coat hung just below his knees, swaying slightly with each step as he walked in, his eyes dark, calm, unreadable—but beneath that calm was a quiet rage that made the air feel heavy.The moment Victoria laid eyes on him, her jaw dropped as her mouth trembled wordlessly. Her perfectly manicured fingers, which had earlier clutched her designer purse with elegance, now gripped it like a weapon.Immediately her cheeks turned pale before flushing red with fury.Her brother, who had moments ago boasted with such arrogance, w

    At that moment, Victoria hit the brakes hard, the tires screeching slightly as her car came to a halt right in front of the private entrance of the luxurious bathhouse. She didn’t wait for the engine to cool or the door to shut properly after she stepped out—her mind was already ten steps ahead.Immediately she stormed past the receptionist without a glance, her heels clicking furiously against the polished floor. She knew exactly where to go. Her brother had a habit of using the same VIP suite every time he came here. It was almost like his little hideout from the world, a place no one dared to disturb him. But today, Victoria didn’t care about boundaries or rules.She marched straight to the room, pushed the door open without knocking, and stepped in.The air inside was warm and scented, filled with soft steam rising from a luxurious hot tub at the center. There were a few men lounging around in towels, some sipping drinks, others casually chatting. But what caught her attention imm

    At that moment, Bernard’s face stiffened. His jaw clenched, and his brows twitched ever so slightly as he looked at his wife. But Deborah was not finished. With her arms tightly folded across her chest and her voice as sharp as glass, she stared him down like a lioness ready to pounce.“I’ve had enough,” she said, voice low and unwavering. “Enough of you making excuses. Enough of you acting like Damien is a saint when he is nothing but a manipulative liar.”Her words hung in the air like smoke from a burning house heavy, dark, and choking. Jessica opened her mouth to speak, but Deborah turned on her so fast, her voice rose like a slap.“Don’t. You. Dare.” Deborah pointed at her daughter, her eyes flashing with fire. “Don’t you say one word in his defense. I’ve watched you change, Jessica. I’ve watched you throw away everything we built your respect, your sense for that boy. What has he done to you? What poison did he feed you that you now speak like him, act like him, and fight your o

    At that moment, Victoria then turn to Deborah with a calm yet firm voice, “No problem, Mother. For the assurances you just gave me—for standing by me and understanding me—I'll make sure that no obstacle remains. I’ll take out every single one, no matter what. Anyone that dares to stand in our way is going to disappear like they never even existed. You have my word on that.”Her eyes gleamed with certainty, and with one final nod, she turned around and entered her car. Without wasting another second, the engine hummed to life, and she drove off with purpose, leaving Deborah standing by the roadside.However Deborah watched until the car was completely out of sight. Her face, once composed, tightened into a deep scowl as she turned and stormed back toward the house, fury growing with each step. As soon as she entered, her eyes scanned the scene and immediately locked onto Damien, who was quietly standing.Without hesitation, Deborah’s voice thundered through the house.“You’ve done eno

    At that moment, Victoria stormed off without saying another word, her heels stomping hard against the tiled floor as she headed toward her car. Her jaw was still clenched, her hands trembling slightly as her thoughts raced in circles. The betrayal stung more than she expected, especially from someone like Jessica, someone she had defended more times than she could count. And now? That same girl was standing up for Damien. Damien of all people. It made her sick.Inside the house, Deborah stood frozen for a second. Her lips pressed together tightly. Her eyes narrowed as she battled with the war inside her heart should she let Victoria go and cool off, or should she chase after her? She hated swallowing her pride, but this wasn’t just about pride. If Victoria walked out now and cut ties with them, especially after everything she had done to protect Jessica and the family’s image, then it would be a loss too heavy to recover from.At that moment with a sharp sigh, Deborah finally moved. “

    At that moment, upon hearing what Damien just said, Victoria’s entire expression changed. Her excitement vanished, her raised cheeks dropped, and the color drained slowly from her face. She stood stiff, staring at Damien like she was looking at a ghost—because to her, Damien was supposed to be finished. Her brother had guaranteed it. But here he was… standing in front of her, speaking with the kind of calmness that was more terrifying than anger.At that moment the silence in the compound grew thick. Jessica didn’t even know what to say. She turned to look at her mother, but Deborah’s eyes were already burning with fire.Deborah was watching Damien closely—his stance, his words, and the sharp look in his eyes. She wasn’t just angry at his presence. She was worried.Worried because Damien was not only alive, but more confident than ever, and that was dangerous.Because if Victoria took this personal attack to heart, she might report everything to her brother. And if Victoria’s brother
