A salesgirl immediately came to greet me. "Good morning, sir! What kind of car are you looking for?""A Range Rover would be nice," I said. "Hopefully within the price range of a few hundred thousand dollars. Got anything good?"Her eyes lit up. Jackpot. She had just spotted a big spender."Of course! Our shop has all kinds of cars!" she chirped excitedly, leaning a little closer than necessary.I took a cautious step back. "Uh, hem, yeah. Can you show me?"She froze, embarrassed.Before she could reply, a snort cut through the air. "Wow, looks like we've got ourselves a super VVIP over here, don't we? I thought you'd have more money than a Range Rover, Sebastian. Aren't you supposed to be driving a McLaren or a Rolls-Royce?"I turned. Mila stood there in the shop uniform, her expression full of contempt. She had gotten a job here.The salesgirl eagerly ran up to her. "Did you just say… he's a super VVIP?! Do you know him?!"Mila snorted. "Him? VVIP? Not even in his dreams! He

"Pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Grimwald!" the manager said.He had never closed a 200,000-dollar deal so quickly.Alice found the whole thing surreal.Mila finally saw that events were not following her script. "Wait a goddamn minute. He signed it? Just like that? That cannot be right. He does not have the money. He is a fraud putting on a show for me!"The manager answered by slapping her. "Shut up. He has already paid in full. Who do you think you are? Why would Mr. Grimwald care about your pitiful existence enough to try to impress you?"Mila stood stunned. She forgot the pain on her cheek. "B-But how? You should be running out of money already. How much did Baron Inc. pay you for that crappy gig of yours?"I snorted. "Just enough to embarrass you. Sir, correct me if I'm wrong. A salesperson who shows zero professionalism and insults a potential customer deserves to be fired, right?"The manager nodded. "That is correct, Mr. Grimwald. Koch, you are fired."Mila could

"With someone as powerful as you around, it's only a matter of time before we become a second-class elite family, right? You can't possibly ignore your in-laws' welfare, can you?"I was speechless. This son of a bitch had been bluffing the entire time, relying on nothing but a flimsy connection to me, while parading his imagined future as if it were already written!"Piss off. And that dumbass girlfriend of yours, too," I snapped, glaring at him. "Today's the day your grandmother is discharged. For her sake, I'm holding back from slapping the hell out of you.""Thank you, Sebastian! I know I've done wrong! I really do! I'm leaving right away! Heh heh!" He grinned, all ingratiating charm. Then, without warning, he kicked Mila."You bitch! You almost made me cross my brother-in-law! The only reason I'm still standing is because he's merciful!"Didn't I tell you my family's fortune and power came from my brother-in-law?! Did your pea brain remember that?!" he screamed, continuing to

Sabine grinned. "I want to get into Sebastian's car, but… am I interrupting a moment? Should I take an impromptu stroll instead?"Claire's face burned with embarrassment. She barely lifted her head. "Grandma, come on! We're… Nothing's going to happen, okay? Just get in already!"I stepped out to help Sabine up."Yeah, I agree. Any more of that, and I might asphyxiate!" I joked.Claire jabbed me, flustered. "Why are you like this too?!"I feigned pain. "Oww! You do realize your grandmother is right here, don't you? I'll rat you out!"…Her hand recoiled, and a small, sweet smile appeared.Sebastian recalled their agreement—they were supposed to pretend to be a couple whenever Sabine was around.She just wished it were more than pretend."Aww, youngsters. I understand the fun, but Cici, you should start teasing Sebastian now!" Sabine said, delighted.Sebastian was the best grandson-in-law, ever.-I drove Claire and Sabine home. The old woman had wanted me to stay for a meal

"But if you still care about me, why are you tormenting me like this?!" Hera yelled.She tightened her fists, her nails digging into her flesh. "Fine! Leave this home! I'll accept Bastien's confession in return! Do you know he's been trying to woo me? He's better than you in every way! I only held back from agreeing for your sake!"I paused slightly. Hera interpreted it as hesitation and smiled faintly."Sure, whatever you like," I replied. "After all, I don't want you anymore."I marched to my car and left.…Hera's tears rolled down her cheeks silently. "He doesn't want me anymore. He doesn't…"She felt like the most tragic character in the world. All she had done was make a small mistake, and somehow Sebastian refused to forgive her.Her pride and ego would never allow her to be unwanted by anyone!"I won't let you go so easily, Sebastian! One day, you'll be on your knees, begging to be with me again!" she said, wiping her tears away with determined resolve. "You hate seein
