“SAPPHIRE,” Harvey mumbled, gritting his teeth in annoyance as he snapped his neck, trying to calm himself down. It was Sapphire Remington who dared to interrupt him from hurting August, and also the one who threw the dagger to stab his right-hand man. He closed his eyes for a while and did three deep breaths before he looked at Sapphire. Sapphire, on the other hand, felt the opposite of annoyance— enjoyment. Her eyes flickered between Harvey and Mateo, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips as she noticed how Mateo flinched in pain because of what she did.“Why are you here?” Harvey asked. Still, annoyance was evident in his voice.“Uh, because this is my house?” Sapphire answered sarcastically as a smirk escaped from her lips. Both her hands were crossed onto her chest as she raised a brow. “And I was just looking for a place where I could rest. I didn’t even know that something was going on here.”Of course, it was a lie.And of course, Harvey wasn’t stupid to know it.‘Liar

“YOU DISRESPECTFUL and ungrateful child! Don’t you have any manners on how to be a good visitor when you’re in someone’s house? Did Sherry teach you that way?!” Charles scolded Harvey, who held onto his right cheek as his skin felt stung. "No, dad—" Harvey was about to explain, but Charles continued interrupting him. "Do you think I wouldn't know what you did to August?!" Charles was mad, and it was evident in his expression and his voice as well. "Do you take me as a fool?! Imbecile!" And in another second, Charles slapped Harvey on the left cheek this time. Harvey gasped as he felt how strong the force was on Charles' hand. He wanted to say something but decided not to speak as Charles gave him a deadly gaze. "It's not like that—" Harvey's explanation stopped mid-way when he realized something. "Why are you taking that bastard's side over me, dad?" "Bastard?" Charles' grip on his crane tightened. "Be careful with your words, Harvey. Or I might remove all your wealth right now."

“YOU SMELL good.”Bruce and Samantha were lying on the king-sized white bed while watching an erotic movie. Samantha didn’t like the movie that much, but she liked the fact that Bruce’s hand was slowly entering her nightgown, caressing her right breast with his palm.“Oh,” Samantha mumbled as Bruce’s face leaned onto her neck, and after a while, she felt Bruce lick her skin— slowly and passionately as he gave him small love bites.Samantha arched her back in pleasure. Bruce’s hands started to roam around her body. She knew where their make-out would go, given the movie that was playing in the background. She was willing to give herself all over again as Bruce was also ready to give his wealth in exchange.Yet, a loud phone call disturbed their almost hot, steamy night.“Fuck.”Bruce, who was also in the momentum of giving Samantha a hard bang, groaned in annoyance as he stood up and got his phone on the side table to check who was calling him this late at night.“Could you please not

TOMORROW MORNING, Bruce and Samantha were in a shopping mall. Samantha roamed around the stores looking for a bag since Bruce promised him to get her one. They were happily shopping together like Bruce didn’t shout at her yesterday.Well, she decided to forgive him quickly, even without an apology, because of the bag that he’ll buy for her.Samantha wasn’t picky when it comes to bags— in fact, she loved everything.But the event that they were going to the next month was something she couldn’t take easily. It was like a reunion for all the rich people within the top eleven to top fifty, and since the Sandoval family was in the top fifty, they were invited to the party, and Bruce would let her join as his fiance.“This looks good,” Samantha told Bruce who had his hands in his pocket while roaming the place. They were now in a Gucci department store. Samantha pointed at the black bag which was covered by a squared glass and imagined that she was holding it in her hands. She smiled in

“AUGUST?!” Samantha shouted in shock as she almost stumbled on the floor. Gladly, Bruce was behind her, acting all pretentious and sweet in front of the two salesladies, as he held onto her back to prevent her from falling. Her jaws almost fell on the floor as she couldn’t believe who was the guy the saleslady pointed at earlier. At first, she wasn’t able to recognize August because his facial appearance, and also his body build, changed a lot. He wasn’t like the August she knew back then. But she recognized the cap he was wearing. ‘It was the cap I gave him on his birthday,’ Samantha thought as she blinked twice. She felt something poked into her heart as August still cherished the gifts she had been given to him, although it wasn’t sincere. Those are the things Bruce didn't do to her when they became engaged. Bruce only wanted her body, and she only wanted his wealth. It may be painful to Samantha, but she knew that she just needed to endure, and everything will be fine. “S

