A threat? He was being threatened because of some shoes? Before Maxwell could retort, the woman spoke up interrupting him."This is completely unfair!" the woman muttered loudly enough for everyone to hear before she stormed angrily out of the store like a child throwing a tantrum.Maxwell watched her dramatic exit, genuinely surprised that anyone could get that angry over shoes! He looked at the older guy, the one who had threatened him, and sighed dismissively before walking out into the bright afternoon sunlight, feeling pretty good about his purchase despite the bizarre encounter.___Maxwell got in his sports car and drove away from the shopping district, still processing what had just happened. A little while later, he was halfway through downtown when his phone buzzed loudly in the center console.Victoria's name flashed on the screen.Maxwell quickly answered it, putting her on speaker. "Hello?""Maxwell." Victoria's voice was calm but he could definitely hear the slight edg

With those thoughts in mind, Derek began walking confidently toward Maxwell, ready to confront him about the shoes and put this nobody in his place.Amanda watched her boyfriend approach the man who had stolen those super expensive limited edition shoes from under her nose, and she'd been powerless to do anything about it back then. She'd thought she would never see those shoes again, never get another chance at them.But who knew that person would show up here tonight, giving her yet another opportunity to claim what should have been hers! However, this time it wasn't simply because she wanted her boyfriend to have those shoes anymore. She actually hated Maxwell already despite only meeting him today for the first time! He had completely outdone her in that store, humiliated her in front of everyone, and coming from a wealthy family herself, Amanda took that as a direct personal challenge from him!Nobody made Amanda Chen look like a fool and got away with it! Nobody!Amanda felt com

Maxwell stared at Derek like he was looking at something that had crawled out from under a rock. This whole thing was unreal to him. Someone from out of nowhere, just walked over to him and they wanted what?."Let me get this straight. You walked all the way over here to demand I give you the shoes I'm currently wearing because... what? You think you deserve them more?""I'm not asking," Derek said flatly. "The Huang family has connections throughout this city. We own properties in every major district. One phone call and I can make things very difficult for people who don't cooperate."Maxwell nodded slowly, taking in Derek's words. The Huang family. He'd heard the name before. They were a powerful family, major players in commercial real estate. Shopping centers, office towers, luxury residential buildings. Derek's father was probably sitting on multiple corporate boards right now. Still didn't change the fact that this whole situation was ridiculous."So you're threatening me," Max

"That assistant is about to learn a very important lesson about respect!" Derek declared confidently.Unfortunately for Maxwell, Brodie was already on his way to the hotel at this very moment! And things were about to go very, very bad for him!On the other hand, Amanda had a deep frown across her face. She liked the idea of Maxwell getting exactly what he deserved - that arrogant bastard needed to be taught a lesson! However, she didn't like how Derek was executing this plan at all! He was doing it like a complete idiot!She grabbed Derek's arm urgently, her perfectly manicured nails digging into his expensive sleeve. "Wait! Are you completely out of your mind?"Derek stopped dead in his tracks and whipped around to face her, his expression darkening dangerously. "What did you just say to me?""I said, are you an idiot?" Amanda repeated, her voice sharp and cutting before she caught herself and quickly lowered it to an urgent hiss. "This is a high-profile charity gala! There are came

The organizer's face turned white. Derek Huangs personal security? These men?But technically, there was nothing in the rules against bringing security to a charity gala. Some of the wealthier guests had bodyguards stationed outside in the parking lot! And even if the organizer disagreed with this, he was not dealing with some average Joe right now. He was dealing with a Huang, and he didn't want to upset him and so he had to agree. "I... of course, Mr. Huang. If they're your guests..." the organizer said nervously, wringing his hands. Then, as polite as he could manage, he asked carefully, "If you don't mind me asking, why exactly do you need... security... inside the….."He didn't even finish his sentence before Derek interrupted him!"Of course I don't mind explaining!" Derek said loudly, making sure his voice carried to the nearby guests who were already watching curiously. Even some guests who hadn't yet realized this was going on where finally alerted to it. And then Derek sta
