At that moment The tension in the room reached a boiling point as Damien stood unflinching against the taunts and threats hurled his way.

His calm demeanor only seemed to heighten the unease that had begun to creep into the banquet hall. With one time call from Damien, the doors to the grand room burst open, and a group of bodyguards in sleek black suits filed in, their movements precise and intimidating.

Immediately the air thickened as the suited men positioned themselves strategically around the room, cutting off any potential exits.

The guests, once smug and condescending, now exchanged uneasy glances, their bravado replaced by a creeping sense of dread.

Jefferson, however, attempted to maintain his composure. Rising from his seat, he barked, “Do you think you can intimidate me with hired thugs, Damien? You’re playing a dangerous game! I’ll have the law on you for this. You won’t get away with it!”

Hearing what Jefferson just said.

Damien didn't respond immediately. Instead, he

    At that moment, upon realizing and seeing that it was Penelope who had just spoken with such mocking condescension, Sophia felt a surge of anger rising within her chest. The sight of Penelope standing there with that satisfied, superior expression made her blood boil with frustration and indignation. However, even through her anger, Sophia's practical mind recognized that Penelope's presence and taunting words were not the major problem she needed to focus on right now.The major problem, the truly serious issue that demanded her immediate attention, was actually the destroyed pot and the mounting consequences of what she had accidentally broken. That expensive, irreplaceable antique lying in fragments on the floor - that was what should be worrying her far more than Penelope's attempts to humiliate her. The financial and legal implications of destroying such a valuable piece were potentially devastating, and that reality was even more concerning and threatening than dealing with Pene

    At that moment, upon witnessing what had just transpired before her eyes, seeing thousands of dollars worth of irreplaceable historical artifacts destroyed in a matter of seconds, the sales representative's jaw immediately dropped open in complete shock. Her hand instinctively flew upward to cover her mouth, as if trying to contain the gasp of horror and disbelief that threatened to escape. She stood there utterly shocked and utterly disoriented by the catastrophic scene that had just unfolded in the pristine, carefully maintained establishment.The woman found herself frozen in position, her body refusing to move as her mind struggled to process the full magnitude of what had occurred. Years of working with priceless antiquities, years of careful handling and meticulous preservation, and now this - a scene of destruction that represented not just financial loss but the irreparable damage of pieces that had survived centuries only to be destroyed in the store, under her watch.It was

    Immediately, she began leading them through the carefully arranged displays, starting with some of the more accessible pieces before moving toward the truly rare items. As they moved through the store, she started sharing fascinating details about various unique pieces, telling them about the historical context, the craftsmanship techniques, the cultural significance, and the provenance of different artifacts that caught the light as they passed.However, despite the representative's obvious knowledge and enthusiasm, Sophia found herself somewhat distracted and wasn't particularly interested in the pieces being shown to her initially. Nothing was quite capturing her imagination or speaking to her collector's instincts in the way that truly special pieces did when she encountered them.But then, just as they were moving deeper into the store's more exclusive sections, something changed entirely. Sophia's eyes suddenly landed on a particular item that seemed to call out to her from its

    Right away, without wasting another second, the lead guard immediately nodded with professional efficiency and said to Penelope in a low, respectful tone, “We are going to do exactly what you just instructed, ma'am. Consider it handled.” His expression was serious and focused, the look of someone who had carried out similar discreet operations before and understood the importance of following orders precisely while maintaining plausible deniability.But then, without wasting another second, just as the guard was preparing to signal his team to begin their covert pursuit, Penelope suddenly held up her hand to stop them. Her eyes had been tracking Sophia and Damien's movement through the mall, and something about their direction and body language had sparked a different idea in her calculating mind.“Wait,” she said quietly but firmly. “You should just follow my lead instead. I just changed my mind about the approach we're taking.” Her voice carried the authority of someone accustomed t

    At that moment, without wasting another second on further confrontation or attempting to salvage what had clearly become an irreparable social disaster, Sophia and Damien immediately started walking away from Penelope and her entourage with purposeful, dignified strides. Their departure was calm but decisive, Sophia's head held high as she linked her arm through Damien's, presenting a united front as they moved deeper into the luxurious shopping mall corridors.Watching them retreat, seeing Sophia's confident posture and complete dismissal of her authority and social superiority, Penelope's carefully manicured fists tightened at her sides until her knuckles showed white beneath her perfectly applied makeup. Her face flushed with a mixture of rage and humiliation as she couldn't believe, absolutely could not process, that Sophia had actually just walked away from her in such an embarrassing and public manner.The audacity of it was staggering to Penelope's sense of social order and hie

    At that moment, upon hearing what Sophia just said with such sharp finality and unmistakable authority, Penelope was utterly surprised by the sudden shift in tone and energy. Her perfectly composed expression faltered for just an instant, her eyes widening slightly as she processed the fact that Sophia had actually just told her to shut up in public, in front of her bodyguards, in the middle of an upscale shopping mall where maintaining appearances was everything.The shock was clear on her face as she struggled to process this unexpected turn of events. Then, recovering slightly from her initial surprise, she asked Sophia with a mixture of indignation and disbelief coloring her voice, “What did you just say to me? Did I hear that correctly?”Immediately, without wasting another second, without backing down or softening her position in any way, Sophia repeated her words with even more force and clarity than before. Her voice carried across the marble corridor with unmistakable convict
