Chapter 171: The executives room
Margaret took a small, shaky breath, her heart already fluttering with unease.Then hesitated for half a second before stepping fully into the room.It was quiet inside. Too quiet. Like every sound that existed there had permission to exist. The door clicked shut behind her. That sound alone made something in her chest tighten. She didn’t turn back to look at it. She didn’t want to. Instead, her eyes moved forward.The room was large. Not overly decorated, but expensive in a quiet way. Three men sat there at the far end of the room.All older.All watching her with the unblinking intensity of wolves sizing up a lamb.Margaret felt it immediately.Their eyes devouring her, stripping her bare. A chill raced down her spine, but she swallowed it down and told herself she was overthinking it. These were executives. Important people. Of course, they would carry themselves like this. Of course, the room would feel… different. Still, her steps slowed slightly as she approached. The ma
Chapter 170: Something is wrong
“Miss Grace,” one of them repeated politely. “We’ll need you to come with us.”Margaret blinked, then nodded slowly. “Oh… okay.”She stood up, adjusting her bag, but before she could fully settle it on her shoulder, one of the men stepped forward and took it from her.“We’ll handle that,” he said.She hesitated for just a second, then let him take it.Her mind was still catching up, still trying to make sense of things as she followed them.Still hoping. Maybe this was connected to Johnny. Maybe this was him. Maybe he sent them. Maybe—But as they turned and began walking, she noticed where they were heading.Back inside. Back into the studio.Margret slowed her steps slightly, while her eyes searching their faces quickly, but something felt off. Not wrong, just… unfamiliar.“…Wait,” she said, her voice uncertain. “Where are we going?”“The executives of Pantheon Valley Got Talent would like to have a word with you,” one of them replied without hesitation.The words settled in slowly
Chapter 169: He is gone
Margaret stood there for a while after the Commissioner left.She didn’t move immediately. Didn’t speak. Didn’t even realize how long she had been staring at the door he walked out of.The card was still in her hand. It felt heavier now. Not because of what it was, but because of what it meant.She slowly exhaled and looked down at it again. A name. A number. Clean. Simple. Official.But nothing about what just happened felt simple.Her fingers tightened slightly around it before she slipped it into her bag without thinking too much.Then she looked up.The room felt emptier now. The officers were gone. The pressure had lifted. But somehow, the silence that replaced it felt worse.Her thoughts started moving again. Slow at first, then faster. The way they spoke about Johnny…The way they looked at her when she said he was just her manager…The way the Commissioner warned her.Margaret frowned slightly. It didn’t add up. If Johnny was really as dangerous as they made him sound… then wh
Chapter 168: The interrogation 2
Margaret kept looking around, her mind still couldn’t process how Johnny had suddenly vanished into thin air. She looked around for any where he could be hiding, and didn’t even realize how much her hands were shaking until one of the officers pointed it out.“Ma’am… are you alright?”She blinked, looking down at her fingers like they belonged to someone else. “I’m fine,” she said quickly, even though her voice came out thinner than she wanted. The officersdidn’t look convinced, but they moved on anyway. “Let’s start simple,” the officer said, flipping open a small notebook. His tone was calm, but there was something sharp underneath it. Another officer leaned forward slightly. “How long have you known Johnny Steele?” “I—” she started, then stopped. “For quite a short while”That was the answer, right? That was what made sense. That was what was safe.The officers exchanged a look. “Okay, and what is your relationship with Johnny Steele?”Margret hesitated for just a second too
Chapter 167: Stage 2
Johnny rubbed the back of his neck briefly, adjusting his posture as he drove.“…Alright then,” he muttered. “That makes two at Stage 2… and one at Stage 1.”Johnny leaned back slightly in his seat as he drove. “Vixen load up my data”“Yes, Johnny,” her voice replied smoothly The screen appeared. --- [STATUS WINDOW] Name: Johnny Steele Rank: Beginner V Harem Members: 3 (Stage One: 2) / (Stage Two: 2) Isabella Grace Hartfield — Stage 1 Rhea Rhoades — Stage 1 Lydia Silver — Stage 2Sophie Green — Stage 2 Charm Level: 4 Combat Level: 37 Aura Level: 17 Net Worth: $15,577.38 Billion Cash Reserves (Bank): $4,505,992,000 Assets: Bugatti La Voiture Noire Rolls-Royce Boat Tail (×2) Nebula Hotel Silver Crest Holdings Airbus A380 (Flying Palace) Private Jet Mercedes-Maybach S 580 4MATIC X3 Skills: Instant Health Restoration Stealth Mode Psychic Paper Master Key Super Sense — Hearing Empath Reading —A short dry disbelieving laugh escaped him.Not loud, just… su
Chapter 166: Ring Ring
The phone kept ringing, while Johnny just stared at the screen witj his hand hovering just above it. His thoughts moving slower than they should.His body was still caught in the moment he had just been in, the warmth of Sophie still lingering against his skin.Then ringing stopped, and silence followed. A quiet kind of silence. The kind that felt heavier than noise.Sophie let out a quiet breath beside him. It wasn’t loud, it was small, almost unnoticeable, but Johnny felt it. The way her body relaxed slightly beneath him, the way her fingers loosened just a little against his arm.Relief.Johnny didn’t say anything. He just stared at the phone in his hand, his mind still catching up.Then—A soft vibration. A new notification -- Voicemail.His thumb moved before he could overthink it. He picked up the phone and tapped the notification.Margaret’s voice came through. “Johnny… I—I’m sorry.”Everything inside him stilled again.Sophie didn’t move now. She stayed still beneath him,
