(Dahlia POV)“Count it, my dear. Don't be surprised by what you see. I know you've only recently seen this amount of money. They spent a lot of money only to get the small café.” Grandma expresses her pride to me.I'm not sure if I'll be honest with Grandma. I'm worried about her health. She appeared to be in a good mood at the moment. Should I become the Queen of Killjoy? No.We are not the ones who win the contracts. Kai had been laughing uncontrollably when we left. Damn. He ensures that I will return to face him. "All right, Grandma, I'll count it now." I lied to her about the money for sake of her health.I was almost in tears as I counted the plain paper. But in my mind, I was already devising a strategy for dealing with the Prince of Arrogance. Later, I'll give them the perfect trouble they're looking for. "How much did we receive?" "Two mill

(Cedrick POV)“Ouch. Cedrick, she isn't interested in you."  As if I'm the one who's interested in the woman. "Perhaps she is interested in me?" “How did you get such a thick face?” Ah!  It's natural for an arrogant individual to act this way. But please remember that I am not interested in even a single strand of your hair. It didn't even cross my mind to like you. I won't ever fall for you. Arrogant! Tss. I'm just wasting my time here. Kindly give me the money, now.” "Really? You can't possibly love someone like me? Miss Dahlia, maybe you're not aware who you are talking to.” It is a sense of warning. "No!" The woman responded aloud.Master Kai, I think we are also wasting a lot of time here, dealing a nonsense thing.  "Please have a seat." Oh sh*t. He wants to prolong the discussion.

(Dahlia POV)When I entered Carlo's room and saw him, I knew he would recover quickly. I need to talk to him; he'll be up shortly. But just because Kai is suddenly doing something for Carlo doesn't mean we can't sue him. I know Auntie will fight for her son's justice. Especially, Auntie is after the compensation, not because her son was hurt. Or maybe I'm just having terrible thoughts about Carlo's parents. I underestimate their ability to be a parent. They might not be looking for money at all.Hopefully, Auntie will imprison Kai Carter for being a mean guy and make him pay for what he did. I want him to rot in prison. However, there may be a backlash against my wishes; many women, particularly those who know him, may object. He's much too attractive. He is dangerous for a woman. And I know that thing is not impossible. I wonder how many women you made cry, Kai Carter? Since so much had happened throughout the day,

(Venal POV)My employees notified me after the conference that Master Dryzen's luggage had arrived. I discovered him analyzing ancient relics in the laboratory with some highly adept scientists."Master Dryzen, the collected pawn gems have arrived."Master Dryzen removed his gloves and then turned away from what he was doing. I followed him into the room where the expensive jewelry was being delivered. Master Dryzen was motivated to collect the pawned jewels because he was looking for a rare stone. He wishes that the key to the dragon's kingdom would be in his hands sooner. We, and especially him, amassed a collection of pawnbrokers' jewelry, supposedly containing the stone he sought.On the table were rows of highly protected sealed luggage. The staff opened it one at a time, so Master Dryzen could see what was within. We looked through a lot, but it was clear from Master Dryzen's expression that he wasn't finding what he was search

(Dahlia POV)They were about to drag me, but I managed to elude their grasp."I'm sure it's apparent to you, Miss Dahlia, what we discussed. So you have to cooperate with them.” Cedrick reminds me. "You know what will happen if we don't arrive at Master Kai's dinner in time. So, be obedient and collaborate with them."The only thing I could do with what Cedrick said was stared at him evilly. I really didn't expect my situation to be like this. I need to end the madness; they are doing to our family. For now, I should be obedient and follow their desire.I didn't oppose when they dragged me. I couldn't complain because they were obviously in a hurry.“Take a bath first Miss, within four minutes. Allow them to assist you to make things easier. I'll simply talk to Cedrick about giving more time he provides us to get you ready. Tss. He thinks it is easy to makeover someone like you. It's obvious we will have a har
