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.

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…”

“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.