“THE CARD was named after him…” Mina trailed off as her eyes flickered between Bruce, Samantha, and Triana— which all were giving a deadly gaze at her. Mina doesn’t have any characteristics to judge someone based on their appearance. However, as a part of the protocol, and since August was going to buy the most expensive bag, she needed to do a fact check. And with that, she realized that it was impossible for the card to be stolen if it was named after August in the first place. “Impossible!” Bruce exclaimed as Mina’s words made his blood boil. “An ordinary man like him couldn’t even have the right to touch a black card like this!” Without permission, Bruce grabbed the black card from Mina’s hand. He looked at it with frustration, because August had an expensive card like that, and amusement because it was his first time to see such a luxurious card that costs millions of dollars, at least. “Are you sure that it’s his, Mina?” Triana answered back. She crossed her arms and raised

LITTLE DID everyone knows, the Remington Corporation was the major shareholder in this store, and Charles named the shares under August. He could even not pay for the bags if he wanted to. However, Charles gave him a black card that he could spend because of the major improvements he had in his first training. Besides that, he doesn’t want to showcase to everyone about his newly owned company. August dialed his phone and called someone. For August, women like Triana make the world worse— people who base their kindness on someone’s worth were worthless themselves. They were the reason why people try hard to be worthy even though their existence was already worthy from the start. “Hello?” August greeted as the person on the other line answered. His glance flickered on Bruce and Samantha before he spoke. “Are you busy? Can you do a little favor for me?” “Anything for the Remington family, young master,” Zeke, who was currently at a business meeting, responded. “What is it?” Zeke, w

Hello to all! This is not an update. Sorry. Daily updates will resume on January 1, 2023, every 3 pm UTC+8. I have four schedule updates already, so rest assured that the updates will publish at that time. Again, thank you everyone for reading this story and adding this to your library! If you like a fast-paced story with lots of faceslapping (rest assured. I prepared my outline for this, haha) but of course, August's plans would not also happen the way he planned it to be (hmmm!) Anyway, let me give you a sneak peak on the next chapter! “I… I…” Triana wanted to say something, but it seemed like her voice left her throat already. August shook his head, having no plans to talk to Triana anymore. Instead, he looked at Bruce who was already staring at him. “Take good care of your girl, okay?” August said. Mixed emotions of worry and sarcasm were evident in his voice. “Don’t let anyone treat her as a pushover.” HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

“I-I’M SORRY!”Triana suddenly went onto her knees. She rested her palms on her thighs as tears cascaded onto her eyes. This was the first time she did such a thing— kneeling in front of someone and begging for their forgiveness.But she couldn’t afford to lose this job! This is the only achievement she could brag to anyone. If she were fired from her job, what more could she be proud of? Nothing!“I-I’m sorry if I offended you in any way, sir!” Triana pleaded as her hands traveled onto August’s shoes, lightly caressing them. “I promise not to do it again!”Triana’s screams and pleas filled the room. Even Mina was shocked to see what Triana was doing. Never in her life did she see Triana

“YOUNG—”Nicollo, one of August’s people, was about to greet him like how they greet him when they were at home, but suddenly remembered that no one could know about August being another adopted child. So, they couldn’t call him young master.August suddenly shook his head. Nicollo suddenly understood what he wanted to say indirectly. He didn’t continue what he was going to say. Instead, he opened another topic.“The master was looking for you.” Nicollo lied as he cleared his throat. “He personally asked me to fetch you.”He did that because he saw that Bruce Sandoval was looking at their young master intently.‘I couldn’t do something that would place th
