Chapter 603
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
Chapter 602
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

Sophia immediately nodded with what appeared to be genuine admiration, though internally she was calculating how to navigate this increasingly uncomfortable conversation without giving Penelope any additional opportunities to gloat or probe deeper into her personal circumstances. “Wow, it really sounds like you're actually living your life exactly the way you had always dreamed it would be,” she said with carefully modulated enthusiasm. “You're currently living the most fulfilled life imaginable, aren't you? And thank God that your husband actually loves you so much that he wants to protect you and provide for you in all these incredible ways. The level of care and attention he shows you is very, very impressive.”Sophia's words seemed to hit exactly the right note, feeding into Penelope's obvious desire for validation and recognition. Immediately, Penelope started laughing with genuine delight, a sound that carried both pleasure and a hint of superiority as she basked in what she

Knowing fully well what Penelope actually wanted from this encounter, recognizing the trap that was being laid out before her with careful precision, Sophia knew instinctively that it would be of great disadvantage to her if she actually played directly into Penelope's hands. This was how their rivalry had always functioned - subtle verbal sparring disguised as polite conversation, each woman looking for weaknesses to exploit, for opportunities to assert dominance over the other. Sophia had no intention of giving Penelope that satisfaction today.Then she cleared her throat delicately, composing herself and putting on her own mask of polite civility as she responded. “Well, I've been extremely busy with school and everything related to that - you know how demanding academic pursuits can be. And then there's the family responsibilities and all the obligations that come with that, so I haven't really been out and about in society all that much lately.” She paused, then delivered what

Immediately, hearing what Sophia just said and recognizing the serious tone in her voice that indicated this wasn't a negotiable point, Damien nodded his head eagerly, relief washing over his features as he realized she was actually going to agree to go with him. “Well, no problem at all,” he said quickly, his voice filled with genuine appreciation for her willingness to compromise. “What is your condition? I'll agree to whatever you think is necessary.”Without wasting another second, wanting to make sure her boundaries were crystal clear before they ventured out into public together, Sophia looked directly into his eyes with an expression that was both loving and stern. “Whatever happens while we're out there, make sure that you don't even show your face clearly to anyone, and more importantly, don't say anything to strangers. Like, seriously, don't say anything at all unless it's absolutely necessary.” Her voice carried the weight of genuine concern as she continued. “Keep whate

At that moment, the Brain started pacing up and down in his room, his footsteps creating a rhythmic pattern on the floor as his mind raced with possibilities and plans. His heart was beating faster than usual, and there was an energy coursing through him that he hadn't felt in a very long time. Yes, this was exactly the opportunity that he had been waiting for, perhaps without even fully realizing he'd been waiting for it until now. A perfect opportunity like this didn't come along often - a legitimate, professional reason for him to actually get closer to Serenity, to spend extended time with her, to be in her presence without it seeming suspicious or inappropriate.But it wasn't just about getting closer to her professionally, and he knew that if he was being honest with himself. This was also his chance to confess his feelings to her, to finally be open about emotions he had been keeping carefully locked away for far too long. Yes, he liked Serenity - more than liked her, if he was
