After the toast, the tension in the room finally broke. For the next twenty minutes, the group mingled. Here, the conversation flowed easily and it didn't take a while for Maxwell to feel comfortable enough around them and get involved in the conversations they were having.

Victoria introduced him to the family friends, who individually approached him and shook his hand firmly and looked him in the eye, something he wasn't used to. Clara kept the energy high, chatting about the city and asking

    The impact was thunderous. The entire table shook violently; plates rattled and glasses tipped over, spilling wine and water across the white linen. Matthew's nose made a sickening crunching sound as it connected with the solid wood.Maxwell didn't want to do this and had been holding himself back all this time. But what was he supposed to do? Mathew was refusing to leave, "I told you to leave," Maxwell said coldly, his voice absolutely devoid of emotion.Eyes wide and mouth agape, Chloe was speechless. She came out of her shock and screamed, a shrill, piercing sound that brought the entire restaurant to a standstill. She scrambled to her boyfriend side as he pulled his face up, groaning. Blood was already gushing from his mouth, staining his hands and his expensive shirt. He coughed, and two white objects clattered onto the table. His front teeth."My teeth!" Matthew hissed, his voice whistling through the gap. He cupped his mouth, staring at the bloody molars in his palm with wide

    "Hawthorne?" Matthew’s voice cut through the air, smooth as silk and twice as cold. He let a mocking smile play on his lips as he stepped closer to the table. “And you’re having lunch with him? My apologies, Ms Hawthorne. I had no idea your family's standards had become so… charitable.”Sophia looked up, her expression unreadable. “Yes. Is there an issue?”“An issue? No, not at all.” Matthew pulled out the empty chair at their table without asking, the legs scraping against the marble floor with deliberate friction. He sat heavily, leaning forward like a concerned friend. “It’s just a bit tragic. I don’t know if Maxwell mentioned it between the appetizers, but my brother is currently a professional failure. Last I heard, he was desperately scraping by with delivery jobs and warehouse work. Living paycheck to paycheck like the embarrassment he is.”Chloe, Matthew’s girlfriend, slid into the seat next to Sophia without invitation. She didn't look at Maxwell; she looked at her own reflec

    Matthew still hadn't noticed Maxwell yet. He was too busy talking to the hostess and flashing that irritating smile that made Maxwell's stomach turn.A beautiful woman stood beside him, dressed in a red pencil skirt and designer blouse that screamed wealth and privilege. Probably Matthew's girlfriend, if Maxwell had to guess. She looked exactly the type, polished, poised, artificial. Exactly the kind of shallow woman the Lexus family would approve of for their precious golden son.Maxwell's hands clenched into fists under the table, his knuckles turning white.Of all the restaurants in this entire massive city, Matthew had to walk into this one? Right now? At this exact moment?What kind of terrible luck was this?!Normally Maxwell wouldn't be bothered by coincidences like this. The city was big, sure, but the circles wealthy people moved in were surprisingly small. Running into familiar faces wasn't unusual at all.But Matthew wasn't just anyone. Matthew was trouble. Always had been,

    But then again, Maxwell thought, wasn't it equally possible that Artemis had been trying to manipulate him instead? Poisoning the well before Sophia could even establish a friendship?Besides, what harm could one lunch do? He was hungry anyway after that brutal training session. And Sophia had seemed genuinely friendly at the gala, not calculating or manipulative at all.Sure, she'd clearly enjoyed watching Artemis lose the watch auction, but that seemed more like harmless competitive fun than genuine malice.Besides, Maxwell was hungry. And the alternative was going home to his empty penthouse and ordering takeout alone."Yeah, I'm free," Maxwell said finally. "Where did you want to meet?""Do you know Bistro Laurent downtown?" Sophia asked. "It's a French place, very low-key despite the fancy name. Good food, quiet atmosphere, perfect for actually having a conversation.""I can find it," Maxwell said, already pulling out his phone to check the address."Excellent! I'll meet you ther

    Casper held up one hand, silencing Eleanor's outburst instantly. His eyes never left Benjamin's face. And unlike Eleanor, Casper didn't look like he was sympathetic to his grandson at all. "You were driving recklessly," Casper said slowly, as if explaining something to a child. "You caused an accident by hitting another vehicle. Then when the driver confronted you about it, you laughed in his face."Benjamin's mouth opened in shock. "How did you...""Because I know you, boy," Casper said coldly. "You think the rules don't apply to you. You think your family name protects you from consequences. So when this man confronted you, you probably mocked him. Didn't you?"Damn! His grandfather knew him too well. Benjamin was at a loss for words. Indeed he was. What could he possibly say right now? The old man was right. "And then," Casper continued, his voice dropping dangerously low, "he beat you senseless. Made you look like a fool. Humiliated you in public at a gas station where anyone c

    Eleanor Brin came rushing down the grand staircase to meet her son who was limping, her designer heels clicked frantically against the marble steps. Her perfectly styled hair bounced with each step. Diamond jewelry glittered at her throat and wrists."Oh my God! My baby! What happened to you?" She grabbed his face with both hands, examining his injuries with wide, horrified eyes. "Who did this? Who dared to hurt my son?""I'm fine, Mother..." Benjamin tried to pull away, but she wouldn't let go."Fine? FINE?" Eleanor's voice rose to a near-hysterical pitch. "Look at your face! There's blood everywhere! Oh God, is your nose broken? It looks broken! We need to call Dr. Morrison immediately! And the police! Whoever did this to you. We're pressing charges right now!""Mother, stop it!" Benjamin snapped, removing her hand away. "No need to call the police. I will handle it myself. The bastard who did this to me will get what's coming to him.""It is true then. Someone put their hands on yo
