BRUCE snapped his neck before he turned his head to see who was the bastard who dared to stop him. He was ready to say curses and burst into anger— he was already mad because of August in the first place— but he stopped when he saw who it was.
“Mr. C-Charles Remington,” Bruce mumbled with his voice cracking.
He blinked his eyes twice, unable to believe the sight beside him. He only saw Charles on television before. It was really hard for families not in the top ten to see someone from a high-ranking family, but now, it was like a dream come true.
‘This fucking pathetic commoner is also useful somehow!’ Bruce said at the back of his mind in ecstasy. ‘Father would be happy if I told him about this!’

Chapter 56: I'll Make Him Pay
MEANWHILE, in the Sandoval mansion, Samantha was walking back and forth while waiting for Bruce to come home. She knew his plan all along— on going to the Remington mansion to ask August about setting an appointment with Charles Remington— but she’s still nervous. ‘Of all the years I worked for the Sandoval Corporation, I knew that the high-ranking people don’t show themselves that much,’ Samantha said at the back of her mind. Samantha played with her lower lips using her fingers as she continued walking like a tornado that continued spinning. She looked at her wristwatch again and muttered, “Why isn’t he here?” “Sis, can you just sit down?” Daphne, who was also in the living room with her, spoke. “I’m watching TV and I can’t seem to focus. I’m already dizzy because you walk back and forth like this place is a runway.” Samantha’s face went into a grimace. She raised a brow as her other hand went on her waist— like a landlady ready to attack Daphne anytime. “If you’re just going to
Chapter 57: Yellow Sports Car
A WEEK had passed, and everything was silent— something that August didn’t expect to happen. He thought that Bruce would make a way to humiliate him or destroy his reputation as he made before, but he didn’t make any move.However, August didn’t let his guard down. Still, he continued on his physical training, not just for the part of Charles’ planned training for him, but also to prepare himself for whatever was coming in the future.“Fuck,” August muttered under his breath as his knuckles hurt because of one hard punch he made, making him stop punching for a while as he stretched his hand, relieving the pain in it.Fortunately, all his wounds, including the severe wound on his stomach last time, were healed— Thanks to the advanced medicines the Remin
Chapter 58: Threat
“FATHER,” August greeted as he entered Charles' office. “Maxine told me that it's an urgent matter,” he added as he continued walking, and stopped as soon as he was in the near distance with Charles' table.Charles nodded before he pointed at the couch. “Take a seat, son.”Even if August thought that all their conversations as father and son were all pretendings and a part of his training, Charles was still delighted every time he could call August his son, without any fears that August would get weirded out.“Did something happen?” asked August as Charles sat in front of him, and placed the crane on his side. “You look paler than the last tim
Chapter 59: The Abuser
“Samantha!” August exclaimed loudly as his eyes widened. “What are you saying? Are you out of your mind?!”Some maids looked at him because he shouted, but for now, he didn’t care about that.The shock was evident in his voice. He knew that Samantha might be stubborn sometimes, but she was not the type of person who would say something like that.It may be because of two things— she was threatening him, or something happened to her.“I’m glad that you still know me,” said Samantha. He could hear the mixture of sadness and amusement in her voice.“How will I not? We were together for a long time,”
Chapter 60: Like Nothing Happened
“AUGUST…” Samantha muttered as her gaze traveled onto his fists.Her mouth formed into an O. She wanted to explain— remembering the times when August repeatedly asked her about the bruises— but she couldn’t force herself to do it.Samantha didn’t know what to say, and she couldn’t understand what she felt as she saw August in front of her. It felt like she could now sigh in relief— like a person who will always take her side already arrived.However, she was the one who placed him in danger… and will continuously do it for her greed.On the other hand, August could only look at her with annoyance.“Hey,” Bruce
Chapter 61: Rich Families' Gathering
“DID HE lose his mind already? Or… did you beat him up too much?” Harvey asked Bruce as he stared intently at August who acted like he wasn’t beaten up by them earlier. He found it odd that although August acted like he was in deep pain earlier, but now, he could even walk properly without holding his stomach. Harvey’s face went into a grimace— feeling irritated and confused at the same time. “Maybe it is.” Bruce shrugged, ignoring August as he didn’t care about him anymore. “Maybe my hard punches have shaken up his brain. It will be good if that’s the case.” Bruce was already satisfied that he made August his punching bag. Whatever he would do next would not concern Bruce anymore. “Forget about him, man,”
Chapter 62: Someone's Watching Her
INSIDE THE Rosehouse, where everything turned upside down for August, a grand gathering was held.August was on the second floor of the place, hiding in one of the rooms there, as he watched all people with their expensive gowns and luxuries while obviously hating each other with their pretentious smiles and gestures.“Hah.” August couldn’t help but smile.It felt like he was back in the previous time. The only difference is that he wasn’t on the stage anymore, but somewhere in hiding. On top of that, he wasn’t as pathetic as before.“Saw something interesting?” Sapphire, who was fixing her silver dress with a slit on her right thigh, asked.She
Chapter 63: Representative of Top Three Families
AFTER HER conversation with Mona, Daphne went to the restroom to calm herself down. She washed her hands, fixed her make-up, and breathed heavily as she stared at the mirror, forcing a smile.“She had the guts to call me a bitch? Hah.” Daphne snorted as she fixed her pouch and placed some strands of her hair to the back of her ears.If there’s something she realized at this party, it’s the fact that most people will annoy her, if not all.On top of that, some people would really have the guts to ask for someone’s help and make it look like it’s an opportunity to help them, even if it isn’t.Daphne made one last heavy breath as she was about to go outside the restroom to find someone, but stopped when her ph
