Carter handed me the sales report with a casual air. "Tas is Mrs. Bolton. From now on, any Lustre Jewels transactions go through my wife.

The manager froze, his face betraying utter disbelief. Our private marriage had yet to be revealed to the public, and his shock was palpable. However, Carter's words carried undeniable authority. The manager quickly recomposed himself, adjusting his tone to one of respect. "My apologies, Mr Bolton. I didn't recognize you carlier.

I allowed myself a small smile, savoring the moment. "s alright. You're dismissed," I said, enjoying the rare chance to assert some dominance.

Nearby, two onlookers seethed with visible fury, Sadie's hand trembled as she pointed at me, her voice rising in anger. "You wo schemed to inflate the price and scam us, didn't you?" Feigning innocence, I responded, "Sadie, I don't appreciate the accusation. Who's scamming who here? You were the one so eager to compete with me. And in the end, didn't I graciously let you have what you wanted?"

Ashley's face darkened as realization dawned. He'd been outplayed. For families like the the Hudsons and Gardners, 2 billion might be negligible, but for Ashley, the humiliation was intolerable. Reflecting on the sequence of events, it was clear I had masterfully led them into this trap.

Instead of directing his frustration at me, Ashley turned his ire toward Carter. "Mr. Bolton, your business acumen is well-known.

hint of emotion.

But then, to my surprise, he replied with a single, cutting word. "Idiot."

There was no attempt to soften the blow-just a blunt, brutal insult.

The sheer audacity of it left Ashley stunned.

It felt like a moment pulled straight from a dramatic novel of vengeance.

I added with a sweet, mocking smile, "Thank you, Ms. Gardner and Mr. Hudson, for your generous contribution of 2 billion. We at Lustre Jewels greatly appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again." Sadie's face twisted in fury as she stormed off. "Zoey, mark my words-you'll regret this!"

Her dramatic exit had me laughing so hard I could barely stand upright.

I wondered if Zoey was watching this from heaven.

Omised to avenge her, and this was just the beginning. None of them would escape unscathed.

On the drive back, I couldn't hide my grin.
