Even though the park manager had just watched this family get on Jeremy’s bad side, he still approached them with perfect politeness.

Wearing a pleasant smile, he said in a courteous tone, “Excuse me, may I ask for your cooperation? We’d like to record both of your names for our system.”

Technically, the couple could’ve refused. But in reality, they didn’t dare.

Things had already spiraled far enough. Whether or not their names made it onto the blacklist, they both knew they wouldn’t be coming back.

Pale–faced, they muttered their full names to the manager, then fled with their child, scrambling into the car like criminals on the run.

Inside the driver’s seat, the man was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling in panic.

After a long beat, he twisted around to glare at his wife, a mixture of shock and frustration in his voice. “You told me they were just normal people. How the hell did they end up owning the entire amusement park?”

The woman looked just as shaken. Her words stumbled out in a mess.

“I–I mean, they looked normal! Who lets their kid be a child model if they’re that rich? I didn’t know…”

Still clinging to hope, she tried to soothe him, “It’s fine, honey. It’s just one amusement park. Your boss is a real CEO. He’s on a whole different level…”

The man said nothing. The cigarette he’d been holding all this time finally lit with trembling fingers. He shut the car door and exhaled a heavy cloud of smoke, worry etched deep into his brows.

“Let’s hope so…”

But then he remembered–his name had just been given to that man.

His fingers started shaking, the cigarette bobbing unsteadily between them. Time seemed to warp as the ember slowly crept to the filter.

He didn’t even notice until the glowing tip burned his skin.

He hissed and instinctively pressed it out–with his
