I recognized that man. He was Derek Hall, someone belonging to the same social circle as I did. He had even attended my birthday banquet a decade earlier. I placed the bowl of ravioli before him and replied calmly, "It's just to make a living."Derek froze for a second, probably caught off guard by my response. He looked down and took a couple of bites before suddenly remembering something. "Hannah and Mia returned to Halport. Have you heard about that, Theo?"I stopped wiping the table for a brief moment and replied, "No."Derek looked at me, as if he regretted bringing it up. He could only keep going since he had already started it, though. "I heard Isaac's heart condition flared up. Hannah and Mia both went along to his follow-up. They made quite a huge scene out of it."He hesitated briefly, then looked at me warily. "If you had married one of them back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this…"He didn't finish the rest of his sentence. He probably thought that it was

I found it utterly baffling when Isaac actually cried and said he was frightened by the whole situation. He even wanted me to be punished for it.Mia remained silent for a long time before she picked up the knife on the table. "Isaac only wants one of your fingers, so once this is over, we'll pretend none of this happened, Theo."I looked at her and suddenly burst out laughing. Mia had once taken a knife for me, yet she was now holding a knife and pinning my hand in place. She brought the blade down, and my left ring finger dropped to the floor.I was shaking uncontrollably from the pain, but I could still hear Isaac chuckling softly. "I just wanted you to experience what it feels like to lose something, Theo."I stopped wiping the table as the memories caught up. Hannah and Mia were standing right in front of me—one was quiet, while the other had an awful look on her face. They probably recalled what happened back then as well.They still looked pristine and respectable after ten

Upon hearing that, Hannah went pale.Just then, Dad arrived. Pushing open the banquet hall doors, he let out a sigh of relief when he saw me standing there unscathed. Then his eyes fell on Hannah and Mia, pinned back by the bodyguards, and Isaac—crying and disheveled in my suit—being hauled away. Dad's expression immediately hardened as he asked, "What's going on here?"I walked over to Dad and pointed at Isaac, saying, "Isaac stole my suit and wore it, Dad."Dad turned to look at me.In the past, I was always afraid that Dad would see me as willful or unreasonable, think I was making things difficult for him, or view me as immature—so I bottled up a lot of my grievances and stayed silent. I refused to endure it any longer. I was going to expose Hannah and the others. As the rightful heir of the Webster family, if I got pushed around, I had every right to have someone take my side.Dad reached out and patted my head. "You don't have to give in if you don't want to, Theo."Isa

I couldn't stop my voice from trembling as I said, "Something's wrong with the car, Dad."Dad's expression turned grim. "How could you possibly know that?"I couldn't tell him about the events ten years in the future, so I could only hold on tightly to his sleeve and say, "You just have to trust me this once, Dad."Dad looked at my pale complexion, remained silent for a few seconds, and nodded. "Alright, Theo."Just then, Dad's assistant, John Dalton, walked in and said, "Your ride is waiting downstairs, Mr. Sean. Hannah has also arrived at Valenmere, insisting that you have to be there to sign the paperwork yourself."I felt my heart sink when I heard Hannah's name. It went down the exact same way in my past. Dad had no intention of going down there personally, so Hannah called and claimed that a critical error in the paperwork required his immediate presence. I actually talked Dad into it back then, saying, "Hannah has always been so careful with her work, so it must be a real
