Alondra didn’t hear anything else as her thoughts were loud with Jerad’s words. When he touched her arm lightly, she blinked and the drifted pieces of her attention snapped back. His face looked concerned.

"Are you all right?" he asked quietly.

She forced a smile and nodded too quickly as though she were returning from somewhere far away and needed to prove she belonged in the present again.

She stood up before anyone could notice her excitement. Glass in hand, she lifted it high. "To us," she called, and the circle around her obliged with a cheer. Reading the mood, the bartender turned the volume up, and the beat grew louder, filling the small space.

The hurt inside her had eased. A slow, small smile lifted the edge of her mouth as relief washed over her.

She let out a soft laugh, the jealousy she had felt earlier now changing into something sharper and deadlier, "So he hired Lyriel?" she thought. "Thinking he could humiliate me with a puppet?"

She danced harder and smiled for real.

    Lyriel shifted her gaze from Alondra to Damien, noticing how pale and unsteady he looked, his body swaying slightly as Alondra clung to his arm for support.Her eyes dropped to Alondra’s hand gripping Damien, and her eyes darkened, a dangerous smirk curving the corner of her mouth."Alondra," she said softly, almost teasingly. "Do you know what happened to the last person who touched what belonged to me?"Alondra’s eyes narrowed but she didn’t let go. “Like I care,” she snapped, trying not to look bothered.Before she could blink, Lyriel was on her like a shadow. She shoved Alondra away from Damien and seized her by the throat, slamming her back against the wall with enough force to make her groan."I destroyed them," Lyriel whispered, her voice low but venomous.Alondra barely had time to breathe before Lyriel produced a small pocket knife and held it up between them. “You called me wild,” she continued. "And yet, you dare to drug the man of a woman you called ‘psycho.’ So I’ll do yo

    Dinner ended quietly in the mansion. Damien didn’t join the family at the table, but that didn’t stop Gilbert from approaching him afterward. He walked over, sat down across from Damien, and leaned back in his chair.Before speaking, Gilbert glanced around carefully to make sure the chairman and his mother weren’t nearby. Once he was sure they were out of sight, he reached out, grabbed the car keys from the table, and stood up.Damien simply watched him with a calm expression."Let’s meet at Eclipse Bar," Gilbert said firmly. Without waiting for a response, he turned on his heel and walked outside.Damien rose from his seat as well. He didn’t call after Gilbert or try to stop him; instead, he quietly headed for the door. Moments later, he was in his car.Settling into the driver’s seat, he pulled out his phone and dialed Lyriel."I’ll be at eclipse bar tonight," he said casually. "If you’re bored, come by and we’ll grab a few drinks. You know, a little celebration for our future wins.

    Gilbert’s fingers slowly balled into a tight fist, but before he could say a word, the chairman spoke."Tell me, Damien… where did you ever hear that violence solves anything?" His tone was heavy like he was already exhausted.But Damien didn’t look at him. His eyes were still locked on Gilbert, watching him like he was studying every reaction. Only after a long moment did he finally turn away and glance at the picture lying on the table once more."So," he said slowly, "who exactly discovered this version of me I supposedly know nothing about?"Nobody answered, so he continued in the same mocking tone."Okay, so you’re saying I’m the one who beat these men up and they’re the innocent ones? Right. At this rate I might as well audition for the Avengers."He shook his head with a laugh that wasn’t really a laugh, then looked straight at the chairman. With a lazy sigh, he pushed back his chair.Smiling faintly, he rose to his feet and walked a few steps away from the table so no one woul

    Natalia widened in disbelief as she stared at Alondra as if she had completely lost her mind. "You’re serious about drugging Damien? What exactly are you planning... sleeping with him, or something worse? Because I honestly don’t get it."Alondra released a sly smile, her eyes glinting with mischief as she gave a low chuckle."Well… can’t say," she replied lazily. "You’ll just have to wait until tonight to see how it goes."Natalia blinked, stunned. "Tonight?" she repeated, her voice rising. "You’re planning on doing it tonight?"Alondra chuckled again, her laughter slow and unsettling as though the whole thing amused her. She twirled the small bottle in her fingers, staring at it like it was some kind of achievement."You should worry less," she said coldly. "With Gilbert on my side, things will go exactly as planned." Her gaze hardened, fixing on the bottle before she gently set it on the bedside table.Natalia shifted to a side uncomfortably. She wanted to say more, but Alondra’s

    Jerry’s voice crackled through the phone, filled with surprise. “What do you mean by that? Do you want them to know you’re alive now?" he asked, almost breathless.Lyriel gave a steady smile. "Me? Who knows? I can’t say for sure… but I do want to see the look on their faces, honestly." She chuckled, finding the thought funny."That’s not funny," Jerry muttered.Lyriel rolled her eyes. "I’m serious. I want to be at that wedding."There was a pause, then instead of responding, Jerry’s next question was a little worried. "And Lyriel, how do you plan to get your company back at this point? Everyone seems to have forgotten about you. When will you ever return and take your place again?"She let out a soft breath and stare up at the ceiling. “That’s enough about that for today, Jerry. Everyone already thinks I died in that car accident.""Lyriel," he said seriously."There you go being serious again," she replied, then her tone hardened. "But I’ve gathered enough evidence against those two.

    The red line on the big display kept sinking lower and lower and every drop made the crowd more restless. Soon, mocking voices filled the hall."Wasn’t that kid confident earlier? Where’s that confidence now?"“He spoke carelessly moment ago like he’s been in this business for decades... I feel pity for those who listened to him." Another laughed."Mr. Xiao must be very disappointed in his daughter for following the word of some kid because of their pretty face. Young people these days." Another clicked their tongue."They need to stay home and play with toys, not enter real business."The insults hit hard, each word feeling like a stone thrown at Damien. Some laughed openly, others shook their heads in pity, and even Miss Xiao standing near him felt the pressure of the humiliation.Damien, however, stayed calm, his eyes following the falling red line as he placed his hand on his chin, deep in thought. Then suddenly, a memory came back to him.He recalled sitting in on a meeting with
